Having grown up with an E Type in the family I have to say, there is nothing like it when it comes to looks and sheer theatre. Thank you Petrolicious for another fantastic video.
Congratulations Kenny, you married your first love! It is THE car of your childhood dreams and you pulled it through to own it, but not only that - you stayed faithfully to it for decades! wonderful story.
Wow wow you reminded me of myself my father rest in peace Morgan owned 1967 series one 4.2 roadster with a factory, hard top original old English white me growing up as youngster used to play in it when it was parked up in the garage. Sometimes the key was in it when I turn ignition key and pushed the button. I remember what I loved about it. What’s the triple Wipes, i’ve never seen a car with free wipers and I knew it was special. It was a racing car made for the road, the dashboard the push button start. I remember I used to rev it up at a 10-11 I knew it was a beast It wasn’t meant condition, but it was a nice road Car I really miss it I wish I never sold it. Would you believe I sold it because my mum wanted it gone out the garage it was sitting in there for years and years. Would you believe it it was a series 1 roadster so much regret I think about every day or every other two days if I had it now and the thing is the bodywork was unbelievable. It wasn’t a rotten car. It was solid as hell with the money I’ve got today I’ll have to spend £70,000 make it mint never mind it’s gone now. The only thing I have left of it is the original glass that goes over the bonnet and the crime surround and original steering wheel hanging up in the loft. I also have the original heritage certificate. I will own another Etype one day 😂
This is truly a passion that no electric cars will ever get. I respect the electric cars and their purpose, but there’s nothing like an internal combustion engine roaring to life, the sound at each revs , the gears change, the sound of every mechanical parts in harmony... it’s just perfect and makes you feel good and one with your car. i’m glad to live in a world where we still have those cars around to give us that passion ! My ultimate dream car is the last exclusive manual supercar of Ferrari , the F50 and just thinking about it i hear the sound of the amazing 4.7L , 60 valves V12 revving all the way to 8500rpm 😍. This E-Type is truly amazing and i know why he feels like that for his car , he achieved his dream.
@lickmynuts alongtime Maybe he drove slowly for the purpose of the video. There's some videos on youtube from a man with the same name racing Ferraris...and not in a slow manner. I guess that is no coincidence.
@lickmynuts alongtime Maybe you're right in general, but maybe not in this special case. Just watch the youtube videos of that guy racing his Ferrari. Your first statement implied for me that your theory/experience also applies here...maybe I got that wrong. Still, I don't think your theoriy applies here.
Jag had it going in the 50's and 60's. I agree the xkss was beautiful. To my eye, the c type, D type, and low drag coupes are even prettier.I own a series one E type roadster and with the factory hardtop on, its just stunning.
@@dudley7540 yes, the coupe is where the design lines really are. There's a BLACK COUPE series one in the NEW YORK METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF MODERN ART. Enzo had it right. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR IN THE WORLD. !!!!! GLORY HALLELUJAH
being a car guy transcends all other traits that would normally be barriers. The 'I work on Wall Street' is a barrier that in any other situation would cause me to walk away, but I'd be able to talk to him about his models and his cool looking coupe
Kenny, I also grew up outside of NYC and attended the 1961 auto show with my father. (BTW it was held at the NY Coliseum, not the Garden) I would pour over the brochures and event book for weeks and months afterwards picking out my favorites; always British and Italian. I just sold my most recent 911 C4S and bought/restored a 1969 Sprite. Nothing compares to 60s era British sports cars for personality! Cheers mate!
Started out bad...I WORK ON WALL STREET, DB, then the car has a name, DB. As a car guy I've never understood naming a car, I mean, most are born with a name, this ones called the E-type. You've gotta love smugness during these trying times!
@@johnlockesghost5592 seriously, who in the F introduces themselves I work on Wall Street. Sure, I'm smug about not naming my cars and if that's the case I'm proud to be smug because I'll never do it but if it works for you, go for it😷
@@johnlockesghost5592 thanks for sizing me up Frank, your couch was pretty comfortable, how much do I owe you for the session here? I get a Discount for calling me an asshole, right? Does one go around speaking about their machine in public like it's a person? If so, expect to get looked at sideways, just doesn't work for me and millions like me.
@@johnlockesghost5592 Yeah, I really don't understand why he's so judgmental about such a seemingly trivial issue. If you don't want to give your car a "pet" name, fine, but don't think that those who do are somehow inferior.
@@klasseact6663 To answer this question: "Does one go around speaking about their machine in public like it's a person?", I do it interchangeably. My car is either a Gran Turismo Hawk or "Daisy-Mae". It hasn't attracted any odd looks so far to my knowledge, and even if it did, I'll keep on keeping on because that's what I like to do.
One of the top 3 rolling pieces of art IMHO. The other 2 being the 63 split window and the GT40 MkII. All from the golden age and never to be repeated.
Nope, none of those are "art". The Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 250 SWB, Alfa-Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale and Ferrari 246 GTS ALL look better than your 3. No comparison.
In other news, I would LOVE to have my 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk featured on here, and there is a great story behind it (my being a teenager who got it as his first car), but I'm not sure if Petrolicious would go for it.
it is also considered bad etiquette by any motorsport organisation to display race numbers on a car during road use. They should have black tape put across them or be removed
love it got to work on a few of these ,ive a poor mans e-type and have the same passion as Kenny the car and i have that relationship you dont need a rev counter ,cos you both know how much and how far you can go ,thanks for a great episode ,best regards to Kenny and Gwendoline.Oh ps mines called Katie....
Klasse Act you mean the passionate hard working enthusiastic successful chap, who can even pronounce Jaguar properly...I take it you jealous in your Ford Fiesta
You have created an orphan car. All that add on/swap out stuff you have piled on makes it so. Unless you rev the engine to 6000rpm 300bhp is just theoretical. Your Webers "pop"? Get them tuned/jetted correctly. You could do this stuff to a corvette and it wouldn't matter. Stick to wall street and all its huckstering. I watched this and it made me want to puke. And I love E-Types, I restore them for a living. Beyond that, I live and let live, it takes all types and all that.
people should be able to turn their own car into however they desire it to be, I wouldn’t do this, I believe that minimalism is beauty with e-Types, but whoever the next owner is can always turn it back to original. And this also comes from someone who also deeply cares about e-Types. I’ve seen piles of rust restored to their formal glory, this can be too. At least it isn’t sitting in a garage somewhere dusting away with 300 other pristine cars, it’s being driven and enjoyed by someone who appreciates and cares for their car.
The most beautiful car ever made, for me at least, would be the 1953 Studebaker coupe (Champion/Commander). That was THE CAR that convinced the American public that tall, boxy, and laden with chrome wasn't necessarily the best way to make a car. It was the Forward Look four years before the fact and it STILL gets no respect. Studebakers in general seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of collector cars, but come on! I do agree that the E-Type is a pretty nice design as far as cars though.
As they say looks are subjective. I've never been a huge fan of the way the E-Type looks from some angles. While I do appreciate what it look like for the time it came out and the racing pedigree I just think the car is a little bit overhyped. Any of the Ferrari 250 models even though lusso or the 57 Testarossa appeal to me on a much higher level. I believe when it comes to bat shape Dotson got it right with the 240 again just my opinion congratulations on getting the car you wanted that is such a good feeling
When I was working my way thru college in the late 60's I used to pick up money tuning other college kids cars plus working two part time jobs. One of the cars I got to tune was an XKE Jag. To this day I do not know of a car that has the lines and beauty of an XKE. Even Enzo Ferrari has said that the XKE was, in his estimation, a design that will never be surpassed. I would agree and put only the Cobra on par with its' beauty. Nice to see the Weber DCOE carbs; I had a Cosworth Vega #54 with the Bendix fuel injection....a miserable set up...and I replaced it with a pair of 42 DCOE's.....until you experience the moan of Webers whacked open, you've never lived.

@@jakekaywell5972 I'd forgotten about the Studebakers....My uncle had a Golden Hawk back in the day and I remember as a boy, thinking that I'd never seen anything so beautiful. Also, the Avanti, later on, had a mystique all of it's own and has really never been surpassed.....copied, yes. The dentist I went to in college had a supercharged Avanti that he gave me a ride in one the interstate....that made a lasting impression on me. I used to be driven to school in a Stude Champion....they were so innovative in their design parts, large and small. I wish Studebaker would have survived as their quality was exceptional......except for the cardboard/plastic cam gear that used to eat itself. A friend of mine droppen a 501 Caddy engine into an old Studebaker pickup...if it had wings it would fly...... To be honest, my old, black Cosworth Vega was a very beautiful car....especially when you wound it up and looked down that long hood....why did I sell?
@@tomnekuda3818 Ouch! I do hope you had fond memories with that Cosworth before you decided to sell it. It is also good that all those Studebaker memories were Stude-baked into your brain!

@@jakekaywell5972 Good luck to you. I won't even tell you about selling my RoadRunner (for a damn Nova) because I hate having tears on my keyboard. A fella has to work on stupid....it doesn't come naturally...
First time I learned about bitcoin and casino coin. I was at classics on the green, and an E type had a Bitcoin and casino coin symbol on the side panel. When I asked what that was the owner laughed and said. You are the hundredth person to ask.....I bought this car with casino coin. Insured it with bitcoin

Question, Kenny works on Wall Street but this video looks like it was made in California. just wondering if that's where he lives? Does Kenny commute cross country? Piqued my curiosity.
Kenny is talking about the E50 run. Which was celebrating 50 years of the E type. I was on it too. It was called the 'italian job'. Great trip. Last year they did a similar trip to celebrate the movie also.
Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 250 GTO are 2 of the most beautiful cars ever made..
Etype って渋くて格好いい。(=^ェ^=)
Don't forget the Miura, low drag e-type too.
Jose Martinez Japanese copies of the E-Type you mean?
When Enzo Ferrari tells you your car is the most beautiful car ever built, nothing else compares.
@@UpToSpeedOnJaguar Except he never actually said that.
Having grown up with an E Type in the family I have to say, there is nothing like it when it comes to looks and sheer theatre. Thank you Petrolicious for another fantastic video.

Two Jaguar E-Types, maybe even three.
The Studebaker Avanti cuts it VERY close for me.

So lucky my dad owned one big Fred from Jamaica
Thank you Kenny for sharing your love for the E Type, and for not calling it a Jag-WIRE. I grew up around NYC and I heard it called that a lot.
I have always loved the look of the E type. I built the plastic model of it in the 70's and it was always my favorite build.

I agree that from some angles, the E-Type isn't pretty. However in some respects, a woman's imperfections add to her beauty.
does every petrolhead have a story of when they were 2 years old and knowing which car they were definitely going to own?

@@jakekaywell5972 Good luck to you. I won't even tell you about selling my RoadRunner (for a damn Nova) because I hate having tears on my keyboard. A fella has to work on stupid....it doesn't come naturally...

First time I learned about bitcoin and casino coin. I was at classics on the green, and an E type had a Bitcoin and casino coin symbol on the side panel.

Question, Kenny works on Wall Street but this video looks like it was made in California. just wondering if that's where he lives? Does Kenny commute cross country? Piqued my curiosity.
Bizzarrini's .. yes he is a true petrol head
The 50 Italian job was the anniversary of the movie, not of the Jag, the biggest car in that movie is the Mini Cooper, both great cars
Kenny is talking about the E50 run. Which was celebrating 50 years of the E type. I was on it too. It was called the 'italian job'. Great trip. Last year they did a similar trip to celebrate the movie also.
works on the east coast but drives on the best coast.
Steve Bryan yeah something fishy going on here
@@hubbyofmad5122 Wall Street is shorthand, for works in financial markets. He lives in California.
The car is cool. As for the rest of the video...I'll leave it at that.
Chickens live in a coop! The Jaguar is a coupé.
Beautiful car but he's slower than a week in the jail!
