Well this is a great video, which I found very enlightening for the history and production run of Jaguar E Types. I will watch the whole video again so I can take more of the detail in. Well done to the 3 of you.
Hi Paul, thanks for watching. I watched it all again on my TV-Set. and thanks to 4k quality, the pictures are awesome. I almost forgot about a few of the things we discovered. What do you think about the S2 with the union jack design? I really did not expect to see one in real life. 😳 Keep watching.
@@JaguarEType I have mixed feelings about the Shaguar , looks striking but detracts from the beautiful lines of the body work. There is no need to try and improve on perfection.
Hello (from Florida) Maikel, your video out of Essen is extremely helpful for people like me who couldn’t go to the show. The extent and depth of your observations on each EType was outstanding. So great many thanks for your time and for this video. Am one of your recent followers but since I have been looking for a 1961 (early/first 1600 cars) for 6 years, your videos have been of tremendous help at raising awareness on details that make or break a so called “original”. I may ask you for some help with a couple of candidates identified recently. Gil G.
Hello, and thank you very much for watching / commenting my videos. You are most welcome to contact me for any early car matters. The 61 and early 62 are my special interest due to the many changes and development. You find my details in the description below the video. Take care. Maikel 👍
Hello Maikel, thanks for your video. Always very intersting. As you’ve probably seen, the Belrose one was already shown in Retromobile last February. Still not sold
Wow, very good, you are a real follower. I like that 😍. Also the white OBL, the 2 red FHC and the green FHC were offered last year at the same show. What does it tell us?
Hi Maikel, great video. So nice to see the varied types and standard of E-type’s out there, fascinating. Looks like you and RMO had a great time, who wouldn’t with all those E-types under one roof. I’m not sure if I’m the only one but there was a bit of a constant issue with the audio/microphone which made it a little difficult to hear what was going on and being said. However, I still enjoyed what you uploaded. Keep them coming please. Thanks.
Hi David, sadly, you are right with the micro. We only realised in the evening when back home, but 2nd day, about 2/3 into the video is all good again. What a shame, we both said. We both promise to improve. Please keep watching and commenting. Thank you.
This was soo enjoyable...like being a confectioner (someone who makes candy...in our case a restorer...like Adam..the artist) then just getting to go shopping for candy at the candy store. What a joy for both Vicki and I. Thank You Richard and Maikel...Mitch
Many thanks, Mitch and Vicki. We had a really good time, and I was surprised to see that many S2 and S3. But also 4 OBL 's. Interesting market, what do you think🤔
Hi Mikael, I’m learning so much from your videos. E types seem to have such a huge disparity in prices, even on comparable cars. Do you find there’s a price difference between Europe & UK cars, and how do you see the market going in the next year or 2? I’m starting out on the road of custodianship. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. I find there is a difference in price between the UK and European market. Especially if you are trying to sell to Europe, the Brexit certainly did not help. A very original car, especially the early ones, is highly demanded and usually not offered it public. These cars (call them "blue chip") command a completely different price compared to a hurry up, passionless, reproduction restoration. The early, collectable cars will take the same route as the Ferrari Dino. Time has come that more and more people do understand the difference. However, there is still a low budget market for E Types that at first glance do look ok, but will require a substantial amount of money and a professional workshop to fix it. Not what everyone has at hand. Do not think that those cars, sold or offered for little money, are a bargain just because they have the E Type shape. It is the number of countless small details that make the difference between a valuable and a trouble car. Buying an E Type is a minefield, and you better make sure to have an expert with you and become fully aware of what you are dealing with. For many people, it is more convenient to sell a car cheap rather than spending a fortune to fix it. How many restorations stalled just because the costs exploded? 🤯 You can contact me for more information if required. maikel.lemke@etypes1.com
Wonderful collection of E Types.The way you two look into these automative icons is flawless .It just cannot get better than this can it. What is sad about it is that a lot of us me included have just been out priced of this cars.
Well see ot this way, they are still out there for the same money like a modern new car which is loosing in value instantly. The offer and demand and now also the restoration costs dictate the price. Usually, these cars are owned by 50+ people who are financially sorted and holding on to their dream rather than having even more money in the bank.
Maikel, thank you for the full review of e-types at Techno Classica. Finally, I found time to watch this! This was nice as I missed it this year (visited there annually since 2007) so I didn't miss it thanks to you and Richard. What a duo you are when it comes to e-types 😊 And nice to see Harri there too 😊
Richard, we will do a better one. This was a good try, but we also need room to improve. Looking forward to the Loh Collection video. (is this a spoiler) ?!
Hello Maikel, interesting video with you both about offered E-types with extremly high orientated prices for sometimes unacceptable details. Something like that wouldn't even come close to my thoughts on the end result. As a master craftsman and sheet metal specialist, I'm used to much better accuracy. Greetings from Dülmen, Dieter
Hello Dieter, good to hear that. We have seen so many cars cars just restored for the unskilled eye. Sadly that is the major market place and sadly too many enthusiasts are falling into the shine trapp. Let me know if I can recommend you not just for metal work but also for keep the E Type running. Best Maikel
Maikel and Richard, this is a terrific video for fellow “E” Type nerds. Thank you so much. I’m halfway through, I’m rationing myself. The Polish/English fellow’s “E” Type roadster had originality flaws as pointed out elsewhere but the most obvious was the R prefix 3.8 cylinder head. I think he’d been taken for a ride and doesn’t know as much as he thinks he does. The UK restoration figures he was quoting are nonsense. Keep up the great work.
I totally agree you, the Polish English guy from England is talking crap, and I do know about Etypes I agree I saw that as well R prefix on the cylinder head, and I said to myself, that’s not right. I’ve seen many guys like him talking to Billy big bollocks he’s got dough around him certainly he saying he’s lost 100 grand on it. Well that tells you a lot don’t it. Listen Jaguar Es don’t cost that much to totally restore and done properly seriously don’t. If you a series,1 Etype please please just take it to an E type or XK Specialist and it will be down properly. My father had lovely honest solid solid as a bone S1 4.2 Roadster sitting in the garage 20 odds years on axle stands with an original factory hardtop when I mean solid solid 2020 car 😂 my parents passed away and was sitting in now my mother used to drive it as well to go shopping around London. I was from Caribbean parents My dad was a boxing promoter used to hold BOXING events at Hilton Hotel. Also Grosvenor house hotel Park Lane Cafe Royal Piccadilly and Royal Lancaster Hotel, Bayswater my father Fred was way ahead of his time Love all Cars he had 2 pagodas Merc 230SL and a 1968 280sL also back in day MK1 Lotus Cortina he was no mug he knew his toys RIP Dad and Mum.
The E-type guy has no idea who he is talking to. They have forgotten more about cars than he knows. The manifold isn't even re-porcelainized. That rivet is another red flag. "I don't mean to be arrogant". So don't be. Jive talk.
Hello there, 👋. How busy was it on Saturday. We were there on Wednesday and Thursday to avoid the big crowd. We have never seen so many different E Types for sale in one place. Very exciting. .
@@JaguarEType Hi Maikel, I wouldn't say it was a huge crowd on the Saturday. There was enough space to move around in the 8 halls and take photos! Amazing show though in terms of number of cars and the quality. I was also looking at all the E-Types like yourself!
Great vid.. and a wealth of knowledge, Richard you were saying that the webbers transitioning to the main jet could be troublesome for everyday driving, try the 5 hole webbers, tuned properly on a rolling road they are awesome 👍
One micro was not working all the time, was trying to save most I could. However, it varies in the first 1h 20min and the last 30 minutes are all good again. Sorry for that.
Good video, not too sure that this late OBL featured here would have had the wider band lower windscreen Chrome ?Parts listing on Jaguar parts book would likely verify?
Very good point. The wide lower windscreen chrome was mounted including cars 875309 and 850087. Another fact we discovered on further inquiries, the Aaldering golden sand car for 205.000 € at 14:23 is actually not an OBL but a flat floor 875403. When do I get a chance to come and see some other parts and cars at your place?
@@JaguarEType Whilst we can’t be certain over every part detail of each and every OBL originally produced ,we can be certain that over the years many modifications and interpretations of the OBL cars have come about with many of these crossing my path as an enthusiast ,restorer and reseller of these cars for over 40 years now .Great to see these videos here in the UK ,produced by an expert team with expert knowledge ,thanks again from a fellow OBL enthusiast .
Hello Maikel and Richard . Great coverage from the Masters of the Universe 🤣 ! The arrogance of that Englishman with the Polish restorer was breathtaking ! And some of his comments were libellous . You simply cannot make those kind of comments . His car fell well short of the standards of top class . The crude welding of the outer sill to the closing panel (identification plate ) was obvious . And l could tell you couldn't wait to get away ! Richard , you made me chuckle when you made the comment about looking for damage to the nose . I have deliberately left witness marks on mine ! When l stripped the paint off my '66 l could see the front outside of the bonnet had evidence of lead loading . I had already dismantled the bonnet to it's single components , so when l turned the centre section over l could readily see where the panelbeater had used various methods , including a slide hammer ! 😱 to repair the bonnet . I thought about it and decided as l couldn't see any obvious distortion before l stripped it then why hide it . Lead loading was the only "filler " available until the very late 1960's early '70's. So l think the original owner had a bit of a shunt , didn't wish to make a claim so took it to his local bodyshop and paid for a cash repair ! So for me it tells a story . However , l did quite a lot of planishing to improve the repair . In fact l've only just finished flatting down the inside of the bonnet (which took 2 days !) prior to painting it and did have a rethink but decided to stick to my original decision ! I'd hate to choose a favourite but the final car's paintwork had very little original paintwork a far as l could tell , the obvious sign was the colour difference between the bonnet , "A"post to door . It's a common mistake . The bodyshell gets painted with the opening panels removed . A mismatch of colour is inevitable ......even with solid colours. So enjoy seeing you two sharing your incrdible knowledge with us ......THANKYOU !
Haha, John, you were listening to that man?! 🧐 I was listening and ticking all the boxes and that is why I left it in the video. He is actually right with what he is saying about the restoration etc .... and that is why we did not look at the car in details too much for obvious reasons. But isn't that a classical scenario. A novice meets one of these, good talking people, and unless you do not have an expert at your side, you would want to believe every single word he is saying. I liked the phrase when he was saying that he is losing 100.000 €. How often do we hear that? 😂 😂 😂 And how often has this money not even been spent on the car !? We can not blame them, there are some people who wants to earn money and they have the chance to do it. Nothing illegal with that. Only bad luck if you are the one who has to add that amount of money after you have bought the car, just to make it the way you want it. Stay tuned, also to Richards Chanel. We have been to the most fascinating car collections in the world. Of course Richard know all the cars, it was just overwhelming and breathtaking. The "Loh Collection" in Germany.
