BARN FIND: 1973 JAGUAR XJ6 4.2L 4 SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE 🔥

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

I absolutely LOVE talking with elderly people. So much knowledge and history to be told and/or learned!!

[@gordythecreator]

The STORIES.. most ppl think it's BS, but intelligent ppl understand that was normal back then

[@Flyfastlifeisshort]

Dudes only 40!

[@Gopferteckel]

Yep they’re in a different world, So much life experience and wisdom.

I’m a southern boy in Georgia but I could listen that old Englishman talk all day!

[@johnschoonover9888]

My jaguar was a 1973 xj12. Unbelievable power and comfort. I had many electrical problems. Jaguar repaired the wiper switch. The next day after the repair we went to a NFL football game. We were setting in our seats and low and behold there on the big TV screen was my jaguar... On 🔥 fire. In the parking lot. What a final farewell to a great car.

[@Dani-Innit]

Oh no! I'm so sorry, that just breaks my heart 😔

[@als57chev76]

Amazing how old cars bring people together of all ages! A great video to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@flyingdutchman44]

Lovely to see these old cats still to be found . The mk1 is a particularly rare animal.

[@joeely9631]

Jolene’s interview of this guy was so interesting that I didn’t want it to end!

[@leew6522]

Great video. Old jag interiors are fantastic....nobody makes interiors like this, iconic

[@seamusgargan5567]

What an inspiration to watch you do that deal .Your a true gentleman and Jolene a lady .Love watching your videos here in Ireland Would love to visit your place some day . You are talented .

[@amirz8649]

I had a 75 LWB the same colour, the same interior, and manual gearbox with overdrive. Green interior is very rare. This 73 is a fantastic car

[@andrewst.michael5179]

Love hanging out with the older generation.

[@marcel-jt3dy]

It not the car but the past that he is giving up, a past that is never coming back. Bitter sweet. We have seen autumn ,winter please keep the order.

[@warrenwoolley9040]

From mid 1969 I owned a 1958 3.4litre Mk1 (4 speed manual with electric overdrive on 4th, factory wire wheels with Dunlop disc brakes all round) for about 6 years and had to sell it to put a roof on the house I built in 1975/76. Riding in it was similar to the ride in a large taxiing aircraft, quiet, smooth and a little floaty. Yes, it had heavy steering (though quite easy in reverse) and was a beast to park, but high pressures in the tyres made a big difference. 41mph 1st, 64mph 2nd, 96mph 3rd, 120mph 4th at the 5500rpm redline. Great car for driving long distances. NSW Australia

[@awesumenergy]

That '59 is phenomenal!! What a lovely car!

[@deanhuson1886]

i have an xjl8 2002. iv had it for to rears.the 4 liter engine is a real powerhouse.black leather beautiful wood shes back with lots of chrome.never looked back

[@Romanm1957]

What a great bunch of guys!

[@glennpowell3444]

Get those magical XK lumps tuned and the overrun noise is all snap crackle and pop.Beautiful sound on carbs.Banger racers loved them.

[@tonybastien3692]

That was nice of you chad to sand blast the rims for the old gentlemen. Great car.

[@lancemiller9866]

Chad and Jolene another great video keep them coming and your channel will grow grow grow ..once again great job and thank you for always showing us the way you fix your projects and giving us the inspiration to fix our projects our way and not how everyone else tells us how they would do it...

[@dwebster50]

That was a blast. The Brits , are such a blast. Very good video. Wish it was longer

[@howquick]

Love the Jag’s. When I was about 8yo....we lived in Malaysia (my father was in the Australian Airforce). Whilst we were there he had those two exact same model jags. The small one was a dark green...so dark it looked black...with black interior. The big one was white with red leather and walnut interior.

[@bentleynut1648]

I think Jolene has great taste in cars. Bugatti’s and Jaguars.....well done!

[@chuckparry9348]

Jolene you kick but!!!

[@javieraviles6314]

Congratulations Joline !!! Nice Jag .

[@MartyPrice-t8f]

Feeling more the movie segment than a barn find.🙂

[@stevenchristensen2309]

Love the series with the Jag guys, very entertaining

[@brianr1220]

I drove a 1976 Triumph Tr7 in high school in 1985. I owned about 15 of them after that. They were built by British Leyland, who built jag's. Great cars!

[@richardjennex6583]

I love watching your videos chad and jolene also these two older gentleman are so amazing also I’m so happy for yous to be able to buy this beautiful car

[@tomsawyer247]

This was an extra fun video thanks for sharing it Chad and Jolene.

[@daveb5016]

Beautiful car. I love Jaguars, my dad had one just like that in the 80's, with the 4.2.

[@Luminaring]

Had an 87' xj6... you will love this car..the ride..the engine sound...4-speed O/D! If you do the engine work yourself..you can afford to own it..otherwise ouch. The head gaskets will leak...but I've used that cheap radiator stop leak, worked for about 1 year, then did it again for another year. A head rebuild and valve shimming can be pricey, shop around.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Omg I loved this clip !!!! Even better because its all right here in NS !

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I love that jag they started up. Wow that beautiful! I have a friend that had around a 1980 jag with chevy engine. Ran great

[@daleskidmore1685]

I love Jags me! Great guys. I know what Bernie was going through letting it go, I felt the same when I sold my last MGB GT (1973 ) a few years ago.

[@oldclassiccarUK]

*What a great gent, and his Mk1 is stunning. The XJ looks like an excellent buy being S1 and MOD* 👍

[@jumpfortyfour9965]

When this gentleman passes away the world will be the loss not alot of these men left

[@acdcheatseeker]

I love that guy! He's awesome! The 70 year old version of me.

[@enochpowel3030]

I would imagine he saw 70 a long time ago.

[@leonhatton7585]

I love the show but this is the longest 15 minutes of my life LOL keep up the good work guys pump out those videos

[@paulkidd4443]

From a Jaguar owner over in the UK - A daft question. Why do the Americans pronounce them Jagwars? Fascinated to understand the phonetics. BTW My dad had a series 1 xj which we all adored. We pray for it to be discovered in a barn like this !!

[@lonniekiser3612]

Nice one guys, love them jags.

[@91rss]

great revving the cam lobes off the engine...... first thing you look at is those ceramic fuses,, clean the ends off and where they seat too

[@slickmouse]

Brilliant, MK2 Jag, best bank getaway car ever.

[@austinmatthews347]

i spent a couple of weeks in us in sept contrary to beliefs in uk the americans we encounted and that was a lot were all lovely generous folks

[@robbyddurham1624]

The old man makes Jolene laugh.

[@TheDarkPhoenix23]

Great save man! Love old Jags so much I own 2!

[@gordythecreator]

The interior is so organic. Oddball

[@robertfinck1275]

Nice find, she looks well taken care of.

Hi Chad great video again and what a great car it its the xj6 man 😉 i drove the automatic 35 years ago im 58 now its stil one my favorites car's 😉 But damn the 59 its beter you now but oh yes those mg's man there great to 😉 i wish you a nice day or night and stay save greetings to al from the Netherlands Chiel

[@ronlynch7744]

Have to call ya Bad Chad Bond now! Cool British cars and owner!

[@mescko]

Make some calls across the pond and get all the bits you need to convert the outer headlamps to the proper 7 inchers!

[@bunning63]

I think you're getting bitten by the Jaguars bug. Welcome to the club.

[@bunning63]

@Edward Gross It's a Mk1. They seem quite rear now, everyone went for the Mk2 once they came on the scene. Jaguar did consider the 2.5 V8s larger 4.5 litre V8 brother but ended up not using in their cars.

[@jackparker365]

Great buy, you should get the red one he was offering as well and use it as parts for the Bugatti. What a car that would be with full Jag running gear. The Jag independent rear suspension or IRS is legendary and has been used in the rod and custom world in the UK for years. Super strong, good looking, easy to mount , disc brakes and easy to narrow with just a welder pretty much. And what was that about the blue one? Are you getting that as well. An MGB GTV8? They are one hell of a car and very hard to find nowadays. Going to make for some GREAT content, can’t wait 👍👍👍👍👍

[@fotorabia]

Awesum..Ive got a 71 ( could be 70 cos they took a while to come by ship to New Zealand). The short wheel base are starting to become valuable as they are the last Jag associated to William Lyons..the director who developed the E-type...

[@moyadapne968]

Especially with manual and o/d. $1500...what a score. nz.

[@jontrudell7529]

@@moyadapne968 did you hear them say $1500???

[@fotorabia]

@@jontrudell7529 yep..i paid $1200NZ for mine..and $1200NZ for my S2 SWB. In England..a recent Ebay manual rotbox went for over 3000quid...

Great work, lovely old chap

[@fifocrew3040]

I have own many Jags. That motor sounded mint.

Beautiful mk1, my dad use to rebuild mk2 jags lovely cars

[@Abandon7d]

Perfect. Perfect year, cool color (super cool interior color), love the rims, jealous :-)

Nice door close on the Jag

[@geraldbly4903]

Great video! This man’s car collection is amazing! That gentleman you bought the car from is top shelf like his cars. I too have been bitten by the British car bug...lol.😄

[@martingibb517]

Great video and a very nice car, if its a 73 then its the last of the series 1, I had a 74 early series 2 in the same colour which if the TV hasnt distorted it then thats fern green. good luck with it.

[@PecanRanch]

that's a survivor !!!! better keep her original

[@xtechx2007]

Funny watching you squirm around in your own skin, wanting him to shake on that deal! I certainly don't blame you, nice score. Congrats Chad!

[@tonyescobar4501]

I remember watching the Equalizer and his Jaguar caught my eye. I’ve never owned one, but I thought about the F-Type for my mother.

[@frederickhauser2783]

Great Video

[@JonDingle]

You got that Series 1 Xj really cheap! Just found your channel and because I am a Jag fan I will subscribe!

[@rickbullock4331]

$1500.00 for that Jag, I think you should of been wearing a mask, that’s a steal.👍👍

[@Luminaring]

That's the right price...if that head leaks...more like when that head gasket leaks the car is worth zero.

[@johnshowcarbuilder6720]

Awesome deal on that Jaguar the man you bought Jaguar from he a character

[@leetelford9768]

My wife had a 1971 jag it was white with red interior but had a 350 Chevy in it

[@mariosaderi9096]

Ma marque préférée est Ferrari,mais j'ai un immense respect pour les Jaguar ♥️👍

[@johndavey72]

What a character! Sadly a dying breed . A LWB series 1 is pretty rare indeed. I think the colour is willow green . Great stuff.

[@leodannyportal]

Great story!

[@davidconley3610]

The 59 is the best looking Jag !

[@garyparker2969]

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS On The Jag Buy, BUT Did You Get The Other Motormount You Needed ??? Wishing You and All Yours a Healthy Merry Christmas and Happy New Year n God Bless All !!!! .

[@Speedy123youknowme]

What a beautiful car

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

What kind of camera are you using @Ms.Jolene? It’s got an amazing picture??!

[@fantscher]

So many questions. Why is it left hand drive. Why does it have part pre 70 interior and part post 72. Where are the mirrors / holes for them?

[@billniland5997]

Chad: Did I hear him say he has an MGA engine? I am searching for 1 here, and would love to hear about such a deal? THANK YOU AND JOLENE FOR ENTERTAINING US

[@vulcan-900bobber7]

You need to go back and buy the MG and put a Ls into it and as for the XJ6 that was a steel. They are one of the best cars ever built because of all the mods they had at the time plus one of the best driving and smoothest cars ever made

[@dansanders4402]

Now that is an old geezer!

[@timothythomas1626]

Im in the Club as well. And can't find diff seals for my 97 x300 xj6 Driver side axle seal is leaking and figure change all the seals.

[@keithmoore5224]

i wish i had the same size properly in the uk i would have loads of bikes in stead of having to sell to make room for a new project

[@ianmaplethorpe2107]

I don't know if it was said in the video but that is European spec XJ6. It has SU carbs not Strombergs which all the ones in Canada had. It has no marker lights on the side they didn't have them in Europe but had to have them in North America. I'm guessing the speedometer was changed to miles so the 48000 might not be correct.

[@brianoneill7636]

Great vids but could do with better audio to make them even better. Keep up the great work.

Love listening to that bloody chap

At the rate their going if Chad and jolene don't have a sponsorship from u-haul they need to invest in a nice car trailer.

[@LonelyPickle-m4r]

Was that blue one a V8 MGB? They are worth quite a bit of money if its a factory V8.

[@mikehalm164]

Never knew rhey made a V8 - interesting.

[@jimmorris4720]

@@mikehalm164 yes mate they were fitted with a rover 215ci all aluminium v8 which was originally designed and built by Buick.

[@briquetaverne]

One thing I recall about Jaguars of the 1970's was that their electrical systems were nightmares. So much so, that Ford stepped in to save the brand.

[@KingatowCrew]

its not that the electrical systems were nightmares it is that they had electric system in 71 jags had everything where a ford from 71 had nothing lights..horn ..am radio and thats it no electrics to go wrong

[@stuartjenkins4380]

Did he say that blue MG had a V8...you need to go back and buy that one! If it’s the factory version it had the Aluminum 215....very nice

[@wilfredruffian5002]

The most perfect car ever created. Needs nothing.

[@KEVRPH]

Beautiful car!

[@TheOldaz1]

Beautiful to drive, but expensive to do any engine work here makes the XJ6 cheap here. Quite a few modified with Chev V8 engines for those reasons.
