Jaguar E-Type: Gwendoline 

Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 250 GTO are 2 of the most beautiful cars ever made..

Who leads with, “my name is...I work on Wall Street”?!? Give me a break, guy!

Kenny, you don't name your car Gwendoline, you name your daughter "E-type"

Another very hard up petrolicious car owner 😂 stunning car though I have to admit 👍🏻

"Built to tear up pavement" Drives at 30mph.

Come on Petrolicious, you can do better than this. A very mediocre E-Type and a video with the Enzo "most beautiful car" quote (the point I stopped watching). Show us something original, fresh and interesting like you used to. There are loads of E-Types, show us a home build low-drag or privateer race car. Have a flick through a copy of Octane magazine and get your MOJO back.

Jaguar E-Type, hard to imagine anything sexier than that...

Having grown up with an E Type in the family I have to say, there is nothing like it when it comes to looks and sheer theatre. Thank you Petrolicious for another fantastic video.

At first i was like " wow. He's kinda overhyped" and then when he said he works at wallstreet, i knew exactly whats going on :D Love video anyways

Petrolicious, I get it, no one's perfect. There are gonna be lousy videos now and then. This was one of them. The guy's a joke.

Typical British girls names?...he’s avving a giraffe ..

Why did i turn its E type into a "race car" to drive it like my grand mother do? So much frustating

I will like this video since he said "Jaguar" correctly

When he mentioned that he works on Wall Street, I almost closed the video....

Congratulations Kenny, you married your first love! It is THE car of your childhood dreams and you pulled it through to own it, but not only that - you stayed faithfully to it for decades! wonderful story.

The E-Type is gorgeous but IMHO the prettiest car is the XKSS.

Thank you Kenny for sharing your love for the E Type, and for not calling it a Jag-WIRE. I grew up around NYC and I heard it called that a lot.

Started out bad...I WORK ON WALL STREET, DB, then the car has a name, DB. As a car guy I've never understood naming a car, I mean, most are born with a name, this ones called the E-type. You've gotta love smugness during these trying times!

You have created an orphan car. All that add on/swap out stuff you have piled on makes it so. Unless you rev the engine to 6000rpm 300bhp is just theoretical. Your Webers "pop"? Get them tuned/jetted correctly. You could do this stuff to a corvette and it wouldn't matter. Stick to wall street and all its huckstering. I watched this and it made me want to puke. And I love E-Types, I restore them for a living. Beyond that, I live and let live, it takes all types and all that.

Gorgeous car but take the 53 off. It's not Herbie.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.

This is truly a passion that no electric cars will ever get. I respect the electric cars and their purpose, but there’s nothing like an internal combustion engine roaring to life, the sound at each revs , the gears change, the sound of every mechanical parts in harmony... it’s just perfect and makes you feel good and one with your car. i’m glad to live in a world where we still have those cars around to give us that passion ! My ultimate dream car is the last exclusive manual supercar of Ferrari , the F50 and just thinking about it i hear the sound of the amazing 4.7L , 60 valves V12 revving all the way to 8500rpm 😍. This E-Type is truly amazing and i know why he feels like that for his car , he achieved his dream.

In other news, I would LOVE to have my 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk featured on here, and there is a great story behind it (my being a teenager who got it as his first car), but I'm not sure if Petrolicious would go for it.

Steel roll bar inches from the drivers skull. For safety sake, please add some padding to that bar. In a simple accident the driver could be killed by a head injury.

Great story until the Wall St part. Beautiful car though.

4:17 ...is that a Bentley key holder hanging from an E-Type key hole?

I have always loved the look of the E type. I built the plastic model of it in the 70's and it was always my favorite build.

Bad taste can ruin a beautiful car. What a poser. Those overalls are overkill. ( even if he did drive in that event ! )

As they say looks are subjective. I've never been a huge fan of the way the E-Type looks from some angles. While I do appreciate what it look like for the time it came out and the racing pedigree I just think the car is a little bit overhyped. Any of the Ferrari 250 models even though lusso or the 57 Testarossa appeal to me on a much higher level. I believe when it comes to bat shape Dotson got it right with the 240 again just my opinion congratulations on getting the car you wanted that is such a good feeling

originally terrible to drive. the worst handling car

Beautiful car but he's slower than a week in the jail!

Much better video when you mute the sound. 🙄

Lovely video Kenny. That E50 trip was great fun. Still got my E of course too. Good to see you again.

The N Y Auto show was held at the N Y Coliseum located at Columbus Circle during the time this owner refers to.

The "Jag" begs to be driven. Modern cars drive you. Thank you Petrolicious.

A real Jag-war type.

Tout a été dit et écrit sur la Type E, sublime voiture qui à marqué son siècle. ❤

Wow wow you reminded me of myself my father rest in peace Morgan owned 1967 series one 4.2 roadster with a factory, hard top original old English white me growing up as youngster used to play in it when it was parked up in the garage. Sometimes the key was in it when I turn ignition key and pushed the button. I remember what I loved about it. What’s the triple Wipes, i’ve never seen a car with free wipers and I knew it was special. It was a racing car made for the road, the dashboard the push button start. I remember I used to rev it up at a 10-11 I knew it was a beast It wasn’t meant condition, but it was a nice road Car I really miss it I wish I never sold it. Would you believe I sold it because my mum wanted it gone out the garage it was sitting in there for years and years. Would you believe it it was a series 1 roadster so much regret I think about every day or every other two days if I had it now and the thing is the bodywork was unbelievable. It wasn’t a rotten car. It was solid as hell with the money I’ve got today I’ll have to spend £70,000 make it mint never mind it’s gone now. The only thing I have left of it is the original glass that goes over the bonnet and the crime surround and original steering wheel hanging up in the loft. I also have the original heritage certificate. I will own another Etype one day 😂

@4:36 Calatrava cross. You know this gentleman has exquisite taste.

My granddad has a red etype! One of his first cars. My family is looking to sell that one and 5 others. If anyone knows of a buyer, let me know.

does every petrolhead have a story of when they were 2 years old and knowing which car they were definitely going to own?

"...you know the car and the car knows you..." 😂

Love the car, not the owner. If a car is a perfect girlfriend, you really need to get out more. Sexualising a car is so 1970s.. I do love the car, love what he's done to it. It looks better for it. But for the love of god, having a rollcage and no helmet is asking to be killed should he roll the car. It could have done with a half cage, or a more modern seat, or both. I wouldn't want to be in that car if it rolled. A recipe for death.

Yes ENZO Ferrari said it was best ever looking car ever made yes he was 100% right easily especially Series 1 absolutely the bollocks

Seems like a bloody nice bloke and he can even say JAG YOU ARE, not JAG WAH as most Yanks do. Good that the chap had a goal from being 8 years old and achieved his goal. Hats off to you there old love. Shame he can't pronounce coupè haha.

Gwendoline..... What! Give it up chubby and get a pick up truck and call it Mary.

cars should name themselves, not just get assigned a name...mine are old dog, dirty girl, magic mike, and butch...although I know a guy who named all 9 of his cars after the Brady Bunch which gave me a chuckle.

What has happened to Petrolicious? The background music is inappropriate, unnecessary and irritating.

I hope he takes care of the car better than he does of his miniatures... While I respect it, what I don't fully get is why "transform it to a race car" but stopping halfway with the mods.

The least successful Petrolicious. Full of visual and verbal clichés. It is not race car or a good road car and goes down the road like a sack potatoes. Production lacks authenticity.

Legend has it the car won’t start if you’re not wearing driving gloves🧤.....must be an anti theft device

Horrible name for a car but a wonderful video and a sensational automobile ...... Drive and enjoy for the rest of us.

First time I learned about bitcoin and casino coin. I was at classics on the green, and an E type had a Bitcoin and casino coin symbol on the side panel. When I asked what that was the owner laughed and said. You are the hundredth person to ask.....I bought this car with casino coin. Insured it with bitcoin

Solid work dude! As an FType owner, you have my complete respect

Typical british girls name......Gwendoline......😂

the way he talks about all this ya its hard to imagine this man has fucked anything but gwens exhaust pipes since '95. yikes

Oh it's a race car . . . BS , what race events did you drive in , I had to laugh when he said he took off a lot of weight from the car , then when he got into the seat and closed the door you could see the rear of the car sag down on to the so called race suspension . . . right.

Horrible. Rich guy takes a classic road car, turns it into a racecar so he can drive around like a granny. #SMH

Omg, fimally an American guy who knows to shift gears manually the only right way!!

Baaaaauuuutttiiful.such classic lines, Gwendoline is banging hot!

The auto show is at the Javits center, always has been. He quoted Enzo. Say no more.

E-Types look way better without the bumper bars and the over riders :-)

Seems right. Works on Wall Street, is overweight, and wears driving gloves.

My comment is "Kenny....No Strength, All Sweat"

Jaguar E type.... Another jaguar e type story. Is that all that’s interesting about cars? And Old 911s old Ferrari’s? Come on Petrolicious.

Another awesome video! Thank you, Petrolicious! 👌 IM 😎

Cool car, but why is this Wall Street fellow shouting so much ? Hearing problem or just the usual attitude ? A touch of modesty perhaps...

The Jag in Silver Streak was one of my first car crushes.

A beautiful car with a beautiful name. Very nice history also.

The arm rest and a roll bar......racing to it’s American best ;-)

The car is cool. As for the rest of the video...I'll leave it at that.

such a dream on wheels. nice video😀

Nice video, it is nice to here an American say Jaguar properly.

The most beautiful car ever made.

A wonderful story and beautifully told.

RIP Jerry Mouton

Nice car, would be nice to see it driven in anger.

So lucky my dad owned one big Fred from Jamaica

Remake this video with the chatter removed and add the engine sound.

Im 12 and they look like planes or spaceships in real life.

Chickens live in a coop! The Jaguar is a coupé.

so you destroyed an e-type then made an emotional video about it...

Sweet E-type and all the talk about modifying it.....and they're Khumo tires. WTF?

A thing of beauty is a. JOY. FOREVER

Waooo sir u hav a car ...car which makes it mean its a car..

Love that he gave it Herbie's number

Kenny, I also grew up outside of NYC and attended the 1961 auto show with my father. (BTW it was held at the NY Coliseum, not the Garden) I would pour over the brochures and event book for weeks and months afterwards picking out my favorites; always British and Italian. I just sold my most recent 911 C4S and bought/restored a 1969 Sprite. Nothing compares to 60s era British sports cars for personality! Cheers mate!

Wall street guy...are these worst than lawyers??

It's never too late to have a happy childhood

Question, Kenny works on Wall Street but this video looks like it was made in California. just wondering if that's where he lives? Does Kenny commute cross country? Piqued my curiosity.

Great vid as always. I wish I could borrow your video guy for a day to shoot a car.

The most beautiful car ever made, for me at least, would be the 1953 Studebaker coupe (Champion/Commander). That was THE CAR that convinced the American public that tall, boxy, and laden with chrome wasn't necessarily the best way to make a car. It was the Forward Look four years before the fact and it STILL gets no respect. Studebakers in general seem to be the Rodney Dangerfield of collector cars, but come on! I do agree that the E-Type is a pretty nice design as far as cars though.

Kenny Enjoy the ride!GTJOEY LIMONGELLI !Look me up Ill follow you in my Primrose coupe! After corona.....

Another good story, nice video. I just fel it lacks a bit more details, bit more technical approach and what the owner says about it and what he likes about it is not exactly what he does in the video... He's just cruising like an old museum car. Despite that, great piece of history.

My dad took me to the Auto Show NYC in the 70’s. Was always in the NY Coliseum I believe. Cars always brings me back to my father and those days.

I. Can so identify with your feelings for Gwendoline. I had the same attachment with a 1967 L-88 Corvette factory racer, 1 of only 19 made in 67. I lovingly restored it. My wife hated it! She said that I loved that car more than her. I told her yes, it doesn’t give me any shit! I told her that “if it had a pussy I’d marry it”! Absolutely Wrong Answer to give her”!

E types r cool

Top marks for pronouncing Jaguar properly old boy. ;)

All I could think about was the flying B on his Jaguar keys. That and my E-Type airfix just isn't cutting it. Lovely car though.

Fact check: New York Auto Show in those days was at the NewYork Coliseum , not Madison Square Garden.
