Jags were way ahead of their time in the 1950's, 60's, independent suspension all round, disc brakes all round, twin overhead cam engines, monocoque body construction with low center of gravity, smooth, silent and very fast! Sports car performance in a four door saloon. No live rear axles, no leaf springs and no ineffective drum brakes, we actually have roads with corners here in Great Britain. Cheers for the video though.
gjmob I got a few American cars that I’ll guarantee outrun any anemic piece of crap you own. I also have a European car. Only good thing about it is the gas mileage.
@@itsChris65 Prat? hahahaaaa! keyboard warrior over here, fellas. And yes, that Jag gets terrible mileage. SO other than it's stylish looks, there's nothing good about it. If it had some Corvette underpinnings and an LS motor, it could really be something. The original British gear is all junk. That especially goes for anything with the name Lucas on it.
That is an amazingly beautiful car - which is a very good reason for buying it. You should be congratulating your friend - not questioning his presence of mind. I did not see one speck of rust on its beautiful blue paintwork. On a car imported from England, that alone is remarkable.
Wouldnt be so dismissive of tools/grease gun instructions etc, they are usually very rare items in a car so old. It appears to be in astonishing condition, give it maximum respect, or, send it back home! We are very short of these, especially with wire wheels! Dont recall seeing one like this before and in that lovely blue!
Well I have that identical car. It looks to have been resprayed. The paint on the engine bay looks greener. Old red leather in that condition is rare enough, soft and worn. A bit of a tear but perhaps repairable. Timber could do with a re finish. All in all not worth a heck of a lot but could sell to right hand drive country. It is a pity since driving one of these is an eye opener. Sound great and very smooth. Thanks for sharing this video, it does help answer a few questions I had of mine.
A great way to clean and fix up the rusty original Jaguar tools is to soak them over night in this stuff called Vaporust. The guy from the TH-cam channel Hand Tool Rescue uses it for parts way older than those. They come out of that bucket looking almost new.
that may have been a grease nipple gun for suspension joints, just a guess... as a young boy I worked and played around many of these cars e types, s types, MK2 including unmarked high speed pursuit police vehicles for motorways, free ways.. etc.
I don't know who you think you are but your comments about this car just shows how ignorant and xenophobic you are - as for your "brake bleeding" comment you didn't even recognise a grease gun when you saw it. If that car had been a "yank tank" sitting in the open since the 1980s, and was a 1960s build I know that it would have no paint left on it and the vinyl would be trashed. This car had beautiful leather, and the paint still shone. Snide bastard!
Jarrett my friend, it may surprise you that as an Aussie we lost no war, the occassional battle maybe because we followed the Poms blindlessly. That being said, we supported you in Vietnam and in the Middle East, and in Afghanistan, and in Korea - all "wars" you lost.
David STOKES oh and here I assumed you were British. Just a roo-shagger though. Even worse. You asshats continually vote yourselves right out of having any type of freedom. In other words, you’re opinion is still worth nothing.
If that body is in as good as shape as it looks then that may be one great buy. But you ARE in hell as to all that crazy Euro/Brit parts that you have to try and make work. Never mind Lucas electrics "Keeping the world in the dark!" Could make one hell of a LeMons rally car tho'.
@@jstobbs6835 What a surprise,,,,that has been done to death infact that is all the yanks do. If you said twin turbo or super charger then it becomes interesting.
JagUar , correct pronunciation please. By the way that metal plate thing is for setting the camshafts in the correct position. That silver small thing is for setting the distributor contact points gap to 0.015" & the blade end is for the screw. Where's the copper/hide (thore) hammer for the wheel spinners ? . Cheers from uk.

Very rare and worth saving.
i kept my old calvin klein underwear for the same reason. never know what it'll be worth.
That basic engine, designed in the 40's, was left largely unchanged and so good they kept it through part of the 80's. Very cool and very clean Jag.
One of the most beautiful car ever made, shame you don't like it. At least your buddy has good taste!!!!!
Wow! Really impressed with how the body held up after 30 years. I imagine that it was stored inside?

That thing is beautiful.
Mmmm that red leather.
Nice solid 420, can't wait to see the transformation when you finished with it , good luck
Nice car and well worth looking after
now that is a pretty jag.
Can’t wait for Mr. Regular to have a look at this
What will The Roman come up with for music? Something Moody Blues based?
Clearly, the guy knows very little about Jaguars! Hopefully, he has learned by now!
That idiot can't learn. Too stupid to do it.
What a find - you don't know what you have !! the tool kit alone is worth about $500 on ebay, however, it should stay with the car. Stu
I knew they wouldn't do anything more with this car
Body and paint look really good,
Nice, 4200 cc with a lot of power
flat steel plate in tool kit is to hold cam in place to set the cams shims
To hold the cams in place when timing the engine.
Won’t be needing that after the LS swap!
Jump Forty Four exactly right about the cam tool , this guy doesn’t even know what a grease gun is , love those slimline bumpers .
Love the Delco FREEDOM! battery in the British car.

All those tools in the trunk add value to the car when restored. The snarky attitude isn’t appreciated. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Show a little respect.
Lol, what is there to respect?

You need to save the Jag mate
I'ts beautiful
Jag-warr, I can hear Clarkson now, haha
What beautiful condition the car is in just requiring plenty of elbow grease

yeah baby

that's not mine...
that sort of thing is not my bag, baby...
Why the hell are all these British people so pissed off?
They've been salty since 1776
Where's the follow up?
The tool kit is worth more than the car...
It´s a jaaaaag...!
Jaguar 420 blaze it.
yes thats right Jeffrey . mine is a ske
That's a great find! My question though is when are you doing another event with Lemon's or Roadkill? Love those vids!!!!
What happened with the Jaguar?
were they not all imported?
Obviously he means it was sold in the UK then imported privately. Hence why it's rhd. Not rocket science fellow.
Beautiful car, "fuckin dodads" - what you mean the spinner that hold the wheels on? Talk about casting pearls before swine
Update! update!
"Hammer off doo-dahs". I think you'll find they're called spinners. Also, British cars are not goofy, and Americans should stay away from them.
Blah blah blah, go brush your teeth you fucking twit
Uh oh, we found the Lucas nut swinger!
British cars ARE goofy and bad.
And the only thing British cars are good for is swapping American engines into.
@@wyattlewis8671 fuck up you prick.
No follow-up?
It's sitting in storage right now. Too many projects.
Looks cool, turbo truck cough cough

This guy shouldn't be allowed to be anywhere near a European car.
It's not by choice. I'm forced to be near it.
Jeff, he’ll do the right thing by giving it a healthy dose of AMERICA! Freedom and firearms, bitch! Start crying!
What a stupid comment.
You must be a Trump supporter.
@@calebneff5777 I was trying to match the stupidity of Jeff's Almost made it too.
They rarely comment in here so
Thats a grease gun, maybe they dont have them in the States
brake disc ha ha its camshaft aligmeant tool
Run a drill threw your frontal lobe & you will be fully qualified to repair any British automobile:)
You have a gem and you haven't got a clue. Leave it alone and sell it to a british buyer or european.
