    That was possibly the most reflective, saddening, and heartwarming video on RUclips, it’s real, life is a struggle, but you get through it somehow, even when you don’t think you can. Wow, really great video!! What else can I say?! Hope your all well and healthy! And hope Austin and his Bentley are doing great! 👍🏻😂

    I hope the young man is ok now. My daughter, two years ago, at seventeen, had bone marrow transplant and we went through a very trying time. The little fella, Aston, took the hospitalisation in his strides. Kudos to both parents, it’s not easy.

    I love your video! I have the same Jaguar model, a 1999 XJ8 Vanden Plas in the USA. I try to keep mine looking as good as your Daimler! Where did you get the leather coloring kit? My seats need the same work done. I'm glad Aston is doing well!

      Hi thanks for the comment. The leather was repaired with a gliptone scuffmaster kit. But I dapped on 6 or 7 layers using a sponge, after sanding with fine sandpaper, and thoroughly cleaning.

    I bought exactly the same car 20 years ago. Was very nice and perfect engine. But sold it 2008 in perfect condition as there was no update for navigtaion maps from 2001 (!!!!) on. So I changed to an BMW7 E65 that time as the following Jaguar/Daimler models did and to not have the charisma of this old model. But loved that beautifull car. But the E65 is honestly the better car. Allthough not so stylish of course.

    • @chrisclark1825
      @chrisclark1825  3 года назад +1

      I actually had an E65 myself for a while - I'd agree much more advanced car, leagues ahead in technology, and I would say the ride was better on the E65 too. But I love the Daimler for its old world charm.
