Ps- i wanted to add. We lost a brother in law to aggressive brain cancer. About 40 days from diagnosis to the end. He was a career soldier with ADF. Tours of Afghanistan etc. died age 56. What you have done re the charity fund raising i have found to be quite emotional for me. Thank you
@@TassieLorenzo Nope. I think the 2008 XJ is pretty good looking car. Not like a traditional Jag but very cool anyway. XK and F-Type are incredible looking modern cars too. Completely timeless design on both. XE and XF... hmm... they're a bit boring I have to admit.
@@TassieLorenzo Nah, when the sales are dropping, you need to change. It will allways piss off some old fans thats not customers anyway, but Jag needed a new car to survive. Just life.
Yes, I recognized him from the Harry travails. Like Harry I had an AJ6 conversion but on a much later 6.0 XJS-C with the later injection system. Modified induction, airboxes and ECU. Made about 40 more hp and had throttle response more like a carb engine which was lovely. So I was rooting for Harry keeping the AJ6 conversion but was really pleased when they abandoned the whole thing... and ended up with a much more performing engine.
My late father had a lovely XJ 4.2 Coupe which he took to Jaguar engine specialist, Ron Beaty, at Forward Engineering, and had a 4.7 litre blue-printed racing engine fitted plus upgraded steering and suspension. It was a fabulous car and the most wonderful colour that I’ve seen before or since - Midnight Blue. This was modifying a relatively new Jaguar back in the late 70s - so my Dad was a bit ahead of his time, really, and I think he would have liked to carry on with work similar to Harry Metcalf’s, especially a manual conversion, but, sadly, life intervened. I just loved sitting in the back with the pillarless windows down listening to that wonderful engine.
@thomas05ish , the Mk2 remains my favourite car of all, since my father's friend visited in his brand new example of one of the last, in the autumn of 1967. But the XJC comes closest!
That comment made me actually laugh out loud. Pretty sure I know who you are referring to, and yes I sort of agree, but I follow that channel too for the antics and laugh at that too.
Pillarless coupes will always be cool, and never more so than on an XJ12C. It wasn't until Tom started to talk that I put him together with Harry's car. Both machines are outstanding...
My mom had a Daimler Sovereign V6 in South Africa in the 1990`s...I learned how to drive in that car...when it eventually broke, parts were unavailable so it was sold to a guy that used the chassis for a Cobra project car...the two petrol tanks was a unique feature and the seats were quite possibly the most comfortable things i`ve ever sat in.
A former neighbour owned a Daimler XJ-C Double Six - a beige model. It was quite wonderful - a show car. After a clean, the owner would leave it with all of the windows open to dry out the interior. Which was a problem, because our cat used to like to sleep on the rear parcel shelf……
Well, now Jack... In the late-1970s I had an XJ12-C that I took in trade on a new Alfa. I kept it for a personal car for almost two years...long enough to have tamed most of the gremlins. Beautiful car: park it next to an SLC Benz and nobody will notice the Mercedes! Mine was a '72, so it still had the proper bumpers instead of the ghastly 5mph USA items. I liked the car, and it was rare, and fast for what it was. But the V12 was a nightmare to service, and (of course) there were all manner of electrical nasties to fix. Remember th old saying about Jaguars, "You meet the nicest people, in the middle of the night, in the rain, on the side of the road when the car quits!" Still, I took it on a 3000+ mile road trip from Texas to NYC and back with no issues...but I'd had two years to slay all those gremlins by then. Never did cure the wind noise... Claret with biscuit and a Webasto roof (no vinyl cap) and a set of Minilites...sure was pretty. Sold it as soon as I got back from NYC, and the buyer would still speak to me 5 years on!
@@rustyturner431 Wow! What a list. Excellent taste in automobile's. The last Alfa I owned was a 164 twin spark and a V6 version. Also an 87 Alfa Spyder. The 164 series were decent and fairly reliable with great engines. Always loved TVRs & Morgan's but couldn't quite afford them in my younger year's. I owned several prelude's which I thought were great cars especially the 88 - 89 version's . One of my favorite European saloons/sedans was an Opel Senator/Monza. It was fast! I restored an Alfa Romeo Montreal with my uncle when I was younger. We fitted a Toyota GT engine in it🙂. Thanks for an interesting conversation Mr Rusty. I wish you the best... It's quite rare having decent conversations online these day's
This reminds me: long ago, I used to buy Autocar regularly, and I recall that there was a design study for a new Jaguar by an Italian (I think) design studio - I've long forgotten which. I think it harks back to Jaguar announcing the new direction with early XF, rather than the new sports car - but I recall that it had the old school elegance of the classic XJ, and looked a bit more like the XJ-C than an XJ. It was a picture in the news, no more than a quarter of a page, with a few column inches. Does anyone recall who did it, or have access to the picture?
I love the two door Coupe and I agree that you are more likely to have a Chauffeur in one of these. This however is a totally different beast! Whilst I am familiar with Lister I can't say I have ever seen this car. A very interesting history of the car from Tom so thank you to him and thank you Jack for producing this video. The story of Emma hit home for me as my 'little Sister' was diagnosed with a 'life limiting illness' last year. She is very positive despite the diagnosis so that makes a lot of difference I think. If she were interested in classic cars I would buy one for her to drive around in. As I always say (even before this news) life is too short so enjoy it while you can. Take care Jack. 👍👍
That is one of my favourite cars! Was fortunate enough to enjoy an XJC - Daimler Double Six with 6L rebore for several summers, great memories! Would love to drive a manual...
I beg to differ. A 4 door Jaguar XJ is the best looking 4 door car in the world. I used to own a 1974 XJ12L. 4 Stromberg carbs. All original and quite fast. Capable of much more than just "point A to point B."
I’m will watch all XJC content. I’ve followed Harry’s G and Tom’s own coupe modifications. I’m in the USA and restoring an XJ6C and these videos can be inspiring. Thank you
Hi Tom & Jack. Great video - very informative. Tom sorted out the handling on my XJ-S V12 - so he knows how to get these cars handling nicely whilst still riding very comfortably. I’ve seen this car at the workshop many times - nice to find out a bit more about it. Peter
Great video Jack! Really enjoyed hearing Tom talk on the car’s history, it’s so often what makes these cars so special to us. I think there’s a lot to be said about a format where the owner spends some time with you in the car.
What a great video. Tom is great, and you handled the change of SOP flawlessly. I would love to see other interesting cars, and stories told by their owners. Nice work Jack.
Great vid Jack, I have had loads of XJ’s and two Daimler Double Sixes, one carb and one injection, loved them…… wish I still had them, I had a green manual XJ with cams etc and was my fave! thanks for producing another great vid 👍👍👍👍
Such a fantastic car it takes me back to the late seventies when for a short had a xj 5.3 sedan those exact same color Tan interior was just. So nice to ride in as a young boy 👍👍
You could've popped in to Harry's place as you test on the same piece of road near his house... Bet he'd love to have had a drive of it... Or maybe he has? Great show & content, keep them coming!
Firstly, great work with the fundraising. Enjoyed this format of video. I love how XJCs are simultaneously exquisitely beautiful and completely brutal. As a point of car nerd interest, the reg gave me a right start initially - I have TEF 86R. Was an age-appropriate DVLA issue from about a decade ago, so I guess must have been issued around the same time.
Great episode & I think it’s the most fun test drive you’ve done & the rapport with the owner was superb. Perhaps it’s a format you might like to try again with other owners if possible
Was one of these in Nuneaton in the late 70s early 80s exactly the same. Guy kept it in a garage with a collection of other vehicles, small racing car vintage bus etc. Got a look in it one day had a phone in the glovebox. Sounded great when it was driven on the rd.
Definitely a Jag I've always lusted after ever since I drove an XJ12 saloon that a friend of mine owned many years ago. Love the style of the Coupe'. Good 'un Jack!
I had a 4 door Daimler Double Six that had 1 previous owner that was only used around London by his driver. The driver and passenger rear showed a little wear. But when you stood on the accelerator it just wafted off. Filling both tanks took ages and went in no time. So I can only imagine how quick this drinks petrol
Tom there, managed to escape the clutches (and abuses) of 'AutoAlex' 🤣🤣🤣... VERY NICE (in the voice of J. Clarkson) 'Jaaaaag'... 👌 (Though I DO also like his red resto-modded XJC too!) 😎🇬🇧
Really enjoyed. Always like to hear you talk. But enjoyed the interaction with another car enthusiast with specialty knowledge. Good news: you did not have the windows closed in Phoenix Arizona!
Great car, been looking out for one of these Lister Coupes for years, my story is similar to Toms, acquiring my Lister Le Mans which is nearing completion of a full restoration. Mine has an interesting story for another time. As I understand, I’ve been told there are only 3no supercharged Lister Le Mans unless stand corrected, Great video gents
It's very interessant to have the advice of the owner. I hope that we will found that in your next videos. This car is fantastic. I know that Lister had make a XJS with a kit and a big engine. But i didn't know the existence of other cars build by Lister.
There was a guy who I used to live near that had a Lister XJS with a detuned twin supercharged ex TWR race engine, manual gearbox and not much silencing through the exhausts. Unfortunately I never managed to get a ride in it.
@@jjefferyworboys8138the TWR race engines weren’t supercharged as that wasn’t a legal modification under BTCC/ETCC series regulations (not that that would’ve made it sound any better though!).
This brought back memories of my dad who died recently of Parkinson’s Disease, he had a Daimler Double Six in the eighties, he loved that monster, traded it for a BMW 740 and regretted it. I miss him so much.
Loved this Jack - sadly closest I'll get to one of these is my Corgi and Matchbox ones (They're not even Daimlers!) - love the coupe and Tom's a proper fella, love his content here and elsewhere online.
Tom is an absolute legend 👍🏻 I’m not one for spreading rumours but his management is Auto Alex Kersten he has done the bulk of the heavy lifting with Tom’s media personality 😂😂😂
Ps- i wanted to add. We lost a brother in law to aggressive brain cancer. About 40 days from diagnosis to the end. He was a career soldier with ADF. Tours of Afghanistan etc. died age 56. What you have done re the charity fund raising i have found to be quite emotional for me. Thank you

I never had a Jag but these are among the best looking cars ever made. Back then cars still had some personality and spirit. What a beautiful thing!
Agreed - the XJ-C is a masterpiece!
Did Mr. Callum ruin Jaguar styling? 🙂🤔
@@TassieLorenzo Nope. I think the 2008 XJ is pretty good looking car. Not like a traditional Jag but very cool anyway. XK and F-Type are incredible looking modern cars too. Completely timeless design on both.

Has there ever been an ugly Jaguar?
Loved this slightly different format with the owner joining you for the drive! Got me scouring the classifieds for old Jags 😂
Glad you enjoyed it Ben! Having Tom there made it easy to do as he's used to being on youtube. Thanks for the support being a member by the way!
.....buy one of mine😂😂
@@ololiver92 Tom is just a great guy. I'm subscribed to his channel.
@@Number27 Glad you called it a "dame-ler" and not the allegedly "correct" pronunciation "dime-ler". Excellent video, BTW, Jags are awesome.
Big fan of Tom and his work. Have previously seen him 'enhance' Harry Metcalfes Jag in a very good way, incredible performance and sound.
Harry's Jag YT video provided a wealth on information. Notably Harry paid the price of ignoring the sage 'fuel injection' advice provided by Tom.
Harry's Jag is absolutely magnificent
@@lptomtom it is, but I did prefer its previous colour
Yes, I recognized him from the Harry travails. Like Harry I had an AJ6 conversion but on a much later 6.0 XJS-C with the later injection system. Modified induction, airboxes and ECU. Made about 40 more hp and had throttle response more like a carb engine which was lovely. So I was rooting for Harry keeping the AJ6 conversion but was really pleased when they abandoned the whole thing... and ended up with a much more performing engine.
“Yeah, just nail it” now that’s the attitude 👍
Thanks Tom for sharing your Lister XJ-C with Jack and us viewers. It was a pleasure to see it! 😊👍🥂

I’ve always loved the XJ coupes ever since I saw Steed’s “Big Cat” in the New Avengers.
For me that is the ultimate Jaguar.
XJC is the most beautiful elegant Jag ever made in my opinion! Add the sound of that V12 and you get automotive heaven. Great video.
@thomas05ish , the Mk2 remains my favourite car of all, since my father's friend visited in his brand new example of one of the last, in the autumn of 1967. But the XJC comes closest!
Tom, it's lovely to see you interacting with a grown-up for a change!
That Daimler is an absolute gem, well done for keeping it going
That comment made me actually laugh out loud. Pretty sure I know who you are referring to, and yes I sort of agree, but I follow that channel too for the antics and laugh at that too.
@MrAlphafang so do I but sometimes it feels like you've got the kids in the back of the car 😂
Anything touched by Tom is always going to be special. Complete genius 👌
A fascinating story about a unique car. Thanks Jack!
thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it!

I think a tear rolled down my check while watching this. The XJ coupe is an awesome little chariot
That is absolute perfection! I'm in love with that car. Great video and story also. Wonderful.

Seem to recall a Lister Lemans car sporting Newcastle United livery in the mid 90s, totally forgot they existed until now.
The Lister Storm 🤓
God, I love that - the Daimler interior is so much nicer and the way it seems to drive 🥰. Harry’s sounds epic but I actually prefer this one. 🙂

Great to see Tom and his XJC out and about,
I hadn’t seen any of his workshop videos lately
Always good to see a Lister in action! Amazing vid gents! Cheers!!
Gorgeous utterly gorgeous. I love the story/history, the format, the link to harrys garage, the chanel just keeps on giving 👍👍

So cool. Love these oddball cars. The XJS Lister made were so crazy
Nice video Jack, you are a good interviewer and it all feels very natural and fun and at the same time firing out lots of great information.
Tom is such a genuine individual. Love everything I see him in.
The way it lifts the inside rear wheel under hard cornering looks like a right laugh, what a beautiful machine, Jag royalty is Tom.
Such a fantastic car it takes me back to the late seventies when for a short had a xj 5.3 sedan those exact same color
Tan interior was just. So nice to ride in as a young boy 👍👍
In both two and four door forms, one of the prettiest cars ever made. Just gorgeous!
Well said!
Jack and Harry could do a double (pun) act on that road. Lovely pillarless style.
❤
What a jewel! WOW, The manual and suspension upgrades of this XJC and the car in British Racing Green are all to die for!
You could've popped in to Harry's place as you test on the same piece of road near his house... Bet he'd love to have had a drive of it... Or maybe he has? Great show & content, keep them coming!
Jag hit the ball out of the park with this body design ,so beautiful fron every angle 😊
Firstly, great work with the fundraising. Enjoyed this format of video. I love how XJCs are simultaneously exquisitely beautiful and completely brutal. As a point of car nerd interest, the reg gave me a right start initially - I have TEF 86R. Was an age-appropriate DVLA issue from about a decade ago, so I guess must have been issued around the same time.
Great video, Jack - what a gorgeous car. Love the channel and variety of cars you review. Top work!
Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks so much Jack for some great entertainment 👋👍
Brilliant, I've wanted an XJC all my life. Maybe one day... john. Thanks for sharing Jack.
Always loved the XJ coupe. Awesome car and story!
Great episode & I think it’s the most fun test drive you’ve done & the rapport with the owner was superb. Perhaps it’s a format you might like to try again with other owners if possible
I love Jags and Daimlers Lovely car and Tom is a Jaguar legend in racing circles. Great video Jack
What a great car! Looks like a ton of fun to toss around on the rural roads!
What a beauty, and the engine sound! Great to hear the backstory too.
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!

Always loved the Jaguar coupe cars and to have 1 that handles so well.
Such a good channel keep up the good work
I used to drive past Lister almost every day. Never saw a thing though. Love their cars.
A classy ride back in the day.
The Leyland Princess 2200 HLS was even more unique
I absolutely love that!! I'd have that in a heartbeat. thanks so much.
Gorgeous sound! Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful sound, Looks bloody lovely also.
Definitely a Jag I've always lusted after ever since I drove an XJ12 saloon that a friend of mine owned many years ago. Love the style of the Coupe'.
Good 'un Jack!
Love the different format with the chat!
Oh my! What a lovely machine.
The smiles tell the story, lovely car.
I had a 4 door Daimler Double Six that had 1 previous owner that was only used around London by his driver. The driver and passenger rear showed a little wear.

Fascinating car, before the video, I had never heard of this Lister version.
Another fascinating video, Jack, thanks. But did you forget to put up the links to Tom's Just Giving page and UA-cam channel, as promised @20:34?
I did, now sorted and in the video description.. thanks!!
Love the way Tom can't stop smiling! 😊
Great car, been looking out for one of these Lister Coupes for years, my story is similar to Toms, acquiring my
Lister Le Mans which is nearing completion of a full restoration. Mine has an interesting story for another time.
As I understand, I’ve been told there are only 3no supercharged Lister Le Mans unless stand corrected,
Great video gents
It's very interessant to have the advice of the owner. I hope that we will found that in your next videos. This car is fantastic. I know that Lister had make a XJS with a kit and a big engine. But i didn't know the existence of other cars build by Lister.
Lister used to do staggeringly high power Jaguar V12 conversions and tunes! 7ltr V12 and even adding 2 superchargers for 600+bhp!
That only works with pre HE V12
There was a guy who I used to live near that had a Lister XJS with a detuned twin supercharged ex TWR race engine, manual gearbox and not much silencing through the exhausts. Unfortunately I never managed to get a ride in it.
@@jjefferyworboys8138the TWR race engines weren’t supercharged as that wasn’t a legal modification under BTCC/ETCC series regulations (not that that would’ve made it sound any better though!).
Thank for the video; I couldn't stop myself thinking does he want to sell her. Salt of earth kind of Guy
He’s selling the red supercharged XJC.
What a gorgeous car that is and a lovely noise
What a fantastic car and story
The scream that it makes at startup is epic.
This brought back memories of my dad who died recently of Parkinson’s Disease, he had a Daimler Double Six in the eighties, he loved that monster, traded it for a BMW 740 and regretted it. I miss him so much.
I bet buddy.. thanks for sharing!
You should do more videos where you interview people, I think it worked really well.
I was (unfortunately...) quite alive in the eighties. So I do remember that car. 😅
Another great video!
Love it reminds me of Steeds Jaguar XJC
Great to see Tom on channel, niceone Jack.
Loved this Jack - sadly closest I'll get to one of these is my Corgi and Matchbox ones (They're not even Daimlers!) - love the coupe and Tom's a proper fella, love his content here and elsewhere online.
