FACTORY ORIGINAL Jaguar E Type discovered in a barn 

This Fella caked 3-4 proper Etype and a XK Roadster good for you my friend well done all love

Nice video. It reminds me why I sold mine: 1. Wire wheels with tube tires (tyres for you UK guys). This means when you got a puncture, there is no "slow leak". Your car was suddenly running on a dead flat tire, vibrating like a motorcycle. 2. Lucas Electric. -Designed to ensure everything that could go wrong does. Ironically the fuses are conveniently located behind the instrument panel, which literally swings down to open up for your need to burn off an afternoon diagnosing which thing needs attention this time. 3. Small front radiator with a crummy two bladed electric fan (with thin blades at that), which only begins to kick on AFTER you get stuck in traffic and the car begins to overheat. By then the coolant is already too hot and begins to spew out, so you need to urgently find a place to pull over and park to cool it off. 4. Of course with its marginal cooling system, don't even think about air conditioning. 5. Factory original hydraulic brakes, with all natural rubber seals. This means you MUST USE Castrol brake fluid developed from a vegetable oil source, otherwise using standard American brake fluid will soon zap your multi-stage master cylinder, along with your caliper's brake piston seals. 6. Short drive shaft, meaning when the U-Joint starts to go, it quickly wallows out the transmission's and/or differential's shaft seals, requiring major work on them along with replacing the joints themselves. 7. Cotter pins used to keep connecting rod nuts in place in 1964 and earlier, which means eventually they break from vibration and seize the oil pump (which is connected to the distributer) , ruining it along the way, leaving you stranded with a suddenly dead engine. 8. Notorious for suddenly "bolting" if you forgot and floored it in first gear from a dead stop, literally locking the carburetor butterfly's open, typically resulting in smashing the front end, usually requiring you find a replacement for the complete "bonnet assembly", which includes both front fenders as well. As for the special maintenance the engine alone needed, that requires another list. Great cars, as long as you don't need to seriously drive them, which explains why they are often discovered as "barn finds".

This is my book the ultimate classic collector car pure perfection.A car is only original once , as this is.

This was Great , that Jag is a Time capsule..its Perfect those interior parts were fantastic..Great Vid.

Another excellent video. I've probably read hundreds of online E type listings at this point and all of them together don't match the level of detail and information contained in this and other videos by Mr. Lemke.

Yes Yes and me I got the bug from Dad series one 4.2 roadster with a factory auto used to always walk out in the garage through the kitchen there. It was looking at us. People always used to knock on the door asking us about it. Even the police if they knock on the door and my mum would open it so it’s not for sale all the time. Listen everybody listen the series one is the best of the lot, not saying anything more says it all. All the Glass over the lights Indicators over the bumper everything man come on they are the bollocks.

What a great video…thank you so much for sharing, insights and commentary are top notch

Built close to where I live, every local boy wanted one, very few ever got the chance to own one. I love them.

Owens a great guy came to my place a few months ago and had a look at our e types , bought some parts I had . Top guy

Where is the Etype that simon dee drove inthe early 60's on his TV show before he vanished from popularity 😮

Owen bought chassis 58 from me in 2007. I must point out that the car's paint is not original, it was resprayed in 1994 by the then-owner John Grose who I bought the car from.

Beautiful car, hopefully one day I’ll get to drive one.

What an amazing Coupe and great video footage. Definitely new paint and rubber here. With the rubber installation all over the place especially around the rear boot covering the drain, I would suspect the chrome window post rubber is a later add-on.

Another superb video for me Maikel for which I thank you. I was most interested in particular regarding those two vertical chrome front widow strips you both discussed; I have a pair of what looks identical to those which have had to be re-chromed on my current project - I'll have to listen again as the first time, unless I misunderstood, those continued for longer than indicated> Be well, Jon. PS/edit - many thanks also to Owen for agreeing to this.

Hi Miakel . Another terrific presentation . I must say l was suspicious that the paintwork looked too good and it seems l was correct . And the door catch screws appear to be posidrive heads .....not around until about '64 , but hey l'm just being picky ! And niether cars are trailer queens which is so nice to see . Owen certainly has an unbridled passion for old vehicles and not exclusively Jaguar "e"types! Always look forward to your total dedication to these most iconic cars . Bryan Forbes was a famous film director . Some of his films were very well known in the UK. The Guns of Navarone. An Appointment in London . A Shot in the Dark. Thankyou Miakel and thankyou Owen .

I wonder what happened to pheona richmonds yellow one ,REG FU2 ??😊😊
