I owned a beautiful example of an E Type in 1973 beautiful machine, but I have to hand it to you what I have just viewed is out of this world. It just shows what can be done when a real artistical engineer gets to work, the most beautiful machine on 4 wheels. Thanks
Stunning functional artwork. I have met Chip - extremely personable, humble man, his lovely wife is same! My wife and I toured his shop some years ago and we saw Chip leaving for an appointment. I didn’t want to bum rush him and keep a distant away, he went out of his way to come over to introduce himself (as if he needed to!) and we were able to have brief, well appreciated conversation. I truly appreciate his talents, commitment to the auto industry and his generosity to others.
Agreed, What makes Chip special IS that he is humble and a classy guy. My dream would be to have Chip build me a 69 Z28 restomod with a 572 motor, trick suspension, his choice of interior and exterior colors. Your the man Chip.
The car is hideous. I own a '67 E-Type roadster and I am usually pretty open to guys modifying their cars but this thing is just gross. And Foose has the audacity to claim that he knows better than the original designers. That would be Malcom Sayer and Bill Heynes, both geniuses in their own rights who are surely spinning in their graves.
@@jwh475ezc Spinning is a good way to stay in shape. One Italian car company owner, whose company was bailed out of bankruptcy a half a century ago says a Jag (the first ones were uncomfortable as hell for anyone over 6'2") is the most beautiful car in the world makes these two employees better than Chip Foose whose company is doing quite well? Really, give us a break!
Chip, “Love at first sight”… I have owned an XK150S, ‘62 MK2, XJ6C, and a ‘94 XJS 2+2… But, this is the most amazing and beautiful XKE I have ever seen. A true Dream Car. Great design and execution… Simply, “Wow”!!! Thank you for being you…
This is just a work of art. At first i looked at this Jaguar and i didnt knew what to think, but just the attention to details, the way its all custom made, simply all the effort put into making this the dream car of its owner, its beautiful. You guys complaining about this "yeah the wheels are big" "standard" should get yourselves a Jag and build it the way you want it to, this belongs to his owner, its his car, if he wanted he could handle it to freaking West Coast Customs and they would put 22 inch dub wheels, scissor doors, a pep boys wing, ice cream machine to the back and a pool in the interior. As far as custom made cars go, this is incredible.
Mr Foose. I'm in the U.K. and when you started this project I thought 'noooooooooo'. You're like a fine wine my friend and get better with age. I think it's stunning.
I'm a Brit and I love what this amazing designer has done. Listen to what he is saying. He said he wants to replace the stock components with what the designers would have wanted. I think he has done an amazing job. I would describe his work as breathtaking. How many times have you gasped when you saw a car?
I'm 47. Been watching custom car shows back when Boyd was the man. This car is the most beautiful piece of rolling art that's ever been made. It's absolute perfection.
Chip you addressed two major things that dated the jag the most for me the windshield rake And the thinness of the body height thickness, absolutely the most beautiful car in the world now !!!!
he's great on his u.s. costum arena (i actually like the fact that he is designer (with taste), not some back door scrap amateur), but let be honest here: world is big place and there are a lot same or better designers out there, where car design is coming from. personally, i kind of like this jag, but it could be done with litlle bit more finesse, you can is american" school" too much, which doesn't suit this car that great, imo. but fro sure i wouldn't mind having one, for sure..
That car is like a very expensive piece of fine jewelry....to be worn on special occasions...Chip Foose always goes way over the top when he does a build...it's his best or it's not done...thanks Mr. Foose!
*As an E-type owner with a mortgage who probabaly couldn't even afford the custom windshield, I'd choose these four options first. Which would you choose?:* *Chin fairing rounded and front bumper minimalization* *Covered Headlamps & XK120 logos* *Seat recline and leather on panels* *Top delete and deck lid extension*
Foose is the best car designer that ever lived. He took the most beautiful car in the world and just made it 10 times better in full sense of beauty and quality. TOP MAN ✨all he’s works is just fascinating. U are the best Chipp. Im from the other side of the globe but ur known everywhere. Respect my friend
The skill Kip has is the vision of the wheels and flow of the body... there is no one that sees the curves and lines like him. Pure genius... absolutely love this car !
People have to remember this is not a rebuild its a homage to what was a beautifully designed vehicle. The sympathetic treatment and very slight changes to modernize this car are quite simply amazing. I do believe like others have said the wheels in my opinion would have been better wired! But this is to show off his wheel business after all.
I can appreciate all the hours and skill it must have taken to produce this car. Sadly,the result is not an E type,It's just an Americanised fantasy car.The original with it's wonderful classic lines was and still is the most beautiful car ever made.It didn't need this treatment.
Exactly. It is beautifully engineered but it's been stretched too much and lost the original proportions. The dashboard is just 1960s American roadster and those wheels/low profile tyres are just vulgar. The 1950/60s engineers designed it exactly how they wanted the whole car - subtle and it is why it still draws admiring glances 60+ years later. If only JLR realised the potential of a paired back 2020s update instead of the pink 'Lady Penelope mobile'.
As some people have pointed out it’s not like the original, it’s not meant to be . This is a modern interpretation of a classic design and no matter what the haters say , it’s cool . Thanks for sharing your vision.
I can honestly say this is the first e type I've ever liked. You fixed everything I've hated about them. The space for the top behind the seats, that tail end is just beautiful. The biggest thing would be the rockers, the car just looked like it would break in half at any time because it was so thin. Stellar job chip
It's an incredibly beautiful car, but the wheels are next level amazing. I agree with others, this car doesn't really look right with rims this large, but the design of the rims and machine work is outstanding.
It would have been (more) interesting to do a homage to the Jaguar D-Type racing wheels, which were in fact used on racing versions of the E type. And I do agree with others about the wheel vs tire ratio. Too much wheel; too little tire, and that affects practicality as well as esthetics.
What a fantastic interpretation of an already fabulous looking car. No criticism at all although personally I think the wheels would suit the car better if they were smaller. I just prefer a bit more sidewall on older cars but who am I to argue with Mr Foose
Nah. That's not the foose trademark. It's meant to have modern details. If he wanted it to be regular like you he would've done that. Why would he make a billet wheel that's small with thick rubber? That just simply doesn't make sense.
@SelectCircle !!!X DAMN TRUE X!!! Chip Foose seems to be able to read my wildest car phantasies, too. He's on my bucket list after hitting the jackpot as well. The Aston Martin OffRoad has to come alive ... and I KNOW he will understand me 😍👋🌟🎩
Really!,..First person I'd call is Pininfarina Coach Builders to design the body, then Maserti to design the engine. You just won the lottery man! Chip Foose wouldn't even factor in. Think bigger, and take stock in the Big Boys of car design.
Phil McKrakin .... if I ever won the lottery I would instantly bring him a 70s chevelle and a 72 Cadillac deville and just hand him money just to think about building my cars...
@@Slowhand871 - Other than for show, what's the attraction. With 1" tall sidewalls, hit most ANYTHING and the tire and rim are toast. Body mods are GREAT and the car looks AWESOME. Pass on the rims and tires though. I want a street-able car.
...dropped the ball on this one. Chip's work is always amazing. Missed the mark on this build. Turned a beautiful Jag into a Ferrari. Wheels way too big.
‘What do you do with a car that Enzo Ferrari said was the most beautiful car in the world?’ ... uhhhhh, nothing? You restore it to the way it looked on day one.
might be a downer to most ppl who reacted in the previous vids.. engine is an LS, any european engine would have fit much better for the build, but the owners decided with an LS so..
Car design is not suited to Ls engine sound ! It needs the note of the v12 or the 6 with the triple carbs It would be like throwing a Ls in a Ferrari , I personally find certain engines belong in certain cars
@@sharons9367 ls engines are pretty reliable and they can put out a lot of power . If he did put a ls engine he probably made a good choice. Jaguars have lots of mechanical and electrical issues
I really like Chip's take on a classic that is hard to improve on. I love the concept of the wheels being a wire style billet wheel, however, I think the design would flow much better if the wheels themselves were 2" smaller in diameter and had a fatter sidewall on the tire. I love how the mirror posts were blended into the windshield frame looking like a single piece, but I think the mirrors are a bit thin for function, some classic round or even better - bullet style mirrors would have been awesome! My absolute favorite design elements though are the grille, lower air scoop, and the hood scoop reminiscent of a Ferrari 250
I think you are right on target; most of the work on this car is truly spectacular (and I am fine with the dainty mirrors!). The paint finish and the interior are beautiful. I appreciate the work that went into making a billet wire-style wheel but they are really disproportionate to the car and take away from what is an excellent rethinking of the E-Type. Smaller wheels with more sidewall would have been perfect but as they are it is disturbing. I love Chip Foose's work so I am surprised by this.
I do too. This overall creation was not made to represent a daily driver but a pure " Work of Art ". . . which it is. If you can afford this and frequently want to drive it then you can afford taller tires.
What percentage of the car design and overall inspiration for this art work would you say goes to the guy that designed the oversized wheels and altered the hood/bonnet bubble to have an opening into the engine bay?

The perfect refinement of one of the best looking cars ever redesigned by Foose!
Chip's got a brain with massive foresight and an eidetic memory. The GOAT of automotive customisation.
That’s what I call functional automotive art. AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL.
This Jaguar could win a riddler award for Foose great paint and wheels and tire combination this is a sweet machine great job Chip and the team 👌
Never change great design. Make your own great design.
Thank you

Literally one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.
100% Agree with you
Love the color and the wheels are retro with a modern flare.E type Jag custom is so cool and different!
This might just be the most beautiful car ever created. I mean My Goodness. It’s absolutely perfect.

Personally I would have liked smaller wheels with thicker wall tyres. For the rest an amazing build (as usual).
I agree. they dont fit that car's look.
That's the first thing that jumped out at me. The wheels ruin it.
same here. but even with this wheels its amazing
Have you all seen the Eagle E-Type?Beautifull from every angle!
Yeah tires not work at all
Foose is a class act and I admire the fact he never shies away from thanking and acknowledging others involved in his projects. Great looking car!
I am 70 years young and this has been my dream car since I was 14 years old. Magnificent restoration. I wish I could go for a spin in this Jaguar 🐆!
That is, without doubt, the most beautiful car I have ever seen. Thank you, and well done.

Probably the most beautyful car I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen many. A masterpiece from Foose! Cudos!
Chip you addressed two major things that dated the jag the most for me the windshield rake And the thinness of the body height thickness, absolutely the most beautiful car in the world now !!!!
Absolutely magnificent. Design changes are perfect for this unique look. Colour is stunning .
Foose is in a class by himself, is my opinion. Awesome.
A long way from awesome try nuts.

Absolutely stunning, subtle yet so different/ better in proportions and fit / finish
Chip, you took the most beautiful car ever designed, and made it Gorgeous!!!
I think this is the most beautiful car on the planet !!!

I cant believe how good it looks.This car is my dream car
People do amazing resto mods and then there is Chip Foose - "Respect"
Have seen that guy ruin to many classic cars
Amazing car,your vision and the amazing work your guys do really show in this build.
They make so many tuning tv shows but Foose was and is a different level in all ways real high class.
absolutely breath taking. that has got to be the most beautiful car i have ever seen.
WOW! This car has been Foose-e-phied! Hope I spelled that correctly... you know what I mean. Awesome build! Cheers!
Maybe not the most beautiful car I've ever seen, but surely the most beautiful THING I've ever seen.
Impressive wheels but you need a little bit more sidewall on a classic or it just looks odd
It's not a classic, it's a reimagined classic.
Yep. More tire. Less wheel.
I never liked the big rim look. They definitely don’t look at home on that car.
DefJenJag yup wheels are too big. Cool how he made them though.
It would have been (more) interesting to do a homage to the Jaguar D-Type racing wheels, which were in fact used on racing versions of the E type. And I do agree with others about the wheel vs tire ratio. Too much wheel; too little tire, and that affects practicality as well as esthetics.
E Type Jag.... quite possibly my favorite car ever!

Supreme craftmanship. The wheels overpower it though. Needs some smaller rims with higher profile rubber.

just the front should be an inch smaller diameter than the rear!
@@jarnosaarinen4583: That's what I was thinking. The front throws off the overall 'balance' of the Jaguar.

It was perfect then. This is what sixty years of progress has taken perfection to. Two different iterations of perfection. Which will you choose?
Dear Chip: How much will it cost for you to make me one of those?

Outstanding work chip you guys are amazing and we love them Wheels you did such an awesome job sir
Smaller wheels with more side wall wouldn’t go amiss. Other than that it’s perfect.
If it were my million(s?) that bought it, I'd have gone with a different front grill as well...looks like it belongs on an Aston Martin.
Yea I agree. They're just too big but apart from that a really really nice job
Just one pot-hole can destroy a pair of those wheels with the low-profile tires. I don't like their looks either.
I read your comment before seeing the video and thought, "What a pretentious d*ck", but after seeing the car, you're right.
Yeah the bigs wheel make it look like a horse drawn carriage.
How can you improve on Chip's designs? Stunning! Too beautiful for words.
...dropped the ball on this one. Chip's work is always amazing. Missed the mark on this build. Turned a beautiful Jag into a Ferrari. Wheels way too big.

Simply a work of art, pure Majic. Chip is incredible, and should be considered on of the Worlds greatest living artists.
Wow! Next Level. Great design elements added by Chip Foose.
Wow this just blows my mind can't wait to see the engine finished !
Chip you’re an incredible guy. Nice job. I always wanted to work for you.
I hope you do one day.
Brilliant creation!
This prove again that this the most beatiful car in the world. Chip Foosse Is a Genious!
A smaller wheel 2 inches with more side wall would have been perfect
funny how many people agree on this, he just cant stop himself can he lol
Many builders have this issue. Like Kindig.. always too big wheels
Exactly my thought. The car looks great except for the over-sized wheels which don't suit a GT. The wheels are an impressive piece of creation though.
Love Chip's work but often the wheels are cartoonish.
He probably wouldn't do the design on the wheels justice if they weren't as large.
Stunning... piece of art, his talking of Mike Curtis would this be the same Mike from Boyds
Yup, same guy
I'm glad his still in the game.
Absolute purification, the colour with the wheels together with the design modifications
Great job would've loved to have seen the engine
might be a downer to most ppl who reacted in the previous vids.. engine is an LS, any european engine would have fit much better for the build, but the owners decided with an LS so..
JMD swapped them drive train. Took off 600 lbs and boosted the hp to 550!!! There are other videos on it.
Car design is not suited to Ls engine sound ! It needs the note of the v12 or the 6 with the triple carbs
It would be like throwing a Ls in a Ferrari , I personally find certain engines belong in certain cars
Sharon Stosic agreed! Maybe the 760LI v12 would be nice!
