- I was going to look at a series 1 that has been on the market for some time that I thought was good value. To my surprise I discovered some very interesting other vehicles #thecollectableauctionhouse
thecollectable...
My husband was out in our MkV today. It was a wedding car with a fresh pink slip when we bought it. Put it up on the hoist when we first got it home & found so many dangerous defects my husband spent months getting it to a stage where he felt safe driving it. Its a beautiful looking car & gets along very well for a big heavy 74 year old car.
Wow, what a garage!
Regrettably, I’ve just had to sell my Series 1 4.2, gutted to say goodbye to it after so many years but it’s always wonderful to see a similar car. My absolute favourite model 👏
Thanks for todays video. Lovely old series 1.
Nice one Brett ... The S1 is sitting a bit low up front, the rear boot underside seems to not be correct, the weld points should be towards the boot floor, may be a panel patch, Shame on the oil seal leak, needs TLC and it's a stunner .
I don't think the chrome waist line is original , but it fits well with the car. Love the mk5... Must buy one I think.. keep up the good work
Thanks Pete
Yes, I saw those rivets after!
Happy New Year to you and wifey Brett I was half convinced you were going to buy the Jag you the man to bring it up to snuff look forward to your next video as always best wishes Andy Allen.
always liked and prefer the front dash lay out on the series 1 then series 2 & 3
Lot of car for not a lot of money. I had made an offer on this a lot earlier, unseen. Appreciate your insight. Still a good car and not far off the right price. (In my opinion. )
Hi Warren
I think 6 would buy it, but you would want to check that oil leak first. It may be coming out of the small oil pump hose to the filter with a bit of luck
Happy New Year. It's weird how it started without a visible choke. The chrome door strips are American car spec. The low front I think is a broken front coil spring. The lower rear panel looked like it had been riveted on. The front nearside tyre was bald. The brake fluid green colour reminded me of the old Girling green fluid. (It could be original and therefore not safe). You are right it probably needs quite a bit of work to make it usable again. Take care.
I think $8k pretty cheap for that. While watching I was thinking min. $12k. Had way more than $8k spent. I guess thought of engine out to fix oil leak was straw that broke camels back for previous owner. I thought she was a bit sagged at the front???? Anyway interesting exercise thanks Brett. .
My grandad had a pink series 1 with a pink interior much darker pink than that, and he said that was Heather? Like a Barbie car 😂 stunning!.. it was a uk car, so it will be long gone now 😢it says a lot when even in your climate, they rust. I'm definitely a jag man though xj especially
I love the Heather colour
Nice series 1 but I suspect it would take a lot to make it right.
I have a set of rhd luggage trays for under the dash….
Willing to sell them!
I think that car is long sold
But it's good to know you have them
THE FRONT 1/4 WINDOWS OF THE 1949 WERE NOT CURVED AT THE FRONT suggest later model or dood frames changed
Hi Peter
Thanks!
I would have no idea but will pass it on to Paul!
Happy new year
Same to you Mark
Happy New Year Brett
Same to you!
I was thinking a engine out for that oil leak.
Possibly
Hate the leaper on the Series 1 !
And the side strips !
The only good thing about the strips is as a guard against opening doors parked alongside.
As do I, just bought a ‘73 with a leaper, first thing I did was remove it….now I’ve got to fill the holes a respray the bonnet. 😢 Hoping to get away with just the centre section and blend at the section change
Nice xj6 I'd say $6*500
Agree!
That’s fair
What’s happening with the 75 rover ? You have some very nice jags
Sold! Check Fleet update!
Pre war vehicles are half the price they were 30 years ago because the people that remember them are quite literally dead and people born 50s onwards dont want them I'm 59 and I had a boss who cut my teeth on 20s and 30s RR Bentley and 50s 60s and 70s stuff as well
Another great upload mate.....you've probably driven all the XJ6s that have been made.....what, in your opinion is the smoothest most refined ride from series 1 to x308....? cheers...Happy new year Clive from Manchester
Thanks Clive
Hard call with the cars. they're all good. Probably the x350 has the best ride
Jaguars, when developing the series 1, put a tremendous effort into ride, handling and NVH, they would change the shore hardness of all the rubber bushing in increments of 5 until they got the balance right
