Love the older stuff. Close as most of us will ever get to being behind the wheel of something like this.

I love the EZ Pass on the windshield. It shows they actually hit Mass Pike regularly

15:22 - Yup, mine actually, only mine was a 1959. The engine was the best part of the car. Even the SU carbs were not a problem really. But I never felt confident about going really fast on curvy roads with it. When I rebuilt the brake calipers I was shocked at the way some of the pistons were cocked over and therefore stuck. The caliper pistons were way too narrow. On the other hand I was super impressed with how you could send off splined hubs to a machine shop in England who did a really nice job welding material on and then machining new splines. From then on I used boat trailer wheel bearing grease on those wheel splines to minimize water washout. Thanks for the vid!

Don't worry about lack of synchromesh - learn to double de-clutch and forget about having to keep stopping every time you want first gear. It also smoothes out downchanges on higher gears.

I don't own any of these cars, but I enjoy watching your first person camera view driving of these cars and your commentary of your experience.

@darkknight8139 Год назад

Wow, what a fantastic sports car. This is what a 6-cylinder engine should sound like. The E-type is really quick, this one is quick enough.

Love the vintage Jaguars! Was brought home from the hospital as a newborn in my father's 1954 XK120. I sold new Jaguars in the early 80's at Woburn Foreign Motors. FYI - the Jaguar logo/hood ornament is officially called "The Leaping Cat". Cheers!

My dad had a brand new XJ6 4.2 manual in the early 70s and I can see why he liked Jaguars probably because of the history of Jaguars in the 50s and 60s like the XK 120 and 150. The car we had was in the same colour as this 150 white with red interior

@geoffclarke3796 Год назад

Have never driven an XK150 but have driven two E types, a late 3.8 model from 1964 with I think the same gearbox as in the XK150 and a 1967 4.2 with the later all synchro box. Loved the gearbox whine on the earlier car but the gearchange experience was so much nicer on the later car as buttery smooth and felt quite modern. I do prefer the 3.8 engine to the 4.2 though as more happy to rev and sounded better though not as much torque.

@tomislavblazevic2742 Год назад

Incredible, the leap in styling from this to the e-type. This looks ancient.

@alexk5990 Год назад

Great video. Cool seeing all these old Jags.

@leonardmorin9198 Год назад

My very first car was a 1954 XK 120 and I later owned a MKII 1967 340 with a B/W auto box and electric overdrive. Both were great to drive but the 120 was raw and fun. The MKII's 4 wheel disk brakes were an obvious advantage. Oddly the MKII had 210bhp and the XK120 was rated at 175bhp in the roadster spec.

@silentone3852 Год назад

What an absolute beauty and beast. Every vehicle has its pro and cons but in the end, as long you enjoy and respect the drive, that's all that matters 😎

@tomschnabel6146 Год назад

i had a 1959 XK 150S drophead back in the day. 2 batteries, 2 fuel pumps, spent a wad of cash fixing it up, new interior, etc. finally it needed a new transmission and i couldn't afford it and had to let it go. it had a Laycock de Normanville electronic overdrive--a 5th gear. no synchro in 1st.

I learned to come to a dead stop in my 1959 Morris Minor. As others have commented, you shift it very well. Enjoyed the video, reminds me of Inspector Morse as played by John Frost.

@TedwardDrives Год назад

I've finally driven enough rough moss boxes to be confident and comfortable. My first time was very intimidating a few years ago. Learning to bond with them now. This one was actually pretty slick. Some of the early series 1 e-types can be a bear in traffic

@marial8235 Год назад

Ted: you nailed the reason why I love the Xks over the E-Type: the XKs look sinister😊💀👍

@zymmer4 Год назад

The 150 is the XK that I enjoy..A purist will poo poo me because they say that the 120 "was the best"..Best?? The 150 was a modern car..the heater worked, the windows in the door actually rolled up..the cockpit did not try to broil you alive when the engine was running..Some would say that the 150 was "too big" or "too glitzy" to be considered a Classic XK..I say it was the best of the group.

@Lupinicus1664 10 месяцев назад

My dad had one of these, a 1959 model. Sadly he sold it a year before I could learn to drive so I didn't get a chance to drive it. My father was 6'4" and managed to drive it OK. Pity he didn't keep it as they're worth a pretty penny today. Double de-clutching was the best way to change gears due to the absence of synchromesh. What wasn't shown were the vents, you reached forwards into the footwell and push a handle and a vent simply opened on the side of the car. 1950s air conditioning.... Great fun though and a true classic. In pristine condition I would take one of these over the successor E-type, which I think is less pretty.

Hey Ted !! If possible please do a comparison between a Mercedes Ponton 1958 and this Jag 1961 and let us know which one feels better and why? Thank you.

Steering wheel telescopes out with lock ring just forward of the steering wheel. Gives you adequate leg clearance under the wheel.

@kavinskysmith4094 10 месяцев назад

I wonder if the mark II would be the better car, as they came with the 3.8 as the top Motor Option, although the S type is apparently a far better car, but doesnt look anywhere near as good. like I wonder if that would be as safely close to this driving experience as you could get, also pre 67, as they were taken over by Leland and got rid of the Connoly Leather of the Morse car for Vinyl.

Proper sports car ergonomics at the time dictated a steering wheel “wide as the shoulders”. Just how it was. ✌️

"L’héritage des XK représente bien plus que ces chiffres de production. Cette gamme a établi Jaguar comme un producteur de voitures de sport qui comptait. Les succès sur les pistes européennes et surtout américaines confirmaient la légende Jaguar qui s’écrivait au Mans avec cinq victoires des Jaguar C-Type et Jaguar D-Type en sept ans. La XK150 sera remplacée par la Jaguar Type E"

I know is part of the experience, is part of the charm, etc. But i prefer a full synchronized gearbox. Is the only deal breaker for me, i can deal with temperamental carburators, engines, etc, but the gearbox for me is the deal breaker.
