Great Cars: JAGUAR documentary
Вставка

- This documentary tells the story of one of the great cars, and one of the world's most famous car makers - Jaguar. In 1961, Jaguar set out to capture the world market with the legendary XKE or E-Type Jag. The Jaguar E-Type stole car lovers' hearts and is still considered to be one of the most romantic roadsters ever produced.
The Jaguar Company actually got its start 40 years earlier in Lancashire, England, as the Swallow Sidecar Company. Within five years, the company branched out into automobile body manufacturing and all models began with S.S. for Swallow Sidecar. But as World War II came to an end, “SS” had a sinister connotation. This unique car company needed an exceptional name, and Jaguar Cars Limited found one in the name of a wild breed of jungle cats. In 1961 they introduced a car that was as exotic as their name - the E-Type Jaguar. It became a vibrant symbol of the Swinging Sixties (1960s). Jaguar tumbled from this lofty perch as its quality and drive for innovation vanished. Only after being rescued by doting Ford Motor Company in 1989-1990, and then sent packing - sold to India's Tata Motors Ltd. in 2008, the Jaguar “Cat” is once again leaped ahead and took its place as a leader in the automotive jungle. #luxurycars #Britishcars #jaguaretype #jaguarcar #indiatatamotors #sportscar

Having owned two 67's, early and late, having 10" added length for highway cruise, there has been no more beautiful car ever produced. As our life winds down, our memories carry us with a smile.
One of my uncles has owned a 1993 Jaguar XJ6 sedan. It worked very well for him. I haven't heard about any serious problems with the car. It was very reliable for him.
I always enjoy the Great Cars videos. One of my first model cars as a pre-teen was an XK-E. Always liked them. My family owned a Triumph TR--3 and then a TR-4 that I got to drive as a Senior in high school. I think that the Jags were beyond my parents financial ability or I am sure my step-father would have owned one.
I am an unabashed Jaguar lover and owner. From the `67 E-type, a 1988 XJ6 (XJ40), 1995 XJS 6.0 2+ convertible and my daily driver a Sapphire blue 1995 XJ12 SWB 6.0 Saloon.
jaguar cars are pure joy to drive ! i have a S-type 1999 V8
absolutely,
mine is a 94 xjs 6l and is still my daily.
wouldn't trade it for any of today's generic dreck! :-)
Gotta love that E type.
Jaguar, gotta love em
Fuel Injection in the 1950s, impressive
wonderful post, especially for us baby boomers who remember the D-Type LeMans domination. Thank you very much.
wonderful documentary!
Thank you very much.
There's at least one reason you should own a Jaguar so you can say: "alright (honey if you're married), I'll go and warm up the Jag. How cool it sounds!
EVERYONE NEEDS A JAG.!
Had to laugh , when the red xke pulls away at 14.41 there are oil spots on the ground every where,,,,.just perpetuating a myth here, love to own one,
It's not a myth, if they don't leak there out of oil..Speaking as a long time Jaguar owner and mechanic.
@15:08 is that a Low Drag Coupe or a Lister?
My father had 4 of them. 2 E's one with 3 carbs and the other with 2 carbs. A 3.8S and a mark 10. But my favorite story is at Green valley race way back in the early 60's. A ratty Jag XKE was ahead of a Corvette in the race and on the straight the vet saw it opportunity and floored it. The vet swug out into clean air and the front end came up and it hit the wall. Boom!. It was about a 63 vet that wasn't aero dynamic. It was too funny
0:21 nah, just beautiful……..
Missed the '50, '60s & '70s saloon range, esp. MkII. Pity!
Bin ich Link oder Recht Hand gewöhnen...............?
the 240z was along these designs until the remake,, some kid made the front end shorter,, RUINED IT.
I note they don't mention Jaguar is now owned by an Indian Company. Jaguar should change its name to Tiger.
Sie bestrafen Feilen Kind ohne richtig Begründet haben bitteschön....................!
Wünsche ich es Euch an jeder Frauen Lenker Gefühle haben können bitteschön
Jaguar beautiful and sexy looking for rich people
rich? nope. it helps to be a creative & capable mechanic though.
with each passing year these three letters keep popping up in regards to some of the parts: NLA.
such is the life and fortunes of the dedicated enthusiast.
"today's jaguars' .... are inspired by crap american cars by the looks of things
Benz left the race. They asked jag to do the same. The British felt it was better to run around dead bodies in a lone competition. Wonder why there not relevant today in the same race?
nihl hinz....I guarantee those dead bodies didn't mind if Jag continued runnin the race, cuz they were fucking dead....who gives a shit about Le Mans anymore really? we legal U.S. citizen race fans don't give two fuzzy shits about it, to be honest....
Stopping the race would have led to the huge crowds leaving. This would have meant that the dead/dying/injured would have no chance of getting to hospital as all the surrounding roads would have been clogged with the crowd returning home.
nihl hinz 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

The crash took place at 6.26pm, Mercedes did not pull out of the race until 1.45am, at a time when spectators were noticing that their brake lights were coming on earlier and earlier at the end of the Mulsanne Straight as their inferior brakes were starting to fade.Norman Dewis has stated that they cleared out their pits by the end of the race and he went to see them the following morning and found that they had cleared off from the hotel as well.
How can you be relevant today in the same race if you do not enter ! They came back in the late 80's , proved what they had to prove and retired again.
@@branon6565 what do you care about: Indycar? NASCAR? LOL
Jaguar is shit, 1961 E-Types ad campaign you can see how the car is slippin` and slidin` from side to side, dangerous car. Suspension may be derived from 1865 carts. Non efficient Engine
like the horrible Rolls Royce a greasy car ,full of unnecessary luxe details . Proof is that all english brands dissapeared . British nordic invasion`s people you were not born to design or build cars. You must need a reflection of your own fears.
Alfo I say BS. Maybe you think a fiat is better.
Alfonso Guerrero Estrella may I kill you? You t h o t.
Alfonso, you are a complete idiot.
The e type debuted Jaguars coveted independent rear suspension which was used in some form or another until 2006. IRS in 1961 when the competition was still using solid axles on leaf springs along with the dohc xk engine was ahead of its time
One of the weirdest posts I've read on cars
