Actually the platform for the S-Type was in development at Jaguar before Ford took over and the Lincoln LS used the same platform. So it was the other way around. After Ford got rid of Jaguar a Lincoln would never drive as well as those Jaguar based ones did.
Hey great video thanks also I have a gearbox fault on the jag and wondering if I should just go ahead and change the gearbox or have it check for a transmission fault as well just in case? The computer hasn't had any problems so just wondering if I can trust it with this issue just looking for some advice thanks.
is this film or video? looks film to me, but that's weird considering it was 1999 - i believe video was easy to shoot outdoors; i.e. the video equipment was small and easy enough to carry around outside
okay, probably this was intentional to make it resemble whatever show they are imitating (the guys with the cockney accent) - maybe that show is old, so. also, i feel this may have been an 'effect', and not real 'film'.
May joined *New* Top Gear in 2003 (replacing Jason Dawe), but he was on *Old* Top Gear briefly for one series in 1999. Clarkson was also on Old Top Gear but from 1988 to 1998, and Hammond came from Men & Motors (1998-2002).
I like the 2002 dark blue jaguar S type although I don't think I'll ever own one unless someone to s feeling extremely generous They need to pay for a driving course pay for my insurance pay for the car and petrol tax and MOT anyone feeling that generous 😂
Stype always run better than mercedes and bmw 5 e39 even e60.. İ drive all engine stype e class and 5.. Stype run better then others and you get most fun stype.. İ think stype last real english britian style jaguar and goes classic... new xf, xe and others looks like convensial german cars..
God that intro
It's very typical of BBC shows around that time and there are other BBC intros that are much the same.
Better than nowadays of course.
@AlexGRFan97 but that's the thing people didn't get in the 1990s, just throwing as much shit on the screen as technology permitted doesn't work
@@Ryan98063 the 1999-2000 intro was much better and was one of my favorite intros from the old top gear
Super bass. 👌
James, Tiff, and Quentin. The odd, goofy trio that almost was.
Hell of an entry from Tiff there, i wonder how many takes that took..
One.
@@schizogony Just the 1even if he had partaken of a drink or 10 as is his want.
Tiffs a professional, probably 1
Hard to believe James was only 36 here.
I have a 2006 S-Type and everywhere I take it people love it ❤
So much better quality than the version already on YT.
Love them! I've owned a Mark II & now a 2007 S-Type. They always turns heads, especially from Bimmers, Mercs & Audis.
Not with that fucking grill. Awful.
love it or hate it, look at the s types from the 60s...its called style..@@ericgeorge5483
Wow this is really old. James has aged well. Good thing he doesn't talk like this anymore. Thanks.
but he still does
'In fact they were so good in the wrong hands'. That's very well put.
7:10
May always have been swaggy af 👌🏽😂💚
Jags really are such "villainous" cars and always were. Stereotypical East End gangster from the 1960s.
My dad has a 2003 3.0 liter v6 stype

Yes, very grime.
I think The Kray Twins had Jags ( I think the 420g)
and did you finalize it? I currently own the 3.0 manual@@somervillearron
James May is a legend
Top Class show.
James is fantastic.
I wanted one when it came out and I still want one 20 years later. Thought about it at least once a year.
I have one and it’s been pretty good to me :)
“I’ll do it in a small Jagwahr!”
The introduction is classic
God the early interior on these was woeful; much better after the facelift.
Tiff. That intro. That guy rules.
Tiff is a god
Actually the platform for the S-Type was in development at Jaguar before Ford took over and the Lincoln LS used the same platform. So it was the other way around. After Ford got rid of Jaguar a Lincoln would never drive as well as those Jaguar based ones did.
Before Ford purchased Jaguar they were trying to ink a deal with GM to develop and produce smaller model based on the Omega
3:21 oh the good old days of vhs tape.. XD
2:30 James May having a 1982 hair style in 1999!!!
1:38 wow Tiff, just wow
wait is that vicki BH? wow indeed

1:53 LIKE A BOSS!
Baby may
Damm, I can´t belive that James was driving a Jaguar registered in Spain in 1999!!! Bonkers.
Right? Thought the same
WHAT?
IM SPANISH-
@@JV64 mira la matrícula
Do you have more old top Gear? Thanks!
James sounds posher here. I guess he toned down the poshness in later years.
I'm sure it's more down to the smoking over the years, similar to Clarkson's voice development.
Tiff at 1.16 - Hilarious!
To think Slow replaced the Orangutan
Back then BBC considered James and Clarkson pretty similar
6:23 Scotty?
Endless money pits. 🤗
i was like...woooowww..James could drive like that????? :D
IT LEFT THE GROUND
Is that james he didn't look 80
Now I remember why I have never watched a whole episode,bloody kids show.
I want to jump mine like that now
I had one and i will buy another one cause i miss the car soo much. It’s just simply better than anyother saloon car.
is this film or video? looks film to me, but that's weird considering it was 1999 - i believe video was easy to shoot outdoors; i.e. the video equipment was small and easy enough to carry around outside

Should've had Mike Brewer on to do that bank job skit...
'OLD AAAAAT YER 'AND & GIVE ME THE WONGA!
Never once has Mike said it like that and I’ve seen every Autotrader and Wheeler Dealer episodes
Young James may look like Edmund from Narnia
Strange entry from Jaguar. The R version was okay though. The XF is a lot better as a successor.
Car guy huh?
I thought may joined in 2003

티프니델!!!
James in his pre old lady days
old TopGear was too British xD
lol this is so British.
Back when Yaris was a new car... Ew.
It's a small thing but god those door handles were awful. There was no way to get grip and they were incredibly flimsy.
top gear could've been so much for the culture. It became tabloid thanks to "higher powers."
i got one for sale for a 1000€
Jaguar were the real crooks making that abysmal car.
Stype always run better than mercedes and bmw 5 e39 even e60.. İ drive all engine stype e class and 5.. Stype run better then others and you get most fun stype..
İ think stype last real english britian style jaguar and goes classic... new xf, xe and others looks like convensial german cars..
The front looks horrible with that grill.
Awful car.
