Why? The sunroof is bound to leak and wasn't stock from the factory, cuttin it into the roof of that car lowered its value significantly...and an auto trans really saps the motor of any real power, plus it's not worth as much as a stick shift....
When I saw this series for the first time I was shocked whenever Bernie began his swearing, and yelling. Now I know its his brand. His act for this program. And Mario is the quiet one. Anyways, they deliver nice products at the end.
@@thedaily30 Agree, and all so unnecessary. Just show us the cars being restored, no need for all this fake drama. It is very tiring how US producers demand the silly, infantile personality in all these types of shows, it spoils them so, so much. As does this rubbish about 'they must finish it within hours...or else!' Or else what, they do as we all do and phone the appraiser to re-arrange a new time?
Why oh WHY did they not jump on the very first E-type??? An E-type with a rust-free body is not to be taken for granted; in fact, it is the most important buying point. "It could be hiding lots of problems" while that is certainly no lie, it's also going to be true for every car they'll come across. When doing a resto on an E-type there are no bargains! When the choice is tidying up a basically sound chassis and changing a bunch of parts on car #1, Vs. doing all that PLUS rust repair, PLUS undoing the roof chop-job, I know what I'd choose. All the rest of it is just a pile of easily replaced parts. So why not eliminate a whole b unch of additional head-aches by spending the extra pounds on the first car? Its the chassis that needs to be rock-solid, and that was surely worth 14.500 pounds!
Marlo doesn't seem to be too helpful. Bernie has to do all of the heavy lifting. Marlo overfills the carburetor damper and backs in to an engine sitting on the floor. Yikes. I really can't see how 10K covers the cost of the "restoration". Either the mechanics work for peanuts or something is amiss. I pity the person who buys this car based upon the excellent paint job. There is a tremendous amount of work that still needs to be done, such as rebuilding the master and slave cylinders, replacing ball joints, tie rods, and bushings; changing all of the fluids, replacing the rear calipers, flushing the engine, changing the water hoses, etc. Using used parts for a restoration is mind-boggling. The most expensive XKE can be a fifty year old vehicle that has not been completely overhauled.
Odds are the 14K e-type was really for sale for 25K or was just an e-type someone allowed them to film with no intention of selling it. There's a whole lot of staging on any of these shows.
@@kyleboatright7403 I believe it was staged as well, I wouldn't waste my money on that idiotic series 3 e type with the back light underneath the bumper which ruined the entire design.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. Called "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" in German.... :-/((
Restoration in 4 weeks and not touching the motor. Proper east end wide boy job. An E type deserves a nut and bolt. In one scene Bernie is testing a car for filler and in the resto they are adding loads. No thanks chaps, do it properly or not at all. Yes spotted the new break discs so what else has been fudged?
@@Carrera-gp9odcosts about 120k-150k to fully buy and bolt rotisserie and series 1 e type .. trim alone costs 12 grand .. I know it’s a 2 plus 2 series 2 but still same amount of work . They’ve just tarted it up
They didn’t even take the axel out .. all it was was a repaint and weld up a whole with some cheap vinyl re trim . Didn’t take the engine out , paint the frames or cad plate the wishbones nothing
Buying an E type for less than 10 grand GOOD LUCK . For that money it would be a rust bucket and in bits They could have bought the first car £ 14000 is a bargin .They would have made more money without the aftermarket sunroof
I stopped watching the second he backed into the engine lying on the ground. Manufactured drama is the worst. There is zero chance that actually happened.
Is a joke 2 days for that little work. I would not let those mechanics change the tyres in any cars, this mechanic they are good only for the scrap yard 😉
Finally, I can watch a bunch of episodes without them being cropped, slowed down, and under new names. Thanks, Automotive Channel
!
Now Automotive Central
Alfa Romero? Yea this guy knows cars!
To say that Bernie doesn't handle stress very well is one big understatement.
These 2 guys crack me up, but their work is amazing. All vehicles turned out great!
Yea they are great at delegating work to people who actually know what they are doing
@Scrapla1 that’s what bosses are for delegating the work maybe get a job and you will realize that 🤦♂️ work doesn’t get done on it own 👍
Such a classic design, my old man never got over selling his convertible E-Type.
They are beautiful cars the e type is stunningly beautiful

At least someone has updated this classic to ultra modern standards
i like the red on that Jag. Better than white
best looking car ever

It's all scripted into the programme for tension and interest.

He [Mario] did an engine swap in my Cayenne and STOLE $10,000 and put a junk engine in my car and then closed his business...The guy is a crook
@@richardsmith9509 Sorry. I missed that episode.
I like the Sunroof and the Automatic.
Works for me

Jag turned out brilliantly
Lovelly Paint & a Great job done by all except Mario & His reversing skills.

Did he just called Bernie the letter B at 17:30 lmao
Love the show and it's all staged but they'd loose money in the real world with all the wages to pay out for 4 weeks lol
What do call a fish with no eyes
@Mr. A-Z thanks
s
I was thinking exactly this lol
I agree, plus that car value assessor is definitely an actor.
Where does a Canadian Italian and a British Yid find each other ? The episode was great.
Henry is the man
Beautiful car
What is that they're ridin around in, a 60 or 61 Jaguar Mk II? Whatever model it is it's a badass little ride....
i think that expert at the end is writing his shopping list on the clip board..
Funny
Great job car looks great minus the sunroof
Love the show so good to watch awesome
Car looks great
Great job looks great
The other car shows actually list the cars for sale after the restoration. And have people who actually get along. Thanks.
My Old man has an e-type dark purple and a old l hand drive merk SL180 :)
Ive never seen a 4.2 auto !!!!
Nice
All Jags do that had me laughing
Master of being a mought piece, and that's it.
39:36 39:05 39:37
Looks great e type great job guys
I miss this show, it was great. Bernie was the man
When did this originally air? Because I’m looking at jaguars and they are all 20k
2012-2014.
4 weeks? I'm 5 years into mine, but I guess that's the difference between a restoration and a patch and paint for resale.
Couldn't find any "restorer" that would/could do the latter for you, huh?
@@deeremeyer1749 non crap restos take years and thousands of dollars. This was a 4 week job and it'll look ass in less than a year.
Great job
Nice car.
If Leepu did the body work that accident would've destroyed the whole car with the thin soda can gauge metal he used to work with.
Get you some of this Woooooooooo!
Great job guyz. 👍
Thanks! More to come, stay tuned!
@@Machina_Official
*OTHER EPISODE'S ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN MY COUNTRY*
@@Machina_Official Bernie and Mario are awesome
Note to the commentator: Its Jaguar not Jagwar
Somehow the new generation cars missing the soul what classic cars had...
It's a nice car but I would've read the vin tag to see if that was the actual color of the car.
Without Bernie blowing his top, the show would be very dull.
Awesome
WONDER SHOW
8:26 39:04
Anyone without hair is a professional
Geez to buy an e type over here (NZ) is 250k.. even converting the dollar, seems like a low price for an e type?
You can see the Porsche for the next restoration at 32:55
they sound like an old married couple lol.
26:05 -- "Repair a worn piston" Really? Would like to see how that was done without a complete engine disassembly! Oh well, that's show business.
I thought exactly the same..
they never even mention the car is a 2+2
3:14 - What's an Alfa Romero Spider?
They should bring it back
31:19 i feel awful for laughing so hard
Hello my new friend 🙋♂️🔔🙋♂️💕💕👍🤝👍🇨🇭🇨🇭
12 for that 1 in rough shape instead of 14 for that nicer green car. 🤔🤷♂️🤔
😍😍😍
The worst way to restore a car is to set a deadline, never works..
These fake deadlines seem to be mandatory on these reality shows
1967 Jaguar E-type
Thats good you didn't take their offer. stay with the 14.5 K
You call this restoration?
Seriously man.
Perfect comment mate thanks
It's a dress-up, a proper restoration would be well over 100 grand, and they could never get that back out of it, they did the right thing.
They did a beautiful job but I wouldn't buy that car for 3 reasons;
1) auto transmission
2) sunroof
3) I'm broke

Look at the discovery serie «A car is reborn» with Mark Evans, then u see how far out this «restoration» is.

The bloody Sun Roof???? Who thought that was a good idea? Rip it out and fill it in, Come on boys
Out of the two of them I don't know who is dumb and who is dumber😂😂😂😂
£10000 they made. Who payed the Work force ?
Did you spot the brand new disc's/rotor's thought they bought used ones?
"relax relax its not that ba- Woow"
How hard is it to weld in the metal for the sunroof? That was dumb!
I know right
You guys couldn't restore a mud hole. You guys would fit in perfectly with American Pickers......
Restoration in 4 weeks and not touching the motor. Proper east end wide boy job. An E type deserves a nut and bolt. In one scene Bernie is testing a car for filler and in the resto they are adding loads. No thanks chaps,
do it properly or not at all. Yes spotted the new break discs so what else has been fudged?
I know , they said it would cost 10k to restore ?😂
50 k + to do it properly
@@Carrera-gp9odcosts about 120k-150k to fully buy and bolt rotisserie and series 1 e type .. trim alone costs 12 grand .. I know it’s a 2 plus 2 series 2 but still same amount of work . They’ve just tarted it up
Homes under the hammer (with motors) and Manufactured Drama aplenty - this lot give Top Gear a run for its money, but fun nonetheless.
I cringed when I saw them driving with that sunroof opened up. Someone's going to look at that car and figure it will cost them $5K to fix it.
12000 pounds. As of today,2022, these go for 80000 to 150000 pounds!
didn't the e type come with a v12 too?
Bondo'd over the nose dents, and didn't even fill the sunroof hole? Far from a quality restoration. An E-type deserves better.
They didn’t even take the axel out .. all it was was a repaint and weld up a whole with some cheap vinyl re trim . Didn’t take the engine out , paint the frames or cad plate the wishbones nothing
Too bad the appraisal wasn't actual money, But the real trick is to not pay your staff any wages
#varietynewworld
Super job
Enzo never saw one from behind. Or from the front. Except in his rear-view mirror.
0:00
What series is that E-Type? Series 2, 2x2?
I am confused, you said it was a 5 cylinder but the animation was a 6 cylinder.
1 cylinder wasn't working properly according to the show
The sunroof should have been filled in like the mgb
👍❤️
"Restored" with bits fished out of Abduls skip!!! smh!
Buying an E type for less than 10 grand GOOD LUCK . For that money it would be a rust bucket and in bits

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All staged just like when he was in chop shop, and its not a proper restoration of the shell.
Chop Shop oh man that was just baaaaad!
so how much was it sold for? appraisal probly 1K : )
A buck
Obvious it was top end carb oil burning ,the smoke colours a giveaway.
Nasty 1980s sunroof ruins the car should have filled it in it wouldn’t have cost that much more to do
Twin strombergs,American market . Europe market triple S. U. Carbs . Much Better.🇬🇧
Rather have the Strombergs, more reliable and I think more tunable...🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
