I have yet to see an ugly Jaguar, I doubt they even exist.😍

Just lovely. Up there with many of the classic Ferraris in my book, just a few from the Scuderia top it. Lovely is an understatement.

I'm long out the trade. The only Maserati I ever drove was a Sebring International, 1965 model the one that was on their stand at the Motor Show. I got my paws on it mid 70s, for a short drive. It's a different world of motoring and definitely a pulse quickener.

With a manual? Wow that must be rare.

My dad had a mk9 he had it for many years

That is one sweet vehicle Julian

The Dayt of that CocOnuT GroVe EXOTIC CAR Comment is APRIL FOOLS DAY 2024. It is not April FOoling though🏁🇮🇹

This Colour Combination and a ZF 5 Speed is like the One i DetaileD @ EXOTIC CAR in CocOnut Grove, FL in 1984 and have WANTED One like this ever since. This One's "Long Gone" no doubt ~ GOod Luck to me! JDF NM/FL USA 🇮🇹

Amazing car and this one represents the best iteration, IMO,

As the owner of a '58 Mk VIII since 1972 (RHD, Duotone grey, 3.4, manual with overdrive) I viewed this video with interest. Congratulations on a beautiful build, but I think some of the heritage is lost when you swap out the legendary XK engine that won Le Mans five times in the 1950's.

Very nice

The best thing to do with that is return it to standard. As it stands, it is an abomination!

Is this car still for sale?

❤

Best video about this awesome car that I have seen yet!

Rocky's car in Rocky 3.

When beauty is NOT only skin-deep.

I've got a 1986 QPIII with just over 70k miles on the clock. Superb car, handles really well for the giant car that it is. Interior is stellar. Mine is a 3 speed Chrysler auto with a shift kit installed for better performance. Drove it around Sear's Point raceway when Maserati came back to the US of A. Big sedan 4 wheel drifts nicely when pushed. FORZA magazine even mention the car (#13 sticker on race day) in an issue back in the day. The styling is in my mind an Armani suit in steel. Just elegant and muscular. MPG is terrible, but to be expected, 8 city and 10 Highway.... I managed 6 mpg last time I filled it up, but it is a glorious ride! Italian Rolls Royce. It is just lovely. "Sculpitori d'auto" is what a poster in my garage says 🙂

nice carrr

My first car was 59 my 9 auto cost 50 quid

At 1:39 it's not red over black, it's the other way around - black over red. Sorry to be over picky but it's noticeable. Still a beautiful car, my late Mum's favorite. Dad's was a Rover 3500TC. MANY thanks and take care.

Stunning classic, shame about the steering wheel 🎡

V.12 motors are nice, but a total pile of crap.. too big n gutless!..need twin turbos to sort them out..=fact

we are in N.z and we added a V12 to a mk.8. around 30 yrs. ago.....XJ6 front suspemsion, 2.76:1 ratio rear diff.... did 60 mph in first, 110 mph second and top was super cruise mode!!!!!!!!

Love the old Jaguars from the 50’s & 60’s, my Dad owned a Mk7, split screen, followed by a Mk2 3-4. The piano music is very poignant could you tell me who the piece is by as there isn’t a reference to it in the description.

Often thought of a V12 in a mk 7,8 or 9. I've had plenty of V12 Jags but this does appeal to me

You would've thought they'd sort out the dented radiator grille after doing all that work.

Beautiful. My Dad was in the American Army and had one in the late 50’s/early 60’s in Casablanca. Must have turned some heads back in the day.

Beautiful thing 😍

Wow!!! What a car!!!

Sounds like not much left of the original car after the crash. Should this be called a re-creation?

Why did you switch the ignition from the center console to the steering column? I've seen this a few times. I have a 1970 with center console ignition and I'm quite sure that was stock.

Did jaguar make a V12 engine in1959?

They were all over Hollywood in the 90s.

Good Lord ! If it were me , I would take the V12 out and replace it with the correct engine Then in the future , it will be easier to source parts .

One of my all time favorites. Glorious to gaze upon. Gorgeous sound.

Stupenda Maserati e vincente

fantastic Italian car

Love this car. My father had a Mk7 followed by a Mk8 in the late fifties. The Mk7 was two-tone blue and had been 'hotted-up' by the first owner. It ran mostly C-type running gear; the phenomenal performance well above a standard '7'. It was stolen and written off by two lads, luckily they survived. I can still remember the number OXL999.

Lindo carro , meu pai teve um preto e depois um bege , Brasil

No the AC engine is single overhead cam. The Bristol engine is multi pushrod. Inverse for the performance difference.

Still building Merc SL’S?

Should NEVER change original beauty. Its a tragedy to destroy the original brilliance.

Gorgeous car.Lovely colour combo!

Lovely video, but you need some trousers. M.

i did body and paint work on some back in the 80's for a Maserati/Ferrari/Alfa dealer in NY what i remember about the quattroporte was it's revving and exhaust sound , also drove them with the manual transmission it was awesome , now I found one missing engine and trans. for only $1400 I'm thinking to buy it and put a GM LS 5.3 v8 6 speed manual

I'm sure it is an ultra-high maintenance machine.

Please tell us more! Brilliant!!! I love it!

Excellent presentation, excellent car. I owned a 1969 MGC GT in Mineral Blue. I wish I still had it and would take your car as an inspiration to upgrade mine. Currently I have a 63 B .

Black over red I think. Always liked this model since seeing the Mk VII in Hitchcock's Vertigo.
