Gerry Rafferty, Right down the line
You. Got it =)
I used to driver my brother’s 1954 XK120 all around town when I was in 9th grade around 1972.
That’s awesome driving one of these is a bucket list thing I always wondered what they are like to drive
You lucky 🍀 dog 🐶
When I was a kid, our neighbor had one just like this. He looked like Steve McQueen and was beyond cool. He and his wife would road rally with it; she navigated and he drove. To my young eyes, they were the epitome of glamour as they roared off. I got to ride in it a few times. Unforgettable! One of the most beautiful cars ever made and the start of my Jaguar obsession.
I wish one day to drive one.. be a bit scared tho they are getting pricey
Hey Jay, this Jaguar is gorgeous!!! It's classic lines are as exciting now as they were 64 years ago!! 1958 was a fantastic year!!! Thanks for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍👍🦃
Always loved this styling personally like the xk120 more but this isn’t that much different
The highest recorded sale was $302,000 for a 1958 Jaguar XK 150 S 3.4 Roadster on March 05 2022. The lowest recorded sale price was $24,500 for a 1958 Jaguar XK150 FHC Project on January 30 2020. The "Trunk" is the "boot" on English cars. This is a very nice example, looks very straight and clean. Of note: Jag used disc brakes in 1953 at LeMans:
The disc brakes used on the 1953 Le Mans winning C-type had six piston (six pot) callipers (three pistons per side) each with separate brake pads on the front, and four pistons on the rear. It is only now, more than 60 years later that ‘six pot’ callipers are becoming standard on high performance road cars.
These were great cars, leading the way to the XKE. Got one of those to review, hopefully. Also you had GREAT headroom in that Jag, lol.
Wow thank you so much for sharing all of that information =)
Yeah reviewed the xke going to hit it again need to do the DOHC 6 version
Loads of head room in convertible =D
That's a beauty! It's held up a lot better than I have. 😆
I have owned a XK140 OTS since 1968 it is my favorite Jaguar. I also have a XK120 FHC,a XJS convertible. I purchased a 1952 Bentley R Type in 1996 to have a proper British Saloon.All of these cars are driven regularly and admired by all who see them.
Awesome sounds like you had some really cool cars =)
Thanks much for doing this car! One of the sexiest automotive shapes ever. I had to retrieve an XK120 from a parking lot once and it had a surprise anti-theft feature: with the two side gas tanks, it had a L & R tank switch on the dash that always reset to the center position when you shut her off, which I didn't know about. Only had enough gas to get it into the middle of the street when she shut down on me. 🥴
I think the xk 120 is the best looking of the three the lines are deeper and gives the car a more sculpted look I want to drive/go for a ride in one, one day =) that would be epic
Cool. I thought you would only be covering American cars for some reason, but I'm glad you're doing the British and hopefully the European cars as well. They are from a different mould. From styling to the engineering, so many amazing accomplishments from overseas.
I want to hit every body or style American car from 1936-1964 and want to cover as many export cars as possible really want to hit Datsun Classic Honda fiat, NSU ( Wankle engine) this channel is going to cover the cars the other channels don’t car to talk about =)
Nice example of a car I know nothing about and only see in old movies. I thought it was nice to have the original steering wheel with the car in the trunk.
Yeah information on foreign cars is hard to find sometimes this one wasn’t so bad I wish I could have found more ads tho
Another good show. The styling on this one is to die for. The red upholstery with the medium grey paint is perfect.
Put me down for two, please, :-)
I love the color of this one
Hi Jay, Lovin' this video! You've made some nuanced refinements to your presentation and the result is smashing! That's British English for "fantastic"! The XKs are, in a sense, the ultimate classic drop-head roadster. Jaguar topped themselves with the E-Type, but then, well...never quite the same, though recent models have their vitues indeed. But, in general, today's roadters, with their automatic transmissions, AC, heated seats, gooey but hard suspensions, cannot replace these masterpieces. Modern models may be "better", but they're just not "EVEN BETTER"! Great video!
Thank you so much for digging this video I wanna do more jags in the future as well as English cars definitely wanna do an Aston DB5 one day hopefully I’ll have a chance.. =)
Not sure if you ever saw it but my favorite episode of Top Gear or one of my favorite episodes of the original Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond James may was when they did an episode with the XK 120 a train in a Vincent black shadow did you ever watch it it’s epic
Here’s the link if you never saw

@@What.its.like. DB5s, my favorite! I've family in the town where AMs were built. To watch the craftsmen work the aluminum engines and body panes was amazing! DB5--style that never faulters!
My favorite of all the Jags, except for maybe the late 40s or early 50s Mark IV DHC. The XK-150 had a certain heft that surpassed its predecessors.
Yeah and the lines (what made the car stand out) are almost gone car still looks good just not as good as xk120 in my opinion
I’ve always wanted to at least drive a Jaguar 150S. Owning a 1959 MK1 3.4 Sedan was as close as I ever got. On an historical note I paid $1500 for the 3.4 in 1963 on a local Buick dealer’s used car lot. Heavy depreciation on “foreign” cars back in the day. New $4600.
Somethings never change nothing depreciates faster than an AMG Mercedes just saying...
Sleek, cool, sporty, and sexy, this car was destined to be a classic from the get go!😎🤩 You can be sure to find them in the old classic movies as well.
Love this Jag.
Would like to have it when I was 23 to 30. 😂
Thanks
Great video, Jay... What a beautiful vehicle.
Thank you =) xk series jag has a place in my heart
Excellent!
Thank you I want to drive a xk120 one day
Great looking ride. Too bad you weren't able to take it out for a road test.
I wish I was able to perhaps one day I want to cover xk120 as well as zk140
That car is in outstanding condition. 🤩
It was, I always loved these cars my sugar was crashing when I shot that should have ate before going that’s why I looked like that didn’t want to leave before doing that car…
@@What.its.like. (G--_R----_R--_D--_T-_L--)
👍
Gerry Rafferty Right down the line.
Someone just beat you to it
@@What.its.like. I will accept 2nd place if the prize is a test drive of that Jag.
I wish I could have drove this... but then again idk jags are one of those cars that are great when running good and a totally nightmare when they aren’t
Land rover series 3 had two piece windscreen into the 1980s
Interesting
I wouldn’t give 5 cents for a new Jaguar. They are now related to the Land Rover/Range Rover SUVS.
Totally agree I shot a video of the f type jaguar like almost a year ago BUT the dealership was super weird to the point of being super uncomfortable so I never aired it.. I think I deleted the footage
That was a car I always liked and after riding in it it wasn’t that great it was cramped and hard to see out of it was like being in a hot rod couldn’t see but fast
Could you sometime video A Jaguar XJ series sedan. Any year would do.
Yeah I’ll definitely look for one of those there’s going to be an XJV 12 mid 80s on the channel eventually
Steering wheel is.not.right
WAT A WORLAS JANK ILIKIT . I USTO OUN A 1992 JAG . CUD NAT GAT PARTS FOR IT .FORGAT THEIS CAR S
Aww.... coherence is hard, innit.
Also, adult tip: all caps does nothing to render alphabet soup more inteligable; it just makes you come off as a possibly brain-damaged nutbar.
