@@WillBinge funny you should say that because the world over people think the brits are stiffs, i reckon there are self-ironic people and there are touchy people, regardless of nationality
Yes, they are funny, charming, and humble. Paying attention Clarkson? They also didn't steal one of Peter Sellers classic jokes, "May I have your hat, etc..."
no Will Brown the car is a not usable thanks to Hammond bringing it to France on a Holiday before they started on the mechanical parts. (to those reading if you get the reference well done)
DRIVETRIBE! Those 2 mechanics have quite a nice chemistry on the camera. lovely bit of banter for the entertainment, but certainly knowledgeable in cars. Sort of like budget Edd Chinas in a way. PLEASE hire those guys directly and have them working on channel projects like the Mondeo. Get them involved for sure!
@@anthonygreenhouse5274 Just watched the whole RH's Workshop series as it came available on the Finnish National Broadcast company's (Finnish equivalent of BBC) streaming service. Brilliant stuff! It made me come around and look for the original videos that you guys were on and it's really brilliant! You and your dad are natural in front of the camera! If you hadn't gotten a tv show, I'd hope you would at least made your own youtube channel! All the best to you, your dad and your uncle, and your little teamaker Richie, can't wait to see more of your work!
I liked it better when it was LeBlanc, Harris, and Rory. The new guy that played cricket, I think, seems to have zero mechanical sympathy. And the other guy is just some guy. Anyone know why they axed LeBlanc? Did he want too much money? Or were the Brits not happy an American took over and was more charming that Clarkson?
The problem Richard has is that he has the enthusiasm of a giant but it's crammed into a tiny body. He's like a hair trigger, the slightest provocation and the enthusiasm explodes.
that Jag is a thing of beauty,Mr Hammond you live an extraordinary life and thank you for sharing your passion of classics with us!can't wait to see this and your others up and running!
Nice to get an update. Was thinking about this after watching the Great Escapist. Wish there was more mechanical content about the work involved though.
True craftsmanship is as rare as hens teeth. I would love to be a fly on the wall and just absorb the knowledge by watching masters at work. In a disposable world, this makes me very happy.
My BFFs Brother rebuilt a crashed XK140 and was interviewed by the British Welding Research Association for his first job. The interview took place outside beside his rebuilt car. Result - Bevan Braithwaite became the CEO of the The Welding Institute as it was renamed and advised on all aspects of metal construction - Globally - throughout his career.
Truly incredible work, skill and knowledge going into this one of a kind build. I must say, my eyes got a little teary seeing it so beautiful! Hats off to you all for preserving such a car!
Fabulous looking car... Ah well, another lesson learned Richard. (I'm with you mate, milk in first). It was lovely getting to see the guys behind the restoration and the banter was great.
@@G58 nah if you watch his interviews he is super humble, especially compared to may, clarkson and other celebrities. Just watch him trying to roast youtubers cars for proof
Older cars are just so much more interesting and fun to drive and own. The feel of it, the smells, the way they drive is something you just cannot replicate in any modern day car. I bet it's amazing to cruise around in this jag. The history of this car just makes it all the more special.
One thing I appreciate about Richard. He doesn’t mind poking fun at himself. I do feel the pain of doing things backwards, but with the chassis being done right now, it should be a fantastic driver when done. 👍👍
Beautiful car, Richard. My college roomie had one of these and 120 but they were no where near as nice as this car. He had a gull wing too. This is a wonderful restoration. Thank you and I did watch all of the Escapists series. I'm slowly recovering from the experience.
Whoa hold up, 3 months broom labour minimum before you achieve teaboy status, Richard you can't jump the chain of succession like that, because the wrong biscuits is a criminal offence and you should know this Keep safe DT 🤘
doing a 58 xk150 frame up restoration here in the U.S. with my pops, parts are VERY hard to find, and this one was in a front end collision, engine is off to the machine shop, body has been media blasted
Richard That’s beautiful. You ether get these old cars or you don’t. I do and I love them. They take you back to better times. The smell the feel the sound. New cars are appliances classic cars are time machines. Well done you. Well I mean them.
What a beautiful car, my only criticism would be those awful modern speakers on show, I’d have hidden them better, but that’s just my opinion. One amazing car and thank you for uploading this update
Richard.__ PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE videos on drivetribe. Doesn't matter what just point a camera and talk bollox. James is doing a sterling job, Jeremy is letting us down, I've worshiped Jezza for 30 years, I't really sad we dont see much of him nowadays. Would love to see more of all 3 of you. I know working together ain't easy right now, but if the 3of you got on a zoom call for an hour, MILLIONS of us would watch. Ps. If you were to go and collaborate with people like Harry Metcalf, Smith & Sniff , CarThrottle that would be fun for you and great viewing for us, as you like bikes too, maybe you'd get along with the 44teeth boys. Anyway Richard, I'm sure you get the point, theres literally millions of us out here just dying to see you make more videos.
Quintessential English and distinguished all you need to go with it is a Billycock/Bowler and waistcoat Richard. It's a stunner, so well done ol' chap.
Absolutely brilliant! Those 2 should have their own show haha. Side note, there are few things in the automotive world that get me more excited than a louvered XK bonnet with a leather strap... mmm
I'll always appreciate Richard's willingness to poke fun at himself.
I find that with Clarkson as well (not so much May). They (i.e. Clarkson and Hammond) are both completely willing to make themselves look like total morons just to get a laugh.
It’s the British way.
That’s his act.
@@WillBinge that it is

"Few little whines. Not just from Richard...." Bruh 🤣
Now that's a customer who pays up front
Legend
@C. Fecteau-AU-MJ13 yes
Those two are about as classic as the car 🤣
“bruh”? .... What does that even mean? I’m only just getting used to “lol”. This is about a Jaguar dear boy. A little decorum please.
All credit to Hammond for genuinely promoting the guys who HAVE done ALL of the real work.
your spot on this was as much a showcase of this shops work as it is an update on the car.
Those two need a show of their own
They could even get Clarkson doing hard labor without a complaint.
@@TheDemocrab thats easy, give him hammer!
Yes, they are funny, charming, and humble. Paying attention Clarkson? They also didn't steal one of Peter Sellers classic jokes, "May I have your hat, etc..."

Give the bloq a try ! Ha hahhh
Awfully sorry, would you mind settling this while I go and warm up the JAAAAG.
😂🤣
Me when I walk into a fuel station
In this weather, it needs lots of warming.
"I'd love to buy you all a drink, but I've misplaced my wallet. I'm in the Jaggggggggggggg!"
Love ya work
Does that mean he's not coming on then?
😂🤣😂🤣
no Will Brown the car is a not usable thanks to Hammond bringing it to France on a Holiday before they started on the mechanical parts. (to those reading if you get the reference well done)
This line is a lot funnier in comment sections than it was in the show...
No james hes not
"No James, the entire chasis needs to be rebuild so he is not coming on"
Richard Hammond is taller than someone?
Seriously though what a beautiful restoration and what a car
I agree, its stunning.
That was body and paint NOW they're doing the restoration.
Camera angles
I'm taller than Richard and I'm a woman
*_It's Okay, because He's got a JAAAAAG_*
"I'm terribly sorry, I'm afraid I've left my wallet. Could you settle up while I run and warm up the Jaaaaag?"

So...anyways
😂
Five minutes of Hammond moaning about his Jag is more entertaining than an entire series of Top Gear without him.
🤨 stuck in the past I see
Hundred times better than topgearusa
I liked it better when it was LeBlanc, Harris, and Rory. The new guy that played cricket, I think, seems to have zero mechanical sympathy. And the other guy is just some guy.

@@craigbrown9574 Hammond's Jaguar is more than half a century old.
Some older things are worth keeping.
Some new things are not.
Top Gear will never be the same.
Richard gave them the stage and played the foil perfectly. You two are comedy gold!
2:39 few little whines... not just from Richard - 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can always count on a mechanic to humble someone ahah
I had chills seeing that beautiful interior
It is one beautiful car.
😂
Me tooooo, so gorgeous
I can never get bored of listening to Richard Hammond 🙌
The problem Richard has is that he has the enthusiasm of a giant but it's crammed into a tiny body. He's like a hair trigger, the slightest provocation and the enthusiasm explodes.
That's what she said
That’s one way to describe the tw@@@t. Another is to point out that he’s not even a real hamster
@@G58 It's one @ not three
Those two guys should have their own show. They are way funny!
Hammond didn't put the engine in right because he was trading shots with James
Something wrong when the dog doesn't even hang around to beg for a cookie
Where's all the dogs there's normally more than one?
*biscuit
I was like thats a big rat!
Biscuits bro
Dog doesn't like custard creams either !
I can’t believe this mechanic/restorer is actually smaller than Hammond.
must be useful for his job!
He lives inside Oliver's boot
Hammond is short but he aint super short, he's only 5'7 not 5'2 like Kevin Hart or Katt Williams
@@ededdneddy988 Yeah, he only appears ridiculously short next to May and Clarkson.
@@ededdneddy988 I'm more of the generation Richard Dreyfuss / Danny Devito .
I would like to see Jeremy in next DriveTribe video
I agree. We haven't heard from him much lately.
@@MausOfTheHouse i mean he exploded in the great escapists
follow diddly squat farm on instagram, that's where you'll find him
@@T1000AX Tru dat
@@Slimboy025 That's hardly anything new for him. His lungs have a history of combusting.
That is a beautiful car. Totally understand why he’s eager to get it on the road. Lovely restoration work.
I am looking forward to seeing that car finished.
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "he's got a jaaag"
That looks markedly better than pics you find online of other XK150s. These gentlemen should be proud of their work.
Those two are a comedy double act! Love the random dog leaving the building😁
That dog in the end. So awesome.

You could say that “that’s not gone well”
Back after Hammond's show.
What a journey you 3.. ❤️

Richard is such a kind guy, I can't imagine anyone else with his influence letting someone publicly humiliate them like that
If you can't laugh at yourself, you've got no right laughing at anyone else.
That’s his act. He plays the jester. Always has. There’s nothing real about TV characters.

Those XK six potters on twin carbs sound glorious on the overrun. All crackle and pop. Great stuff when its done.
Beautiful English Engineering. Something really special to drive and own!
What an absolutely gorgeous car! I hope he shows it off to us when it's all finished.
Lovely car Richard..I bet that car is a smart investment. One of our clients has a XK 140 roadster fully rebuilt, always puts a smile on your face..

It’s okay sir, no need to pay :D
A fat Amazon wallet would be fun! What do you want to drive today? Take your pick!
That looks like the most British garage I have ever seen
We all learn the hard way, must do the basics before beauty. Looking forward to the reveal!
That car is beautiful! I can't wait till it's finished!
Richard always puts a smile on my face.
that people making the classic car, it will be give award , and this car conpletely spectacular💕
I got flashbacks to the show whose Title Must Not Be Spoken. Well done. Very entertaining.
I love the work the gentlemen are doing pure class
In my experience the customer is seldom right, but letting him think he is pays the bills
They've done a wonderful job so far. That Jag is going to be a real beauty
Love the enthusiasm, great video, love the two guys restoring the car 🚗
those two are brilliant!
That exterior and interior does look amazing.

This segment is even better than a full episode of top gear lol brilliant work fellas
What a stunning car! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I love those guys! Car looks amazing, as well.
It's fine, the quicker it's done the sooner he'll crash it.
Don’t be ridiculous
One of the prettiest cars ever made
Those 2 should have their own drivetribe segment!
Get it done right, it will be great.
Looks really nice already
It will be spectacular when it’s finished

Thats such a gorgeous car. Cant wait to see it on the road.
Oh my goodness this is brilliant. Wonderful chaps!
This is actually pretty interesting
That was some excellent acting from the lads! :D
Anyone else who can hear Jeremy screaming? *"HAMMOOOOND!!"* 😂
Milk in last. Boiling water straight from the kettle will sour the milk. Plus a teabag in just water seems to release more of the tea flavour.
What an utterly beautiful car
Fantastic to see the old girl
