Hammond absolutely loves his Series 1, we need to unite yours and his somehow!
That would be amazing to see.
I would love to see this
My question is when is a big cartuber gonna get a 240z in midnight blue?
It sounds like a scene from Anchorman. "Team unite".
Cannot believe Drive tribe has commented on Hoovie! What a world
Make this happen
Hey Tyler, love the car! Me and my dad have a Business here in the UK specialising in all things E Type, restoring and repairing them so if you ever need advice or parts even let us know! I agree with what you say about original survivor cars, there is some magic you can’t restore back into them, nothing drives like a good E. Also I believe with your car being a US example it’ll have the lower ratio LSD making it more accelerative at the cost of top speed. If you wanted to check the body number there is a little tab behind the left hand boot panel with it on however it’s not un heard of for these to sometimes be different in true British fashion 😂. Best wishes Tyler you deserve all your success.
I liked and commented to hopefully push this one further up.
Me too.
Me three
Pin this one! Tyler will need the help.
Hoovie needs to read this.
Great, great video!! What a find. I drove an E-type back in 1972. My boss wanted me to run an errand so he let this 23-year--old take his jag on the freeway around Columbus Ohio. The experience was uncannily like driving a four-wheeled motorcycle. A four-wheeled Dunstall Norton Commando. No muss, no fuss, no histrionics, just give it a little gas and watch everything disappear in the rear view mirror. So incredibly cool. Never forgot that ride, thanks for the reminder!
I've owned a whole lot of cars but my '1966 E-Type Roadster" was one of the top three most memorable and it was undoubtedly in the top two of the most beautifu. Even after 50+ years, these cars still look fantastic. I purchased my '66 in Germany while stationed there in 1969. It was on my base with a "FOR SALE" sign so I contacted the owner and traded him my 1969 Simca 1200S plus $350. Being 23 years old and driving a Jag around Germany was unreal and I loved it. I shipped the car to New Jersey where I was discharged from the military and drove the car, without incident across the USA to California. That was one of the most memorable times of my life. The top was down the whole time. Stopped in Denver to visit a buddy I was stationed with and spent nine days with him. The long and short of the story was I found out why Jags have the reputation they do. As beautiful as they are, they are crap for reliability and maintenance. Rust, electrical, mechanicl and structurally they will get you and get you good. The "fun" factor gets a score of 100 when it comes to driving them. The "looks" factor gets a score of 100000 when looking at them. The score of maintenance is truly "off the charts" as you will soon find out. To own one and maintain one has to be a labor of love that is blind. I found out very soon in 1970 that I couldn't afford the car so I traded it for a 1969 L-71 427/435 Corvette with under 4000 miles. I still own and drive that same car today. It's every single bit as good looking and it's very maintainable. My 'Vette has 180,000 miles and is still going strong. I hope your "new" Jag gives you that much service. Drive it. Look at it. Enjoy it. I truly understand why people "love/hate" these cars. Can't wait to see what "weezard" has to say about it in three months. Best of luck.
Like many as beautiful, they are capricious. It's part of the magic. So wonderful and enviable, yet almost untenable no matter how rich and patient you are. A friend discovered a professional top consultant he sometimes managed to hire was selling cheap a wonderful 12 cylinder , his dream coupe. He was ready to sign a check after seeing the car. But in a moment of lucidity, he asked 'Oh, come on, why are you selling it? Where is the hidden problem I cannot find?' The affluent pro replied 'The car is perfect, no rust, few Kms, I am the original owner, but I cannot afford it'.
Any cars that spent time in the UK are just waiting to rust, badly. Salt is used on the icy roads during winter, not grit. The salt is paid for by the British Auto Makers Association, (or similar) guess why. They tried the same trick in NZ but were foiled by objections to salt ending up in our streams.
@@howardsimpson489 These cars don't actually need "salt" to rust. Just water. If a company like Lexus decided to produce this exact car, I'd be the first in line to buy one. Imagine those "Hollywood Good Looks" with the perfection it deserved.
In 1961 on the road serious 1 E type 3.8 £ 2.089 Sterling .in USA same car $ 2.491 . to keep the price down there was NO under body protection so rust caused by just water eat away at them never mind in the UK they spread tens of thousands of tons of salt .as some one mentioned deliberately done so you had to keep buying there cars 😂😂😂
Whilst
I don't own an e type but I still have my 50 year old xj6 however. It is extremely reliable, the electrics and mechanical stuff need less maintenance than my 1964 mercedes w110 200d but then I do maintain it myself.
Hoovie, I was 8 yrs old and my grandfather had just purchased that car in Red/black top. He lived in Edmond at the time. He took me for a ride, turned out on Memorial, which was basically in the country at that time. First time I had ever gone over 100 mph, needless to say, something I will never forget. Thanks for the reminder and what a beautiful car, enjoy.
Perfect and the white wall tires fit so well
I'm going to assume you're talking about Edmond, OK. Both of my parents grew up in Edmond in the 60s and anything east of Bryant or south of 33rd was "out in the sticks" considering how small town was back then. I-35 had 4-Way stop signs as did what is now Broadway Extension from Edmond to downtown OKC. I still remember in the early 90s when there was a small grass airfield on the SE corner of 33rd and Broadway, and either side of the train tracks from Memorial to 15th was farmland.
I can picture your grandpa turning into Kilpatrick and letting the cat roar
Edmond as in North of OKC?
Nobody is gonna say anything about soft switch 87?
Totally worth a mild restoration. Stop the cancer before it gets way out of control. Remember paint hides all sins !! The world's most beautiful car of all time deserves a $10K paint job and body repair.
Yeah that outer door skin is already done for, by the time rust is poking out through the paint all the way along like that it's probably too far gone to bother trying to patch if you want a decent result. Hard to tell on camera but the rest of it looks salvageable without going OTT, if it's done right now.
10K Won't get it done. More like 25K
Well said.
Totally agree. Softly, softly approach, give the old girl the refresh she deserves
The worlds most beautiful car of all time is the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. Jagwires are cool too.
I know you have had SO many cars, and many absolute gems. But this…this is a car I hope you keep for a long time. What a work of art.
Agreed. One for the hanger!
2023: Hoovie sells Jaguar to buy the lowest-mileage V-6 Fiero in America.
You are Never the owner. You are the caretaker of a car.
The drone work is stunning Tyler ! We need to see more of this E Type from above. And others in your fleet
Friend of mine, (sadly passed away 2020), owned three E-types in the 60/70s. I went with him to pick up the first one, a Coupe. He traded-in his MGB for it. Car was at a dealers in New Cross Gate, London, and we had to get back to Basingstoke. So we drove back along the Old Kent Road. After about a mile he said to me, "Frase, I can't get it out of 2nd", to which I replied, "Oh No, is the gearbox knackered", to which he said "No, its just so fast !!"
Next week:
Tonight, on bottom gear!
Hoovie gets a 68,000$ repair bill,
Wizard Buys the entire state of Kansas,
And Euroasian Bob acquires a repaired Mk.1 Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaag at a steal of a price!
I think Bottom Gear would be a good name for a YT channel that does revivals and affordable restorations.
Soon the wizard will be king emperor supreme of the United States
Almost perfect, but you need to elongate the jaaaagggg, as Top Gear always did. ;)
Done and done. Couldn't agree more ;)
It's worth 20 Corvette rubbish
One of Tyler's best videos I can remember, certainly in 2022. The music, the lighting, the burnouts, the aerial shots. Everything was well done.
Everything except the burn-outs. You don't do burn-outs with a car at that age and with such a stylish icon of that time.
It's not just a car though, it's a work of art, it's a piece of automotive legend, it's an achievement that has never really been equaled by the British motor industry since, a car that is more than a car, as Clarkson once said of an Aston Martin once, its 'bite the back of your hand beautiful'. But more, so much more.
Ok, when the camera was doing it's sweep around the front and side of the Jag and then continued, I realized I was on my second deep breath in breath out experiencing my astonishment of this car. What a beauty and British racing green too.
The fact that you found the original owner's skeleton in the trunk adds immeasurably to the prominence.
Congrats Hoovie. You are slowly acquiring all the holy grail cars and that is an amazing find. The XKE is unquestionably one of the most beautiful cars ever created.
My era.
That's a stunning set of wheels, and lovely to see you genuinely enjoying it so much. The very of British to you and yours from over here 🇬🇧
Just seeing all that love this car had with his first owner almost made a tear come out. What an absolute jewel of a car. Please keep it for as long as you can and keep it really well. It was someones treasure.
This has to be the best car you’ve ever bought. A perfect car in perfect spec, the right colour and wheels on an S1. Please drive it just as the previous owner has quite clearly loved it. Its a car which the kids these days will never see if owners just locks it away to be preserved indefinitely. As a brit I love to see E types every now and then but they are never presented like this. PS, I’ve seen E type number 1 in the flesh (as driven by JC in the top gear episode) and it has to be the most beautiful thing in the world, same S1 in british racing green with wire wheels. Favourite car in the hooptie fleet
100% agree, out of all the ones he has, this one is the best, and at the best price. I could see this car selling for 90 even with the issues. The ability to daily drive and not worry about losing value would also make it the funnest to drive. The 300 SL is great, but if you had one….would you drive it to the store and leave it?
But big paint chip on front. Just winks at you.
AFREE!
You're right, the colour is perfect. The engine patination is gorgeous too.
next week: everything wrong with the cheapest E-type in the USA.
Wizard goes shopping at Boeing for a business jet.
😅
😂
LMFAO! Ded! Ded AF!!
I figured Wizard would be shopping for a servant at this point
Sure. Gotta have some way to buy that 3rd Yacht and 1st jet.
One word to describe the E-Type Jaguar -----Beautiful , thanks for a wonderful intro & burn out !! FYI the Thor hammer is copper & Hide ( leather ) I used them all the time in England , I was a maintenance Engineer at Lucas Aerospace in Birmingham :) . We can join the Wizard in drooling over your brilliant E-Type .
Hello, we use the rawhide hammer in the US for working on marine engines (like Evinrude/Johnson and Mercury/MerCruiser)
It makes we happy to see someone really appreciate such an amazing car with great heritage. I think you are the right guy Hoovie to enjoy and maintain a series 1 E-type. As an aside, had a S1 XJ6 and loved that car. Eventually i'll get another, but loved replacing a turn signal light and seeing "Made in England" on the taillight lenses. - Enjoy
I truly believe you hit the jackpot with this Jag! Slowly bring it back to original and enjoy the hell out of it! Congrats man! Never part with this one!
Personally I love the Patina. And connection with the original owner who cared for it so much. Only things I would change: the roof seal and the tyres. Maybe the seats, but they look really nice and last. And what the Wizard recommends of course.
I agree with you on making it a keeper. Why ever sell it.
All it needs is the roof conversion
We know that patina can degenerate into rust and rot. But your car’s patina has taken 50 years to create. Don’t lose it.
Man…can we take a moment to appreciate Hoovie doing a burnout & clutch drop in a 60 year old E-type. Fortunate people that own these beautiful vehicles would never in 1 million years do that. This was F**KIN Monumental. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
XJ12 does good skids..;)
I think top gear damaged one they borrowed driving it harder than this.
Man I love this channel. You always blow my mind with the cars you pick up and the effort you put into your videos! For years you've never ceased to amaze me, thanks for the good times Tyler :)
Getting that "one thing" that just puts you over the moon is such a wonderful experience, it really is, and I'm so happy for Hoovie that he gets to experience that with this wonderful car!
As a Brit I was happy to see you enjoying one of our old sports cars. Also appreciated the reference to our country's recent bereavement. Enjoy the Jag!
I generally don’t get excited about old cars, but the Jaguar here is an exception. Hoovie, your excitement is contagious, and I’m right there with you on this old girl. The meticulous records, the patina of a machine well loved and maintained are simply astounding. Congrats to you and I’m excited to see the follow on videos around this beautiful car. Cheers.
It is impossible for me not to grin from ear to ear when you floor it the first time in this vid! Great camera work and fitting music - nice job.
Hi Tyler, from Sydney, Australia I'm glad you have found this Jag , now a 66yr old I have driven a 4.2litre Jaguar since I was 19yrs old, so a while now. AND THERE IS -NOTHING- like a 1owner LOVED 4.2litre e-type, or, it's big monstrous brother the mk10 or 420G when BMC-Leyland bought the controlling shares they re-named them. I've owned a 1965 4.2 litre mk10, for 9 years, when 19, after 5 yrs ownership I bought a super rare series xj6 4.2 Long Wheelbase car , as out of 98,000 series 1's only 2600 body shells were the LWB cars , owned it 32 years and sold it as I bought 10 years back another 1 owner 50,000mile 1967 420G (mk10) . ALL 3 were sought out the 2 x mk10's were the ultra high output bronze head(engine) basically race spec engine , the 1973, but completed 1974 LWB 4.2 xj6 was a custom order car too built by Jaguar Racing division .
With the UHO bronze engine heads , they have beyond 300 horsepower, I'm a doctor, the 2 x mk100's were also owned by doctors,. I love the drone from the factory stainless steel tuned exhausts , in 2nd gear they have a wonderful , powerful drone that makes the spine tingle , and , life worth living .
There is just something about an old Jag. I'm a Mopar guy at heart, but I love every jag I've ever had my hands on from the 60's up to the early 2000's. They are just full of so much life, and charisma. They feel like they have a soul of their own, and some people just connect with those souls on a molecular level. There is just no explanation other than feeling it for yourself. I truly pity those who haven't, or can't feel that mesmerizing connection.
I’m with you. I found a 1997 XJ6 L. At 100k miles. Beautiful engine, Road comfort and freezing cold air. Enjoying the heck out of it ❤
I can attest to this that's why I still have 2. An xk8 coupe and a aluminum xjr
Nailed It !
Right person to get the right car and appreciate it the right way! I really hope this stays in your collection forever
Wonderful. Simply wonderful. What an incredible car. My grandfather had a series 1 and my uncle still owns it. This video brought me so much joy. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us.
Tyler - This is my all time favorite car ever....I'm so excited and envious at the same time. I also realized that now you have owned all of my dream cars at some point. This is without a doubt one of your best purchases, I don't understand why someone would let it go at that price, if they listed it on BAT with all of that history, they would be looking at 6 figures, easily.
This was the perfect video to use the drone for the overhead shots, amazing footage ! What a great Jag !!
Holy cow Hoovie, you keep buying cars and I think “this is definitely my favorite of your fleet”…. And then SOMEHOW you get something even better. What an amazing machine!
Props on the camera work too, those drone and in-car shots look great!
This one's going to be impossible to beat!
I think Hoovie needs to visit Jay Leno Garage
Awesome wizard is going to love working on that Jag!
Yes! Perfect colour combo and great example. Better than any Aventador or Chiron. So much more class, and being driven how it should be. Congrats from the UK!
You are right, I love my aventadors or chirons but I would pick the E type all day, just as you say its way more classy and baller to drive an e type then a aventador or chiron.
I watched this with a tear in my eye. My maternal grandfather had a Series 3, v12 hardtop. He passed away at the age of 42 in 1972 and the car was sold. These have always been my unicorn car. I hope she gives you years of enjoyment and that the fun never stops.
Lovely to see you so genuinely excited, it honestly is.
It’s not even my car but I’m smiling the whole video. OMG this is wonderful.
Same!
In the first few minutes, in your garage, i realize that you now own *two* of some of the most beautiful cars EVER made.
This Jaaaag and then upstairs, on the lift, that stunning C2 Stingray, one of my favorite cars ever built. Yes, i am officially jealous.
Well keep watching hoovies videos and you can continue to make HIS dreams come true...not yours, his.
@@born_again_torinos ok?
I agree with you on the Corvette but that Vanquish has to be right up there too.
@@born_again_torinos no shit that’s how TH-cam works😂
He just needs to get an old Cobra to put next to them and he'd have the 60's trifecta.
Thanks Tyler for your respect to our beloved HRH Queen Elizabeth II. We in the UK (and I'm sure the rest of the world) are still very stunned by her passing as the majority of us have not known anything else in our lives to be so consistently present.....The E Type is beautiful. My uncle used to own a V12 in Cherry red in the 70's if I remember correctly, it was gorgeous but I don't think he owned it for very long as he soon started a family after having it and got a Volvo 120. I actually remember seeing a few mkI's on the road in the day....I was born in 1962. Keep up the excellent content you have a job to die for but sure you have put in a lot of hours to get to where you are today. Well done and thankyou.
This brings back memories. I had a clapped-out '62 in 1971. Ownership was a long sad story, but as a driver, it was so controllable. As a friend of mine said, with the power and narrow tires, you could dial your drift angle in to the degree. Beautiful noise from the inline six. Finest British craftsmanship: an electric fan blade broke off. If I could have one car back, this would be it.
Back in the 90’s, I worked in a shop that specialized in Jags. I never understood the e-type, untill I drove one. The drive is as good as the look.
So it drives like a giant penis
once they worked all the bugs out of the engine. They were notorious for unreliability. The triple carbs were brutal to sync properly. Read up on Jag's first foray into the US market.
@@muskokamike127 no, they are really easy to synchronise. If you know how to do.
I drove one , could not figure out where REVERSE was. No diagram
@@muskokamike127 guess he'll need the British car warlock for those carbs... Ian Tyrell.
That was by far your most honest deeply feeling Video you did! Somebody made you a gift! Maybe this is the car for your grandkid like your grandma gave you her sl! And this kid will have all the history about this car in maaaany long years plus this video you being young and having the best time of your life! How beautiful is that! Really loved watching the video!
Numbers matching, overall great condition (with a few imperfections) AND in British Racing Green!
This is now the crown jewel in your collection, hands down. What a purchase!
You got me with how you took a moment to appreciate the wear on the spokes of the steering wheel. You have heart. Respect.
Congrats Hoovie!
It’s so small and beautiful, makes the road look massive
"Bookends to the Elizabethan era." That statement alone qualified my subscription.
This E-Type is the business from every angle. Congratulations, and "Cheers, mate!" 🍻
What a machine, they are certainly a unique driving experience, far more modern to drive than you would think but still old school feeling, the smells and sounds etc. They last much better when they are used properly, got nice and warm to blow out condensation, taken up in the revs to avoid carbon build up etc. Beautiful
I stopped 2min and I’m saving this Hoovie episode for breakfast!!!! Omg! It’s the color! Hoovie your killing it!
This is the first car I've seen on this channel that I envy. Beautiful car Tyler.
You must not watch very much
Jaguar's reputation plummeted during the 70's for all sorts of issues...but owning 3 Jaguars...I think they are very underrated. Awesome cars that can be bought for reasonable money.
Bloody easy to work on, too - bodywork aside.
Could be bought. They used to be cheap. How many of those rear ends ended up in hot rods of the 70s/80s?
I have to agree. I owned a 2000 XJR for ten years, with very few issues.
At 45,000 miles the instrument cluster had to be replaced due to a defect. Other than that, only routine maintenance.
I loved the power of that small supercharged V8 and luxuriously appointed interior.
I’ve loved Jags since I was a kid and would love to get my hands on a 60s vintage XK.
100% agree, on my 3rd Jag as well and I've been in love ever since the 1st one. Not perfect cars by any means but no car really is, they do have a way of feeling special though and that's what really matters.
Jaguar wasn't a big company. In '65 Jaguar was bought, eventually becoming part of British Leyland - therein is the downfall.
This makes me smile so much. Having had every Jag sedan from the S type and forward... This is still my must have. I will eventually...
You own a lot of nice cars Hoovie, many of which I'd love to own myself, but none more so than this absolute beauty! Congrats Hoovie! I hope she's a keeper!
First off, a major congrats on this one. A true dream car for the genuine enthusiasts, and I can tell that the magic is not lost on you. But the history that accomapnied this car is the icing on the cake - it makes the whole experience that much more personal and powerful. Beautiful, and I hope you enjoy it for many many years to come.
Your best car purchase for a long time, beautiful! You don't have to do a full restoration but it would be lovely to see the rust spots sorted to preserve her and fix the hood, just a staggering looking beauty ❤️
Congratulations Hoovie! I hope you keep this one!!!
That start-up was incredible! It was so ready to go and sounds so good! Your purchases have been especially excellent recently.
Been here since the virtual beginnings of your channel and seeing this progress and watching you enjoy your dreams... it's an honor Tyler. It truly is. Keep it real buddy.
Started watching this channel for the hoopties, now it's matching number E-Type, holy smokes!
I am 69 and this has always been my dream car. I even built a model of it for my girlfriend back in 1977...she has been my wife ever since! Upon retirement in 2009, I treated myself to my first Jaguar...a near-new XK convertible with only 10,000 miles. I think it is the best looking car of its time, and the E-Type is still the best looker of all time! Congrats Hoovie, yours found the right new owner. Hope you make it a keeper!
This was a great episode! One of my favorite cars and I loved how much you enjoyed it! It was an engineering and design marvel at the time, a direct descendant of Jaguar's Type C and D racing program with quite an impressive racing history of it's own. A truly phenomenal automobile. And I completely agree, the late Series 1 E-types were the best ever built. If you ever decide to part with it... yes please.
Really like most if not all of the cars in your fleet, but this one may be your best find yet. Congrats!
Mr. Hoovies channel is getting in all aspects, from presenting to the beautiful collection to the stars and beyond better and better ❤
Very interesting. Love your infectious enthusiasm. Haven't heard that good old saying ''as sound as a pound'' for a long time, even here in England.
congratulations, what a car! I have been around them since I was a child - they're such good cars. make sure it stays cool, keep putting oil in and it won't let you down!
That's in great shape given it's age and the mileage. I'm glad it was taken care of but also used as a car rather than a driveway queen. Nice find, Tyler!
I was always a little jealous of a lot of the cars Hoovie has. This one has me well....completely green with envy
I'm 57 and my brother who is ten years older than I am had a 1971 Hemi Road Runner and when I was about ten, approximately 1974, we were driving home from a local car show when a woman in an E-type Jag passed us doing about 100mph on a 35mph street! At the next stoplight we pulled up next to her and my brother goaded her into racing to the next stop sign that was approximately two miles up the road on a 55mph section of open country road with wheat fields on each side of the road. Of course the Hemi had an advantage off the line and we never even looked back to see where the woman in the Jag was at, but to this day I will never forget how beautiful that E-type Jag was!
Finally, an E Type video where the driver gets on it! Thank you for rekindling my memories of owning a 66 XKE back in 1968-69 and the street wars of that time.
Tyler, as a subscriber to your channel, I am alway happy to see you acquire a fine automobile like this Jag. Most TH-camrs own cars for a short time and very few buy iconic cars like you do. So I am never jealous, because you always include us in your experience. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this, Hoovie! You have a unique way of making us youtube viewers happy for your happiness and love for these vehicles. So happy for you man, enjoy that wonderful piece of automotive history!
I'm happy to contribute to Your garage by watching this. It makes us both happy!
I was about 20 at the time and it eclipsed all previous favourites and still is for me the most desirable car of my life time of 80 years. A Tesla cruised smoothly by me on the Albany Albany Highway here in Western Australia today and I thought, that's nice, but I can live without it. It would have been harder to let it go if had been you cruising past in that EType!! Well done and may you enjoy it for a long time.
I can’t wait for the wizard to put it up on the lift! The E Type is a dream car for me!
Lose the white walls, and, two, don’t do burnouts with wire wheels. Can bend them. Nice car.
Nice. That book you've got is by Phil Porter. He and I and another guy started the Birmingham area 7 of the Jaguar drivers club back in 1974. I love to see you young guys getting excited about these cars. We were lucky. Back then , when I was 23, all these wonderful cars were cheap. I had a 1967 which cost £800, an XK 150 bought for £475 and an Austin Healey 100/4 for £275. Unfortunately, we didn't appreciate the potential value, just drove them for the fun of it. But perhaps that was the best way. Have fun !!
My favorite car of all time. We had a neighbor who had a silver type E convertible. My orthodontist had one also. Love your segments.
Terribly sorry darling, it seems I've forgotten my wallet. Do you mind sorting this out while I go warm up the JAAAAAAAAG
Clarkson,
Daahling.
😁😁😁😁
Priceless Jeremy!
No, that is when you drive a Jaguar saloon, in an E Type, you bed the babe and sneak out in the middle of the night so she gets the hotel bill including dinner and breakfast whilst you are long gone! 😂😂😂
Congratulations, sir! Seeing you happy makes me all giddy! She’s one gorgeous mochine
wow. haven't been here in a while. drone shots and great music have made this channel much more entertaining than before. nice jag.
This was a fantastic and fun video. What a neat car and Tyler's enthusiasm is clearly evident!
❤ Naugas have been extinct for years now. Can’t get Naugahyde any longer. That interior is a keeper! In all seriousness, you should keep this Jag for a long time. Some day it deserves a full restoration because that rust never sleeps. Great find. 👍👍
Drove one of these for a month since my buddy own a foreign car shop!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Can’t compare it to ANYTHING ELSE I HAVE DRIVEN, AMAZING SHOUILD HAVE BOUGHT IT. Big UPs Mr Tyler🤙🏽
I love your enthusiasm and your knowledge. That is a prize. Well done and treat it well
Congratulations Hoovie. All you need now are some brogues, a tweed jacket and a pipe. What a jaw-dropping find. I totally understand your enthusiasm. Australia
Waiting for the wizards reaction.
I think for this one I would even tolerate a repeat of the saliva incident.
It is a completely understandable way to react to an E-type.
@@phenomanII bring it on!
Can imagine, Wizard: "it's a rust bucket, unsafe, better to sell it for parts or face a massive repair bill". lol. Hope not though, amazing car. So well cared for.
oh yeah buddy! Awesome buy and great video. Enjoy all of your vids, but that one is now easily one of my favourites! Enjoy
Congrats Hoovie - a great car and even better purchase. Wow. (Saw my first E-Type in 1967 in Rhodesia when my then girlfriend's father imported one. A coupe. That girl is now my wife of 50 years - and she is as much of a petrol head as me courtesy of her father!).
Loved this video! The E Types always been a favorite of mine
What an incredible buy! Good show Hoovie, well done.
Congrats Hoovie! I had a feeling that one of these old E-types was going to surface on your channel at some point in time!
Welcome to the team...I only have two classics in my garage but carefully selected to enjoy...R107 300SL and e-type S1 3.8 FHC...both very nice cars to drive and enjoy but so different ways...and it's hard to believe that both, R107 and e-type, were on production at the same time in "70s!
I am late to the game here. This came up in my feed recently as new to Hoovie. Absolutely love the car and the man that now has it. I had a 2+2 version and got a lesson in Jaguar engineering. I turned my own wrench's and the car had a slipping clutch. I bought the factory service manual and the first instruction was to remove the bonnet, followed by the radiator, loosening the front torsion bars and removing the motor and trans as a unit. Just a little more clearance on the firewall to cylinder head would have allowed trans removal from underneath. And the odd discovery was that the throw out bearing was a carbon disc that wore each time you depressed the clutch pedal. I paid attention to the instructions to put the car in neutral at a stop light without depressing the clutch. Possibly the most beautiful car on the planet.
You can tell he has fun making these videos.
Yes Hoovie! Finally another car I’m really excited to see more content from on your channel. What a find and rare example!
Still waiting for you to find a Saab classic 900 turbo.
I drove for a car leasing company in 1972/73 and one of our customers had the V-12. It would sputter and stall all the way to the dealer for a tuneup and sail and scream on the way back. Total fun!
You are such a lucky boy! Nice E Type. Thanks for thrashing it a little. I've never heard or seen one being pushed. Owners are always sooooo respectful. Getting on it won't hurt it.
Only scary thing is the brakes. Also, if you forgot to latch the bonnet down properly and it flies up when stopping at the lights... That might explain the marks on the front at the bottom.
Wow, good thought. Absolutely could be from that. 🤔
oh gosh, the stories I could tell about jag brakes and fuel systems....................... LOL
Keep in mind 'Jaguar invented the disk break !' probably why the bonnet flies up.
Most of the bonnet can not be seen so parking by feel accounts for some damage, parking meters being worst..
One of my favorite cars ever. I lust after the E-Type hard top/coupes. Love watching these on the Goodwood Revival stream last weekend. Such a great car, great sound, great look, just everything about them. Even the "will it start" makes it so wonderful. Congrats Tyler on classing up the collection a bit more! Oh an one more thing, do you mind paying for this? I left my wallet in the JAAAAAAG!
Stunning car. The 4.2 will never be as valuable as the 3.8 but in many ways it’s the more reliable and usable engine. My Father had an S2 in sable which I helped him restore when I was younger. Always remember rides to school in it.
Just beautiful Hoovie. Somebody out there loves you...and via your channel loves us too.
My pre teen dream car. So looking forward to its journey with you and the Wizard.
