Most regular people can't afford to have a coachbuilder and an engine builder on one side of the Atlantic, build them a replica body and engine of a one off Jag and then have them shipped 5000 miles.
well, he didnt do it on his own. A lot of the work was commissioned out. Notice how he kept saying "we". Plus being a product designer Im sure he gets somewhat fat paychecks. Also what the previous comment said.
I don't think that he ever touched a single bolt on this car, but I'm sure he invested a lot of time into research and creating the concept. And the result is very pretty indeed.
Yes, I thought owner & presenter came across as just nice genuine people in love with what they do.....Love of a beautiful car & its features.. (So unlike the deluge of fat, silly-bearded, sweaty, stupid baseball hat, crap T-shirt wearing, multi-tattooed morons, who can't even make a coherent sentence without the "bleep"...that we have to endure on TV when talking cars! Just sayin'. Chill.)
The low drag lightweight is probably the most beautiful car ever made. When Enzo said as much about the E-type, he had to be referring to this one. Beautiful build!
toyota 2000gt is fucking gorgeous too. someone needs to do this type of build with one of them and the original hakosuka gtr but im with you pn that one. im depressed that ill never own something like this
I know RS Panels, they restored and looked after my fathers Aston Martin DB4. As a child, I loved going with my father to look at the amazing vintage cars that they worked on. Robert and his son James are real masters of their craft. It was a great surprise hearing the name RS Panels UK and seeing their current work :))
I don't think I would've bothered with a roll cage for two reasons. 1. I makes the car lighter. 2. If I were to wreck this car I would not want to live. Like a captain going down with his ship.
Richard, Sir Frank Williams (of the formula 1 team) would not be a quadriplegic had the car he was driving had a roll cage. So there's two ways to look at it. Modern roll cages are extremely light. Rough guess on the e-type, no more than 10kgs or 25lbs. But yes, l would probably want to kill myself if l wrecked this beauty!
"If I wrecked this car I wouldn't want to live." I laughed really hard when I read that. It's not a matter of materialism... we all know we can't take it with us. But what we drive represents what we're all about. If you have a dream where you're in a car, the car represents who you are or what you are what you do and how you benefit the world or not. For me, I once had it all. I had retired at 55. Then the love of my life for 22 years traded in her angel wings for a broomstick. ( now you know why I use hey Sam Kinison avitar.) I went from what my friends called a mini Mansion to living in an old motorhome and drove an old beat-up pick up until just a few days ago when I was able to buy a nineteen-year-old S-Type Jag with only 90,000 miles on it. There's not a scratch on it, or a crack in the wood and the leather doesn't even have any checking in it. It looks brand new. It took nearly a year to save the money to buy this thing. I have to pay extra for premium gas. If I have a repair it's going to be expensive and I have to park as far away from the Walmart entrance as possible and walk just not to have somebody give me a door ding. Why do I endure all of that? Because it makes me feel normal again. Just normal. Not pretentious, just normal. I guess that's why I found your comment so well-placed. Anyhow, whether intended or not that car is like an XKE on steroids. I've had five Jags... not that that met that makes me an expert, but the XKE is the most beautiful car ever sculpted and the S-Type though totally different with its classic styling comes in second to the XKE. If I could have any car I wanted and money didn't make any difference it would be an XKE. Of course the Austin-Healey 3000 back in those days where was breathtaking as well. Okay ....That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
@@johndavey72 ya, I think he was just trying to be funny. Pretty much so I wouldn't blame him if you did. I think I might kill myself even if he crashed the car.
Nice but the back isnt great looking..no.1 would go to a 1969 Corvette stingray coupe gorgeous from any angle next 1967 Corvette 3rd ferrari dino 4th e-type jaguar convertible..not the coupe. Cheers.
Nice work guys. You are about right on the power output for the engine; my AML DB7 i6 gave 360 to 380 bhp from a 3.6 litre straight six motor unit, albeit with a supercharger.
In a way,it looks very old fashion.Cars came a long long way from looking like it don't have much design.But this Jags design is shaped to the best design u could come up with from back in those days
He showed it at The Quail also which is where I saw it. Words can't describe the level of detail and quality of finish. Marco was there willing to chat about any and all aspects of the car, a great guy who was generous with his time and not super precious about letting people up close... even inside. Along with a particular Singer it was may favourite car of the show. Just incredible.
Eight years is more than just a labor of love. It's having care and devotion come so naturally that the work somehow becomes more beautiful than the car.
Art Hands down the best automobile profile I have ever seen in my life. It's like the original line design was drawn up in front of a wind machine. Absolute perfection.
This car is absolutely stunning. When you think of how long ago that look was originally designed, it somehow looks old-skool and futuristic at the same time. Beautiful.
Dry Sump engine, 45 Webers on Nikki Equivalent. I worked on private entry E -Type Jaguar entered the L-Mans 24 hour race way back in late 60s/early 70s.
A true work of art. The E-type was one of the most beautiful cars ever built no matter crappy British engineering. This one is a true masterpiece and I can very well understand it took 8 years on and off to build. It was worth waiting for. :)
This guy takes so much joy in talking about his car. But the joy you see on his face from the compliments he gets on it is awesome! When something works out so well as this car you can’t help but to be proud of kt
This is a very nicely detailed E-type Jag. My 1962 BRG 3.8 Coupe had, for me, an additional refined appearance with chromed triple wire spoked wheels that gave the car an extremely 'light on its feet and very nimble' feeling.....it was the love of my life for 6 years!
He laffs like "haha these lights are from a Chevy" like he expects people to think in a negative way. But dude! U built somthing amazing the way u wanted it with w.e. worked and made sure it integrated perfect. Like this build is a dream any real car guy/girl could only wish they could do. Amazing
Properly executed build, done with respect to the marque's heritage. Best of all no amps, subs, disco lighting, or courvoisier drink set in the trunk or passenger compartment!
this was my favorite car at Quail.. and having spent 5 years building my idea what a cool one-off motorcycle should be.. i have a small idea of what this man went through building his dream car. that.. and we spent 30 minutes chatting during Quail. Again, this was my favorite machine there by far.
@@d3tach3d Just like any automobile company in the world = the guy/company who pays for it to come into being is the builder. Chevrolet builds cars = factory workers rarely do a build on their own. It is like You (The hands on guy) work for the guy who built the car you worked on. If something happens you sue the builder/company, not the worker who did the hands on work.
I really take my hat off to your commitment to detail. You have achieved something really awesome and truly unique. I cannot think that it will ever be bettered.
Arguably the most beautiful car ever created. Definitely a toss-up between a 250 GTO, but damn that's gotta be one of the most beautiful recreations on the planet. Kinetic art at the highest level.
Stunning build! I cannot believe he sticks to the original brake system. These are notorious for creating all sorts of problems. The steering wheel turned out great. I usually prefer the original but this one looks legit. 👍
Wow, this video came out on my birthday. This viewing was an excellent present..Top shelf, the time, love and craftsmanship is exquisite. I love seeing something like this. Can't thank you enough. just excellent through and through!
There is nothing quite like the curves of a classic, this is beautiful car to say the least. I think the backend and "hips" of the car is my favourite part of the bodyshape, looks so damn good.
I got chills when he popped the lid on the sort of chest compartment that holds the air intakes. Immense immense immense attention to detail. Incredible stuff.
This man, is a artists he paints with metal. That car as he's explained was built from the original jaguar blue prints,and buy the person who original work on the car's from that era and all of the body parts all made buy British craftsmanship ! , could in years to come could be come a valuable car in its own write , the question is how long !? . It's a work of art , brilliant.
I've watched this video probably 15 times now. Gotta be one of the greatest builds of all time. Each time I watch this I'm blown away. He did this low roof Jaguar exactly how I would have done it, keeping it traditional. I couldn't agree more with him about sidewall tires on a vintage car. Anything bigger than a 15 inch rim would have ruined it.
This car needs more attention. Hope to see it on build breakdown or jay leno garage. Down right beautiful. So serious question. This is on singer Porsche level in terms of build quality imho.
So happy to hear his comment about sidewall. Agree so much. This car has arguably TOO MUCH sidewall, but I loathe and despise the "rubber band on a wagon wheel" fashion these days and can't wait till it's in the Dustbin of History.
