Jay Leno is just such a likable guy. It is the cars like this Jag that brings me to this channel, and then Jay delivers his deep appreciation for them. A very enjoyable ten minutes.
Jay Leno is the ultimate car guy. He has the best collection of cars and motorcycles of all time. I will always be his biggest fan when it comes to his car collection.
It's not just you! I'm 16 and I love the way this car looks!
That car is a drop dead gorgeous work of art, absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for showing it to us Jay Leno
It's funny how curvy cars have made a big comeback- I never did like the angular designs of the 70's and 80's that much. E types, MGA's , TR4's, early Jensons all look fabulous- Lots of the motor cycles look brilliant from that era as well. Great video.
one of the best looking cars I have ever seen!
When Jay talks cars there is not much that he says with which I disagree. This video is no exception. I love vehicles of that era.
The jaguar XKE was certainly one of the best sports cars made back in the day, and this very customized XKE is nice.
Somehow I missed this episode. That is absolutely gorgeous.
You're killing me, Jay. That's got to be one of the world's best cars you're driving there.
I've owned 5 Jaguars. Everything in this video took my breath away. Every word out of Leno's mouth was "telling my whole life..." Thank you, Roberta Flack.
Thank you Jay Leno.
My dad bought my mom a brand new one in 1970....what sexy machine....he sold it in 1990 to a gentleman in England was shipping it back for a complete restore....it needed badly.....on time I saw my Dad cry when it was being loaded on the flat bed...besides the time he got his hand caught in the log splitter....he turned every color of the rainbow and I learned every swear word in English Austrian band Polish...boy I miss him
You know you did a great job if Jay Leno is chasing you around to buy your car!
Just beautiful. What a gem!
"The best looking and most elegant roadster ever" admitted even Enzo Ferrari: this is a guarantee for true class!
Crap stance hasn't aged well
@@jameshill3587 : "Crap stance" ???
The best part is that anyone could afford one before their retirement
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. :)
I drove a V12 '74 E type in that shade of red on our wedding day.
It will probably be the most exotic car I ever drive!
Jags from this period are just suited to the Pirelli Cinturato. 185VR16 for the XK120, XK140 & XK150. The E types are best on 185Vr15 Cinturato CA67, even if they are upgraded. When they fitted powersteering to the series 2 they fitted 205/70VR15 tyres and Pirelli now make a 205/70VR15 CN12 which is a 1971 tyre and perfect for the V12 XKE, XJS, XJ6 and for people that like a wider tyre on an earlier XKE
i think this is the perfect e type jag, like he said, the series 3 doesnt look as good as the series 1. very well done. gotta love the front and rear lights of the series 1
I saw Jay cruisin in this Jag a month ago in LA. Hell yeah, now I found the video to this car.
easily one of - if not THE prettiest car of all time! My childhood dream machine! ... and what a sound!!!
Jay Leno has hundreds of cars in his garage, but has only one pair of jeans and a shirt in his closet. Modest man!
these old cars are the best,they have souls
Enzo Ferrari once described this as the world's most beautiful car, high praise from a man who knows more than a little about beautiful cars.
The current model of the Z-car, the Nissan 370Z is another car that is quite beautiful and has the qualities of these old-time sports cars, light weight, simplicity, good handling and a big torquey naturally aspirated engine.
Fabulous such dedication in the rework. Love it.
I love how big the tires look compared to the car, something special about that.
Jay thank you for showing your XKE. beautiful car . some day ill have one
She's a beautiful! Looking good Jay. I recall seeing the first V-12s around Detroit. After getting off Summer traffic stalled expressways, they'd be parked along streets with the owners putting cold damp rags over the fuel lines to reduce perculation. Similarly, pilots of fuel injected Mooney aircraft had the same problem if they hadn't allowed engines to cool properly between flights. Cowlings were faired very closely and retained heat.
needs to have 'red barchetta' by rush playing in the background to be perrrrrfect....NICE!
The video for Metal Church, Highway Star is a movie excerpt with an old vette racing an old porche. I forget the name of the movie but it takes me back. Yes it's a Deep Purple remake.
Thank you for the video. It is always a treat to hear you talk about vehicles.
Seems like every XKE he has looks better than the other. This has got to be the best.
"Oh look, I think we've warmed up!" VROOOOOOMMMM! :-)))))))))))))))))))
What you had no words to explain. I understand completely and so do many here watching this show. My neighbor on Governors Island on Lake Winnipesaukee had a brand new V-12 XKE and I had a 1970 MGB. Sometimes we would trade when she had a date that she did not want to know who she was. I was in High Schoo. So driving to school in a new yellow XKE was great. One question? To get power out of her V-12 XKE one had to get to the end of the throttle. Was this normal in Jags? I always wondered. Simple days, simple fun, feel sorry for young people that never get off their phones or earbuds.
The bond between man and machine was more apparent then it seems.
you don't have four daughters, the personal touch makes this show - like!
A great looking Jag! I could never afford a Jag so I rebuilt a MGB with a Weber carb and header, it was fun, but it was no Jag. I've always loved British sports cars and to me there is no other sports cars other than British. I grew up around the muscle cars of the 60's, GTO, 442, Corvette, Mustang, ect. ect. but the British had something special and the Jag XKE to me was the top of the line.
NICELY PUT TOGETHER JAY.......LOVE THE MK1 STYLE WITH THE SWB IDEA, WITH THE V12, GOOD WORK!
I had an Interceptor - red Mk II - that I sold to a gentleman named Jensen. I think he was Swedish. Lovely car to sit in and cruise along the freeway.
I love the E Type!
Used to know a fella who said the oil level got too low in his 12, and he did some damage, still had oil pressure but it may be that oil cooling may have played a part in these engines and that it was imperative to keep it at the right level. Found an old brochure from a dealer in '72, said "some people think a Jag is dear to service, but our mechanics charge $7 an hour" [this is in OZ]. This fella junked the 12, too expensive to repair and he had a 350 Chevy engine fitted instead. This was a common rebuild, one mechanic made it his speciality to convert.
Cool
john brown That's like carving off your left nut and replacing it with a conker
Justin Daley Might do some good for the weight distribution, and it allows someone who is cash strapped but wants to drive a Jag without burning a hole in their pocket.
john brown and you'd be left with a lemon, worse still, one that you created. I just couldn't do it, but since I'm English I'm perhaps a little overprotective!
Justin Daley Fair enough answer, however i am not sure about the resale value of these cars and a lot would depend upon overall condition i.e. looking "tired" would not help, and I don't know about the rust from England's salted roads.
Most perfect car in jays collection...
A great pity that Jag didn't build the V12 E-Type like this.
What's wrong with a '74 3rd series v12 ? Best looking E-type IMO
@@catamenia8485 It's just the early 60s short wheelbase are the most desirable and handle best, but the 74' is also pretty
@@catamenia8485 plus by that time the front headlight lost the cover which destroyed the car's looks somewhat and the rear headlights & bumpers were uglified to meet federal "StAnDaRdS"
what a great hot rod,,,,, when i was a little kid all the toy cars where these coll 60"s cars,, so no wonder i still like them.
best looking car hands down of all time just ahead of the gt40
A lot of work, a lot of love. Thanks for sharing your garage, Jay.
Sick,, but it should be Green!
Lucky Yank having all those Toys.
Great post, Long Live Leno.
I would prefer that car to the stock one! But when he said heavily modified he wasn't kidding. You would need a Jason Len to have one of those.
XKE are my Favorite Jag of all time. Can’t be looks drivability and upgrade path.
That V12 sounds incredible at full chat
The sound reminds me of an old British spitfire!!! Fabulous!!
And yes, 50's and 60's sports cars did look better.. I figured that was why so many cars are going retro with their designs, harkening back to the golden age of car styling!
God that is beautiful.
First time I've seen a Jag do a burn out. Nice!
I like the way he says 'Jagwah'.
When I was a boy, I just about thought the XKE was the sexiest thing on 4 wheels... and of course the V12 was the sexiest Jag engine. With all the modifications, improvements and enhancements To my way of thinking, this Jaguar would be the ultimate XKE to own. A car I could love as passionately as I did the originals, but being not original, an XKE that could be driven, instead of trailered. Jay sees something great and if can acquire it, he does. Great Car Great Vid, always my hero
"Man I want that car!" Just like Danny say's on Counts Customs!
I love this car. I see a Saab 93B in the background. Will you do a video on that ?
Can't believe the difference in the sound after it warmed up
YES! I've been waiting for this video! Xke is definitely one of my all time favorite cars!
The shop I work at has a 51 Austin-Nash Roadster that needs to be shortened and reworked like this Jag has.
Always preferred the mark 1 and 1.5 and thought the v12 had gone fat and soft but this one is the absolute business.
Do a behind the scenes video. Show your staff and what they do. (office, lunch room etc..) That would be awesome.
Such a cool vehicle
Even after it warmed up it was still missing.. Tune up time for a beautiful car..
Man. He's got so many cars I yearn to have. This, (one) Miura, the F1, '70 Challenger, etc. What a guy to have (almost) every one of my dream cars plus nearly countless others.
Beautiful car Jay. Love your show. But seriously, you need a roll bar.
The interior is my all time favorite. So is the exterior..
Just bring that over and park in my garage Jay. It'll be in good hands. You shouldn't trouble yourself with all that hassle of having it. I do however really like the 71 V-12 4 speed XKEs with wire wheels . Sweet.
On 4-2-19 Jay drove this car past my place in Studio City. I was riding my Motorcycle, a 850 Sport bike, and I almost ran into him! I yelled “That was Jay Leno!!” And I took off after him to get a picture of him in that beautiful car. He headed up into Mullholland Drive, curvy uphill roads. And he LOST ME!! I couldn’t keep up with him. That thing really moves.
Thumbs up to have Jay review the new F-type.
This car is fantastic!
Drop dead gorgeous. Looks and sounds delicious. Although I'd like wire wheels.
Funnily enough it sounds like a straight six does with big bore exhausts.
In a way it's like two straight sixes playing together.
Jagwaah lol. Great show as always!
Fantastic looking & sound. Thanks for sharing. ...I miss the "WELCOME to" intros. Thanks for sharing your awesome collection. :D
Yeah, I'd definitely have to do this to a V12.
I miss Jay doing the Burn Outs, I wonder why he stopped?
I had a 58 and a 60 jag. But just sedans but with quality.
Thanks for the F-type review, Jay. Sounds like it is a great "new car." The review is much appreciated.
Jay, please get yourself a jaguar MK 1 or MK 2. They are great cars and worth a segment on your Jay Leno's Garage. Please!!
I really really really like this one:) Always looking around in other vids from Jay if I can spot it:d
Thsnk You, Sir!
Fantastic looking Jag, well worth all the work.
got to love a top down burn out!👍
British sports cars are the most beautiful cars that have ever been made.
What a beauty.
The XKE's are STILL some of the most "Futuristic" looking cars, ever.
Nothing like the Italian tune up
That is one beautiful car.
i have an xjs....6lv12 with one off custom fuel injection head/marelli dual 6 ignition. 4l80e auto. damned thing is two tons(literally) of fun. wonderful sounds the jag engines make. only way i would e-type is if i found one i could build from scratch. a v12 would reside in it also. the jags come highly recommended if you like to tinker around with classic cars but not unless you do. as with all older british cars...they each have their own personality ;-)
...The rake of the windscreen is so much nicer than the coupe......It must have been cut rear of the windscreen but I don't get why the 'A' pillars caused an issue.....Were the doors from the roadster ? .....( they must've been,eh ).....There's a TR3A in British Columbia that was widened 4 inches and highly modified ( Randy Shultz of BCIT )...I love artists who work with cars.....
Jay Leno, you really need a race track
Goto 8:27 the engine is warmed up. Crank it up!
this is simply the most sexy car alive
FINALLY JAY REVIEWS MY FAV CAR !! Too bad it's custom
they show jay driving alone and cut to the instrument panel and lo and behold...theres an extra knee in the frame lol
If you go on the Jay Leno website and search through video history you ll find a vid on the SM
I can't believe he did a burnout in a XKE
I'd like to see videos of your homologated cars :D
This is the perfect XK-E. The one Jaguar should have built.
Jay Leno is the coolest person ever, just edging out Steve McQueen.
Still a beautiful shape!
