Thank you very much for watching my videos 📹 😀 and for you very flattering feedback. I will keep focusing to make my videos as honest and informative as possible. Let's see what is coming up. 😉

Great comment, but these cars also do run with original spec. Sure can be improved if you feel better, or more relaxed. 100.000 lies in E Type, says it all. You love them as much as I do :-)

Hi there, you can actually request at the Jaguar Heritage office the correct colour code. Or you check here on the website www.xkedata.com/catalog/colors/

Thx for your lightning fast response. I found this page as well and on that basis I ordered a spray can of „Jaguar opalescent gun metallic 702“ (was offered like that). It was way tooooo dark 🫣. So, next step is talk to my paintshop buddy an contact the Jaguar Heritage. Or just to double check, do you remember your color code and manufacture? Have a nice Weekend

Hi Peter, many tanks for watching and your feedback. These reinforcements are coming from the OTS, they really need to have them. The FHC should be stiff enough but does not hurt to install them. ✅ It just shows that the Riga company is doing something extra although you do not see it. 👍

@@johnscott4014 This is opalescent bronze JAG-25458 from 1961-64.

Thank you for your well received and understood feedback. The idea is, to have a restored, reliable one to drive and enjoy, AND an unrestored extremely rare original with patina to collect. How many of those you find? How many of those still running original E Types have you seen? Especially a 61 car. Maybe only 10 of them still exist. It is like an original Van Gogh. All the others are just reprints, worth a fraction, but certainly less worries to expose them. 😁😁

Good to hear. A car needs to run properly. 😃

Hi Jukka, sure had variable speed all the time. Hundred of miles in construction zones, speed limit and also country roads. For me it was the perfect run in. The restorers also did 500 km shake down miles to fix all other previous issues. But to get a car really hot not just surface warm you need to do a few hundred km on the motorway. When you cross Germany with your E Type you will remember our trip. Weather improved so it was all good in the end. And it was also good to test the car in the rain. 😆😆😁

Hi Bill, many thanks for watching and your feedback. 🙏 Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎁

Hmmmm.... about the color. First time I had seen it I also had my doubts, but after getting used to it, you start to appreciating it. Let is settle. 👍🏻

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

😲😲 how can that be? Can you never or rarely drive your car? A rain shower can catch you any day, especially when you are touring. Today, the well restored cars do have paint on the inside, wax and better anti corrosion. I think NOT driving the car is even worse. You make me think of someone in south America who did not even had the wipers mounted. He asked me why the type has a screen washer switch but no nozzles. I asked for a picture and it was a S2 2+2. They replaced the bonnet and simply "forgot" to install the nozzle.

@@JaguarEType Well, here in Sweden we get enough dry spring, summer, and autumn days. But of course, if you're out touring, wet days will be hard to avoid. But I didn't mean that, really... Then letting the car be idle is of course very bad. But hard to avoid during winter and salty roads. Waxoiled my car extensively. Many body parts flame sprayed too. Anyway, merry Christmas to you all..!

@christerbergstrom8081 of course and I also fully understand your point. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Great comment 👍🏻

Well noticed the MOSS box, the new owner never drove a classic car. He instantly loved the engine sound and later he identified the typical MOSS sound what makes the car distinctive. You are right, the 3.8 gives you a more sporty and puristic feeling. Closer to real racing car, where the 4.2 is more comfortable. You only realize it when you have been using both and not just for a spin. The 2+2 which I also like for touring with my lady is even more relaxed. I would say the flat floor compared to the 2+2 is like a Lamborghini compared to a Mercedes. This car we were using, is totally rattle free, rock solid and very responsive. Plus the sound 💪

There are some restorations that you don’t question the price because it’s basically a car beyond a Jaguar. I’m thinking Eagle. It’s the same with a Singer Porsche or an Alfaholics Alfa Romeo. But strangely all three each costing lots are cars that the owner would drive regularly rather than just admire. I’ve sometimes thought that would be a perfect collection. All cars I’ve owned before as standard cars but an Eagle E type in BRG, an Alfa Spider by Alfaholics with the 275 bhp engine, a Singer Porsche targa and maybe an MGB by Frontline with the 370 bhp engine.

👍 thank you very much, I hope is it serving someone.

I have not been working at CMC and ca not comment on that. Our video was inspired by the auction description: " ...was subject to a no-expense-spared restoration by CMC, with 17 invoices issued between February 2018 and February 2020 documenting a total expenditure of £182,719.76. Today, this beautifully restored and highly correct early E-Type presents in immaculate condition." ? 🤔 As you correctly comment, a restoration costs a fortune, or a smaller fortune. "No-expense-spared" would make me think we are in the first category and hence I would expect a far better, more authentic, original restoration. If you agree with me, only a small fortune was spent, then the description "no-expense-spared" is misleading. How would someone less experienced be able to interpret it?

This is the "Abenteuer" after the restoration. 😁

@JaguarEType Gorgeous color, I love it!!! But that emerald green of the young restorers E-Type is most beautiful as well ...

@JaguarEType Gorgious color, I love it! But that emerald green one of that young restorer is most beautiful as well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Of course we did, that is what the 3 wipers are for 😅

@@larrylarry739 nothing wrong with that but I draw the line when it comes to salted roads.

Absolutly right. 👍🏻

Hallo Christian, du fleißiger Schrauber und Creator. Tja das war wirklich eine tolle "Probefahrt" bis darunter. Du hast RR und sonstige Jags, ..... aber der E Type ist schon echt sehr schön zu fahren. Wünsche Dir eine Frohes Fest und nen Guten Rutsch. Maikel

Oh, you are damned right, I am monitoring them all the time while driving. They really indicate me the condition of the car. And they are ALL important. The least important is the fuel gauge. Merry Christmas 🎄

Ha! Just looked closer and the ammeter is reversed versus RHD version. Charge is on the right in U.K. model I have, so all good, alternator (dynamo perhaps?) keeping up with demand.

Eagle eyes, but at some point the dynamo quitt his job, as you can see later in the video. A new experience for me as well. But good to learn something. Merry Christmas.🎄

Yes indeed, only the S1. It is really amazing 😀

@@JaguarEType thanks for the reply

@@georgewallerlll496 My series 4.2 series 1.5 had 3 wipers. The reason is the screen is very wide and not very deep!

Mine too. A 1 1/2. '67

@@gf4353 It is still a 1 in front 🙂

Hi John, eagle eyes, and knowledge. Yes, an early Countach with the periscope-type rear-view mirror. Pretty rare I guess. Every E Type should have visible spot welds on the underside. Maybe it was filled too much with paint as this company is doing several layers and polishing it all down again in order to get a very crisp reflection. But valid comment as always. Thank you very much for watching and always well received feedback. Have a wonderful Xmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎉

Nick, such a great tour, I am sure you would enjoy it too. It is still ahead of you and you should do something similar every year. Preferably with some other E Types together. The dyno issue is a common weak point, but it really is unpredictable, either it lasts or break. The next one installed will last. 😃 Even modern cars do break-down. Merry Xmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎉

Absolutely right! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year also, we ll definitely be in touch for a flat floor ride all together in 2025 👍

We were thinking about it, but it was end November and we were thinking to have snow towards Christmas in some areas, so we had to do it and you can not stop when you are touring and it starts raining. It worked really well, no problem at all. Just like in the good all days. Great experience, !!! Of course we had good food and wine every evening. Merry Christmas Happy New Year.

Sure you can ask, it is the same company I captured in an earlier video and you will re-discover this car ua-cam.com/video/0Yln3H3oAmg/v-deo.html. I had inspected the car in-between, and was confident to do such a tour. Merry Xmas. 🎄

Seems you know that issues 😁, it is really annoying and I hate to see that. Needs to be fixed. Should move smooth like in oil.

Yes, and they are even offered for sale? I mean, come on! 😩

You are right 👍🏻 and a very well selected and restored car.

It was a great pleasure. 👍🏻

Good day Andrew, thank you so much for your comprehensive feedback. Much appreciated. My aim, with such a video is to encourage undecided classic car enthusiast to buy such a wonderful piece of art and use it. The pleasure, joy and freedom is the ROI. The new owner thoroughly enjoys the car. I think he is in love with it 😁.

Wonderful, isn't it. The sound and the grip on the tarmac is just a pure pleasure. 💪

Thank you for watching and your welcome feedback. Fully agree with you. 👍🏻

Shame on me, they are really rare.

Many thanks for this specific feedback. It was actually my intention to transmit this feeling of being part of the trip. I wanted to show what it is like and that it is much, much better than most people are expecting. It is a flat floor and certainly not a trailer queen. It is an investment to enjoy and show on the road. The reinforced inner sills do make the car stiffer, usually used in roadster but the company in Riga also did it in the FHC. Not original but another improvement done by the restorer. The colour is opalescent bronze. A bit richer than the golden sand. Merry Christmas 🎄to all my friends in Australia. Happy New Year and stay tuned for more to come in 2025. 🎉

I'm glad you like it, and probably you got an idea how much we did. 😁 Especially in east Europe, the reaction was even more exciting. Most of them probably have never ever seen such a car in real life. Great trip. I would definitely do it again and will do other trips with other E Types. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 🥂

You are right my friend, and it was one of these you can not order online but you have to it. I hope we have encouraged some other to use their cars in a way it was built for. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year. 🎉

Not that I am aware of. The sound is different, but more difficult to set.

Thanks for sharing, I think he still feels privileged to own such a wonderful car. They are rare. 👍🏻

You know them by hard, right. Spot one 👌 Merry Xmas and a happy new year 🎉
