Drive them to the top of a mountain, like Cnoc an Fhreiceadain which Clarkson did in a LR3. Also, can't find the Jag's Instagram. Is there a link anywhere?
Stop "flipping the bird" when pointing things out. The index finger was specifically designed for pointing. The F-you finger was specifically designed to express powerful words without having to actually speak.
NOTE to everyone on here. My name is Dan from this video. Just to make things clear we are not “the guys who built” the car. The car was built by RallyRaidUK. Unfortunately the part of me talking about that has not been put in this video.
I agree. Mechanically there will need to be alot sorted to future proof and fix what needs doing. Cosmetically i dont plan on changing its appearance except for re installing the missing trims and airbags. Other than that it will just be tidying things up such as the arches, the bonnet and the exhaust system.
The Patagonia cars were destroyed, AFAIK, which is terribly disappointing and sad. I mean, that Mustang wasn't my cup of tea, but man... The Porsche 928 is one of my personal all-time greats (I have 2 of them) and the GT was perhaps the best of them all, and I don't think there's much that needs to be said about the Esprit. It's godly awesome, save for its gearbox, perhaps.
Improvements, looks wise, James is the best of the trio. Best improvements functionality wise, Jeremy. And Richard's, well he was driving with a car that was possessed.
@@beforetherolliehonestly, Mike is the only reason why I tolerate this channel. If it was anyone else like Richard for example, probbaly would enjoy it more.
6:41 “it’s not a k&n. That’s a shame…” said no off roader ever. K&N lets so much debris through that anyone that truly off roads knows you don’t run that, especially in dusty conditions.
@@DanielFrost79 k&n engine air filters are for the garbage. Run a paper filter like wix for off road. On road a dry filter like aFe can be run. K&N has all that oil and still lets debris through. I use their cabin filter though.
Great to see some of these cars come back and get used for more adventures. I wish they kept all the Top Gear and Grand Tour builds they did, that would've made a great museum.
Hello! We have just launched a new DriveTribe exhibition at our Museum in Somerset. You can come along and see the Aston Martin DB9 along with other DriveTribe cars!
It's got to be awesome to be one of the builders for these shows. Simply cause, you don't have to care about it being perfect. Just functional and last long enough for the filming.
Thnx, great behind the scenes stuff and stories. You gotta love the F-type. I suggest to clean it up, make it all work and reliable, but don’t get rid of all the sand 😉
The intake noise is my thing since 1997 when I first put a shorter intake with cone filter on my Nissan Altima and let the KA24-DE sing for me. I’ve been an intake over exhaust evangelist ever since! Intake noise is a million times better than exhaust noise. I keep exhaust stock quiet so I can run the loudest intake possible.
Honestly love the rally raid cars and thought the Aston was my favorite for the roof tent going full overland setup even if the Maserati looked better and F-type was the best car of the three.
They were using this on the farm, Lisa pulled up to the shop in it over a year ago when my buddy was there LOL. JCs farm response squad keeps growing lol
Personally, id keep the fender flares, skid plate and the hood scoop but ditch the lights. Refine it all a bit and touch up the paint and some body touch up.
I would say that the production company bought a damaged F-Type looking at the pedestrian airbag its clearly just been cut and the bonnet is intact. With that many holes cut into the bonnet if that had gone off during filming the bonnet would most likely just smashed into peices.
Someone needs to explain to me how the V6S that lugs around the weight of a V8 block, without the added advantage of 2 extra firing cylinders, is the sweet spot...
They didn't even bother to use stainless rivnuts. Sadly 99% of garages in the UK build and modify the cars like this. Look "okayish" on collection, 6 months down the line it all wears away.
I Hope U guys restore the Aston Martin, it’s basically the same car richard revived on top gear series 6 ep. 3 way back in 2005!!! Nostalgia is so wonderful sometimes ❤️⚙️💯
Why would he leave it? This was one of few occasions that he had no mechanical issues and was able to go rallying with it. It proved just how reliable a modern jaguar is. I would have kept it as you feel proud of it for taking such a beating and still going strong.
I would love to see more backstory to the GT car builds. Personally, I’d keep the Jag as is and just make it driveable and able to pass inspection. I was surprised how well the Jag did on that episode.
LS, Whipple and a lift kit. It needs 300 more hp to get those wheels turning, and 4" more ground clearance to get around trails. Getting it back on tarmac is absolutely pointless.
If that Jaguar had been modified in the way it has - i.e. All-Terrain tyres, lift kit, strengthen the body, move the air intake higher for better wading depth, etc. - by a proper workshop to the build quality of the original Jaguar it would be a lot of fun, but I’d loose the silly lights. Maybe a simple LED bar across the front…
"Finally Been Found!" its from the latest grand tour show. was the motor even cooled from when Jeremy parked it? cool to see it didn't disappear though
These would get soo much more views and be better to watch if they actually got clarkson and James on when ever they were getting cars they used on the grand tour
I want to ask out of pure curiosity why Jeremy chose the F-type and not the XKR, considering the general theme of the special was 2 door, 4 seater convertible GT cars?
I thought Jezza wanted to keep the JAAAAG, as in, own it for himself Nevertheless, DT trying not to be unfathomably based car community channel challenge (impossible)🎉🎉
Put this against the MFB What happens to the cars after the show?? I know some of them have been kept by the trio but there’s a lot that don’t get rescued
I'm not really sure I understand what the point of DRIVETRIBE is anymore. The mix of pumping out low effort "look at this Grand Tour car" videos and "we took a car to another garage to have someone else work on it" videos just aren't compelling content when compared to everything else in the same sphere on RUclips. I hope Mike et al. do decide on a direction. Especially since the 'satellite' Grand Tour content will be drying up after the trio's final episode.
3:18 once again I find myself in disagreement with you, Mike…. The badge was the funniest bit of the car…. Nice to see you have ditched your beanie for this episode

It needs to be restored ……it’s currently a real mess! 😢
Now we need James' Maserati. Any idea where it is

What is your Instagram @ mate? Had a quick look and couldn't find it.
Hi mate it is GT_JAAAAG
Just commenting to get your clarificaton up there :)
@@HookMotorsport
That's great
we need a top gear / grand tour museum that features all the cars they used. hope they can find the patagonia cars
There’s a top gear museum at beauliue
The Patagonia cars were destroyed, AFAIK, which is terribly disappointing and sad. I mean, that Mustang wasn't my cup of tea, but man...

There a whole section at Beaulieu motor museum with the old top gear cars
There is. It's called "Richard Hammond's shed"
Your never get the patagonia cars they were destroyed few years ago
Watched it soo many times have fond nostalgia with such shows.. Cant wait for you guys do it again.. 😍😀
I saw on Insta that JC has bought another identical F-Type in white as he liked this one so much.
Improvements, looks wise, James is the best of the trio.
Best improvements functionality wise, Jeremy.
And Richard's, well he was driving with a car that was possessed.
Now all that’s left is James May’s Maserati 😊
Is this rescue, or prolonged torture?
Both
Im want to go off-roading I better get a jag. Lol😢
I'm gonna say torture. This presenter is super shady and unlikeable. Give us more Hammond and his daughter rallying!
@@shefalichow7917 What? Mike is great.
@@beforetherolliehonestly, Mike is the only reason why I tolerate this channel.
If it was anyone else like Richard for example, probbaly would enjoy it more.
6:41 “it’s not a k&n. That’s a shame…” said no off roader ever. K&N lets so much debris through that anyone that truly off roads knows you don’t run that, especially in dusty conditions.
I like calling K&N dust and water vacs
It would have been very silly to take to the desert.
Yeah, needs an oiled foam filter
So K&N is for road racing mainly?
(Sorry, no expert so i don't know much about 3rd party accessories)
@@DanielFrost79 k&n engine air filters are for the garbage. Run a paper filter like wix for off road. On road a dry filter like aFe can be run. K&N has all that oil and still lets debris through. I use their cabin filter though.

There exists a museum for many of the cars from top gear called World of Top Gear.
Are the cars still there?
@@danduntz2539 I never knew, that is awesome! Thanks for the info!

These cars should be taken to car shows or put in a museum.
Your wish is our command! We currently have an exhibition of some of Richard Hammond's cars in our Museum in Somerset!
I think this car was the best looking one out of the three cars, It actually looked like a proper offroader
The intake noise is my thing since 1997 when I first put a shorter intake with cone filter on my Nissan Altima and let the KA24-DE sing for me. I’ve been an intake over exhaust evangelist ever since! Intake noise is a million times better than exhaust noise. I keep exhaust stock quiet so I can run the loudest intake possible.

They were using this on the farm, Lisa pulled up to the shop in it over a year ago when my buddy was there LOL. JCs farm response squad keeps growing lol
“…as the car is completely wiping them out.” Awesome.
Why is JC the only presenter that no longer seems to support the channel by appearing on it?
He’s busy farming LoL
I have been wondering that. Would be great to see him make a appearance
He doesn't care
Council wont let him do it
Cause Mike drove the Alpha without permission! ThAnKs LiSa!!
Personally, id keep the fender flares, skid plate and the hood scoop but ditch the lights. Refine it all a bit and touch up the paint and some body touch up.
Jags dont go to heaven, they take you there
I would say that the production company bought a damaged F-Type looking at the pedestrian airbag its clearly just been cut and the bonnet is intact. With that many holes cut into the bonnet if that had gone off during filming the bonnet would most likely just smashed into peices.
Brilliant again! Well done Haynes what an achievement 👏 🏏
Someone needs to explain to me how the V6S that lugs around the weight of a V8 block, without the added advantage of 2 extra firing cylinders, is the sweet spot...
Easy, no manual transmission in any V8 F-Type. Granted they are rare, but they are out there.
Weird configurations and suboptimal designs can still be great, and the V6 in the F-Type is definitely great.
They didn't even bother to use stainless rivnuts. Sadly 99% of garages in the UK build and modify the cars like this. Look "okayish" on collection, 6 months down the line it all wears away.
Ok but want I really want to buy is THE EXCELLENT
Ask Jeremy he kept it
Or build your own
The MFB, EXCELLENT, Lincoln, and Alfa are all still owned by Jezza!
Easy, buy an old Land Rover a lower a old Mercedes on top of it
I Hope U guys restore the Aston Martin, it’s basically the same car richard revived on top gear series 6 ep. 3 way back in 2005!!! Nostalgia is so wonderful sometimes ❤️⚙️💯
I think this car deserves a proper Jag toolkit, and a more cozy and soft trunk, so that borrowed oil paintings will not be damaged on this bare metal
6:20 lot of sand in Mauritania, lot of space to lose yourself, many holes, buried deep, that pedestrian wont be talking
Glad i’m not the only one who prefers the v6

"Found" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Also "finally"
LS, Whipple and a lift kit. It needs 300 more hp to get those wheels turning, and 4" more ground clearance to get around trails. Getting it back on tarmac is absolutely pointless.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Coolant leak will defo be the pipe under the supercharger the plastic one splits.
Yay. Glad there is a plan for the Aston
A shame that we don't get to see James' Maserati, that one was clearly the best (looking) car.
One word POWER!
Currently on my 2nd Jaguar (F-Type) and would love to see it in the flesh
unreal the v8 block has v6 heads on it and blanked off hahah love it
take back to stock and see if it was possible to modify the block to lose the blocked off cylinders
The shots of Mike's hand going up and down the shaft of Jeremy's intake as he compares it to Richard's though.. 😂
Grand tour cars should by default go to drivetribe next
You really missed an opportunity during this episode Mike.
You should have included the Amazon links to all the knock off parts used on the car.
Perfect Colorado car
If that Jaguar had been modified in the way it has - i.e. All-Terrain tyres, lift kit, strengthen the body, move the air intake higher for better wading depth, etc. - by a proper workshop to the build quality of the original Jaguar it would be a lot of fun, but I’d loose the silly lights. Maybe a simple LED bar across the front…
Go full rally mode, obviously!
Restore to Grand Tour starting condition and slightly improve, safety wise, and some beautification and preservation.
He's had that Anaheim Ducks hat for a bunch of episodes now and imma go and say that he must be a big fan...
jeremy unleashed a trend any two door convertible with a supercharger- fun. no need of turbos
The JAAAAG
"Finally Been Found!" its from the latest grand tour show. was the motor even cooled from when Jeremy parked it? cool to see it didn't disappear though
An offroad roadster... Sounds fun, im guessing it's one-time-use 😂😂😂
5:14 That is a lot of holes, enough holes to grate a block of cheese with it!
Now all that's left is James May's Maserati🎉❤
V8 f-type is the only one to get. The weight difference is negligible as they basically use the same block
Leave as is. Keep the sand too. Just fix the leaks. Be a show stopper wherever you go.
These would get soo much more views and be better to watch if they actually got clarkson and James on when ever they were getting cars they used on the grand tour
1:31 "There's even more holes in the back" - Mike Fernie.
Do these have an aluminium shell? How exactly do you repair an aluminium sill that you've cut with a hacksaw to MoT standards?
GREAT now ive got to go rewatch that ep of GT
Completely forgot about that gt special, that just don’t hit like the old days
I want to ask out of pure curiosity why Jeremy chose the F-type and not the XKR, considering the general theme of the special was 2 door, 4 seater convertible GT cars?
Do you know what happened to May's panda 4×4 from Colombia? I very much want that Car
Thank goodness. I don't know why one would choose to save the Aston over this, so the world feels right again.
The grand tour loves to do things on a budget.
Ripples on the water from the great car show :)
This week on DriveTribe Presents: Another Jaguar
hey hey hey.. let's not throw stones. 🤣
Make a proper job of all the botches: get rid of the wood screws etc., tidy up all the hacks and make it UK road legal. It will be an epic car again
Was following it through Hereford Mac Donald’s a couple of weeks ago
If it were my choice, think I'd keep it as a rally raid car, but do it properly. Think it would be a real shame to return it to a typical road car.
The first car I ever crashed was a 69' XKE. Actually not my fault. A lady in an SUV threw her truck in reverse at a red light we were waiting at.
I think you should keep the same look, but take the time to make it look like it was done factory.
Wow. A Jaaaaaaaaag from way back in the days when Jaguar/Land Rover actually made cars.
id love to see you go down to his farm and ask him about it
How is Drivetribe only getting 200k views on the day of release. When Mat Armstrong is getting 1m views on the day of release.
100% need to get james car back
Whats the song in the background 2:00 + ?
I thought Jezza wanted to keep the JAAAAG, as in, own it for himself
Nevertheless, DT trying not to be unfathomably based car community channel challenge (impossible)🎉🎉
Yeah, I thought the same, definitely heard somewhere he wanted to keep it
@@iantownsend500 well, I guess we can be happy on the fact that he did buy a new F-Type.
Or that's what I read somewhere, IIRC.
Yes he bought one in same spec after he got back
theres thousands of normal F-Types arround but only one of them
Put this against the MFB
What happens to the cars after the show?? I know some of them have been kept by the trio but there’s a lot that don’t get rescued
"bolted on" is being generous
Personally just re do all the bad bits properly and update some of the off road components and do some rally tours
So how is the V6 the best engine, when it is just carrying the weight of an V8 but without its power and cylinders?
it cant be that shoddy it survived being Clarksoned
How about, finishing a project, it's quite annoying trying to figure out where and what project we're meant to be on.
using wood screws instead of rivets is insane xD
I do love an F-type
I'd tidy it up a bit, but keep it in the same spirit
Take it trail rallying
This car made me want to trade my XJL for an F-type
How many holes are on this Jag you ask... ALL of the holes!
I thought from Clarkson's comments on the grand tour, he would want to have it back
Why doesn't Clarkson appear in DriveTribe videos??
Do I see a possible hire for Top Gear or preferably the Grand Tour?! I freakin do!
I'm not really sure I understand what the point of DRIVETRIBE is anymore. The mix of pumping out low effort "look at this Grand Tour car" videos and "we took a car to another garage to have someone else work on it" videos just aren't compelling content when compared to everything else in the same sphere on RUclips.

Am I the only person who really wants a badge that says "JAAAG" for his car?
