I wonder what happened to the real James Corden ?, the one that was never effeminate until he started acting like a limp wrist on that so chat show of his...
Honestly this has shed new light on Corden for me. A lot more down to earth than what he comes across in other shows/ interviews. He seems to know his cars and that’s always a plus in my book
@@Gobbygoblin I’ve seen him in person multiple times, what you take for fake is something completely different, then again I’m from London, so maybe I see things differently to you.
Some of these were recorded months to year or two prior. Around 2019, e30's would sell 1500-5k; The chip crises and the pandemic boosted prices by alot.
I like that the e-type has many similarities to airplanes. Even know a airplane fabricator that works on his e-types using the same skills of fabricating aluminum parts you can’t find anymore. He shows up to car shows with the best car every time.
The English have more respect for longevity and the experiences of their elders than Americans do. You say to an American teenager, "I've been doing this thing for longer than your parents have been alive" or "This thing's 200 years old" and their response is inconsiderate at best.
Haha this is so true I have friends from great Britain and Wales I tell them I'm going on vacation aka holiday and it's a 3 hour drive they say holy crap that's a long drive.
I delivered newspapers when I was 14 or 15 and a college student had a what I believe a XKE Jaguar . While I was delivering newspapers I saw this car on the street with the hood open . When I saw the engine I was very impressed. And the body was outstanding. I still think it is one the most beautiful cars I have ever seen . It looks fast just sitting!
Alright, who wants to tell the show's producers that the current value of a clean E30 BMW 325i is not $1500... Multiply that number by 10 and then you're in the ballpark.
@Chester Dougherty Nothing personal, but if you think I'm the only one who cares about E30 BMWs, you are profoundly mistaken. They are very much collector items now.
@@ZeGermanHam currently a 2008 Honda fit with about 68,000mi. On it. Probably gonna get a second car beginning of next year. My understanding is new cars will probably start Shipping again in the spring.
I absolutely love it! You guys made my day! So funny. A lot of nostalgic moments starting with the Abbey Road album cover which decorated the living room along with other albums growing up.
At 11:15 the expressions are 'we'll cross that bridge when we get to it' and 'don't burn your bridges'. Blending two phrases together like this is known as a malaphor.
E30 BMW FOR $1500?? Not in my town baby! LOL. These even the convertible model in that condition start at $6500 easy and much more for a Manual two door hard top. Try $15000.
definitely a dream car that James could potentially own, either an all original (that could break down), or one of the modern restomods to make it perform as well as it looks.
I had a 1976, 2002, Orange Coup BMW. Best car I ever owned. $7,000, off the showroom floor. I’d buy another one today! Handled great! Accelerated unbelievably with a four speed stick. Oh I miss it....
When I first moved to the East Coast from Los Angeles, I remember being awed at the age of the buildings there. When I shared my amazement to a friend, he explained that New York was nothing compared to many places in Europe. I replied. “On the West Coast our idea of a historical landmark was the first McDonald’s”.
That was REALLY cool for Jay to give James that car. Truly a nice gesture. James is by far my second fav host/comedian, he was my fav but that’s now that tall dude with red hair that shouts all the time, O’Brien. Team CoCo
I had a 1980 VW Rabbit diesel, the 1.5L with 50 whole horsepower. It was a two-door, white, A/C, 4-speed, and I got better than 60 mpg on the freeway at 60 to 70 mph, and she was purring at 65; the sweet spot. That car never let me down, ever, and running around town doing errands, running her hard, I got a solid 45 mpg! I bought it used from an Audi dealer who took it on trade; they practically gave it to me because they thought they would never sell it; in fact, a wholesaler had already put in a bid for $1000; I offered $1200 cash on the spot, and they bit like a starving dog, LoL. At the time, it was 4-years old with 18,300 miles on it, not a scratch. In 1995 a mechanic friend offered me $2000. I let him have it, and he still has it to this day. I need to mention that the A/C took half the wind out of the thing, but on the highway, unless you're are in hilly terrain, it was fine, but around town, be sure to look both ways before pulling into traffic; it takes a bit of time to get going. It's best to turn it off until you get up to speed and kick it on.
These comments are so bizarre to me saying "maybe he's alright". He's ALWAYS been down to earth and sincere, and legitimately happy to be where he's at in life lol. I don't get a "fake" vibe from him at all. If you're American and all you've seen is him on the Late Late Show, go watch some clips of A League Of Their Own, a British sports gameshow, and maybe you'll understand more how he's just a decent dude enjoying himself, especially when he interacts with his pals on that show, Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Redknapp, and Jack Whitehall.
I looked them up in my city and they’re going for around $2k and that’s with the inflated value from covid shortages. I have a feeling it’s one of those cars that’s worth more in England & Europe than it is in the US. That’s one of the ways people in the classic car business make a lot of money. My uncle used to import Jaguars and other old English cars that were rare in the US back in the 70s 80s & 90s and made a pretty good living doing it.

@@LudiCrust. This is sooooo far from the truth and I can speak to this because I just bought an E30 at auction. A convertible 325i is this immaculate of condition, even without the hardtop, is worth $15k at the absolute lowest and would be scooped up instantly at that price. And also covid shortages don't inflate classic car prices, the EV era looming is, and it takes a basic understanding of the classic car market to know every single car in this video, including the E30, will only get more expensive for the rest of their lives until they hit 90-years-old and settle forever.
A convertible 325i is this immaculate of condition, even without the hardtop and an auto, is worth $15k at the absolute lowest and would be scooped up instantly at that price. Perfect condition, original interior components and body panels could likely be parted out for nearly $15k with some time and the right eyes.
I never noticed the Triumph Herald from the Abbey Road cover. Now I look I can see it there, just above Paul's head. Now if they could have got the VW Beetle LMW 281F that would have been something (though I believe it's in the VW museum in Germany).
The Jaguar XK120 Coupe. It was called a 120 because it could go 120. The speedometer on it says it can do 140. Nice looking car but I really liked the 1972 XKE. Good looking even by todays standards.
I remember 5 years ago when some guy begged me basically to buy his e30 coupe for 800€. It was a high price back then for that car and said no. Man do times change…
When I was a little boy and had two favorite Matchbox cars, now mind you this was in the mid 60’s..a Buick Riviera and a Jaguar like this one…I can definitely understand why so many people love this body style their just so cool….👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
USA: you drive 100 mph (160kph) - you in trouble Germany: you drive the same speed in the left lane of a 3 lane highway on a non busy day - people curse at you for being slow and for blocking the fast lane 😂😂😂😂😂
My dream car is a black on black 1971/72 Charger RT with a 440 Magnum with the hideaway headlights. Well also a black on black 1970 Cougar eliminator as well.
"We've redecorated this building [in Miami] to how it looked over 50 years ago!" And people were going, "No, surely not, no. No one was alive then!" - Eddie Izzard. We have bits of 2,000-year-old Hadrian's Wall just over the road from us. And that's considered quite recent.
Love Eddie Izzard. However to be fair, people have been settled in North America for tens of thousands of years. As long as, if not much longer than people have inhabited the British Isles. Guess it's just what certain people maintain and value, I suppose.
I have baffled a lot of people by shouting 'Surely not, no one was alive then!" whenever I see a sign boasting that 'this house was built in 1989' or a product label with 'Est 2002' on it...
@@ChristopherLuth1974 you are totally missing @gholwith 's point. He did not infer Europeans, he is refferring to the fact that WELL before the "European white men" or the Vikings stumbled upon America it was populated by the humans that were oiginally from the region we now call Tibet/N China. There has been scientifi proof of what we call "native Americans" are actually nomadic Asians. Do you not think it odd how Tibetans, Mauris, Hawaiians and "native" Americans all look very similar in their features?
watching McCartney's face, the emotionality of spending day driving around with James, the memories, I'm betting, Paul holds that day, as pretty special too....I've watched it more than once
That was so fun! Great guest, beautiful cars, my uncle had that XKE but I'm not as familiar with that 54 Model... then I somehow KNEW earlier that Jay was going to give him that car!!
