I'd actually love a drive of this car. My wife hired a Series II coupe for my 25th birthday and I really enjoyed that although the car was pretty tired and it was hard to find gears in a pretty worn gearbox. A combination of V12 and manual gearbox really is a recipe for success in my book, particularly in a car that isn't too heavy.
I've owned both my dream cars . You'll be surprised how humble they were . Triumph spitfire 1500 . And Ford Zodiac Mk4 3.0 v6 Essex executive auto . As I worked for Austin Rover I was lucky to experience many Jaguars but never owned one . Worked on and driven and enjoyed customers cars . Driven E types and xjs's and xj's from one end of the country to the other . And always thoroughly enjoyed them . I was also being paid ( bonus !) .. Often drove back in a diesel Maestro van . Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
my ultimate dream car is a Daimler 1990 Double Six SIII (XJ12) which i bought after years of watching your videos. she's currently under restoration/ this is my dream car. i had the chance to drive it and it was quite amazing, having elders giving me thumbs up .
Adam , you may be a 30yr old car guy but you're extremely knowledgeable when it comes to jaguars. You own a bunch of them . You look after more of them for other people . You also have a TH-cam channel which shows your passion and skill . You're also totally genuine and a gentleman . That's why this chap was more than happy to let you loose with his gorgeous E type . Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
As a child (too many years ago) my nose would stay glued to a Jaguar dealership window every time I went out for a walk with my parents and passed by. Maybe I had the spirit of an old man but I was in love with the Jaguar XJ; 20 years ago I was able to make that love come true when I was able to buy a Daimler Double Six SIII... and this love story continues today...
It's very obvious from all your videos that you'll take at least as good a care of someone's car as the owner would. If you wore your hat backwards, fixed everything with a hammer and did lots of burnouts then you'd present a different picture! I suspect there will be a lot of E types in your future. Great video, thanks.
Hi Adam Greetings from Australia again my dream car is a xj12c which I have just managed to obtain. It was a 3/4 finished project . Going well although many hours Hope to have it completed soon Hope your wife is OK Thanks for the videos Regards rob
I am lucky enough to have a 1966 E Type OTS & an XK 150 OTS which is still in the paint shop. I have driven a V12 OTS but unfortunately it was an auto. If you would like to drive my Jaguars and the other cars you would be more than welcome to come and visit us in Austria. I am subbed to your channel and there are not many people I would allow to drive my cars but the offer is there! Cheers Dave
Please ! Mister can l drive your cars as well !!!🤗 Nice thought Dave . I'm sure Adam would love to! ....l'm in the TR register and we own the very first RHD production TR 2 . If you're a member you can , by request , drive this very special car. My Grand daughter is patiently waiting to drive my "e"type .
Thank you for the great offer Dave! I didn't know you were in Austria, from watching your videos I thought you were in the UK. I may visit Austria sometime. My wife lived there for a while and we went there on our honeymoon. I think we'll go back sometime soon.
Adam, It‘s an open offer just drop me an email in advance of your visit. You will get your dream e type as your only 30 I was 55 before I got mine and nearly 60 before it was fully restored lol. Cheers Dave
That is what is so nice about enthusiasts, they want others to share the enjoyment they feel. I think what you were trying to explain about the gear shift is the travel distance from gear to gear? I recall it being a very long pull from 1st to 2nd. What a generous and fortunate owner.
Adam, this is a great video! Thank you for sharing. Your enthusiasm shone through your face and it was clear how thrilled you were to drive this wonderful machine. I, too, am lucky enough to own and regularly drive a V12 E Type and it is also my dream car. I have done all the upgrades needed to drive as far as I wish without any problems and simply smile and enjoy the driving pleasure that you showed so well. I'd be happy to let you enjoy my car anytime! I hope to tour Europe, extensively, someday and will be certain to make a stop in Sweden. I'm also sure that you will own a V12 E Type in the near future.
What a car. The E type has to be the ultimate classic car. Wonderful. I agree that sharing your car, no matter what it is, is one of the great joys of our hobby. So many people just wouldn't get the chance to experience some of these amazing historic vehicles otherwise. I'm always pleased when someone gets interested or even exited after trying a car I have loved too.
And THIS boys and girls is why you act like a grown up - so you can be trusted with nice things! Congratulations Adam! Thanks for the drive along and review.
I had my XJC Series 2 with me to work the other day and my colleagues - specially the ladys - where so exited about this car and fell in love instantly. So I let them drive it around the block, one by one. Just for the grin on their faces. And so did the owner of the e-type to you, Adam. Sharing such cars ist very satisfying for the owner, too. My dreamcar is a Mercedes Benz 300 SL Roadster. Drove it one time, but never will be able to afford one. Anyways, an experience I don't want to miss.
Technically it’s maybe not a “hero” V12 E-type because of all the upgrades from the 70s standard spec so it’s not surprising that it wasn’t disappointing. It’s great that you got to enjoy someone else’s perfect car when your channel started with and still features a beloved no-frills everyday Leyland era XJ6 with a constant trickle of jobs to do on it !
If you want a good original S3 convertible my neighbor Tom is selling his in gloss black in and out. $50k. It doesn't have your dream engine or a 5 speed and you have to ship it over to Sweden but it's a starting off point. Personally; I don't like the S3, too long and the front grille is weird. So I'm happy with my S1 1/2.
Nice video, Adam. I totally agree with you; The series 3 roadster is a fabulous car. Got a 74 roadster myself. It's a US car that I have fully restored and de-federalized. It's now in full euro spec with a lot of modifications to make it more reliable. I also got an XJC6 in the same colour as the E in this video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Norway.
I was holding my breath the whole video waiting for a deer to jump out. I'm so jealous!! What an awesome way to spend part of your day. Beautiful car. Wow. My dream car...Jaguar F Type from 2014-2015 with the supercharged V6. Convertible!
One sweet ride! Enjoy it! Our '52 XK120 FHC has that mile-long Jag hood on it, smallish car but all engine even with a 3.4L engine! Thanks Adam, hope your wife is feeling better!
What an exceptional vehicle! A relative had a 1973 E-type V12 Jaguar. Red, Biscuit interior. Convertible, like this. Nothing compares to a convertible, especially this Jaguar.
My Second ride with you Adam, nice I was just sitting in the Passenger Seat letting you do all the talking. what a car! my Dream since I was 9-10 also. the V-12 Roaster.
Hi Adam - I have subscribed to your channel and was looking at your earlier videos and came across this one. Like you I always admired the Etypes, particularly the Series 3 which are a bit more masculine than the girlie earlier versions. In 1982 when I was 27 I was able to but a Series 3 convertible very much like the one you test drove - my feelings are very much as yours were - and some 40 years later they still the same as I still have that car though it is now in for a full restoration. 6 weeks ago I bought a 76 XJC V12 and the first thing that struck me was how similar the cars felt to drive when I had the hardtop on the Etype despite their different front suspension systems. The XJC has had some little tweaks do the engine where the Etype is standard with its carbs - the Etype is definitely quicker but then it is a few hundred kg lighter. Yes that feeling that you get when you first drive a Series 3 Etype stays with you for a long long time.
This is # 2 dream car. Yes I drove one of these back in 71 when it was at the showroom in North St.Louis,Mo. My #1 dream car is a Lola MKIII B. I don't think that I will ever get a chance to drive one. Been dreaming about it since 1969. I would do a few things differently on this Jag but it's still fabulous. Don't crash it.
Great stuff Adam - I think we all share your ear to ear grin! My Xj-S V12 has the AJ6 inlet manifold and throttle mods as you describe for this car as well as a modified ECU and exhaust system to match. As you say the great thing about the engine modifications is that nothing is changed externally and everything looks as if it was factory original. Needless to say the performance is somewhat enhanced and I enjoy plenty of ear to grins. here´s to more of same! Best regards.
I did a lot of the mods on this e type on my Xjs. It made it a very fun car but I think I prefer the auto. Unfortunately the mods are very expensive now so I will have to keep my Xjs v12 standard.
Another excellent Adam. I must agree the opportunity to drive one must truly be a memory of a lifetime. My Jaguar of preference is the XKE but as yourself will probably not have the opportunity to own one.
Hello Adam . Dreams really do come true ! I'm sure l heard a funny noise coming from the engine ......l think you'd better give the owner a call and tell him you have to give this beauty a very extended test drive !!! You can actually still get "Standard " FHC 's for relatively affordable money and Series 2 2+2 's are relative bargains . A really good car sold for £25 k a couple of months back. ..... Keep the dream alive !
Yes! I suppose it is silly fast. Especially when you consider it in its time. Seems like reving it to 3000 rpm , it accelerate more than good and than after a couple of shifts, you're approaching elligal speed. Seems like autobahn were the place if one wanted stretch its legs a bit back in the day. 🙂
I always thought Jaguar made a mistake by not putting a loder dual exhaust system on its V12 models so they would sound like a Ferrari. The Jag exhaust systems on the V12's was too muffled and restrained for me -- far too quiet, almost like driving an electric car. That said, there is nothing better than the sound of a 6 cylinder XK engine with dual exhausts and glass pack mufflers.
Do you know if there are any good videos demonstrating that type of exhaust on the V12? Extremely curious Still only a minute into this video so I haven't heard what this one sounds like yet :)
That is a nice car, and generally I don't like modded cars but these are the right ones to do. The manual transforms an E-type, I drove a few auto (XK engine) 2+2s and there was a massive difference between the auto and the manual. I really didn't care for the auto. Are there many E-Types in Sweden? Since so many went to the USA, they seem to be rare in other countries. We tried to get 60 in our NSW, Australia based Jag club for the 60 year anniversary last year and I seem to recall we got about 50. Apparently there are about 100 in the club, although some of them don't get out very much. You'll have to find a series 1 or 2 to compare it to now. I have a series 1 and love it, although I've never driven a series 3 to compare. Mine is a LHD USA import, which is pretty common out here. Only mods are a more powerful cooling fan to cope with Australian climate, electronic ignition and a smaller steering wheel so my knees fit. I also changed the diff ratio to 3.07, same as the non USA cars, which is much better.
Adam Adam. Adam. Perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect. And to the owner perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect. Honestly bought a tear to my eye because perfect.
I love the V12 E type too my fav car by a slim margin to the Jaguar XJC. Can you do a vid on a XJC or the Daimler Coupe. If you can that would be fantastic
I agree that those cars are pretty tied. I’d love to own an XJ12C. I have a friends XJC coming here for a bit of work and I have a friend with a Daimler Coupe. There will be videos coming up.
I actually dont want a v12 e type ... I want series 1 or 1 1/2 with a 3.8 ( triple 40mm webbers ) and a GTJ 6 speed gearbox ... uprated brakes of course
These V12s can sound amazing with the right mods. Take a listen to the drive by at the end of Jayemms XJS video... th-cam.com/video/8NaQxnuEMAU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JayEmmonCars
With the skyrocketing prices of the E-type, I'm not sure he can manage to find one with barely drivable. Right now in EU the prices for a decent E with need of servicing are insane
What is your ultimate dream car? Have you gotten a chance to drive it?
I'd actually love a drive of this car.

Everything on these cars is a work of art, especially the noise!
That's probably the tidiest Jag V12 engine bay I've ever seen
It really is a moving work of art
You needed to mic-up the exhaust, to get the full effect of that engine...I didn't hear much beautiful noise at all.

Nice dream car! Was my fathers dream when they weren’t crazy expensive 30 years ago.
Beautiful car. The six speed transmission must be a joy to shift, unlike the old Moss 4 speed gear boxes used on early 3.8L E Types.

Glad you got one! They’re wonderful
I really think you like that car ! LOL
Wish my XJS V12 was a 5 speed manual. Nice vid thanks, it put a smile on my face.
Haha I think you’re right!
The 5-speed really suited the nature of the V12 very well
Thanks for sharing Adam
Glad you liked it

If u like tunnels, come down here to Switzerland and do a sound check 😎
I wondered why there is a blanking plate where the passenger side grab handle would have been. The swap from RHD to LHD explains this.
This is what life is about!

I assume it sounds better in the flesh. It doesn’t sound like a V12 on your video. Still nice car.

Your not any young car guy, you're a Jag enthusiast.
Well Adam, you definitely looked good in it, so, how long did you have that grin ? 🙂
Lucky man!
I actually dont want a v12 e type ... I want series 1 or 1 1/2 with a 3.8 ( triple 40mm webbers ) and a GTJ 6 speed gearbox ... uprated brakes of course
Nice car too
Always prefered the roadster to the hardtop... Look great in white...GN
They look great in white too! However I prefers them in a dark color like black or dark blue.
Is there a bad colour for these cars?
The white was always a popular E-type colour but they all get redone in red.
Primrose Yellow is also a great retro colour…
@@johnmoruzzi7236 totally agree John, it's actually Pale Primrose and I am lucky enough to own one in this colour, V12 Roaster.
V12 is best 👌
Hoovie just bought a 4.2L series 1. I had a '86 XJS. Is that V12 the same V12 in the XJS?
Yes it’s the same V12 here. An HE with injection
I think the engine sound of my manual BMW 635csi sounds better.
These V12s can sound amazing with the right mods. Take a listen to the drive by at the end of Jayemms XJS video...
th-cam.com/video/8NaQxnuEMAU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JayEmmonCars
ther is a ghost in back of you a the bigin of driving
Sell all your cars keep the saab and buy a v12 E simple. Saab for wife E for you done deal
With the skyrocketing prices of the E-type, I'm not sure he can manage to find one with barely drivable. Right now in EU the prices for a decent E with need of servicing are insane
Am not sure you are completely objective on this review 🤣🤣
