- The restoration of my Jaguar XJC V12 manual took 10 months to complete and in this video I go through all the costs on this project and all my other cars in Harry's Garage. I also explain why I'm using ethanol free storage fuel in all my bikes and why I use CTEK chargers in the garage.

The Yaris got down to three cylinders? That's all it got, mate.
Yup; I realised that when I was doing the edit but left it in there, partly for amusement purposes but mainly to see how many spotted my mistake. Congrats, you were first!
lol.
Thanks Harry for your wonderful content on all channels and platforms, all the best for 2022, keep safe, drive safe and happy driving.
Yes, I was wondering, too... I red issue 292 of evo magazine only some days ago, where they wrote about the GR Yaris if it is the greatest hot hatch of 2021. (I disagree with evo!) And when I saw the video I thought: "It only has 3, hasn't it?". :-)
A great year for videos Harry! Really enjoyed them all! Hope you have a happy '22
The story of the Jaguar has been amazing, from unknowingly driving a rust bucket to rebuilt to better than new and becoming a valuable addition to harry's collection. I've enjoyed all his video's and look forward to 2022.
The Jaguar looks stunning, incredibly well judged modifications.
I fully agree, especially the colour.

Thanks. I assume those comments are automatically generated or entered in a very low wage country. By consistently reporting those accounts, they will be deleted by RUclips and they will hopefully give up some time. (I’m being very optimistic, I know;)
That Jag is the most beautiful car ever designed, now restored in all its glory. Bravo Harry!
Absolutely.
As a Jaguar enthusiast from the age of 8,now 63, my father bought a Mk 10 followed by a 3.4 or 3.8s, not sure after all these years. I love all the Jags on Harry's channel and if I ever win the lottery I will make him an offer for the project 8 he can't refuse. Dream on sunshine 🤣
One of the nicest restorations I have seen, and thank you for keeping the wheels. Fantastic!
Thank you Harry, the Harry’s Garage and Harry’s Farm videos have kept me sane throughout the madness that was 2021.
This South Carolina guy is really thankful to have discovered this channel. My absolute favorite car channel--very down-to-earth, sincere, and enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!
I find Harry’s videos very relaxing and enjoyable!
Best youtube channel for petrol heads :)
Stunning results with the jaguar looks amazing. Ever had a jenson interceptor Harry be nice in that collection mate .Great videos 👍💯
The Jag turned out stunning!
I'm so pleased at how the XJC restoration as turned out - it is absoulutely stunning! Congratulations to you Harry and all the team of craftsmen that made it possible to keep what my opinion is one of the most beautiful cars ever created.
ACE that you stayed with the wheels, Harry. Beautiful result, this project. Color is really nice. Terrific piece.
Keep up the good work Harry...your videos are so much more enjoyable than Top gear,Grand Tour,Wheeler dealers etc etc....The most credible and entertaining motoring content anywhere !!!!!!
I bought a new in in the 70's export 5k it spent so many times in Hamburg Jag... Actually costing B L so much they asked me to delivery back to the factory and gave me 100% back On the way to the factory it poured down and we got soaked the Sun roof wouldn't close.. I have now a X J 6 lovely motor .
I don't know who you are, but a collector that drives and maintains a collection is an awesome thing. Have Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC stop by and do some paint corrections, that would be a great series to watch.
This is the best Jaguar. Love the paint job.
Amazing collection Harry.
Keep up the great work and videos.
Don't you worry about all yer toys in one place?!
God forbid a battery charger catching fire etc !!!
The ex military in me says keep the fuel outside in a metal container too.👍
Less videos in 2022 ?!? Doesn't sound like a good New Year resolution :) Happy holidays and thanks for the great work on the channel. Loved the restorations and the trips ... keep them coming!
The XJ was always a beautiful car and the Coupe was an extraordinary proportioned car from what was from a large saloon.
The XJ III after Pininfarina had just kissed it a few times is the best looking four door saloon of all time in my opinion.
Great choice of colour, very brave but you have pulled it off with room to spare.
please keep up the videos in 22! Especially the roadtrips and the ones on the classics!
Forget the jag result... what I can't quite believe is that the lotus esprit has gone!!! He loved that car!! Yes I've seen the 911 turbo that replaced it but I'd have ditched something else and kept that low miles HC lotus.
Another brilliant year Harry, easily the favourite YT channel. Simply love the vids, here’s to more of the same in 22.
In Canada I grew up with old school muscle cars, that said the Jag is way out of my wheelhouse but it's beautiful and mechanically fascinating. If I could afford it I'd seriously consider an old Jag (I really like the early 90s Listers)
Thanks again Harry for a cracking year, and love that Jag. I bet I speak for quite a few viewers who would love to build a small classic collection on a budget, and finding gems to restore is no doubt a load of fun and, maybe, a good use of funds.....
The wheels are perfect, the bright work looks fantastic, and that color is just the best.
I hope you & your family enjoy.
Also, I just want to say, thank you. Thank you for sharing, but most of all, thank you for putting that amount of work into that car. It turned out so well, it becomes obvious that it deserves it.
Cheers!
Looks fabulous .
All the hard work paid off .
Enjoy 😉
Harry is just the best you tuber ,without doubt the coolest guy on yt, thank you harry
Thanks Harry..and hope you’ve had a very merry Christmas
That Jag is spectacular winner so worth it great year keep it up Harry thank you for great content.
splendid, magnificant, gorgeous, great summary, great collection! Well Done. Best Wishes to you Harry.
The Jaguar looks superb , the cost compared to a new premium car, sounds like a bargain. Look forward to your next road trip. Best wishes for the New Year.
Merry Christmas Harry! Many congratulations on getting the XJC V12 finished......it looks really great in that modified 'Aston Martin Green' & the improvements you have made are very tasteful. All you need now is some good weather to enjoy it! It was also good to see a brief update on the Lancia, but please give us a more detailed video soon!
Harry thanx for all the interesting vids! Best wishes!
You should definitely NOT go up a size. The amount of sidewall is excellent. Have a similar chunky tire look on my XJ6 and love it.
The Jaquar is sitting perfectly Harry! And beautiful paint! Looking forward to a road test. 👌🏻 Also excited to see the prepaint Alfa! All the best for 2022 👍🏻👍🏻
Loved the videos this year! Keep it up in 2022
I'm crazy about the design of the Testarossa and the Contact (and the other cars), but in the looks department the XJ Coupe is the most beautiful car in your collection.
Loved the Dakar bikes videos and I am not a motorbike guy at all...
Fantastic year superb to see your collection and insight. Thank you Harry & team. All the best for 2022.
Great video Harry and thanks for sharing your costs :) its nuts but definitely worth it i guess.... The Jag its amazing!!!
Thank you for a year of a great videos and keeping us "entertained" during this covid affected times. Merry christmas and happy new year to all at Harry's garage and looking forward to 2022. As for the Jaguar, it turned out great. Real english muscle car.
Properly interesting and very informative. These vids are brilliant!👍
Thank you and Mrs M for the massive effort Harry. I am though very sorry the Esprit has gone. While I do understand the logic and the reasoning behind moving it on, I feel it leaves an empty space next to your 'other' three. Hoping for a drive of an Esprit Turbo locally here in the Forrest of Blackness in 2022. Happy new year! Bw Mike.
It looks beautiful Harry. A fine job done on its restoration.
Thanks once again Harry,a fantastic and informative year from you and let’s hope for the same for 2022 👍👍🚒👍
The car is epic. Well worth the effort.
Super cool car in a great color combination.
Wow you're garage collection is awesome for me the best bit of all is that you use them massive respect at you for that. Look forward to 2022 for more epic videos😎👌 Happy New Year to you and your family Harry 😊👍
One of the best state of the fleet updates I've seen this Christmas. I'd missed the Lotus Esprit departure! Athough you have got the Emira coming I guess! Not at all envious! On the fuel and storage front, wouldn't a storeage adative be more cost effective? And storing vehicles with nealy empty tanks rather than full ones?! Does the insurance cost cover the private collection only? ie do you have a seperate insurance account for all the farm vehicles and/or the daily cars? Happy New Year to you and yours, and keep up the good work in 2022!
this was always my favorite car from jag but being a coupe normally are less bought when new , i had some old models but never found a three doors one , like the coupe of the silver shadow its hard to find and being today prices over the roof , i had one that was the 60's model sedan but the bigger one there was a similar one but more litle , i had the luck of a young family using it by being the only car they had from the grandfather of one of them but it drinked a lot to be driven everyday to get the kid from school and work everyday in the morning , it was a fortune spent . I ofered them a perfect condition w123 from mercedes all electric and the 240D , being very economic and more even because the price of the diesel was very cheap , almost no one at the time wanted diesel cars , so it was a direct trade and being a 60's jaguar called them unreliable but this one with basic maintenance rolled perfect for more than 30 years , has i can not buy new cars and today its hard to find a model than one really like , i bought all my old cars when no one wanted them , porshes in the late 80's i bought several in late 80's they were not apreciated , at least the older models , that's how i gathered what i call a poor man's collection , i prefer the 911 turbo mkI to any ferrari to drive , the contauch was a bad car to drive , if i knew i would never drive one because i got the feeling that it was really bad to be driven , its almost unbeliveable it was made by the same brand that built the miura , but i can only watch this on videos the coupe from jaguar , never found one
Beautiful
This guy should be a host on top gear.
Hey the Roller wasn.t too expensive since it looks great ! Best wishes.
LOVE the Jag Coupe and looking forward to more videos of her ...
(but I'm wondering why Jaguar gave her LHD wipers?)
would have loved for you to have gone down the "John Steed" route! on the xjc
Beautiful Car joy to look at
Very Nice XJ C ol' Mate.. Very nice indeed..
Great restoration and colour combination fantastic, it really is a special car and the 'Kent' alloys are top. Not a fan of post '73 cars on black and white/silver number plates- just to me out of keeping with the cars age even if they are now legal.
Excellent year!
Out of all of your cars I would want the Jag Coupe first, you must make a road trip video.
I remember you having the Espada done, but where is it now? I can't see it in the garage.
Do I smell a custom XJ meetup with Nicko McBrain coming along???
gorgeous car. thanks for saving it for posterity.
best car in your garage. blows away the Ferrari’s etc.
None of the V12 Jag engines worked out in Australia, they all overheated, many being replaced with a GM 5.L a miserable engine that didnt overheat.
What a Beautiful car! If i win the Euro Lottery im coming to buy it from you!
The Porsche Turbo 12:10 gorgeous
what a beautiful looking Jaaaagg!!!!
Jaguar looks beautiful. Love that green. What's the paint code on That? Please advise back. Thank you
Lovely job on the Jag except I would have kept it in the original colour.
it was worth every penny !
enjoy watching your "boring" videos😊
honestly the choices you have in purchasing and modifying these cars make me a sick as a dog, Jealous but only in that i could aspire to your lengths if only i had few favourable financial pushes in my favour that most of us need. Not going to bring a downer on this however
as OMG that is almost the most beatiful resto of any car, ever.
Will the fuel system on the Countach and Testarossa handle the E10 fuel OK? Just curious since those cars were built during the 100% gasoline era.
Awesome video ❤️❤️❤️
Really love the transparency, Harry. Not that we are entitled to know how you spend your pennies, but in an odd way it makes this channel more relatable. The XJC looks immaculate.
I often find myself baffled by how humble and human Harry is while literally showing off his collection worth millions upon millions of pounds. Amazing feat of culture. I absolutely admire and look up to him. Can't even speak about my phone without smugness. myself :D.
Harry’s a very hard worker indeed.
He has a large collection of some very demanding vehicles that would crush most people. I sometimes struggle with the ownership of just one toy car. It takes a pair of very broad shoulders to feed a car passion anything close to Harry’s
i honestly think its due to him being a totally straight goer, he never has to hide his worth or worry that the taxman might be watching and taking notes.
@@NGC1433 I think your estimate of Harry's toys is rather wishful thinking. Although I'm sure H would love it to be worth that much. Remember the F40 and the other Countach is owed by a friend of Harry's!
His patience this year with his various rebuilds! Next time, like with any builders - get a detailed run down when each section of the car is expected to be done and estimated price. Had Harry not continued to visit for video updates, I think he could be waiting another year!
Following the XJC has been a joy. I love the machine and I’m as green as the car with jealousy! Very good work!
It is indeed a special machine. :) Agree. :)
I think these vids also showcase that we still have some great craftsmen and engineers with amazing skills , easy to forget in this throwaway world we live in . Top job by all .
Great post. The idea we are losing such highly skilled artisans is sad. For most people the cheapness and ease of use is more important than enjoying such well performing and artistic vehicles. I am always happy to see videos on older cars with history and class than some which outperform but lack soul.
The skill level of the body work guys has been outstanding 👍
@@brianiswrong I would 2nd that all the way .
@@brianiswrong Also the guy that built the V12 , all the body guys said "that was his baby" I know exactly how they feel .
"Throw away world"? Nope. Not remotely. Never be fooled by personal experience.
Ian and Harry make my Sundays better than they ever have been! Love these guys
Forgive me but should I know who Ian is?
Iain Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop.
I would add Allen Millyard with these two guys.
Amen!
That line weirds me out so much cos my brother is called Harry.
Your Jaguar looks absolutely fantastic... It's almost beyond words how good it looks with the color you chose... Congratulations, it's been a pleasure to watch and I can't wait to see the little Lancia coming back too!
The Yaris only has three cylinders, I guess it went down to two. Really interesting video, thanks for sharing Harry.
I was thinking the same
For the first time ever I’ve seen a resto/mod with NOTHING I’d change or do differently. Absolutely bang-on XJ-C!! 😍
I'd really love to see a brown/tan interior to better complement the green. However, I can't argue with the lovely wear on the seats. It does add charm (and surely saves a good amount of expense)
@@marcob1729 biscuit beige is what it needs.
Absolutely beautiful Jaguar! The color and the refinished wheels just make it look amazing!
Jag is unbelievable, Fair play, great choices, love the colour and wheels.
The Jaguar looks stunning, that unique amazing colour suits it perfectly and I totally agree about the positioning of the number plate, looks far more elegant set back under the bumper and in black and I'm glad you stayed with those wheels too. I've always loved the shape of these coupes and this one looks sophisticated and purposeful, a real iron fist in a velvet glove, a true gentleman's carriage fit for John Steed, wish it was mine!

I think that XJC is actually very good value for the result gained, especially when compared to a lot of the ‘restomods’ being offered. The finish looks incredible and love that the seats have kept the original patina.
I suppose people can disagree about the level of value (although I agree with you, Tom) but I'm just thrilled that Harry brought that car back to prime. After all, they ain't gonna make anymore...
The Jag had a great end result. Love the "confusing" nature of the re-build. Faithful to the original specs, but better. Happy New Year!
ruclips.net/video/2GNpcsCUQvs/видео.html
love the fact that every year Harry is willing to say what his fleet cost .. can anybody name another you-tuber who is that honest & open ??

I think the Car Guys do it too.
Stradman does as well. Also gives us prices on his new house build as well as the cars.
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos Harry, I’ve really enjoyed watching them, and looking forward to the next ones, Happy New Year.
I don’t think he’s look at flipping the car . Harry has done this to own and drive. It’s like a new car
The projects this year have been among my favorites. A four cylinder Lancia, a V8 Rolls and a V12 Jag all had one thing in common. The cursed demon known as RUST. And no, that is not an acronym for Reveal/Unreal Stealth Technology. It is just a long running battle against a natural process intent on destroying our enjoyment of automobiles. It was thoroughly enjoyable watching these craftsmen work to restore these fine cars. Loved every episode. Here's to a great 2022 and the rebirth of the Lancia!!
Wonderful wonderful work. Knowing the difficulties that any form of Xj6 can throw up when in throws of restoration - the chaps at Painting Classic cars deserve massive praise for what they have achieved with your Xjc. What else so exclusive and so beautiful could you have bought for the money you've spent - I can't think of anything. A great round up of the year - and looking forward to seeing more of the Countach next year! 👍👍
Allen, Iain and now Harry, the holy trinity! The car looks stunning and what a journey we’ve all been on!
Who’s allen?
Indeed Allen Millyard's Xmas "Kawasaki S1 Four Cylinder - Bottom End Build" was such a treat!!!
You don’t know who Allen Millyard is? OMG.
@@rossbright1123 Watch the last few series of The Motorbike Show, with Henry Cole. Allen is one of the guys Henry uses on his restoration- the 6 cylinder Z1A was some conversion.
I love dipping into these Harry’s Garage vids; some lovely motors. As an XFR owner, The Project 8 trip through Germany was scarily entertaining 👍
I’m into cars not bikes so won’t be watching him
Love what you’ve done with the XJC, but I have to admit, I rather liked it before; £5k of V12, warts and all!
Congratulations!!! Really well done, just a great project to follow. Thank you so much. Looking forward to new projects in 2022. Stay healthy & all our best regards from Switzerland. C. G. former 1992 Daimler DoubleSix owner.
I personally think that even with the cost of the restoration, your XJC is still kind of a bargain…. It’s as near to a new one as you could get & it just looks fantastic. The colour really suits & the manual box, suspension & wheel choice are spot on.
I’m glad you did it & thank you for sharing all the cost etc.
Hope you have a great ‘22 & I look forward to the next video. Take care 👍
I used to end up behind Series 1 XJ's in traffic jams back in the day and they have always been one of my few 'golden bucket' cars. A lot of cars look good, even great, from the font, but the series 1's look just as great from the back in a way absolutely no other car does. It is the way that the large almost flat boot transitions into the subtle vestigial fins and the shape of the lights that does it for me. A lot of modern cars are shapeless blobs at the rear (although aerodynamically superior). £67k seems an absolute bargain to me (even if it is way out of my price bracket).
ruclips.net/video/2GNpcsCUQvs/видео.html
Yes, probably the prettiest sedan of all time.... and the XJC is even prettier still.
My grandpa retired and bought an ex demo XJ6 2.8 Manual and that is the car I have the earliest memories of and it made me a petrolhead. He drove it until he died 23 years later, I was 17 and my Dad sold it for £750 as breaker. If only I had that car now...
That is a series 2
Harry, I would just like to thank you so much for the content as ever through 2021. I actually felt a little nervousness when you said you may not do as many videos in 2022 due to trips etc….. PLEASE, ‘we’ beg you, please keep them coming!!!! I really do appreciate both the factual and the personal stuff you manage into your videos, the 99 Ron fuel etc you featured is a huge plus, snippets like that really do make a big deal of difference to your fellow petrolheads. Thankyou again!!!
2:30 Good trick with the number plate Harry - I own an BMW E36 Coupe and it's common to affix them to the lower grille for the same reason.
The XJC looks fantastic, Harry-the color is lovely and glad you kept the wheels as is except for a refurb. The patina of the leather is perfect and agree with no vinyl roof-so much nicer without since you aren't hiding metal seams! I think its money well spent and can't wait to see drive reviews when weather/time allows. Happy Christmas.
The jag looks amazing as if it has just left the factory
Love the tour of the garage and what is hopefully happening in 2022
All the best for the new year cheers Harry 👍🚗
