“Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shuts down for ten years.”
What a beautiful piece of art!
Weirdly my father made the badges on that car when he was an apprentice at Jaguar. Good video once again. Thanks.
What a lovely, knowledgable and passionate gentleman. Loves his job so much that it's not really a job for him! Hope we can all get to see more of him in future videos.
*Beautiful* car and once again the level of knowledge that man has stored in his head is insane!
Level of knowledge? Yes, I’ll sort of agree, but how does he not know anything and or have any facts about the car’s performance? How many times did he say “it’s a racing car” or “race car” and know who did the upholstery on the seats but not the horsepower???
@@wnbe-low-me7427 I thought that was a tad weird too and the only thing I can think of is, these cars are so rare (only 16 of them) and so valuable ($30/40m) that no owner would allow theirs to be tested. To much risk sticking a 70 year old, extremly expensive, original engine on a dyno. I know I wouldn't if I was lucky enough to own one! No idea if this is right, its just a theory but it makes sense atleast
I love the fact that you have access to places I never would have access to, and that you share them with us here - thanks!
I must say, I am a massive Mcqueen fan so the picture of him on his Triumph during the Great escape, which is over my fire place tells me. But even owning an E-type series one, pales to the beauty of the XK. Jealous is not the word. Stunning.
That Green is EVERYTHING on this car.. wish l could've seen it outside!!
BEAUTIFUL.
Wow.. that car is to die for!💚
Absolutely amazing car thanks for sharing it with us Michael
What the guy failed to mention was the reason why Steve Queen wanted a door on the glove compartment. FACT: He wanted somewhere to put his sunglasses and cigarettes!. The car was fully restored and does not have any patina. The car was featured on Jay Leno's Garage a few years ago.
It has probably been kept in good condition over the years.
Von Ducth. did the custom glove box for McQueen at Bud Ekins Bike Shop Bud did jump in Great Escape. Tony did the Rest
Steve McQueen was an icon he was amazing in the Great Escape taken way to soon RIP the King of Cool
British racing green looks so good
Sweet !! Thanks for showing this dream mobile . I've always loved Jags, but this is a show stopper . I bet Steve McQueen loved that car .
That car is gorgeous. Perfect for Steve McQueen's persona. Love the knowledge of the car and origins of what made it. Lots of love from Australia. Abs.
So interesting!!! Thanks Michael.
I'm certain that I've seen a photo of Steve McQueen, perhaps in the book 'McQueen's Machines' where he is with this car in the original spec. Another great photo is of him tinkering with the motor with the bonnet raised whilst in his wardrobe from 'Wanted: Dead or Alive' the "mares leg" strapped down on his side. He was the "King of Cool". 😎
used to service XK 120 and XK 150
Wow an amazing car, so much history. …..and solid, they don’t make cars like that these days. ! ❤️
Thanks Michael and Adam ❤️
Please some more of this kind of episode !
Fascinating car with loads of history
Adam take care with the young fella
Fantastic automobile! Loved this one, guys!
The sports cars of the 40’s/50’s/60’s (Mercedes, Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche) are truly the pinnacle of automotive design.
Absolutely Breathtaking
Real men appreciate jaguars
That car was originally black and belong to a man named Steve Earl. Leave the car was sold to Steve McQueen and he had it painted green and had Tony Nancy do the interior. I saw the car the within a week when it was imported to the United States. I always love that car
Wow! First time commenting after seeing this great video just 3 minutes ago. Lol good job Michael and Adam!
What a masterpiece 😍
Thanks Michael 👍👊
great
VonDucth did custom GloveBox for McQueen at Bud Ekins Triumph Shop.Bud did the jump for Steve in the Great Escape Tony Nancy did Leather Trim an his Seahorse Logo
I had a black 1998 jaguar xjr on 22" chrome rims. It was and is mu favorite car
GREAT CONTENT LOVE THE JAGS MY FREIND HAS MANY E TYPES AND A MK I50 BUT THIS CAR IS A WORK OF ART YOUR SELF AND ADAM ALWAYS DO THE BUISNESS
MK 150?
Watched it all. Thanks, guys.
this is extremely rare. Wow! Michael, just get a Series 1 E-Type or an XK 150 with the good old 3.8 l straight 6. They're great cars.
You look so dapper Michael.
Simply outstanding!
Love your videos please do more car collection videos
@Producermichale
You can have this car kind of.
There is a company in the UK that make classic jaguar replicas the body is full sheet metal, made in 100% the same way every rivet placement is the same. Then you get a cheaper car like a E-type and you have all the running gear ect ect.
A friend of mine did a D-type and it's absolutely amazing. I believe the body's are around the price of a top spec German saloon, all in if you factor in labour to build one you are looking at £250k+ but you get a serious piece of kit that really is a insult to call it a replica more a "honorary example" that you can afford to buy, insure and actually thrash around in.
Get yourself one, go see Jay Leno ask him and his guys for advice and get something in the making Retropower could make you a very special period jaguar, they built a car for Gordon Murray so if he picked them to build his own personal car then they must know something.
Anyways I look forward to seeing a classic jag on the channel and hopefully I can watch it being built on TH-cam via RetroPower's channel :-)
Michael is planning on buying this car!!
That, the E type + the Miura are the most beautiful cars ever designed.
When I was a kid a guy named Bill Gilbert in the 70s marina del Rey had one exactly like that .same color too
5 or 6 years ago you could get 1 of the 16 xkss for around 3-4 million dollars ,jag used the other 9 left over and made the continuation model at £1 million each few years back....ss100,c type,d type,xkss,e type,xk140 all beautiful
great color :)
Absolutely stunning automobile 😊

Never going to happen. No more house tours!
@@Mpayne1472 there will be tours
@@troycollett8540 they don’t interest me at all. Sorry
been sub since u had 50,000 subs!!!!!
Beautiful car. Good thing the engine bay was easily accessible because they broke down every 10 minutes.
not trying to hate or anything, but can Adam please use a camera stabilizer at all times?
it's so wobbly, same in house tours.
Classic model looks is great
Need a look at every car in that place
The Ford Mustang from bullitt is probably still my favourite Steve McQueen car
Wow it's an amazing car 😍👌🏼 Thanks Michael
Sure 👍🏽
Steve Mcqueens Jaguar,Jay Leno showed it. I believe it sits in a museum in LA. Very cool.
As mentioned in the video and the video description.
Brilliant 👏
Unforgettable
LEGEND!
Beautiful car
And this why my 64’ MGB is the poor man’s version. Jaguar did so well back then 👏
WOW!
Where is the shoes and boots section went off your potique Michael??
Thats where I saw yuh! Manny's!!
Do a podcast with him he would tell so many stories
If you get down low and look at the front of this car, added 2 upside down crossed swords on the front of the bonnett its literally a picture of lemmy wearing his hat.(motorhead) .
Amazing car
you need to start these up. it's like looking at an unwound tourbillon. great video anyway
Not a car fan, but definitely a McQueen fan 👍🏻
👍nice car like the color ❤️
Steve McQueen Jaguar XKSS 🐯

Perfect
thank goodness there's a 1983 White Corvette, in the museum 🤔🙄🥴

🤩 Beautiful! 😍
🤔Mmm, I didn't enter any contests.🤔
#justtypin #goodluckwiththat
@@jessicasmith7102 Yeah, I've been going through the comments & reported and removed over a dozen of that sleeze bags replies
What a nice car
It's got triumph spitfire brake lights on the back.
Let's switch it up. Let us go with you and Adam to the beach with your dogs😼
100 mill all day long! Stunning car
This guy sounds just like Jeff Goldblum
Wow.. klasikkk
Right hand driving possible in usa?. Is this ok in uk
Masterpiece. So if it was a 1956-57, why are you calling it a 1962?
I had the same question 😅
Michael knows cars just as much as he knows watches … nothing
I bet it sounds nice! :)
I love E-Type
Do you think they ever fixed the clutch in that thing? Remember how screwed up it was when the car was on Jay Lenos Garage TH-cam channel? You could hear it slip, that was YEARS ago, wonder if they put a new clutch in it ??
Hi Mr Michel can we see you buying a car and i like to seeing you buying clothes too because you look amazing all time and thank you for sharing with us all this beautiful thing.
It seems that Mr McQueen's stuff just adds to the price. His Rolex watch sold for 2 Million Dollars at auction. A comparable watch was only worth less than 1 Thousand Dollars.
How then was it possible for James Dean to get his Porsche 550 Spyder legally registered for the street back in 1955?
Art car
I'm glad you 3 were able to show this to everyone.It's an amazing vehicle with a great provenance.I'll share a link to a video with it being reviewed and then Driven,which I guess insurance won't allow anymore.This is from 8 years ago.He also showed some factory built 2nd editions 5 years ago in a different video.Watch it run:

And you too Michael " unforgettable that' s what you are...unforgettable though near are fare" have a good day!!!!
