Jaguar E-Type: Gwendoline
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2020
- Kenny Lombino grew up loving cars, and owes his early interest to his father, an enthusiast in his own right. Growing up outside of New York, Kenny remembers visiting the NY Auto Show with his father each year, but 1961 proved to be a particularly special edition as it marked the first time Kenny saw a Jaguar E-Type. As an eight-year-old, he vowed to grow up and own one, and as you can see in today’s film, he kept his promise.
Following a trip across Europe that culminated in watching E-Types duking it out on the track at the Silverstone Classic, Kenny decided to have his E-Type coupe modified comprehensively, from weight reduction to powertrain to suspension and brakes. The result is an E-Type that’s perfect for spirited drives in the mountains-a car that lives up to a lifetime of ongoing hype.

Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 250 GTO are 2 of the most beautiful cars ever made..
Etype って渋くて格好いい。(=^ェ^=)
Don't forget the Miura, low drag e-type too.
Jose Martinez Japanese copies of the E-Type you mean?
When Enzo Ferrari tells you your car is the most beautiful car ever built, nothing else compares.
@@UpToSpeedOnJaguar Except he never actually said that.
Having grown up with an E Type in the family I have to say, there is nothing like it when it comes to looks and sheer theatre. Thank you Petrolicious for another fantastic video.
Congratulations Kenny, you married your first love! It is THE car of your childhood dreams and you pulled it through to own it, but not only that - you stayed faithfully to it for decades! wonderful story.
This is truly a passion that no electric cars will ever get. I respect the electric cars and their purpose, but there’s nothing like an internal combustion engine roaring to life, the sound at each revs , the gears change, the sound of every mechanical parts in harmony... it’s just perfect and makes you feel good and one with your car. i’m glad to live in a world where we still have those cars around to give us that passion ! My ultimate dream car is the last exclusive manual supercar of Ferrari , the F50 and just thinking about it i hear the sound of the amazing 4.7L , 60 valves V12 revving all the way to 8500rpm 😍. This E-Type is truly amazing and i know why he feels like that for his car , he achieved his dream.
Jaguar E-Type, hard to imagine anything sexier than that...
Two Jaguar E-Types, maybe even three.
The Studebaker Avanti cuts it VERY close for me.
My wife
Jake Kaywell agreed!
Hubby of Mad 🙌🙌
Thank you Kenny for sharing your love for the E Type, and for not calling it a Jag-WIRE. I grew up around NYC and I heard it called that a lot.
I have always loved the look of the E type. I built the plastic model of it in the 70's and it was always my favorite build.
Kenny, you don't name your car Gwendoline, you name your daughter "E-type"
A B C Imagine the hospital bills!
haha!!
Good one dude
"Built to tear up pavement"
Drives at 30mph.
@lickmynuts alongtime Maybe he drove slowly for the purpose of the video. There's some videos on youtube from a man with the same name racing Ferraris...and not in a slow manner. I guess that is no coincidence.
@lickmynuts alongtime Maybe you're right in general, but maybe not in this special case. Just watch the youtube videos of that guy racing his Ferrari. Your first statement implied for me that your theory/experience also applies here...maybe I got that wrong. Still, I don't think your theoriy applies here.
lickmynuts alongtime ahh another poor hater
Who leads with, “my name is...I work on Wall Street”?!? Give me a break, guy!
Know what you mean fella🙄
agreed, that was not tasteful
An egomaniacal douche bag. He thinks that impresses people.
People say what they work on in a lot of videos, some of their jobs are car related, and some aren’t 🤷🏻♂️
Even Gwendoline is pretentious. It's certainly not a typical British girls name, not since the 16th century.
At first i was like " wow. He's kinda overhyped" and then when he said he works at wallstreet, i knew exactly whats going on :D Love video anyways
The E-Type is gorgeous but IMHO the prettiest car is the XKSS.
Jfieri1 Yep
Jag had it going in the 50's and 60's. I agree the xkss was beautiful. To my eye, the c type, D type, and low drag coupes are even prettier.I own a series one E type roadster and with the factory hardtop on, its just stunning.
@@52xk the hard top really makes it!
@@dudley7540 yes, the coupe is where the design lines really are. There's a BLACK COUPE series one in the NEW YORK METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF MODERN ART. Enzo had it right. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR IN THE WORLD. !!!!! GLORY HALLELUJAH
@@52xk the C-type was a stripped down purpose built race car lacked the detail and richness of the E-type design
It's never too late to have a happy childhood
A thing of beauty is a. JOY. FOREVER
The most beautiful car ever made.
Solid work dude!
As an FType owner, you have my complete respect
I will like this video since he said "Jaguar" correctly
unfortunately says coop instead of coupé though ;)
@@claverhouse1 haha
And he called her an E-Type and not an XKE
My dad took me to the Auto Show NYC in the 70’s. Was always in the NY Coliseum I believe. Cars always brings me back to my father and those days.
Lovely video Kenny. That E50 trip was great fun. Still got my E of course too. Good to see you again.
The "Jag" begs to be driven. Modern cars drive you. Thank you Petrolicious.
Started out bad...I WORK ON WALL STREET, DB, then the car has a name, DB. As a car guy I've never understood naming a car, I mean, most are born with a name, this ones called the E-type. You've gotta love smugness during these trying times!
I've given a name to my car. It's just a part of familiarizing yourself with the machine in my view.
@@johnlockesghost5592 seriously, who in the F introduces themselves I work on Wall Street. Sure, I'm smug about not naming my cars and if that's the case I'm proud to be smug because I'll never do it but if it works for you, go for it😷
@@johnlockesghost5592 thanks for sizing me up Frank, your couch was pretty comfortable, how much do I owe you for the session here? I get a Discount for calling me an asshole, right?
Does one go around speaking about their machine in public like it's a person? If so, expect to get looked at sideways, just doesn't work for me and millions like me.
@@johnlockesghost5592 Yeah, I really don't understand why he's so judgmental about such a seemingly trivial issue. If you don't want to give your car a "pet" name, fine, but don't think that those who do are somehow inferior.
@@klasseact6663 To answer this question: "Does one go around speaking about their machine in public like it's a person?", I do it interchangeably. My car is either a Gran Turismo Hawk or "Daisy-Mae". It hasn't attracted any odd looks so far to my knowledge, and even if it did, I'll keep on keeping on because that's what I like to do.
Another very hard up petrolicious car owner 😂 stunning car though I have to admit 👍🏻
When he mentioned that he works on Wall Street, I almost closed the video....
I stopped watching after Wall Street.
Me too, almost, but when the fat ass talked about modifying the car to lighten it, well, the laugh was worth it. Want to lighten the car? Jenny Craig!
Guy is a complete wanker
I was about to say the same.
What god dam relevance has working on wall street got to do with a dam thing.
It's about the cars on here buddy🙄
Why?
A beautiful car with a beautiful name.
Very nice history also.
Wow wow you reminded me of myself my father rest in peace Morgan owned 1967 series one 4.2 roadster with a factory, hard top original old English white me growing up as youngster used to play in it when it was parked up in the garage. Sometimes the key was in it when I turn ignition key and pushed the button. I remember what I loved about it. What’s the triple Wipes, i’ve never seen a car with free wipers and I knew it was special. It was a racing car made for the road, the dashboard the push button start. I remember I used to rev it up at a 10-11 I knew it was a beast It wasn’t meant condition, but it was a nice road Car I really miss it I wish I never sold it. Would you believe I sold it because my mum wanted it gone out the garage it was sitting in there for years and years. Would you believe it it was a series 1 roadster so much regret I think about every day or every other two days if I had it now and the thing is the bodywork was unbelievable. It wasn’t a rotten car. It was solid as hell with the money I’ve got today I’ll have to spend £70,000 make it mint never mind it’s gone now. The only thing I have left of it is the original glass that goes over the bonnet and the crime surround and original steering wheel hanging up in the loft. I also have the original heritage certificate.
I will own another Etype one day 😂
being a car guy transcends all other traits that would normally be barriers. The 'I work on Wall Street' is a barrier that in any other situation would cause me to walk away, but I'd be able to talk to him about his models and his cool looking coupe
"...you know the car and the car knows you..." 😂
The arm rest and a roll bar......racing to it’s American best ;-)
Love that he gave it Herbie's number
Kenny, I also grew up outside of NYC and attended the 1961 auto show with my father. (BTW it was held at the NY Coliseum, not the Garden) I would pour over the brochures and event book for weeks and months afterwards picking out my favorites; always British and Italian. I just sold my most recent 911 C4S and bought/restored a 1969 Sprite. Nothing compares to 60s era British sports cars for personality! Cheers mate!
Nice video, it is nice to here an American say Jaguar properly.
The Jag in Silver Streak was one of my first car crushes.
So lucky my dad owned one big Fred from Jamaica
Wow Kenny sweet car. Nice job describing it and on the build. Enjoy!
Great colour choice. With love and restoration they are better than they were in the day.
what a beautiful car . no car can beat the beauty of this car and Ferrari F12
Baaaaauuuutttiiful.such classic lines, Gwendoline is banging hot!
One of the top 3 rolling pieces of art IMHO. The other 2 being the 63 split window and the GT40 MkII. All from the golden age and never to be repeated.
Nope, none of those are "art". The Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 250 SWB, Alfa-Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale and Ferrari 246 GTS ALL look better than your 3. No comparison.
@@hankwilliams5622That's your based opinion, not facts
Why did i turn its E type into a "race car" to drive it like my grand mother do? So much frustating
Fantastic car.
Loved the way this guy connects to his cars! This guy shares the same enthusiasm as mine. Wonderful story and wonderful eulogy this guy has expressed!
A wonderful story and beautifully told.
Tout a été dit et écrit sur la Type E, sublime voiture qui à marqué son siècle.
❤
@4:36 Calatrava cross. You know this gentleman has exquisite taste.
In other news,
I would LOVE to have my 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk featured on here, and there is a great story behind it (my being a teenager who got it as his first car), but I'm not sure if Petrolicious would go for it.
Then go to their web site and scroll down to "submit your story" .
@@eyerock1 Gotcha! Thank you very much.
Have you been on Scotty's site, green car?
ruclips.net/video/UKkxQNk6Vss/видео.html - you?
@@paulqueripel3493 Yup, that's me! How are you doing?
@@jakekaywell5972 fine thanks, you? And nice car.
Very nice, Kenny. This is so you.
Another awesome video! Thank you, Petrolicious! 👌
IM 😎
Mr. Lombino understands everything.
such a dream on wheels. nice video😀
love it got to work on a few of these ,ive a poor mans e-type and have the same passion as Kenny the car and i have that relationship you dont need a rev counter ,cos you both know how much and how far you can go ,thanks for a great episode ,best regards to Kenny and Gwendoline.Oh ps mines called Katie....
The N Y Auto show was held at the N Y Coliseum located at Columbus Circle during the time this owner refers to.
Great motor very nice story that you brought it home to the wonderful Silverstone classic event :)
This is my dream Jag.
Prettiest car ever made with the prettiest name ever
well done
First time I learned about bitcoin and casino coin. I was at classics on the green, and an E type had a Bitcoin and casino coin symbol on the side panel. When I asked what that was the owner laughed and said. You are the hundredth person to ask.....I bought this car with casino coin. Insured it with bitcoin
Great job and very nice car. I love E-Type
4:17 ...is that a Bentley key holder hanging from an E-Type key hole?
No, it's a Bentley knife....
Steel roll bar inches from the drivers skull. For safety sake, please add some padding to that bar. In a simple accident the driver could be killed by a head injury.
Another gloriously beautiful Petrolicious car-guy story. Thank you!
She’s beautiful!
From his appearance, this man cares far more about his car than he does about himself.
My all-time favorite car!
Yes to me the e type still the best .
I am from Malaysia.
I’m subscribed and have the bell on. Haven’t gotten a single notification in months. What the heck RUclips. This channel is great.
Seems like a bloody nice bloke and he can even say JAG YOU ARE, not JAG WAH as most Yanks do. Good that the chap had a goal from being 8 years old and achieved his goal. Hats off to you there old love. Shame he can't pronounce coupè haha.
Gorgeous car but take the 53 off. It's not Herbie.
Ikr? Putting stripes on an E-type is like putting a case on an iPhone. It destroys the lines.
It's also not a race car. He hasn't earned the meatballs, total poser.
@@JJZBULLITT109 And no governing body would allow that steering wheel!
it is also considered bad etiquette by any motorsport organisation to display race numbers on a car during road use. They should have black tape put across them or be removed
A real Jag-war type.
Chickens live in a coop! The Jaguar is a coupé.
Petrolicious, I get it, no one's perfect. There are gonna be lousy videos now and then. This was one of them. The guy's a joke.
Love the name!! Kenny, you and your car are awesome!!
From a Brit that owns a Corvette I'd like to say that you've made a fantastic job of improving an already beautiful car.✌👍
Exactly!
The auto show is at the Javits center, always has been. He quoted Enzo. Say no more.
As they say looks are subjective. I've never been a huge fan of the way the E-Type looks from some angles. While I do appreciate what it look like for the time it came out and the racing pedigree I just think the car is a little bit overhyped. Any of the Ferrari 250 models even though lusso or the 57 Testarossa appeal to me on a much higher level. I believe when it comes to bat shape Dotson got it right with the 240 again just my opinion congratulations on getting the car you wanted that is such a good feeling
I agree that from some angles, the E-Type isn't pretty. However in some respects, a woman's imperfections add to her beauty.
Typical British girls names?...he’s avving a giraffe ..
He's avving a laff. Should have called it Nigella
He's definitely having a bubble!
Love the e type with no bumperettes
Here! It looks very slim and smooth
great to see such passion
Wall street guy...are these worst than lawyers??
RIP Jerry Mouton
The car is cool. As for the rest of the video...I'll leave it at that.
E types r cool
My comment is "Kenny....No Strength, All Sweat"
I remember my father in 1973 having an early Series 1 roadster 3.8 with wire wheels in white,he sold it for a few hundred pounds.
Bizzarrini's .. yes he is a true petrol head
does every petrolhead have a story of when they were 2 years old and knowing which car they were definitely going to own?
When I was working my way thru college in the late 60's I used to pick up money tuning other college kids cars plus working two part time jobs. One of the cars I got to tune was an XKE Jag. To this day I do not know of a car that has the lines and beauty of an XKE. Even Enzo Ferrari has said that the XKE was, in his estimation, a design that will never be surpassed. I would agree and put only the Cobra on par with its' beauty. Nice to see the Weber DCOE carbs; I had a Cosworth Vega #54 with the Bendix fuel injection....a miserable set up...and I replaced it with a pair of 42 DCOE's.....until you experience the moan of Webers whacked open, you've never lived.
For me, it would have to be the 1953 Studebaker coupe (Champion/Commander). That was THE CAR that convinced the American public that tall, boxy, and laden with chrome wasn't necessarily the best way to make a car. It was the Forward Look four years before the fact and it STILL gets no respect. Studebakers in general seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of collector cars, but come on! I do agree that the E-Type is a pretty nice design as far as cars though.
@@jakekaywell5972 I'd forgotten about the Studebakers....My uncle had a Golden Hawk back in the day and I remember as a boy, thinking that I'd never seen anything so beautiful. Also, the Avanti, later on, had a mystique all of it's own and has really never been surpassed.....copied, yes. The dentist I went to in college had a supercharged Avanti that he gave me a ride in one the interstate....that made a lasting impression on me. I used to be driven to school in a Stude Champion....they were so innovative in their design parts, large and small. I wish Studebaker would have survived as their quality was exceptional......except for the cardboard/plastic cam gear that used to eat itself. A friend of mine droppen a 501 Caddy engine into an old Studebaker pickup...if it had wings it would fly...... To be honest, my old, black Cosworth Vega was a very beautiful car....especially when you wound it up and looked down that long hood....why did I sell?
@@tomnekuda3818 Ouch! I do hope you had fond memories with that Cosworth before you decided to sell it. It is also good that all those Studebaker memories were Stude-baked into your brain! In other news,
I would LOVE to have my 1962 GT Hawk featured on here, and there is a great story behind it (my being a teenager who got it as his first car), but I'm not sure if Petrolicious would go for it.
@@jakekaywell5972 Good luck to you. I won't even tell you about selling my RoadRunner (for a damn Nova) because I hate having tears on my keyboard. A fella has to work on stupid....it doesn't come naturally...
All I could think about was the flying B on his Jaguar keys. That and my E-Type airfix just isn't cutting it. Lovely car though.
Much better video when you mute the sound. 🙄
...and delete Mr. Smugg
Klasse Act you mean the passionate hard working enthusiastic successful chap, who can even pronounce Jaguar properly...I take it you jealous in your Ford Fiesta
@@alanwayte432 hey Anal, are we making this a rich vs. poor thing, great timing for this, good job Anal🛎
Legend has it the car won’t start if you’re not wearing driving gloves🧤.....must be an anti theft device
Great story until the Wall St part. Beautiful car though.
L'une des plus belles voitures de l'histoire si ce n'est la plus belle.. et ce 6 cylindres mon Dieu 🧡
Waooo sir u hav a car ...car which makes it mean its a car..
Yes ENZO Ferrari said it was best ever looking car ever made yes he was 100% right easily especially Series 1 absolutely the bollocks
When he says “we did this... we did that...” you know he had nothing to do with it aside from writing the check
The most beautiful car ever made, for me at least, would be the 1953 Studebaker coupe (Champion/Commander). That was THE CAR that convinced the American public that tall, boxy, and laden with chrome wasn't necessarily the best way to make a car. It was the Forward Look four years before the fact and it STILL gets no respect. Studebakers in general seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of collector cars, but come on! I do agree that the E-Type is a pretty nice design as far as cars though.
Fact check:
New York Auto Show in those days was at the NewYork Coliseum , not Madison Square Garden.
Great vid as always. I wish I could borrow your video guy for a day to shoot a car.
Im 12 and they look like planes or spaceships in real life.
molto bella, deve essere un vero piacere poterla guidare ogni giorno
