Gorgeous example!

De Ford Escort (model 1975 - 1980) heeft toch aardig wat weg van de Daf coupé. Optisch waa een 55/66 coupe toch net iets anders dan het gewone model. Kijk eens naar Autowereld Daf....zijn wel echte klassiekers geworden...

Good video.

Ik rijdt de S60 uit 2023 fijne reiswagen is het...

I've got a very original late 1973 S1 2.8 auto SWB in Fern grey with a lovely biscuit leather interior, 57K miles from new with 3 previous owners tucked away in a dry barn, I am never going to get the time to get it back on the road so reluctantly i think i will have to sell it on 😭

7:26 : You normally have 3 options to open the trunk: With the key, the button in the cockpit and the button on the key. If neither of the buttons work, most likely the actuating motor (in german: Stellmotor) for the trunk is broken. I had the same problem on my 2003 Fusion. The part costs around 15 bucks on ebay and can be changed in a matter of 10 minutes (remove the cover of the tailgate, take out a string and unscrew the actuating motor). It is kind of a weak point of the Fusion, many have the problem.

I am about to buy maybe one... i am unsure!

I love mine lovely video showing how good this little car is ❤

the series 1 is most beutiful

Very nice car.

Dutch language sounds like twisted and cock up english mix with german.😅

I had a 2.8 manual 71 model with full length webasto sun roof, lovely motor.

Excellent work gents. Greetings from Australia!

Excellent review.... informative, easy to understand and made my (61 yr old) thinking on buying a used Fusion to be a 'cool' decision 😄👍

Heel erg jammer hoe het prototype verkracht is, Lineage is zò mooi, productieversie is echt jammer.

i used to have a series3 4.2L automatic It had EFI and electronic ignition. I was able to get 8 km out of 1L or euro95.

11:44 the headlights become the Batmobile 11:55 🌬️

I think the brake circuit is not on the hydropneumatic circuit any more on the C6.

Hi guys. I have a 1969 XJ6, very similar to this and equally delightful. I am working through a similar bunch of repairs. That thing in the middle of the parcel shelf is indeed a ventilation outlet, and if you haven't done it already you'll probably need to unbolt the drip-tray from underneath the parcel shelf, to access and repair the four swinging-flaps than open and close in response to the air flow. This keeps the fumes under control. God bless.

GOATED VIDEO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

LOVE THE INTRO!

Own a citigo from 2014 and it has driven 370000 km now, never had any problems with it and am still very happy with it 😀

Thinking about trading my Leaf for one of these. My commute is one hour each way, would this be a comfortable car for this journey for someone 1.8 cm tall?

Thank you for the honesty and the detailed review. I own an Audi and I have always said, the professionalism of Audi stops at the end of the the assembly line. Audi should do better with the after sale service. new or semi new Audis.

Had an early Series 2 4.2 auto. British Racing Green, Short wheelbase (better on the road) tan interior, ticked all-the-boxes. My daily driver back in 2007 and some years on. Thirsty, but built as a late -73 just before British Leyland, so didn't fall apart. Best car I've owned, and a Dream car from my childhood. However more a fan of S 1:s front as well as the early Chrome bezeled instrumentation... Also the rear license light is far more elegantly executed on S 1, leaving space for the Aston-ish winged badge on the trunklid.

Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 not Mk1

Fun facts: the XJ has the same independent rear suspension (IRS) and 6 or 12 cyl. engine as the e- type. With the XK engine, which dates back from 1948, Jaguar won Le Mans multiple times in the fifties. With the V12 engine, jaguar won Le Mans two times in the late 80- early 90s. In the late 60s -early 70s, the XJ12 was the fastest 4 door production car in the world. The XJ series 3 was redesigned by Pininfarina. Queen Elisabeth owned a long-wheel base XJ12 series 1.

Congratulations on a nice clean car with a lovely exterior and engine bay. It's a real shame about the bonnet which I'd recommend having repaired when you can. Thanks for sharing!

A work of art. Beautiful dash.

Excellent video with a very unique intro !

I enjoyed your XJ6 series1 tour very much. Grace, pace and space indeed! Your film brought about huge amounts of nostalgia as my father had quite a few Jaguars of this era. I will ask him what the round blank space is on the centre console and see if he remembers. I love the gentleness and genuine enthusiasm for the "old girl" by both of your. Simply lovely! (as another great - very fast - Dutchman likes to say 🙂)

What you showed is the Breakeservo/assistant (Breakebooster?). The Vacumreservoir is behind this Unit, in the Wing. Have the same Car since 1991, but 2.8 litre manual with Overdrive. Enjoy😊

A jolly time indeed ! I had one of these magnificent motorcars in 1974 , a very early '69 . In all of the hundreds of cars l've driven, including Rolls Royce ,Jensen , this still rates as the most impressive . But my 1970 2.5pi mk2 saloon comes a very close second . I think it's Warwick Grey but it could be Ascot Fawn or Willow Green . The camera angles can be deceptive . Thankyou gentlemen

Such a pretty car.

I had a series 3, 4.2 for 4 years and for sure it is a beautiful car but it is very old style also compared with other cars of the same period. I am happy I sold it.

did you realised what you said??? 6l. runing 10km???? 60l./100km!!!! you dont know nothing about that car!!!! i have a 71 xj6 4.2 manual and spnt 12l. /100km running at 100km/h .... for god save....

I must off raced 120 off these over the yrs

Hi from Sydney, Australia. I owned a rare 1973 series 1 long wheelbase XJ6 it was one of the last completed in January 1974 then shipped to Sydney, ordered by the general manager of the French Citra Constructions that had been building the natural gas pipelines and associated infrastructure across Australia. I say the LWB cars are rare as in the 5 years '68-'73 98,000 series1's were made, however a mere 2,600 LWB bodyshells were stamped, this including all variants V12 or 6 cyl', Daimler or Jaguar, LHD or RHD plus within that 2,600 were 352 Van Den Plas. The series 1's are lovely cars better quality cars than the series 2's or 3's. Effectively they are a slightly smaller refresh of the earlier mk10/420G series removing some of the more expensive body construction methods and making the front mudguards a bolt on item, same with the rear lower mudguards which also bolt off the Xj's, there was further weight reduction in the body sill rails and deletion of the "skew" angle reinforcement beams found within the mk10 engine bay also the welded in massive inner front mudguard shells found on a mk10/420G. This brought them into the realms of how Mercedes Benz built the 1960's version of their "s" class MB sedans. Sir William Lyons was well aware of the Mono construction body-flex issues Ford USA had with their 1958; 59 & 60 Lincoln & Thunderbird ranges and did not want any such similar issue on his new giant Jaguar so the whole car was both reinforced and massively engineered with heavier thicker gauge steel in a mk10/420G compared to any other Jaguar. The air exit vent on the rear parcel shelf for the flow-thru ventilation takes stale cabin air into a fibreglass unit with 2 drains coming from it, that unit releases the stale air out in the drain valley of the boot beneath the back window you will see there is around 7 exit points with riveted fine brass gauze doors, and in case of car parked at a bad angle and a heavy rain downpour, the 2 drains will let any water out on the ground in the rear wheel wells, a clever system. It's a wonder you did not see this when fitting the new rear speakers. On a quiet empty freeway at speed late at night in a near silent xj6 you will hear the little brass gauze vent flaps "tinkling" in the breeze if you have the ventilation system just say 1/4 way open. I still own a 1967 mk10/420G these are longer, wider, heavier, and way more powerful as they use the most potent version of the 4.2 liter 6 cyl created. Enjoy your car !! It looks very nice in Ascot Fawn.

I had a Jaguar XJ6 4.2 series 1 for 13 years and absolutely regret selling it. It’s a wonderful, beautiful and endearing car.

That thing on the rear parcel shelf is the air outlet for the interior.

The vaccum tank is not the One they point on it is in the wing behind the brake servo. The brake servo is the one he is pointing on. Vera fun video of the joy of owning a Jaguar.

It is shit french engineering, just like all other french cars

that introduction was so unexpected but very welcome

Bwoahhhhh amazing video

I drove a 2010 Hyundai i10 to the Nürburgring at the end of May and whilst i was on the autobahn there was an unhealthy amount of windnoise on the inside. Its a good car for camping due to a lack of electronics so you wont be stranded with a flat battery and on the way back home i decided to try and break the top speed record of this i10, i decided to back out after reaching 150kph as that was the stated top speed of the car, i couldve gone faster but didnt know what speed the tires were rated for and i valued my life more than that record.

The owner is so classy. People in netherlands are so tall, lucky bastards.

I have a Fusion 😃 it's not the prettiest but definitely the best car I've ever had. Cheap and no repairs. 2008 1.6 diesel with 199,000 km. I'll keep it 👍

Fabulous cars. To my mind very pretty. I had the 66. Faster than a Triumph Dolomite. 787kg is an amazing weight. Modern cars are designed like tanks. Thank you.

As an Englishman let me say your language was excellent. I live in London and my High Up (75bhp) is more than suitable for 95% of real life driving and I’m also 6’3" so not exactly short. Great video, makes me want to road trip down to Lake Como again taking in the Alps en route.
