Gentlemen, Thank you for an extremely knowledgeable show of the Jaguar E type marque which was very well presented and made me proud to be an Englishman!
This presentation is a culmination of many years of deep involvement in all things E-Type. I think it will become the definitive explanation of the evolution of E-Types. if you are intrigued by Jaguar E-Types - this is the Cliff Notes of information. An unparalleled and enjoyable reference. Great job!
Fabulous cars, as a member of the Jaguar car club of Victoria Australia l was present at a meeting some years ago where the guest for the night was Bob Jane a very talented racing driver in the 1960 s in Australia. He raced a 3.8 ltr mk 2 in the early 60 s. He bored the engine out to 4.2 ltrs creating a very fast car. Lofty England, Jaguar Cars racing manager at the time heard about this car and rang Bob Jane directly to ask him what he had done to the mk 2. The 4.2 ltr was released was released by Jaguar not long after.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME...FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC. Such a great presentation Donald. And Dean...awesome all around. Thank you for sharing your vast wharehoue of knowledge.
As Mr Enzo Ferrari was moved to admit, the E-Type Jaguar is the most beautiful car in the world! Thank you Donald and your special guest Dean Cusano for this dynamic presentation of this most worthy icon of perfectly blended art, architecture, and engineering, well done!
I live not too far from the shop and never stopped by I never realized the great work they did there. Nice to hear a true enthusiast ask the right questions of a true expert.
Really enjoyed this video, and to hear the American gentleman correctly call it a Jag-u-ar instead of Jagwaar was a novelty. Series 2 cars in the UK still retained the 3 SU HD8 Carburettors. Thank you.
Wifes name and pic. Mark here. Thank you Donald and your wonderful cohost Dean. Remarkably enjoyable tour through Jaguar history, seeing these fine examples and Dean's taking us through the evolution of each car with their varied differences.
I still think a Series 1 Jaguar Roadster is the most beautiful car and engine that was ever put into production. I was a poor college student in 1963--1968, so I missed the opportunity to buy one new.
One of the world’s most beautiful cars. I was 10 when these came out and the buzz they created, even for a kid in New Hampshire, was AMAZING! They looked like nothing else on the road and I mean that in a good way! Thank you, Donald for that trip back to an exciting time.
Hello Donald . Thanks to Dean for giving us a very accurate and passionate breakdown of the history of the "e"type . Your opening reference to Norman Dewis ' dash to Geneva had me head scratching . It was in fact the OTR "e"type that Norman drove 77 RW. Donald you're one of the few Americans who can pronounce Jaguar correctly .Thankyou ! And l'm still cross with myself for missing you at Goodwood ! 😠😠
Yes they’re talking about the triple wipers I thought when I first saw that as a kid on my father’s car, I thought wow never ever seen this before my father loved it. Raining he put them on they looked so cool
Wonderful. I desperately want an E Type (any series). This was very informative in laying out the differences between the 3 series. Don brushed past the English terminology (tourer, sport, drop head, OTS, 2 + 2 etc) a bit too fast. I could do with an explanatory chart for this. I love how the expert shares his love for each series and explains the differences and why they are improvements vice detriments. I thought Series 1 3.8 was the way to go, but, with the improvements, the Series 2 4.2 sounds like the more practical choice. For now I'll just have to enjoy my XKR and keep dreaming of E Types. Come on lottery!
Outstanding job by both gentleman. I own 5 Jaguars, 1 of which is an E-Type, and I've been a certified JCNA judge for over 20 years. Normally I find the so-called experts on TH-cam to being lacking in knowledge, especially about the V12 S3 Es. But I have to say, Dean really knows his stuff!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Wow, I know Dean, a friend of a friend. Our friend owns an E-Type since new, and his friend also owns an E-Type that he bought at the same time. Great Connecticut friends.
This guy Dean Cusano knows his E-types and in my experience one of the few people on that side of the pond or this that know what they are on about, particularly with the 1.5 nonsense.That my friends is what you call an expert. great an informative video.
When I was in college I saw an Etype on a used car lot at a remarkably low price. I stopped to check it out. When I tried to get in it the salesman said just to step over the door since they had lost the key. Having previously had a 63, I knew of the rust issues, and looked underneath. Sure enough the attachment point for the rear suspension was rusted through. The doors wouldn’t open because the monocoque was collapsing!
I want a series 1 1/2 (possibly 2 ), triple carb in grey ( or another colour, but please NO RED ) with a blue (depending on body colour, but what the heck ) roof, manual shifter, honest daily driver in Frankfurt Germany now ! : )
They are fantastic machines! Have you see the episode of Mansions and Motorcars in which Donald and Jay take a 1968 XKE for a spin? If not, check it out! We have a feeling you'll enjoy it! th-cam.com/video/QTHgH3PVXFo/w-d-xo.html
Series 1 mate 100% people went mad for them looked so sexy good looking. I was lucky enough as a young kid that my father and mother drove a Series 1 Roadster with our factory hardtop
Good evening, great interview📽, I may be your newest sub. ...My first new car ( at 20 years old ) was the 4.2 XKE 1968 Midnight Blue Roadster... 6000 thousand dollars from Jake Kaplan Auto, Providence R.I. ...Looking forward to Sept. 30th. ... ...Artist, Old Naples Florida🌴🎨

Yup
Ferrari never said it. It is a rumor with no credible evidence usually advanced by the British.
I live not too far from the shop and never stopped by I never realized the great work they did there. Nice to hear a true enthusiast ask the right questions of a true expert.
Really enjoyed this video, and to hear the American gentleman correctly call it a Jag-u-ar instead of Jagwaar was a novelty. Series 2 cars in the UK still retained the 3 SU HD8 Carburettors. Thank you.
E type has to be one of the sexiest cars of all time. Great lines and engine.
Love the long form deep dive. Would be neat to see this for more brands/models
Wifes name and pic. Mark here. Thank you Donald and your wonderful cohost Dean. Remarkably enjoyable tour through Jaguar history, seeing these fine examples and Dean's taking us through the evolution of each car with their varied differences.
Donald, go buy one! These are still affordable, kinda of...
It's hard not to like the E-Type.
I still think a Series 1 Jaguar Roadster is the most beautiful car and engine that was ever put into production. I was a poor college student in 1963--1968, so I missed the opportunity to buy one new.
IMHO still the most beautiful vehicles ever made.
The Spitfire of the Sport Car world. Moving Art.
There is a sportscar called the Spitfire..
Another great show. What a knowledgeable and charitable man.
It's E-Type heaven. One of the most beautiful vehicles ever produced
Thanks so much for this video. I love Jaguars and owned an XK140 and two XKEs. Wish I still had one.
You mean 2 Etype 👌👌
What a well informed interview

This is a joy to watch very informative. Can’t wait to watch again

ENZO SEZ!!!!!!

I remember a Walter Matthau movie where his character owned an Jaguar and spent a lot of time in the shop for "Carbon On The Valves."
That was a Ferrari 275 GTB:

DAMN this is a great vid
Just stunning automobiles great show 👏👏
These two seem like good blokes. Humble in their different perspective to Britain, where the cars were made.
This guy Dean Cusano knows his E-types and in my experience one of the few people on that side of the pond or this that know what they are on about, particularly with the 1.5 nonsense.That my friends is what you call an expert.
great an informative video.
Such rolling works of art.
Still my favorite automobile. The V-12 was so fun to drive.
First time I've seen this many without rust. Wink Wink.

Fabulous presentation!
Next year planning to restore my father's E-type, I will keep it on his honor!!
Got love for all xke's! Love the video!
The man's hand couldn't stop twitching a little nervous champ 🙃
Most excellent!
Wow, what a great video.

Older jags are epic! This is like going to church.

Amazing.. great hosts!
Thanks to Dean!
Series 1 mate 100% people went mad for them looked so sexy good looking.
I was lucky enough as a young kid that my father and mother drove a Series 1 Roadster with our factory hardtop
Love your videos. Why so few views?

give me the 4sp 4.2, 2+2 coupe/hardtop, glass covered headlights, please, thank you. ;-)
Pls cut out the Oh My Goods. THANKS!
But will any of them actually start? LOL.
They are all registered and run!
Just call them JAAAAAAAAAAG
And what did Enzo Ferrari say about it being the most ugliest thing he had every seen?
Pardon me but, Jag war. 😂
Get in the backseat and make love, not war ✌🏻.
