- Barn Find 1966 Jaguar Mark 2 3.4 Litre - Hidden For 45 Years
You know you have taken on a BIG project when even your 6 year old granddaughter says it’s a scrap... But even that didn’t stop Kevin Brown from bringing this Jaguar back from dead after it had sat in a barn for 45 years. And now he can’t get his granddaughter off the back seats of this beautiful classic!
Special Thanks to Kevin's good friend Ian Costello who helped with welding jobs required over 4 year restoration period and never charged a penny from Kevin.
Also big Thanks to Paul from Teesside Motor Factors who did an amazing engine rebuild for Jaguar Mk2 and provided superb customer service.
www.teessidemotorfactors.co.uk/
And finally Kevin would like to thank Kevin Emery from David Manners Birmingham who supplied all the technical help support and parts needed for restoration project. Kevin Emery went above and beyond when restoration project stumbled upon a problem and always found a solution. He is a star!

Kevin also would like to thank "Hand Built Cars" team for taking the time to come and see him and do a review on the car. When people take an interest in his project it makes the hard work over 4 years worthwhile for Kevin.

My grandad built this car up for me I'm so proud of him and I love him so much I'll be going to my prom in it I will never get rid of my car
Your grandad is a star. Tell him I said so
Lovely story. He did a fantastic job.
This is my grandad and I am so so proud of him. He works so hard. I love you grandad xxx
Its grandad I love you millions and I'm so proud of you to xx
The car is so beautiful, your grandad is even more beautiful.
What a lovely man. Also very clever. You must be very proud of him.
Good for you Molly. You look after him, won't you?
@@danniebrown6153 your so lucky 2 have such a lovely and very clever grandad. A special man.
Jaguars are perhaps the world's best designed cars of all times! Granted that the beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder and the rest of that and all depends of a perspective but I hardly believe that in today's world, driven by bottom line and quotas we will ever see more of beautiful "rolling Art" created such as this, probably one of most stunningly designed examples of Jaguar, seconded only by E-Type, SS-100, XJ-8 (2003-2009 and the best car ever made) to name a few! My compliments to those, like Gentleman featured in short film (there are really TWO heroes and veterans), who take time to save those classic cars and give them a deserving second life! Simply wonderful! Thank you for all your hard work - the Jag and the Man!
that was quite a statement to make maurico but you are right there are some really beautiful looking classic cars from the bygone era but jaguars are defenatly in the top spot with them i do ownanother jag its a 2000 xkr conv its very fast but i have to addmit i love driving the mk2 more thanks for your kind comments
Your hard work stands as a statement, to your love and pride of the iconic classic Jaguar.👍
thanks graham for your kind comments
Its guys like this guy that puts the great in GREAT BRITAIN a first class job..
I totally agree, as a Kiwi and a Car Fanatic I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Great Britain.
My Dads Great Grandfather came out to New Zealand in the 1850's, I'm 65 and now live in Canada.
What a fabulous rebuild, the colour is stunning, awesome.👍🇳🇿🇨🇦
@@murrayashworth78 than you
thank you for your kind comment jd

It is indeed marvellous what Williams wax will do
I have seen a lot of these cars and always loved them this is the best example I have ever seen fantastic work sir .Your granddaughter is very rightly proud of you
thanks for your kind comments simon your comment on being the best one you have ever seen is appreciated i wish hand built cars had shown what the car is like underneath as its the same as above you could eat your dinner of it but thanks again fo your kind comment

Amazing that he didn't have to overbore. What a beauty!
thanks for your comments matey i was lucky the pots just required honeing it is all standerd the head,block,gearbox and body shell numbers all match and the DVLA have put on log book no previous owners registeredto me in 1966 thats why i t took me 4 yrs and made no modern up grades its as it should have been wholled of the assembly line 54 yrs ago thanks again growth curve marketing
She's beauty, a really nice restoration. Was driving mine today, got it from original owner 43 years ago.
thanks graeme i have a 2000 xkr supercharged convertiable its fast but not as comfy to drive as this car i love it
Wonderful British motoring heritage, a work of art on wheels.
Much credit to you for saving part of our motoring heritage.
Long gone are British cars with very rare exceptions
thanks mark for your kind comments
Love the video I am currently restoring a 1964 MKII 3.8 MOD with overdrive and wire wheels, I love this car but unlike you I have been restoring it for 32 years, getting married and divorced plus moving house and countries more times than I care to remember and jumping back and forth between restore and or get running took its toll, now I am retired I am working on it most of the time.
sorry to hear about your past problems and past hick ups stick at it friend you will get there in the end and be proud of yourself good luck i hope to see the finished project thanks for your kind comments on my project
@@kevinbrown6240 I just watched this again, such a beauty, you 'may' be interested in my You Tube channel JAGVETTE1, but be warned I use profanity a lot :)
This is so pleasantly to watch.
Makes me believe in humanity again.
The Mark2 is such a beauty!
I would love to own one.
knut theres one on my drive they are alovely looking car if their restored properly and mint to drive i almost trebled my investment on mine so i would recomend it to anyone you dot know what you can achieve till you have ago an thanks for the kind comment
Kevin Brown I drive what you probably will call a "quasi jag" , S-type from 2005, wonderful to drive and nice to look at, but not like a Mark 2.
Well I'm getting too old for cars now, but I just wanted you to know it is a pure joy to watch your car, and what you have done with it is so heartwarming to see.
Really hope that GB now post Brexit, will start making wonderful cars again.
Just a little comment from Norway.
Take care.
@@knutknutsen5610 knut i could not agree more and thier is nothing wrong with a s.type and your definatley never to old im 68 but when i go out in the summer with the roof down on my 19 yr old xkr it makes the lady,s look at me ha ha i always drive it slowly thanks for all your kind comments
Living nostalgia. Utterly beautiful.
Geffo they dont make them like this anymore thanks for your kind comment
Brilliant. Enough to make anyone smile. A work of art. When the younger generation question our past - just show them this...
the younger generation have no idea david just how good the sixty,s really were the cars from the forties through to the early seventys were to me works of art they dont make them like that anymore and i can say that i did my bit to let people of the future just what they missed out on thank for your kind comment
Totally amazing restoration and the red paintwork is just so spot on, one of the very best I've ever seen well done mate.
thanks peter its nice to get comments like yours showing that my hard work is appreciated thanks again
Gorgeous; what a fantastic job you've done; my dad loved the Mk II - he had two after originally buying a red Mk I.... he'd have loved to see this one. He also thought the 3.4 was a nicer engine than the more desirable and popular 3.8. This is superb; the Mk II looks brilliant from every angle. Nice one.
thanks lenny for the kind comments i hope i get the same ammount of pleasure as your father did this is the first mk2 i have ever owned iv had loads of jags i wish i had bought one yars ago i have another mk2 on my drive as seen in the video it was complete when i got it but when you strip a car for restoration remembering where everything went back down to the last bolt i had to strip it as a reference i am tempted but the puestion is have i got 4 yrs left in me thanks again for the kind comments
Kevin Brown Hi Kevin - my comments were sincere, born of a mixture of amazement and admiration at your achievement! I’m sure the knowledge you gleaned from doing this one will stand you in good stead if you attempt your other one, and the project will probably go a little more quickly. Whatever you decide, this one is a fine legacy for Molly.
@@LennyJohnson5 thanks lenny she does love it but your a top guy take care and thanks for your sincere comments
Your grandad did an Amazing work to brink a very poor Jaguar back to life. Stunning
thanks john the finished job made it all worthwhile
What an absolutely Stunning car,beautiful,a class car that would outdo any new car nowadays,well done fella,fantastic job
barry thank you for your kind comments on my restoration they dont build cars with style like they use to and now it will see the road for another 50 yrs
I didn't want this video to end.

Excellent job .better than a factory job .
thats a nice comment to make phillip and much appreciated its comments like yours made all the hard work worthwhile thank you
Nice video! What RUclips should be proud of.
Thanks texts stay safe pal
I now see why some people love their cars!
thanks steve cars such as these need saving so the younger generation will see what a proper car was like
It's not just the car this man is the backbone of Britain 👍
thanks steve for your kind comment it is the best part of a restoration when people like yourself appreciate what i have achieved and i know my granddaughter will cherish it
wow Kevin a real beauty indeed, i love your video, after owning a completely restored MK2 3.8 in seafrost, it was stolen in Holland from a public carpark last year, one cannot be careful enough as not to leave out of sight while on tours. again enjoy this british work of art my friend.
sorry to hear that keiran i bet you were gutted after all the work you must have put into it i know i would be i have put a hiden cut off switch on her thanks for your kind comments aswell
Morning Kevin. Thanks for replying back to my comment. don't know if you know my pal. Brian Hume. he has two jags. He does jags up as well.he is in the jaguar owners club.he comes from fife in Scotland. Still cant believe the condition. its fantastic. Phil
hi phill i hav not the please of meeting your friend in fife i have joined
the jaguar drivers club but only 6 months ago i thank you taking the time to respond to my achievment the least i can do is thank you phill for your kind comments best wishes to you and brian
What a beautiful, beautiful car. What you have done is fantastic homage to Jaguar.The era your car came from was one when Jaguars looked like they were doing 150 even when they were stood still. Well done to you and all those involved in the restoration.
thanks jim for your kind comments i got hooked on jags as far back as 1975 ive had series 1,2,3s they had more switches than a plane they were all second hand and i bought and sold them and worked my way up till i got an xkr convertible in 2001 it was only 1 yr old very fast and its 20 yr old with 92,000 on the clock and in mint condition
That's a lovely MK2 Jag ....well done to you sir
thanks for your kind comments birol ive been called quite a few things in my life sir was never one of them theres hope for me yet happy days thanks
Doesn't get much better. Congratulations on some outstanding work.
thanks matt for your kind comment ,comments such as yours made my 4yrs hard work worthwhile thank you
Kevin, I had tears in my eyes. Brought back so many memories of my uncle's Jag. He lived just round the corner from us, and I would sometimes just sneak into his garage and sit in that beautiful car when I was a kid in the 60's.
And the work you put in on that car.. Mate. I've restored a few bikes, but nothing on that scale. All the best
@@moosey62 hi matt the classic cars will never be forgotten matt the younger generation will never understand you can sit in a classic car and the smell of the proper leather not plastic and the horse hair filler in the seats those smells never leave the cars ive never owned a motor bike i had a lamberreta li 150 in 1971 came of and it scared the life out of me i do have a friend who has restored a bikes and he sells through mathews auctions at thorton le dale they have a progam on th telly called Bangers And Cash they sell all kins of classic memrobillia for cars and bikes im glad you enjoyed the video thats what there concept is for to bring back happy memories but my production is all down to Hand BuiltCars if it wasen,t for them my restoration would never been seen by so many so thank you again and i hope they were tears joy kev
Rock on mate xx
Time for you to do a bike project. Cars are just too much work.
His welder did all the metal welds " as a friend " The greatest social vehicle, is an old car. Strangers will talk together about old cars
You are one lucky lady. Congratulations to your Granddad. He must love you very much. I wish he was my Granddad. I am very very envious.
My Grandfather had this model in the late 1960s. A very beautiful car it was.
Still one of the best looking sedans even after all these years.
thanks max for your kind comments i love all jags
Kevin Brown Kevin, where I live here in a little university hick town of Princeton, people think they have ‘arrived’ (meaning they are now high society & better than everyone else) they buy Porsche/BMW/Benz/Ferrari/Audi to show off their new found status. All the while there is no love for the auto but to just say.....look at me.
I am still in love with the Jag you have.
@@maxwellbricks7202 i did not do it for money max i just needed something to do so i in my retirement i got her appraised and it was double what i put into the restoration but i know my granddaughter will appreciate the car and remember me when ever she her once again thanks
@@kevinbrown6240 X 2 wot Kevin said. I just LOVE this mark.
The MkII is great from every angle; an absolute triumph of design.
Thank you one and all for this magnificent video.
Thanks for your kind comments star boy stay safe kev
Your some man...I stand in awe of you as much as your car, may you enjoy it for many years...to come
thanks john im just an ordinary guy when you get to my age you have to keep moving or you sieze up and loose your memory but my granddaughter will benifit in the future thanks for the kind comment as well
Bloody well done old Bean excellent excellent job
thanks alec for your kind comments
I got the same one,with auto transmission got 2 first prices at British Classic Cars show,2001 and 2003. Now my mechanic is restoring the engine completely. It’s a CA car,found in a barn in 1987 in Studio City. Totally restored in 1988 89 by the 3 Mouquetaires : Charly, Motty ang Knoky. My friend Charly is still living in CA. Now,my new mechanic is in Palm Beach county where my MK 2 is being worked on.It’s a beauty.
What a remarkable restoration... What a beautiful Jaguar! ... Thank you.
thanks jay for your kind comment
Superb from a time of Elegance !
thanks for your kind comment larry
A labour of love, My hat's off to you Dan... Well done sir.
no thank you sir your kind comment was appreciated
Possibly the most beautiful car I have ever seen. You have done an amazing job with her restoration. Just fabulous! 😁
thanks maty i cant call you by your post name as i feel that would be disrespectful of me but i do appreciate your kind comments
Good on you Molly. Iam sure your grandad was thinking about you every time he turned a spanner on it. (Great job grandad.) He has done a truly wonderful thing to bring this beautiful old cat back to life. Enjoy! ^^ Austraia
Thanks matey for your kind comments stay safe from kev
this tribute is for H,B,Cars i met the young man at the Swainby car show last summer when he was praising the restoration on my mk2 jaguar he asked if he could do a video story on my car i gave him my tel no and parted i did not expect to hear from him again as he lived some 150 mile from me some months passed and and he called me he arranged to come an see me it was a glorious day and arrived at 9am having been on the road since 6am thats dedication he was there all day and had a 3 hour drive home at no cost to me for a young man with so much passion for cars of all types is something else the video is 15 mins long it took him over two months to edit ad compile it into the finished video that was first aired on the 10 jan 2020 since then over 47,000 peole have viewed my restoration story i went to 4 car shows last year and about 10,000 people at most veiwed my car butin just 4 weeks due to H,B, Cars quality production more people have had a chance to see it and there has been a lot of kind commets and i i appreciate everyone of them know my other reason for writting this is the struggle H,B,Cars is having trying to get monetrised by youtube i do not understand the meaning of any of this but i want people to subscibe to this channel i thought subsribe meant i had to pay till my daughter explained it cost nothing i offered H,B,Cars some money to cover there expenses once i had viewed the video and the young man refused to take it he must have a real passio in what he does and the quality of his work thank you H,B,Cars i really do appreciate putting my story out there for everyone to see please support H,B,Cars this includes :YOU: youtube
Take my hat off to you mate,my first car was a carmen red with a black interior 3.4. Still drive a Jag today.
First class restoration ....well done enjoy.
i have owned a lot of jags over the years john most of them second hand i was never fortunate to own a mk2 up untill now i wish i had as they are apleasure to drive i have a 2000 xkr 4 litre supercharged convertible ive owned since 2002 that is also immaculate with 92.000 on the clock i hope one day that becomes a classic as its 20 yrs old now but it can still still push you back in your seat if you kick it down
Brilliant video. Interesting that like many restorations this is better than new. I had Jags of this era from new, although never a Mark 2. I only remember seeing one Jag in this colour back in the day, and you seldom saw wire wheels, especially chrome wires, which were hugely expensive. Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be!
Thanks alex
That car is gorgeous! Well done you! And all the people who mucked in! When we had the oil crisis many years ago, we had a 3.8 in British Racing Green that had been raced at Oulton Park, and yes, it would do 150 mph! As you watched the fuel gauge go down rather rapidly! My dad only tried it once! At the same time, we had a 420G, a Mk10 and another 3.4 in Pearl Grey! I think we paid no more than £200 for any of them! People were giving them away or scrapping them! Sad! Hindsight eh! Ah well! Congratulations on your restore!
TheSixfinger1 you’re right I ran my 1964 mark 2 2.4 litre automatic on unleaded and it was fine
in 1977 for 700 pounds it belonged to chivas regal and had only done 43 thousand miles on the clock unfortunately a french Lorry driver ran me off the road and wrote it of now you can’t buy them for under 40 grand for a restored one TheSixfinger1 I bought my mark 2
The Sixfinger me and my pal ian thank you for your kind comment on my restoration i dont think i will be putting her on a race track matey im only on a State Pension and could not afford the petrol sorry i have not replied to your comment when you posted it and i do appologise im old school if people can take time out to comment on my achievement it is only courtious to reply so thanks
CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND. JAGUAR MARK II MY FAVORITE CAR EVER !
thanks victor its also mine now ive got a xkr convetible but when i drive her on the open road its a diffrent experience like no other thanks again
My first Jaguar was a Mk2 3.8. I’m now on number 10, a lovely x100 XKR. Be warned, Jaguars are addictive, !
micheal i luv jags just as much especially the design of some of the older ones like you i have a xkr covertible 2000 year and ive had it since 2002 and its still a flying machine but i prefer to drive the mk2 thanks foryour comment
What a beautiful machine in a beautiful colour. I had a mark 1 back in the 1960's.Indigo blue 1956 model Reg number TGH 175 saw it in the local scrap yard a few years later.
thanks blackvulcan for taking the time post your kind comments i bet you wish you still had them dont you thanks again and appreciated
@@kevinbrown6240Just a few of my car history, first car 1937 Morris 8 tourer the rarer extended four seater, 1939 MG TA, 1960 mini, 1956 TR 2 then another three minis, I could change a rear sub frame in a weekend.A 1966 Triumph Spitefire in exceptional condition, then many other cars to many to mention. The one I miss and wish I had kept..The 39 MG TA in BRG. Just to mention my uncle had a £.4.3 ? Jag mrk 2 he had a sticker that said "do not open the Window with speeds above 130 mph,I thought he was serious LOL !!
Incredible job, well done.

thanks bib its comments like yours which make meproud of what i have achieved thank you
Only needs 2 words, Bloody Amazing
thanks gary your kind comment is appreciated
This beautiful car would have been first registered in Ayrshire, Scotland. I was born in Ayrshire, my uncle used to have a mk 2 and used to take me for a run in the Jag when I was young.
you are right alistair the car was registered in ayr but the dvla could not find out who to she might have been owned by your family you never know but on the log book it states that it has had previous owners and was registerd to me in 1966 thanks for your kind comments
@@kevinbrown6240 I remember the registration of my Uncle's Jag, it was OSM930, it was a light metallic blue. It was a Dumfries reg number. I loved going in it, it was luxury as we had a Ford Anglia, what a difference. Rubber mats on the floor, not carpet.
@@alistairshaw3206 allistair back in 1973 i owned a torquiose anglia it had a metal dash board no wood in and i think it was a ex police car but classic fords have shot up in price i wish i still had even if it was all metal and plastic inside it had two sexy back wings ha ha nice speaking to thanks
Fantastic restoration 👍👍 definitely smiles per mile.
Thanks slim stay safe
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L WORK OF ROLLING ART. THEY DON,T MAKE THEM LIKE THESE ANYMORE AND THATS A SHAME 🇺🇸🇬🇧 !!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SIR , BEAUTIFUL 🤩 CAR !!!!!!!!!
Mine was a 3.8 212 horse power. A B reg UBO 65B. You have done a good job on the engine for sure. I burned up a Mercedes in a race on the M6 I topped 134 mph. If you ever have a flat battery as I did many a time, just open the drivers door and push it along then jump in and quickly put it into 2nd gear release the clutch and she will start up right away.
expat have you still got it? i appreciate your advice on how to bump these jags of but my days of pushing cars of are over at my age and they way a ton i think ill call the AA if i have to thanks for your kind comments
Kevin Brown when I had mine mate money was scarce we didn’t have the cash to buy new batteries. It was always charge it up with small cheap chargers. That’s how I ended up so many times with a flat battery. Sold mine years ago when the price of petrol rocketed . Fantastic car mate. I pig of a job to change the starter motor though. Yes me and my mates raced a Mercedes, we were neck and neck at 130 mph, I put my foot to the floor, we went to 134 mph, left the Mercedes and when he was about 50 yards behind us he suddenly belched out loads of smoke. Burned up.
@@expattaffy1954 i put all the ancilaries onto the engin taffy before i droped the engin and box in and i appreciate your comments
Kevin Brown yes I sold mine very cheap when the price of petrol doubled. Worst thing I could have done, they are now worth a lot of money aren’t they.
@@kevinbrown6240 I know the price of them rocketed. How much is yours worth now?
thanks for your answer. I live in México
thats a good distance from stockton on tees in the north east of england are there many jag mk2 over in mexico
An almost perfect design and still a thing of beauty
thanks dai

First class job with the Jag and also with the video 👍 Bravo 👏🏻
i appreciate your kind comments cgris but the credit for the superb video is down to the hard work and effort of "H,B,C without them no one would have seen my restoration unless they went to a car show i was at
Love british cars, especially jaguar, and that particular sedan. Brilliant story of the.beautiful restoration. The everyday man, british style and engineering are a tribute to british culture.
I'll bet you sixpence she does a nice burnout when nobody's looking.
thanks for takingthe time brian to post your kind comments on my restoration i know she has some brum brum power now the engine has been rebuilt i will be giving her the respect an old girl deserves i just love it when i take her out it gets a lot of attention thankts again
I had a 3.4 Mk2 S which I took with me to USA. Cost a fortune to keep her in top condition. New York roads/potholes destroyed wire wheels/suspension and the winters were a fight against Lucas electrics.. Parked her in Tribecca neighborhood one night and when returned next morning was gone. Police searched for long time but was never found.
sorry to hear that jordan are you still in the states ive put a hidden cut off switch on her the garage is alarmed and i can see her on a moniter in my living room but i would be devastated if someone stole her as i put 4 yrs of my life to get her looking like that but thanks for your kind commets

Quality work man ✌️
Chris use to talk about you rebuilding this jag at work I’m glad iv seen it now
cheers itoon it was hard work but well worth it in the end thanks for the kind comment
the single most important component to replace in an old engine is the "valve springs"... along with valves, especially exhaust valves...

One of them was the same colour but not in your cars league well done to you. There was one in the film get carter brings back great memories when Britain was great where did our motor industry go. Breaks my heart

Beautiful ol Jag around when that automobile was first made Jaguar knew how to build cars.
Except that they rotted out in no time, shame really and the 3.8 was heavy on fuel !

Tell me about it, I spent many hours as a panel beater welding these Mk 2’s that were infested with the rust worm back in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s. Lead loading the pillars, front wing panel joints etc. Nice to see a well restored example that if treated with respect will last & give enormous pleasure. Well done sir 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@geofo60 geofo60 i did not know when i started the restoration that the joints on the wings , pillars and most seams where lead filled and i removed it all and you are right it was a pain when welding thanks for your kind comments matey
