I Found a Classic Jaguar ABANDONED in a Barn For 30+ YEARS & Detailed It 

One fine automobile whose dignity has been restored. Great job!

Thats a proper Jag!, always loved the mark tens, still more elegant and better looking than the modern day crap car makers produce these days, thanks for saving her!

You did a great job on that, I have owned a few here in England. The excellent chrome, solid panels and the fact it's complete and possibly all original makes it very desirable.

Interesting you said it was the smaller S-Type. I saw it and instantly recognised the mighty ‘Zenith’ or Mark 10/420G. First released just after the E-Type in October 1961 (E-Type was March that year at Geneva), this big model predates the smaller S-Type/420 variants by a couple of years…I had two of them. I purchased one with cash at 19 years old and drove it everywhere, and at parties everyone wanted to be in it because it was so big. My girlfriend at the time and I used to ‘dine’ at Macdonalds with the dome lights on in the rear of the car with the picnic tables down. Fabulous car and quick given the bulk. Had the same 3.8 litre triple carburettor setup (as shown in your vid) as the E-Type sports car.

This model Jaguar sedan saved my life and a friends life too. A long time ago we were driving late at night in the Australian bush. Miles from any where we hit a kangaroo at a 110 miles an hour.Long story short the impact buckled the front sub frame and because the car was built like a bank vault we came to no harm other than our wallets taking a finacial hit. Good cars...

That thing looked phenomenal at the end!

Gives me pure joy to see a classic brought back to life. Much better than the junk of today

Hi from the UK! A friend of mine bought one of these in the late 1960’s for £300. It was absolutely immaculate in a golden sand colour. At that time they were so thirsty on petrol that sellers couldn’t get a high price for them and took any offer.

I owned a Mark 10 in the 70s that had belonged to Howard Hughes. It was in need of some. Attention when I got it, but local Jag mechanic helped me polish it up. This was a wonderful car, years ahead of anything else at the time, and since it had the XK engine, cruised effortlessly on the highway. The interior was so ush, they were called the poor man's Rolls Royce. I sd the car to a collector when I went back to college, and sadly it burned up in a horrific fire at a European garage a couple years later. 😳

What an amazing transformation from what it was to the finish! Quite mesmerizing to watch from beginning to end. Thank you for making the video!

It's a MK10, later known as the 420G, not an X type

There can't be many barns left now! lol

The chrome on these cars are amazing. Ive seen rusty bodied ones and the chrome still looks new

Hi there I'm John from England you've done a great job on that jaggu what are lovely car

Great watch stunning looking this MK 10 Jag👌👌👌👌

Beautiful car. My Dad a blue Mark X back in the late 60s early 70s. It was huge, he called it the aircraft carrier. What's next? Who will restore the mechanics?

..love watching these barn find cars getting restored to presentable condition...thanks..

Good job on cleaning this original Jaguar MK 10 , a great British iconic from the 1960s ❤😂

Hell yeah!!! Awesome video keep it coming!

Absolutely Smashing job on that.... Patt on the back to You... Thank you for looking after Real Classic Jag!

Very, very well done indeed. As soon as you began, I began to see revealed all the possibilities it has. Your efforts may very well have encouraged somebody not to disassemble it for the parts, but to pursue a restoration. Your great work has shown that there's real hope for what appeared to be a hopeless case.

Outstanding job!

Never seen your videos before, but all I had to hear was you're a Northern Michigan detailer, and I subscribed. I lived up in "Da Soo" for about 10 years. 😄

Wow came up amazing! Thanks for creating the content 🎉

What a beautiful treasure 👏🥰💕

Awesome Jag😊 love it😊

beautiful job boyz !!! 10/10 love jags ( x type /420g/ s type )

Roman numerals man - Mark 10 [X]

🇬🇧 Here in the UK, that car is one of the best Jaguar mk 10 that we made, he would of had people beating his door down to buy it, but good luck with the sale, 😊

That's a lovely old Jaguar. These beasts weighed two tons. Refined, smooth and classy. They'll have no problem selling that now.

Thats beautiful 😍 you did the best job 👏 🙌 👍 ❤️

Lovely old jag. Ive got a white 420G proper old school motor. They drink fuel like its going out of fashion, but the grin factor driving it outways the cost of running it.

What a transformation of this beautiful British classic.

Absolutely stunning. It will sell now,

WOW that's actually a nice car, it cleaned up nice.

I can’t believe how good a condition it is especially being from Michigan It really should only be the top half left of a car It did clean up nice considering 👍👍

That's a great find! My first car was a mk10 jag like that. We lived in Devon at the time and the old tank was as wide some of the roads! I still have the bonnet maskot and really regret getting rid of it!😊

The paint is amazing

What a great car. Yes, its an early to mid 1960's Mk 10, not an X Type, and not the later 420G (that had chrome trim down the sides). It looks in really good shape, and BTW, that toolbox alone is worth over $500. You have quite a rare car there. Great job.

Great what a transformation buddy

From UK.........A really great job boys.

Cool the girl cleaned up nice fantastic job😊😊😊

Great work!

such a beautiful car!!!

420G at the time the largest saloon car ever made in the uk

Awesome Job!!

You have done an excellent job

Just because it's cleaned up doesn't make it valuable. The cost to properly re-upholster the seats in this car is in excess of $10k alone. You also need a paint job because of the rust. You didn't touch the running gear. As a long time restorer of Jaguars, specifically the Mk 10, I can say that replacing the engine seals, rebuilding the two fuel pumps, doing the brakes, fitting a new exhaust, and repairing the mouse damage to the wiring is going to run $10-20k. You'll need new tires too, of course. The Mk 10 3.8 is an unloved model. It's rare to see one sell for over $15k. So, a "low ball" offer is appropriate for someone who has the skills to do the major work the car will need to get it back on the road and who can live with the torn seats and poor paint. There's no upside to restoring a barn find like this except for the person who doesn't care how much it ultimately costs, because they love the model. Personally, I prefer the later 4.2 litre car, as do most collectors.

Hi great video, what did you use on the chrome? It came up really well and removed a lot of the corrosion

Fantastic cleaning job, what a beauty.

Fantastic job. Fan Malaysia

Pure Cosmetic... good job

Steam cleaning the pedals 😮 Wow you are the man!

Great job you are a star 🌟

Great job.

I had the mk.10 those power jet sprays are awesome

In the UK cars like these get banger raced. Keep this beautiful car safe there. Fantastic clean up

Tanks for good video❤

The original lacquer paint on these Jags was nice‼️✅

Love that model even more than a beautiful E tupe

EXCELLENT JOB 👍👍👍👍

Youve done an amazing job o that mk10 Jag

I use brillo pads to remove surface rust works wonders

They Are a Classy Jag top job

Your dead car detailing is dynamic! Thank you,

Miracle worker

You should send this to the CEO of Jaguar...

Back to showroom in 16 minutes . . .. still needs a little TLC . .. but holy cow what an improvement. . .. . . .. great vid

Possible this MK 10 was sold or serviced at my father’s BMC Jaguar dealership in Grand Rapids. These are great cars and especially beautiful with factory wire wheels. I still have a 86 MK 3 XJ6. Jaguars up to the 80’s were unbeatable if you enjoy driving.

Excelente trabajo , saludos desde México

Absolutely crazy that jaguar has been in a barn my whole lifetime.Bonkers

Interesting, but how did it go from butter yellow to white ?:)

Veľmi pekne ste to opravil a vyčistil😊wow

Walnut dashboard cool

Use wire wool and then wet aluminium foil for restoring proper chrome.

That Jaguar weighs almost as much as the Cadillac Eldorado in your next video.

You need to invest in a winch, HARBOR FREIGHT! 👍 I think Jaguar always built beautifully styled vehicles, especially the XK E, but the Lucas ignition systems were a definite problem at least here, they didn’t like to start in damp weather.

Viewing from 313 motor city Detroit Michigan USA 🇺🇸 .

Very Nice👍. But one thing you forgot,you didn’t pull the hub caps off?😂

You’re a magician.

You get an up vote just for the jingle at 14.28!!

Esse carro é lindo ❤

British bank robbers car . Nice job , well done !

when you high presure washing you even press dirtwater in betwen the trims and rubber listts.

Classy car 🐆

What is something like this wroth???

This model was too big & thirsty for UK roads. A rare sight now but in my opinion I think its come of age & looks great especially the interior

gooooood jooob!

The Daimler version is the twin to this imo!

An icon conversion (Jonathan Ward) could be interesting

Nice clean up job on the jag young fella.Will they get it running? Will be a beast when running and worth the $10,000 they are asking. Those 3.8's had a problem with head gaskets?... (ps. v8 chevy's drop straight in 😂)

Looks like the FB seller forgot that it was a Mk.10 Jaguar. X-types didn't even exist until 2001. For the Mk.10, later renamed the 420G, it was Britain's top-of-the-range saloon car of the decade, starting from 1961 and ending in 1970 due to Leyland taking over. The only sacrifice that was made was that for most, if not all of these cars were column-shift automatic, but that's just how luxury was back then. There were 3 types of Mk.10 Jaguar that were made in the decade. The first being the 3.8L version (same engine as the iconic E-Type), second being the 420, basically same thing but with a 4.2L XK engine instead and a badge on the boot, and the gargantuan 420G, much larger and wider than the other two, with the same 4.2L XK, but with 3 SU carburettors, again but with a 420G badge on the boot. Mid-to-late 1965 Mk.10 Jaguars had additional chrome trimming along the side with side markers in order to make it road legal.

My uncle had one from new in the 60s in London, Uk . I believe it may be a 4.2 L block. Great wedding car or school graduation car. Its more of a buisness venture running that in Europe when petrolium is soooo expensive !

Depois de Uma Bela Reforma Nesta Raridade, Espero Que os Proprietários Comprem Uma Capa Para Protegê-lo.

Absolutely beautiful car. Sir William knew his cars and his market. A shame to see that lively Connelly Leather looking so poorly. As an aside, Connelly always used hides from Belgium because barbed wire is illegal there. Fewer scars in the skin. That Wilton carpet is still being woven, but it is anything but budget friendly. It appears the headlining may be West of England cloth as was optional on concurrent Rolls-Royce models.

Que espetáculo de carro

Those wing mirrors - probably the coolest thing on this mk10..

You could spray some varnish on these chips ;)

It’s a Mark 10 I grew up driving the same car , my father taught me to drive in this car at the age of 11 years

Looked at the FB link. You have it as a X-Type lmao. You might want to change that to Jaguar MK10 if you really want to get close to the asking price. A little accuracy goes a long way.
