Turn the music off man

What an elegant, beautiful car! Always loved the design of the 30's cars.

Gorgeous car beautifully explained and presented

porsche 914 my first miniature in 80´s when i was a kid, still have it

I know there are a lot of people who do not like the 308 GT4, but I always loved the looks. The answer to the quiz question is the displacement of the engine in cc divided by 100 and the number of cylinders 246 = 2.4l V6, 308 = 3.0l V8. And they even made a 208 GT4 with ... yes ... a 2 liter V8 to avoid luxury tax in Italy. With about 180hp it was still not a slouch for its time. The naming was used for the 328 and 348, too, but not for the 355, which thankfully was not a 3.5 liter 5 cylinder. The schema was reintroduced with the 458, but then naming went a bit haywire. Anyway, thanks for a video that does the 308 GT4 justice!

When I was a child my dad had Mark VII. I was absolutely fixated on the beautiful woodwork in the interior, and especially the faceted indicator lights. I got my early mechanical training handing tools to dad who was under the car, as it was like all Jaguars, requiring constant fixing.

this 355 sounds pretty dull

I want to like the Spyker but it's just too much.

Lincoln Cont, was the greatest competitor to the Caddy. Jaguar of which I have had many, was really not a competitor.

Great to see Steve getting out from behind the camera, great job brother!

5 gears in the 50's. Beautiful

Postwar Jaguars started with the Mk V then skipped the Mk VI as the name was taken by Bentley, then continued with the Mk VII.

Did Jaguar make the automatic transmission?

British pronunciation is Jag-ee-ar. The Mark IX was every bit as nice a car as a Rolls-Royce. Although the RR had a very large V8 engine in '61 and a 4-speed HydraMatic, it was considerably heavier than than the Jaguar. Having a powerful DOHC 6cyl engine from the XK series in a lighter car is what made the Mark IX a true sports sedan.

Such a beautiful automobile.

Magnificent! Not only the Mark IX, but Donald Osborne always dresses for the occasion, which few automotive experts do these days. The way these videos communicate the experience without actually driving is exceptional. Yes, I immediately thought of Kim Novak and the Mark IX in Vertigo! I recently watched North by Northwest, and wondered in it might have been Hitchcock's own car as I thought I saw a similar custom green Jaguar Mark IX in that next film. It's so odd how yes, this car was similar in league to Cadillac, but could barely be more polar. Beautiful, and thank you as always for these presentations. Not only informative, but certainly great promotion for the museum and activities it presents!

Your videos inspired me to take a road trip from Ontario to Rhode Island and visit the Audrain Museum while we were there. Newport is a wonderful place, and you are a good ambassador for the town. Great seafood too!

I find it rare that I like cars born before me, I make an exception for this. It is good looking in and out.

These look nicer and "more expensive" with whitewall tires!

These were really nice cars. It is a shame they were of such poor quality.

The big Jaguar sedan sold for about the same money as a Cadillac in the US but they appealed to very different customers. Even so, you would not be surprised to see a Jag parked among the Caddies, Lincolns and Imperials at any country club especially in the northeast.

Wonderful - but more a1950s than 1960s jag!

Please do the mk10 or a 420G 😊

Cadillac's biggest competition was Lincoln and to a lesser extent Imperial. Cadillac at the time was known for its high-quality luxurious vehicles and although the Jaguar was luxurious it certainly wasn't high quality and I'm sure Jaguar's conquest of Cadillac buyers was pretty low.

Very comprehensive review. My favorite Jag is the Mark II 3.8.

On the cover photo, it looks like you're pushing the Jaguar...

very nice show about the precursor of the Mk X. I wonder if it has already the "Intermediate Speed hold" switch that keeps the gearbox in 2nd when you want harder and higher revving acceleration? I drive my 420 G automatic, as it doesn't have it, sometimes by shifting the gearbox manually to not fall in this big drop between 2nd and 3rd that, like you mentionned,dulls the power of the engine out.

I had a business ethics class years ago and I had to write a paper on business ethics. As I owned a 1980 Pinto, I chose the Ford Pinto and criminal (reckless homicide) lawsuit Ford faced because of their inaction to fix the Pinto's flaws out of monetary reasons. The fix that Ford did for the Pinto was to place a wimpy plastic shield between the fuel tank and rear differential (my Pinto had one). So in the right circumstances the 'unfixed' Pintos were lethal when the fuel tank was pushed into the differential, rupturing it and causing flammable fuel to spill....

Most lovely 1961 BMW 7 series I've ever seen....

At 10,000 made, these weren't much of a threat to Cadillac. Hell, even Lincoln was no threat to Cadillac. But this is one sexxxy Mk IX! Anyone else here have the rare '67 420-S compact or its Daimler equivalent? (A few were made in '66 & 68, but not imported to the US of A.) Thanks for the video!

happy that Mavis got her castle - makes up for living w Jay's career so long. Great Audrain cars.

Terrific review!!!

Nice Car !

We had a 58 Mark Vlll . Next best thing to that other famous English luxury make . Sir William did well on this era of Jaguars !

My older brother and his friends and I worked on older Jaguars years ago. We had our own slogan which I cannot offer on KZbin.

My Dad had a Bentley S1 always reminds me of the this Jag. Back then even a Riley/Wolsely looked like hewn out of Rock with solid craftsmanship the same can't be said for a C-class or a A4 interior vs a Phantom interior now.

✌

My aunt had a 63 Silver Cloud III which is a great car in its own right. But, I prefer these Jag saloons more. Not only stylish but they drive so much better.

I remember these cars when they were 10-15 years old. Most were battered to some degree, rusted in such a way that seeing one on a lift often exposed truly frightening issues and leaked and/or burned a remarkable amounts of oil. Give me a 1961 or 1962 Cadillac anytime....please.

Thank you for using the British pronunciation!

Chris Toffales, not John, graciously Donated this wonderful Jaguar to us! We apologize for the name mixup

lex luthor type car

Nice cruiser Donald. I do wish that a once over in the parking lot before driving was a part of this series. The price when new would be informative also. Jag VS Caddy for example. The sunroof must have been unusual in 61 for America. Thanks for the ride. Cheers 🇨🇦

Excellent review. Thank you.

with its flashyness, a '61 Caddy looks a little too sporty for a banker, but this old school Jag is staid and exudes old money and seems more apropos.
