Classic car , Vintage car , Veteran car and RADwood era car restorations and car repairs from the vantage point of the mechanics, technicians, auto electric techs, panel beaters and painters that work to keep our motoring heritage on the road.
JagDaim Ep1 - First visit to www.jagdaim.com/ in Melbourne and what a start to the episode. Co owner Brian introduces us to a British Racing Green V12 E-type Jaguar. Then two examples of the XKE's successor, the XJS, one an early prototype that appeared on a German car show stand in 1974, converted to manual at the factory.
Then it's on to a Series III XJ saloon and an X300 before topping it off with a look over a Broadspeed replica.
Twice weekly visits to classic auto workshops featuring cars from the veteran to RADwood eras & including car restoration, rebuilds, repairs and restomods to anything from Aussie V8s, American muscle cars, Euro exotics, JDM, your coveted everyday runabout and more. If it's built before 1999, there's every chance I'll film it.
My name is Dave and I simply l love old cars and visiting workshops to chat to the people working on them. Added to that, I devour car content on youtube so I thought I'd join in and make some myself.
Hopefully you might like to come along for the journey as well.
Dave's Classic Garage Tours is on many of the socials

Must apologise about some of the editing in this video. I was editing very late and close to the deadline and ended up uploading a previous edit where I hadn't been so thorough.

My dad Jim owned the red XJS #027 for 16 years before selling it to Lou Guthry. The idea of the bumpers was to re-create what the XJS would have been like if they hadn't gone to the big crash bumpers for the American market. Jim looked at the prototype designs and used an XJ6 bumper to create moulds which he still has. The wheels that he bought the car with were Kent alloys and Jim then bought the Speedlines from JagDaim in 2009. Great to see this car going strong! It is a marvelous car to drive, especially with a manual gearbox. PS. he's just bought another 1975 XJS #197 and it too will get the same bumpers (maybe chromed) and a 5 speed this time.

WOW. Thanks for reaching out David. Greta backstory. I wonder, might your dad be open to a 'tour' of his collection and latest project(s)?

They are rather nice aren’t they? Now Rover coupes. Are we talking P5, 800 or 200 variants?

I actually prefer those slimline bumpers on the XJS prototype, makes the car look a lot sleeker.

@DavesClassicGarageToursV2 2 месяца назад

They are certainly a lot sleeker. Would prefer them chromed and in keeping with the rest of the trip. Though blacked out chrome all over. Now there’s a thing.

I own RHD XJ-S #104, the first 200 RHD cars were built with a few differences. The front quarter panels have square holes with spire nuts for indicator lights that were moved to the bumper before the car was released (there are photos of prototypes fitted with chrome bumpers similar to the S2 XJ6). There were no side impact beams in the doors. The first 200 cars also had a different accelerator pedal with no rubber cover, just black paint. The early cars usually had no door mirrors fitted at the factory, they were a dealer option or bodged on later. My car has its original Kent alloys, dated 1973, most of the Lucas components are also dated 1973, which shows how long it took to build the first 100 cars.

@DavesClassicGarageToursV2 2 месяца назад

That’s fascinating stuff. I suppose it’s all quite telling of the period in which they were built. Harmony wouldn’t be a term applied to the production process in those days.

@user-en9zo2ol4z 2 месяца назад

Four forty foot containers is an amazing amount of stock, and I'm hardly surprised that you needed to rationalise, although on my experience, I would have sold them as a job lot, except for the opposition getting hold of them I guess?

@DavesClassicGarageToursV2 2 месяца назад

I would imagine they tried. I went to a Mercedes breakers when I first bought my S123, fella there told me about the time he scrapped 50 perfectly good w123 doors. They’d have been worth as much as gold back in the UK

@peterdixon7975 2 месяца назад

Sorry but wheels at 13:30 on the Manual XJ-S Pre-HE are off a Jaguar XJR-S from the late 1980's. The car should be on the 15" Kent alloy.

@DavesClassicGarageToursV2 2 месяца назад

You know what I was trying to get at. Honest to goodness my mind goes blank when I’m holding the camera.

@user-en9zo2ol4z 2 месяца назад

A very beautiful example of the V12 E-Type. Do these engines still have the overheating issues I have heard about for decades? On a 45 C day, will it drive across town?

@DavesClassicGarageToursV2 2 месяца назад

That’s one for the experts I’m afraid Steven. I shall ask Brian on my return though I’m sure there’s one or two lingering here. Maybe they could answer.

@commonsense7754 Месяц назад

The jag definitely did not come on those wheels. The ones in the video have a visible centre cap and look chrome. The bumpers also don’t look stock in the video clip. I find it really surprising that the bloke restoring it doesn’t know and looked at those horrible 80s things thinking they were correct.

@DavesClassicGarageToursV2 Месяц назад

I didn’t want to argue the point. As he says though, the bumpers were from a later modification. All going back to 1974 German motor show spec in due course though. I’ll be checking the wheels are correct.
