1973 JAGUAR XJ6 4.2L 4 SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE 🔥

[@paulbennell3313]

That's a peach. In the U.K., in that condition it would cost 2 or 3 times as much to buy. You got a great deal there!

[@fifocrew3040]

That's a very good example of a 73. Well done.

[@charleypearson2314]

I'm really happy you got that car. It deserves someone with your ability.

[@peterbonnez]

My XJ6 is at the 'scrap it' or 'throw money at it' stage. It's worth more as a parts car. But I'll not let it die, so it's now with a specialist who will get it back to as it should be. Magnificent cars.

[@peterpretzell8035]

Fern grey with moos green leather, the camouflage time of Jaguar - very special - very rare I was looking for this combination with manual box for years from Denmark to Sicily . I found 5 fern grey cars in the web within this time - but no Moss green seat and no manual gear box Finaly I gave up and bought a black car with beige seat and manual Happy Driving - greetings from Germany

[@memsybabe]

That car deserves a second chance at life. It's as if it's been waiting for you all these years. You can almost see it smiling... Good buy. Peace and love from the UK 🙏.

[@mauricesilva6177]

Beautiful old Jaguar 😁👍. Always loved those since I was a little kid. You definitely scored on this one Chad and Jolene.Enjoy it !

[@paulymcpaul]

WOW what a beauty and for only 1500 ,, that would fetch £10.000 here in England

[@Plasticmercenary]

I remember my honeymoon phase with my jags. Honestly though that engine is very reliable. Just go thru your electrics and that car will be loyal

[@briankinnear7461]

Very nice. 48K miles on a 47 year old Jag is incredible. Looks impeccable. Gonna make a beautiful car when it's all done.

[@fraydogssixfifty3312]

Wish I had a person , like yourself, live near by. Very rare these days. But, just watching this makes me pumped up to keep working and "playing" with my Jag. Yours is a beauty!

[@thequixotryworkshop2424]

I love how Chad is dealing with people. Such a decent, down to earth and honest guy. He is not only good with cars, but has good people skills. Love what you are doing Chad!

Looking good bro! Thumbs up from New Zealand. Seventeen years old son just bought a 75 XJ6L, that gives it some hope for the future.

[@jagvette1]

Here's a top tip, when closing the bonnet stand in front of the car facing the car, place your hands 'palms up' and grip just inside the grill with fingertips, then with a smooth motion lift and the bonnet will close without crashing as long as you get your speed correct. THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO SHUT A XJ6 bonnet.

[@citizenx2422]

Good to know there's others out there who know how to shut a Jag bonnet 👍

[@jagvette1]

@@citizenx2422 does that make us sad 🥴

[@citizenx2422]

@@jagvette1 Yep. But I'm cool with that 😀

[@andyjohnson6548]

That's exactly how I close my bonnet.👍 It also prevents the hood from flexing and hitting the fenders, which is exactly what happens if you pull the bonnet down from one side of the car.

Congratulations Sir Bad Chad and Lady Jolene! Your hard work has brought about new connections, work, friends, and a Jaguar. I can't wait to see more videos on the progress of your two cars. Your work must be very rewarding in terms of success. You have earned it!

[@jimhowell2967]

Taking those gas tanks out is a major, major project. See if you can flush them and seal them in place. Save you a lot of work. They put the gas tanks in and built the car around it.

[@richardjennex6583]

What an amazing car so beautiful and I can’t believe it’s a manual shift you’re driving in class now Chad and Jolene

[@mikeattard6872]

You got yourself a well honest Jag there , I would just do the localised repairs, thoroughly detail it and keep it as a survivor car, the market is loving these at the moment and as soon as you drive it you will realise why. Great motors, sorely under rated, can’t wait to see you progress with this lovely motor, good luck bro

[@ianpetherick4326]

You will absolutely love it one of the best cars we made over here in the uk enjoy it 😀

Good deal,always liked these.not fond of green so I'd do body work & wrap it.keep it for Sunday drives,regal look!

That is such a wicked car, 4 speed is hard to find and its mint. The wood is in great shape for sitting so long. Their 4.2L was used in so many of the Jags and 2 military tanks. Pretty solid.

[@derekrutland1421]

I so love the old jags and how I would love to have that out side my flat. And I know it's now in the hands of some one that loves cars as so you know just how much to do to a car. And as it's not a automatic you have something you will have a super time in and will have many happy miles in it. Thank for all your super videos and as I was a body shop man well ran one what you do it well out of this world. Thank for showing us you way of doing this a may you keep doing super cars.

I really like those first generation XJ6s. With your car it has two things that I love: Green with green interior, very sober and elegant! Then, it has a 4 speed manual, I had the chance to drive one of thos during the 80s and it was a blast, much nicer and exciting than a Merc...

I have a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 although it has a bit of a hot rod motor in it now it's actually a pleasure to work on lot easier to work on than most cars I think they had the mechanic in mind when they designed the car so that it would be easy for you to keep up I heard that they have cam follower problems but there is a kit you can get for that mine is black and chrome same wheels pretty much the same trim I think it's a joy to drive very smooth it's almost relaxing to drive I think you will really enjoy it I know I sure love mine

wow what a find sir looks like a film set where you are nice guy well done to you both

[@garettanderson6772]

Those are cool and still pretty affordable. I wouldn't do it to that one but they do look cool with V8 swaps, mag wheels with fat rear tires, and side pipes. At least I think they look cool that way. But there are plenty of trashed ones to pick from to do that too.

[@stevensinclair5079]

That's a proper scouse Jaguar, Liverpool 🇬🇧

[@tturtle1659]

From my experience working on those in the UK and Austria during my misspent youth I can confirm it was a very good price. Back in Blighty for that money you'd get a rust bucket requiring hours and hours of cutting and welding. It's also the desirable 4sp OD, most were sold with Borg Warner autos. If as I suspect you in Canada got a similar spec to ours (Austria can have lots of snow) then it may even have a limited slip diff. One thing I've noticed is it has a nose bleed stance which it should not - ask the seller what springs are fitted up front (V12?). Cheers from Austria.

the early xke is my absolute favorite body style of all time the first 1 i ever set in i was 14 and it belonged to the road comisioner hear where i live it was a yellow 1 with black inside and black convertable top man it was a beuty i love the fit and finish and inside of these but i would want the straight shift only everyone iv talked too say the automatics are total junk you scored a nice 1 buddy i hope you enjoy it and i do like this colour.......
