the Ford Mustang was proudly remembered when it's 50th anniversary arrived. the E-type didn't get shit. what Clarkson did was right. Clarkson disciplined the person who wrote the measly article, HARSHLY. and he knew how to. great work, Clarkson. great work.
Clarkson is such a tool but he loves his cars, hate that guy but totally love him too
Brown's Lane special🇬🇧
Jeremy Clarkson gave credit where credit was due. And, he made Top Gear a massive success. Thank you.
Especially when the ford mustang is not and will never be 1/100 as great as the e-type was.
The Mustang had the fit and finish of a Lada Niva.
"We really were as great as we think we are now."
Priceless. 😁
CountryHouseGent sadly true
won´t start^^
He is being honest about it. I agree with him sadly
Honestly.
But, it could be said for many a country on this spinning rock.
Brutally honest, both statements in that comment are true imho. My oldman worked for ICI back in the day and he took great pride in that.
The end gave me chills and I am not even British!
You mean when the E-type wouldn't start? ;-)
Brett Peloke If you're British, it should give you goosebumps.
I loved the spitfires
@@David-ud9ju and it did. Even though I've seen this many times.
There are a few, beautiful things in this world. One is the E-Type. Then there's the spitfire and the Concorde, who both used Rolls Royce engines. Especially the spitfire who must have the world's most noticable sound. The Merlin 😍
The blown 26L, V12, direst injection, quad cam, 4 valves per cylinder, aluminium block and it only been held on by 4 bolts to the spitfire.
I know the Lancaster had 4 but it just sounds like noises and you can't hear the beautiful sound of that V12 😍
Same here, I'm mexican.
"The most beautiful car ever made."
- Enzo Ferrari on the then new Jaguar E-Type
Ferrari was a real gentleman
nah you ass jag is ten times more remarkable
Henry Ford and Ferrucio Lamborghini beg to differ...
No he said that he wished he'd made it.

My top 3 custom rebuilted cars:
1. Eagle E-type
2. Singer 911
3. Alfa Romeo Disco Volante
I'm a muscle car fan, but I have to say that those 3 cars are, for me, the greatest achievments in motoring history...
+Marko Becić I agree completely; you should look at Superformance GT40's/Cobra's you might add another to your list ;)
+Marko Becić You have a very fine taste in cars, my friend.
+TraustiGeir Thank you very much :D
+Marko Becić how did you know that ? i was thinking of the singer during this
+Snazzy Snafu Or to a Shelby Mustang... :D
Jeremy loves his country, and I have so much respect for that.
Plus he despises Piers Morgan, which makes him top shelf in my view.
He punched him in the face once, look it up :D
Yep at some British Press awards show in 2004. Recently, Morgan called him a "pub bore." Well Piers is an elitist swine, so advantage Jeremy.
Rob Yorkshire BBC is very neutral, top gar just disrupt the balance, i like that
Ha piers lived in my village and went to my secondary school ha
Yeah, piers is just pure horrible human being
"It won't start." After all the fanfare and British pageantry glorifying this car, to hear this made me laugh.
And the self-deprecating humor is appropriately British.
Xen Yes, additionally, I was just making an observation that British humor is generally self-deprecating.
@Xen what, you mean that the Band, the planes with girls on them, the Spitfires, the marines sliding down the rock, the huge flag with "50" on it and the cars arranged in an "E" wasn't by chance? Oh come on 😉
That was the point
@@dennisbarnes9317 Nooo. Ya think?
This is probably the greatest Top Gear tribute ever made. That ending was just brilliant, esp the Spitfire and the Hurricane flying past
May's Porsche 911 by Singer is way better IMO
@@Ngatiatimothy Nah. It's missing the flair, flamboyance, and manpower. The Singer video was more camerawork than just lots of people converging on the white cliffs of Dover.
Clarksons Aston V12 Vantage. Not so much a tribute. But wow.
I liked the wing walker's but then I would cos I've done wing walking with that very team.
cody sonnet that was a really long way of saying the bf-109 had a better engine u could’ve just said that
That was so british it made me wanna conquer the Falklands again
Just wait for the Argentinians to fight back at what you said in the comments...
Oh blast...!
The ship won't start.
From what I remember, the Brits gave the people of the Falkland Island the chance for Independence. Which meant almost certainly would result in the Falklands being given back to the Argentinians. From what I saw on the News, over 99% of the Falklands people voted to stay part of the UK. Can't really argue those figures lol!
yeah lol if you yourself had to had to make the choice ?
Stephen Maine no. But the Faulklands government argued anyway
This might be the best Clarkson video on Top Gear, ever. I'm not from UK, but I still love it how he's genuinely enthusiastic and patriotic here. Wonderful tribute to one of the most legendary cars (E-Type) too. Great, great stuff. This clip definitely belongs in modern TV history.
Jeremy Clarkson, you were “the soul, the spirit, the beating heart” of all that Top Gear could ever be and more. What a great time it was for motoring🔥🔥🔥
This review brings me to tears, and then makes me laugh at the end. What a masterpiece of writing and filming.... LOVE IT and Clarkson!
The same here ☺
Even Mr Enzo said the E Type was the most beautiful car EVER!!!
Ahahah, "Mr. Enzo" X) Yeah, I guess he's the most famous Enzo so far
Has the Merkel Metall freak who always attacks Jags as crap died? I hope so.
Listen to them Merlin engines roar when the Spitfire and Hurricane fly over at the end. Goosebumps
When it all peaked with the glorious sight & melody of these Spitfire beauties in front of the white cliffs, I literally felt goosebumps from head to toes. Literally.
That Low drag coupe E type was gorgeous as well
The most beautiful car ever made, according to some Italian bloke.
I bet this was the best car for Jeremy to review, perfect sunny conditions, brilliant country roads and 2 legendary cars to test. How much I would have loved to do this
The greatest piece of television I’ve ever seen in my life.
If anyone is wondering, Jeremy literally just bought one. He posted it on his Instagram
An E-type or an Eagle Speedster?
@@Jusuff Eagle speedster
Excuse me, but I think my jaw fell onto the floor with that sound!
Like Enzo seeing the E Type for the first time, I'm being moved to tears here. Just amazing!
The Eagle Speedster looks like a magnificent blending of the E-Type and the XJ13.
indeed.
THERAZORKILLE Productions That makes me wonder, can the XJ13 engine fit in an E-type? That would be fun.
Agreed. Astonishingly elegant upgrade, not a pig's ear in sight. But then for £500,000...it should be.
I don't know if I would live in GB but you guys do have a shit ton to be proud of.
3:50 Heres a repeat button for that bloody beautiful noise :D
angedgangsta I wish i could swap this engine in my car :3
+Roubert Marvin Crosthwaite & Gardiner will build you one... but it'll cost you a LOT of money. Or you can buy an iron-block 4.2 cheaply from military surplus...
Roubert Marvin
Look up "J60 engine for sale" or somesuch - although they come coated in green paint, they're exactly the same engine as you find in an XJ6, so eminently swappable. Be warned, though, they are HEAVY, thanks to the iron cylinder block. Head is alloy though.
Good god old boy I appear to have something in my eye............. the best tribute ever I mean ever filmed well done Jeremy
I never thought much of the E-type until I saw one in person. They are beautiful. Something about TV doesn't do them justice. The Eagle is indescribable.
I live in Eastbourne and drive on those roads all the time...... awesome to see Jeremy taking an e-type along them!
The E Type is the most beautiful car ever built,
Absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on.
Huss Ali I totally agree with you there Huss Ali,
I agree, but I also agree with Jeremy. This Eagle Speedster...O-M-G.
YESSSS PLEASE !
only things I can think of that come close are the 250 LM, GT40 and Miura
I like the 250GT by Ferrari and the SL 300 by Mercedes better.
Have always loved the E-Type from the day I laid eyes on it as a 6 year old. To me, the most beautiful car ever built. Love that car so much I almost feel British!
As a schoolboy I fell in love with the E-type and had pictures of it plastered over the front of my school books. My brother-in-law wrapped his Healey 3000 around a telegraph pole and was looking for a new car; he looked at Alfas, Jensens etc, even a Sunbeam Tiger, while I was begging him to get an E-type One night he came to our house and told me had something to show me; and there it was 700 FVN, a gunmetal grey 3.8 coupe, sitting in the light falling snow with its three wipers going. We drove to a coffee shop and sat drinking coffee just admiring the car through the window. He owned another five E-types after that one, a 4.2, two Series 2s, and two series 3s and by that time i was lucky enough to drive the last one, another gunmetal grey coupe,V12 this time.
02:00
That shot and that music gives me chills every time.
I was hoping at least once he would mention the name of the designer. Malcolm Sayer, the father of E type deserves much more recognition.
No signs of JDM Junkies going on "lol gtr is better than this" anywhere on the comments section...
Thank the holy straight-six.
You don't have to be a "JDM Junkie" to realize that the GT-R is the modern day E-Type, you have a $100,000 car that eats Italian and other super cars for breakfast lunch and dinner, the GT-R has the same formula as the E-Type... A car that has better performance than other cars at double even triple its price.
Famous Gaming Well said bro
Well then the modern day Jag E-Type would be a Caterham, by your logic. A £25.000 car that beats pretty much everything on the track. Also, the GTR lacks the elegance, class, beauty and soul of the E-Type. No matter how you look at it, a GTR is not a modern day E-Type. Unless you're only talking about figures in which case you're just being silly.
Also, you missed the point of my post. I was making fun of idiots who go around car videos saying their GTR is better.
Well it is better :-)
No, the Eagle Speedster is the best car on sale today. Why? Because it makes girls orgasm just by driving past.
That ending was utterly gorgeous. The music. Dear god.
Perfect end of the perfect tribute to the perfect car.
Clarkson at his best; videos like this really show his passion for cars.
"The belgians have a urinating infant"
-Jeremy Clarkson, 2011
And yet it’s true. The Belgians have a weird relationship with statues.
I remember the first time I saw a Jaguar. I think I was around 13 so this was 1994. I was a farm kid from western Canada. We were going to the city on a Saturday and this big red car with big head lights came up like a shot and blows by us. I say "Dad what was that?" He say "that was a Jaguar." I say "that things awesome" he says "yeah and they have V12s in them." I was hooked ever since. I think it was a late 80s xj. I will never forget that.
This is possibly the best thing I have ever watched.
I stil love this video, and especially how ridiculously over the top the finale is :D
Clarkson has got to have got inspiration from Hughie Green's last episode of Opportunity Knocks....for all you children out there, the grand daddy of Britain's Got Talent.
I think this video could easily pass as the best tribute to a car ever.
The Hurricane was the backbone of the battle of Britain and i love it, but man does the spitfire have some beautiful lines
"It won't start"
LMBO!
I'm British only in distant family heritage, never even been there before, but this was so incredibly awesome and patriotic that I couldn't help but grin like a little kid. And I'm American, so that's so blasphemous that it's practically unspeakable. The people of the UK have a lot to be proud about, from the country to the E-Type's legacy; even if the latter sometimes doesn't start. :P
The Spitfire and Hurricane flyover gave me chills, it’s a throwback to when Britain really was a force for good.
I agree with jeremy clarkson. The eagle e-type speedster is the best looking car i've ever seen.
Jeremy.... Where to start sir... You are truly an insipration to the car industry. Your truthful and honestly the best car presenter that we have ever had. we look forward your trio specials in the Grand Tour. Much love from your fans always. 'Insert in love face here'
I’ve watched that lots of times and it still gives me goosebumps every time a true British icon the Eagle speedster to me is the most beautiful car in the world
I did cry watching the video and the magnificence of the car and how good it is until the price came in to picture
"To remind us that once upon a time, we really were as great as we think we are now". That actually gave me goosebumps. E-type is truly the greatest car ever
Now England is a poor European Country ~ cuz they can't even heat their homes in the cold winters😂😢!
Best episode. A work of art. Thank you Jeremy.
Whoever designed the E-Type had a serious crush on Sophia Loren.
And on that bombshell,
"The sound of Britian in the Sixties: ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding. Made in the Midlands with pride."
I had massive goosebumps when that hurricane and spitfire flew past, that is such a great noice and view
The sound of both the Spitfire and Hurricane flying together over White Cliffs of Dover... wow. Just wow.
im british and jeremys speech made me feel so patriotic, Rule brittania
Goose bumps at the spitfires!!!
I have never seen Jeremy this happy
As an American, yes, yes, double yes...this Eagle speedster is the most beautiful thing on four wheels. This how the Jag E-type should have been.....without all the tacky chrome bits..........a pure shape....It kinda shaped like a Woman isn't it?.....the best shape there ever was...
I would love to know WHAT in the British mind OF the person designing it, allowed that person to design such beautiful qualities / features in to it? There is the MG, the Aston Martin, the Jaguar. I am American & find those interior designs to be amazing! I LOVE a manual gearbox being in ANY car but the LOOK of the interior / instruments is unmistakably British. . . . . . . .like the "Queen's English" is almost poetry just in the sound of hearing it.
I have to agree wholeheartedly with Jeremy. The original e type and this new re imagining of the original are absolutely gorgeous things to look at.
Definitely right up there with the art on wheels that came from America in the 1930’s 40’s and 50’s.
The eagle even has pearlescent. I am with Jeremy I would want one so bad.
not only the "The most beautiful car ever made" like >Man from Nantucket< below quotes Enzo Ferrari but also one of the greatest broadcasts Jeremy Clarkson has ever made! The ending - Grooooßartig !!! 😁😁😁 Best from Germany
That lovely sound coming from the exhaust should never be called a "noise." Nope ... never a noise.
What's the closest equivalent to a modern E type other than the speedster? I personally think it's the Jaguar F-type.
What a great and epic ending :-) when i was thinking to my self: damn they forgot the spitfires and hurricans .....i got surprised. glad that top gear didnt.
Was never the biggest Jag fan, but my God the E type is one of the most beautiful cars on this green Earth. Right up there with the Miura.
Me + this car = Woody!:)
The fly-by by the hurricane and the spitfire gave me chills. I’m not even british
It’s impossible not to smile when watching this
Superb. The Best of British, and across all of history that is a pretty impressive list. Even the humourous self-deprecating irony at the end is something truly unique and special.
France has a pylon ;-)
"The Belgians have a urinating infant..."
The Jaguar E-Type has to be one of the all time greats. One of the most aesthetically pleasing and breathtaking automobiles ever.
Best scene in Top Gear history.
My god, that car is just amazing. I love the sound i can't stop my self from listening
to that noise.
A masterclass in tv presentation
There’s tears in my eyes for my beloved pre-woke Britain.
God bless Jeremy Clarkson and all who sail with him.
Jesus, those jags are beautiful!
What's the music that starts at aroud 1:09?
This is motor journalism at its best!!Never in the history of mankind will it be the same!!
That's why we love Jezza: He can do scenes that are deeply impressing.
What an absolutely gorgeous car!
The Mercedes SL300 was a dream back in 1954 and faster than the E-type. However, the E-type is stunning even compared to all other cars ever build since.
This was absolutely brilliant! The comments are priceless as well!
The E type Jag is such a beautiful car.
I love the E-Type. Some people in Berlin own this beautiful car and drove through the city, very british.
This car is a dream, my dream!
Greatings from Berlin! 🙋♂️🍀👍
I'm not into cars but bloody hell, this car is stunning
Not a Brit, but couldn't help feel the enchantment one must feel when seeing such a film.
3:50. You're welcome.
The last 2 minutes might be the best 2 minutes ever on TH-cam! And the car not starting 😂😂
The icon of Britain is a car without a roof...that won't start? Not really.
The icon of Britain is its sense of humour, the reason why everyone comes together and sits through an advertisement for a small rock off the European coast. Because no one does humour like the Brits do. Never stop doing it. And tea.
That ending was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen
I love the E-type, the Eagle, and Top Gear. Best video on youtube? Now if only these things actually worked properly...
Tony Curtis drove one in the 1964 movie Goodbye Charlie, sporting white wheel tires.
Jeremy im from the us and i am colombian and that ending almost brought a tear to my eye that was beautiful :')
2011 Season 17? Oh my lord I feel old. I mean in my mind it was only yesterday.
The sound of those splitfires
notformebeaky Ahh yeh I see that now. Cheers :P
This is so British it's colonising my phone.
The Eagle Speedster in British Racing Green is the best looking machine ever created.
What a rough hooligan that man is.
Jeremy is a national treasure.
Father Time Shame people don't think that because he punched an idiot and because he disagreed with their opinion and view on a certain thing....;)
I already adored the E-type, but after contemplating this piece of heavenly machinery on such nimble, utterly beautiful dress...Oh, Gods...
Well,If I was to choose my own very end in this planet...Here´s THE plan:
I´d make love to my wife by sunset,and after the finest goodbye dinner, I would just drive the hell out of that device on a long coast winding never ending road. When exhausted of the eternal experience, I´d order a burial such as me sitting at its wheel in a block of perspex making sure the taxidermist crafted his best at resembling the last grin of joy on my face.
By the time they digged me out in 10,000 years, next generations will understand the epitome of happiness and what it looked like in a common pal a hundred centuries ago.
Oh, you...Such beauty, such driver´s chimaera...
I think Jeremy should have this half a million
This was so British, most people probably didn't even recognize the Breitling airplanes featuring the name of a Swiss watch brand
The best thing Clarkson did on Top Gear imo.
"The E-type doesn't even know what a minivan is!" 👌🏽👌🏽
