Thanks to The Bond Group for letting us experience this gorgeous 4.2L Manual XKE. And of course thank you to the Patreon Supporters who make this content possible.
Hey! Let me know if you’d be interested in taking my 2016 stage 2 manual GTI for a spin! Or if you’re going to any car meets this year!
Is this Jaguar for sale?
It IS pronounced COOPAY, It's a French word. COOP Is wrong.
@@andyelliott8027 Take it up with The Beach Boys.
@@andyelliott8027 Even brits say "coop" though. If they say it, it must be ok, right?
I love the long hood, the big dials, clicky shifter, and transmission whine
It's great to drive. It's great to stare at.
You're not alone :)
the clicky shift is a real treat
I had a 350z that was gutted and it whined like crazy. people thought something was wrong with it but it sounded perfect to me.
The British seemed to have wanted their trannies to make that whine!...I had that same sound in my 1959 Austin-Healey...When I first bought that used car, I thought the transmission was going to fail at any time!...I was wrong.
"Rather than wasting time on facts and figures that you can read on your own, lets go for a drive." This is why I like this channel.
My dad, who passed away in 2013, had one of these in red when I was a kid. I was too young to remember it, but I remember how special it was to him. He eventually had to sell it because the infamous Jaguar reliability was draining his wallet, but it was incredibly refreshing to see you drive this car. What a beautiful machine! Maybe one day I'll be able to get my hands on one, but for now, this will make do just fine.
Sorry about your dad. I do love how cars can so powerfully connect people to their past and loved ones.
@@TedwardDrives not the sort of car to own if you can't do your own maintenance. I had one for 15 years and although it took a bit of my time to maintain it cost very little money, it was incredibly reliable and was only let down once by a "dud" electric fuel pump. Overdrive was not available in any E type.
Biggest regret selling my 4.2 convertible e type 😔
Jaguar cars had excellent reliability except for the interval from the late 60s to the mid 70s, when they were owned by British Leyland. Even those cars (I owned one) could be saved by swapping out the electrics and staying ahead of the maintenance curve. Their design was sound -- it was the poor build quality that affected reliability over that time period.
@@johntechwriter Yeah,the 50s sports and production Jags were were well built throughout,together with the Le Mans successes really made the brand a respected name worldwide.Then came the decision from the initial founder members to sell,then it was down hill for the make from then on.
I have no idea who you are and I just randomly came across your video. I love your thought process and your approach to this classic is spot on. I'm searching E-types as I just bought a 67 a few days ago. I've wanted this car since I was 16, but so often your heroes disappoint when you meet them in the flesh. Your video convinces me I made a great choice. Thanks!
Oh mannnn that first gear whine coupled with the straight 6, what a soundtrack
Always assumed these DOHC engines redlined at 7,000 or 7,500 RPMs... surprised to see it down at 5,000... but that's under square small bore/long stroke British engines before the over square big bore/short stroke Buick/Rover V8 arrived...
All E-types are very pretty, but the series one is the prettiest of them all.
Yeah, the faired-in headlights completed the aero design. But they were useless at night.
Absolutely.
As Jay Leno once said in his XKE series 1 clip “Sometimes its better to be cool than safe”.
This is a definition of heaven. Like before even watching it haha
now this is the e type that i wanna see!
Thing is outrageous!
I love sound of old engines they have some kind a of charm
This is like a moving sculpture, a work of art. There's this symphony of analogue sounds and smells that come with a classic like this that modern cars just can't replicate. Everything about them amounts to a unique experience.
Dealing with this type of car, is like dealing with a woman...you gotta respectfully learn what the car demands/needs from you, and then figure it out!..These are cars that make the driver a part of the automobile. It is an exhilarating experience, that is hard to find in newer cars these days.
A significant part in the music this Jag makes is its singing transmission.
My 1963 E-Type Roadster...sigh...With that old Moss gearbox and that straight six, the sound, the heat which turned into steam in the rain, the quirky problems that were your constant passengers, all of it made for a visceral driving experience. Twenty-odd years, most of it a love-hate relationship, now looked back upon with fondness.
The car just makes so many great noises. The induction noise, the exhaust, the transmission noise, and the shifter engagement.
Hi, and greetings from the England. I watched your video wearing headphones. The sound of that engine is sublime and your narrative is absolutely spot-on, describing all the sensations of driving an E-type rather than giving the usual history lessons.
So far, the best test-drive video I've seen of a classic Jag on YT. Thank you very much for posting it.
the only automotive channel where I recognize the roads, classic car anywhere near Boston requires an extreme amount of bravery.
Hahaha I had the same thought. I’m in Medford
Nothing beats a cable operated throttle plus an N/A engine - oldschool forever
In Germany we use to say, refering to force inducted engines: Only half dead are being forced ventilated :P
It makes someone feel good that they're saving "the planet" by creating smaller engines...
My family is lucky enough to own one of these (1969) my grandfather purchased it in the late 70s. The most beautiful car in the world!
Enjoyed your review, thanks. Back in 1985, I drove a green E Type 4.2 for a whole weekend,.... it was delicious. For 20 years I drove a 5.3 Gordon Keeble. It was fantastic! :)
Omg the sound, the whine of the gears, that inline 6 and the body line ! Man this is just rolling art. Thanks for sharing ! Tedward ftw
Thanks Pete! I know these classics don't always get viral views but It's worth sharing the experience for the people who care
it's never too late to have a happy childhood. !!!!!
Owned a 66 E 4.2L coupe back in the day. This brings back many memories. In West Texas roads used to be in good shape and it was fun to open her up. On straightaways you could take your hands off the wheel and she'd hold true to the line. Great car.
65 was the first year for a 4.2. I had both. Now a 64 3.8
@@giovannipotenza123 You are correct. Typo on my part - corrected
Underrated content man, just found your channel a few days ago and I binged almost every video from the last year. Keep up the good stuff.
Thanks Cameron!
A manual now that's a fun car I would love to drive
I'm wanting a budget new car with a manual. sadly many including the civic don't include a manual option anymore! its getting a smidge harry for the manual. however I found that Nissan still offers a manual with the 2021 versa. so that will be what I buy.
I live in the UK and a lot of cars still have manual transmission which is what I have a 2015 Alfa Romeo MiTo which is fun to drive
The E-type and the Miura are without a doubt the most beautiful cars ever produced
add the Mercedes 300 SL to that list too!
@@emil.soderholm the Dino 246 GTS is prettier than the E-Type and the Miura.
That is the greatest engine sound I think I’ve ever heard.
Had a 67 roadster 4.2 liter I rebuilt with the advice of a Jag factory mechanic that was also on the racing team. He told me to put 10:1 pistons in it for more hp but to turn it over 2 two full revolutions without plugs and with a socket on the crank to make sure the pistons and valves cleared each other. He said if it stopped there was a problem because the engine was a hemi and everything had to clear. Bought the pistons from Vinolia in Cal. Ordered them balanced and had the rest of the engine balanced by the machine shop. When they completed the long block I asked the machine shop owner, who was into drag racing, how much hp the engine was producing and he estimated 300. When I finished assembling it and got it running it was definitely a Jaguar. Fantastic car to drive and greatest car I ever owned. As for gas mileage I use to get 15 to 17 mpg in town and 20 to 26 mpg on the highway and I didn’t baby it. I drove it like it was meant to be driven. Not bad for 300hp. Had to sell it due to loss of job and new family. Have regretted it a million times. Could never afford one now.
that's a classic, a stunning car with personality.
This car sounds so good that you could make this a one hour video and I'd watch every second of it...
Great to see someone who understands the e type and drives it well!! By the way that is a racing engine. It won Le Mans many times and lots of other races, as well as powering tanks and many other vehicles! Great video!!
I don't know why, but that little metallic sound when he changes gears, it just makes me wanna get this car, JUST for this noise.
Love the snick snick sound of that transmission clicking into each gear.
My Dad had a 69 XKE Etype. Maroon black top. It was beautiful. I remember he took my brother and me for a ride. Both of us small enough to fit in the passenger seat. At a 120mph he backed off I thought we were flying. Loved that car. He's gone now but such great memories.
In the early seventies I had a 1967 XKE 4.2 Roadster red. This was my most favorite car
I have ridden in, worked on and briefly driven these cars. They are as amazing as they seem. I absolutely love them
I Love the '67 4.2 Liter E-Type ! I may be a little biased because back in the early '70's I had a sweet 1959 XK150 S and my best buddy, Brother from Another Mother, had to one up me and he found and purchased a 1967 E-Type that was race tuned and once ran, very respectably, in the 24 hour Daytona Race, placed 2nd in it's class. It was a real BEAST, I was with him one time when we pushed it to the limit. The factory speedo on the car only went to 160 mph, but with a quick calculation of our tachometer RPM beyond the 160 speedo limit we figured we hit about 180- 182 mph @ 6500 rpm on a nice long straight away. Good Times !
Love the Jags !! I haven't driven one is 21 years and miss it.
I loved my '65 4.2.....Lord I wish I still had it. The car was beautiful to drive at the beach or flat out where one could. Thanks for all the vids
That sound about to make me act up! 🤣
I've got a '69 Series II roadster in the same, gorgeous, "pale primrose" color. Your video was fantastic and, since the weather was cooperative today, I could not resist letting my own "cat out of the bag" for a quick run today. Yes, they are indeed a driver's car!! My spine is still tingling from all the sensory input you get when driving an E-Type.
Just😍😍😍😍. That view from the drivers seat...OMG😍🙏 The experience driving that car must be about as good as it could ever get on the road.
Why can't they build cars like this anymore. So natural.
Cos it's a rubbish car for a niche market
In a word, safety.
No "blind spot monitoring" so a giant mega corporation won't put their money behind it. Sad times for the car industry.
@@dietznutz1 have you owned one?
@@werbinich7908 we all know old cars are rubbish especially British classics they are uncomfortable they roll around corners the brakes are garbage required constant maintenance I like them but they are rubbish
A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY. FOREVER
I like the rear hatch opens sideways.
Yes, and the wrong way for us Brits. 80% of e types went to the US, so it opens to suit loading from the right. We have to stand in the road to load up. Still love them though.
@@ceased2care can you do a conversion
@@chuckselvage3157 I've never seen one, & I've just had a look online & can't see any. It's probably possible but must be quite tricky, otherwise there would be some here in the UK.
Thanks to the Tedward for bringing us medicine for the soul.
Damn that would have been a better title
5:32 Oh my god the pontiac in the rear mirror. loved it
Oh yes - beautifully presented and thank you! There's something irreplaceably special about these cars and certain cars of this vintage. A few years ago I was able to take a Lotus Europa Black Badge for a spirited drive through gorgeous countryside. Of course a modern Golf R would kill it in a race, but for sheer driving pleasure, nothing compares to the visceral experience and direct attachment that comes from a beautifully designed vintage vehicle (no tech smarts). I miss my 964... Many thanks - a lovely immersive experience and cheers from Sydney - Dave
Most beautiful car ever built😍
'67 - Best year for XKE (& a few other Brit. / Euro marques). I thoroughly enjoyed that ride w/ you! - Thx!
I never thought that i would ever start to like old classic cars but last few videos from you just "awakened" it in me. I would give anything to drive one like this.
Keep up the good work, you're my favorite car guy.
this car is what i'd call "buttery smooth" no fuss to the engine, just nice smooth power.
An acquaintance of mine let me try this very model one Sunday about 20 years ago. I drove it for 15-20 minutes. That was a big mistake. The moment my test drive was over, I wanted this car for myself! LOL, I couldn't afford one 20 years ago, and I'll never be able to afford one. But I cherish that short drive to this day. And my impressions were exactly like yours. Thanks for this. Cheers! //Rick
The sounds of this car was so good it made me relax and fall asleep
My dream car. I prefer the coupe and yes, the series one. The proportions are spot on. Thanks for the ‘ride’.
Uffffffff man what a Gear Changing Voice 0:04
Had this same year as a roadster. Was affectionately(or maybe correctly) called the Series 1 1/2. The US version had the headlights low, but no covers and still had the dash toggle switches, 4.2 engine, and all-synchromesh gearbox. Side mirrors were an easy aftermarket option, I had them. They were nice chrome and looked original. Abarth aftermarket exhaust sounds from Heaven. As been said, it was gorgeous at any angle....even looking down on it from above. The Coupe though was the car to have, if for no other reason than it had some storage and a bit safer in a crash.......not that anyone cared in '67. Suspension needs tweaking and fatter tires. Lynx did a great job of making this care safer and more responsive. You can get into trouble easily by pushing this original car to its limits....but not as bad as a 911. Third gear was like sitting on a rocket. Yellow was the ugliest color IMO. BRG or Gunmetal Gray for the win. They got great mileage with an aftermarket transistorized ignition. I got 20 or better just hwy cruising if I could keep my accelerator foot under control. I put 120,000 miles on the car in just two yrs....I couldn't stay out of it.
All the new horses are so shiny and strong, the ferrari's and the lambo's, with 600 horses under the hood, but you just take one look at this old xke, and it blows them all away in pure style. This is way before sports cars became muscle cars, this is still state of the art....
I’ve had a Jaguar in my garage for about 22 years and I’m finally going to work on it !! It’s a ‘66 Convertible XKE . I will drive it once it’s done …. and then sell it .
Engine note: behold my magnificence.
Me: that rifle bolt shifter though... 😍
That sound gave me goosebumps. I love it! Great video, keep up the good work.
Thanks Christopher!
What a way to start the weekend... watching you drive another classic!
love the gearbox sound and that straight six just sounds like perfection
The shifting stick sounds sooooo gooooood
I love the sound of your double clutching. It transports me back to my XK120 days.
Mr. Ferrari was right.
This is the most beautiful car I have ever seen - inside and out.
A beautiful machine!
I really love the interior of old cars!
I've owned my '68 OTS with factory hard top for over 35+ years. Glad you got to drive one. It does have the same design as the multi year winning engine in the Le Mans Jaguars. Gear box in neutral with clutch pedal out & blipping the throttle on downshifts helps the gear box.
Love it! I respect the drive! Many happy drives in my dad's 66 XKE Series 1 Coupe when i was a kid! What an awesome car, red interior and english racing green paint and was once refinished in sliver as well. Great cars, lot's of fun for sure. Wish I had that car today! Thank you for sharing!!
What a beauty
When I was 20 I bought a Series-1 2+2 which was quite a mess. Loads of fun however. I never restored it properly, a friend of mine worked with his dad as a mechanic so he was able to help me keep it running. Thanks for the video, it brought back great memories.
Gotta mention great driving skills man. You make this car shift smoother than me on my stock WRX (it probably is).
Greatly appreciated!
Wow, what a visceral experience. Coupled with the amazing looks makes for a really special car.
Probably the best Inline 6 sound I have heard to date.
Love the clicking of the gearbox. Amazing.
Thank you for making these videos bro
Lovely moss box whine in first gear. Like music
Ahhhh, music to my ears. The moss gearbox with nonsyncro first, the 4.2 sounds healthier than the cars used for movie sound effects libraries. Awesome sound. Thank you for recording this, Tedward.
Great video! And you drove it properly. I’ve got a ‘65 S-type and it loves being grabbed by the scruff of the neck. “Drive it like u mean it” was what the guy said to me that I purchased it from!
In their early seventies I would take my e-type up A1A in Florida along the ocean back when traffic wasn't around (after midnight) was most beautiful thing you can imagine
I have a 69 E Type & love it. There is NO electric vehicle that can replace the driving experience of a real sports car!
From a series 1 E Type owner, the weight is around 2850 lbs, you had the heat on by the way!
Yeah, it is a cast iron block.
series 1 e-type is still definitely my favourite. such a beautiful piece of engineering. the sound is so intoxicating. thank you for spoiling us with these classics recently.
Couldn't agree more! Glad you enjoyed it
Love that interior (well, and exterior too, obviously)! And that sound, wow. Thanks for the great video.
You bet!
That sounds is just incredible!
Amazing videos, I've always wondered how driving these cars may feel like and this is the closer you can get, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Series 1, absolutely the more beautiful of all the variants. The proper E Type as the designer intended.
Yes, I owned a Jaguar, almost identical to the one you’re driving, Primrose Yellow. It’s a true sports car, not for the timid, the car is meant to drive and not like an old lady. I was thoroughly impressed with the performance and power of the jaguar the more I accelerated the better it performed. The only competitor at the time was the Porsche 911 Targa. I was always told the Porsche was faster. I finally got my chance to race one. The perfect scenario occurred. Hot summer night, no one on the street except me and the Porsche, nothing to stop us but the next red light it was on neither of us were backing off we raced from a dead stop, ball’s to the walls, pedal to the metal, my Jaguar beat the Porsche hands down. Next red light he wanted to go again so we did, we were hammering the gears I beat the Porsche again by a half car length I was very impressed with the performance of my Jaguar however the Porsche is a strong running car but the Jaguar was still pulling strong at 120 mph. The double overhead cams and three two barrel Weber Carburetors give the Jaguar extra top end performance. By the way you forgot to mention the Jaguar has telescopic steering wheel.
Wow! We just restored one of these at my work with the same colour, V12 and a convertible top. Super cool cars
I love the XKE. There is a video out there where a professional driver demonstrate the car's ability, and it would have put your Porsche and Corvette to shame! That cars handling ability is unbelievable if you have the skill
As a Brit, I appreciate the that way you pronounced Jaguar & coupe 😅
XKE POV video! I'll be coming back to enjoy many times :-)
I remember seeing a brand new 1966 XKE at a Jaguar dealer and thought why doesn’t dad buy one of these? So instead a bought a Revell plastic model of one and was perfectly happy at 13.
That view in the driver's seat with that steering wheel is beautiful.
My neighbor in San Diego was a British car enthusiast. He had all kinds of cars like several Rolls Royce, even a 1928 Ghost. He did not have a Jag though but knew them well. He said the early V12s had a serious problem with overheating because of inadequate cooling passages in the heads. They fixed it after about 72 with what they called the "Swiss cheese" heads.
I tried to buy one I saw at a specialty dealer there in the late 90s but he just wanted to much for it. Loved that car.
Love this channel 💪
Had a plastic toy from 65' in red
Separate battery gear shift control box & wires to car Loved these Jags' since
This may be the best E Type video out there. I had a 66 roadster back in 68-69. Third gear seemed like it pulled the best.
A wonderful review: informed, passionate, articulate, and communicative about the essence of driving a Series 1 E Type. My father and I shared one for over 40 years, a 1963 OTS Roadster. We bought and sold many other classic sports cars throughout those decades, but the actual driving experience was unmatched, even by quicker or newer tech models. The stunning bodywork was suitably augmented by the Le Mans winning racing power plant. The 10 quart oil capacity was a legacy of the racing development. Jaguar also pioneered disc brakes coupled with torsion bar front suspension, twin rear shocks on each wheel, and a body designed by Malcolm Sayer, a noted aircraft designer. His careful attention to low drag aerodynamic shape was a big factor in the Series I cars remarkable top speed, 150 mph. This was the World’s fastest production car, discounting very low production Ferrari models (GTO) for some time. It wasn’t until the Corvette and Cobra got the big block that they were able to match that figure. As for economy, I saw a best of 23 mpg on the freeway, exercising restraint. 18 mpg was typical, very good for the day. My High School years around 1970 were spent street racing, and there were quicker American cars in the quarter mile, but most ran out of breath at 115 or so. That is when the Jag shifted into 4th. LT 1 powered Corvettes were good for 137 mph. Those were the days.
Love the transmission whine!
Ultra satisfying
Wonderful experience!
