Discovering a Brand New, Garage Find Jaguar E-Type

Four years ago I received a call from a dear friend, she mentioned that her soon to be father-in-law had a “brand new” Jaguar E-Type in storage. How could this be? Jaguar stopped E-Type production in the 1970s??
Enjoy the story about this incredible garage find E-Type!!

All of these videos have been amazing, please continue to make them! Thanks so much John!

[@shanebigfella7884]

I can listen to these amazing car stories all day. Thank you

[@bikrman2]

in 2014 I worked on what went to be the lowest known mileage Testarossa in the US. I believe it went to auction through RM auctions. Wish I knew then what I do now.

[@poppycock6572]

I remember watching cartoons as a kid in the mid 70's and some crime drama came on. Rockford Files? Colombo? Whatever... And there was a scene with a Jaguar e-type. THAT was the first car that my heart skipped a beat. The second one was a 427 Cobra that my father drove home one day. He worked for Ford and ended up actually buying a 260 Cobra. It was white with black interior. He got my mom a 1964 1/2 Mustang, 3 speed, straight 6, green with the parchment interior. My dad got the Cobra as he later told me that they (the company) kind of forced them on the employees because nobody was really buying them. They were more than a loaded Corvette at the time with power windows, automatic and air conditioning. Cobra had side curtains, got hotter than hell in the footwells, no radio, no ac etc. My dad said that it was one of six of them that sat out along a back fence for over a year and they finally discounted the hell out of them and sold them to employees. He ended up with a Cougar Eliminator and a Pantera. Not all at the same time. This was San Jose, California btw.

[@mikeharry2509]

Love these stories. Keep em coming please.

[@my4cars528]

Lost me when you said '...towed on a flatbed..."

[@scottjulien4905]

And loading it tail first at that. Great for the soft top!

[@OZBIE]

Consummate story teller, 11 minutes went by in 1 minute, great story, iconic car.

[@hardslapshot]

Man the owner really took that "Jaguar parking only" sign quite literally

[@MyRetroWatches]

Loving your video stories. Totally binge watching your channel!

[@YippeeKiYayMrFalcon]

I'd kinda like to see John try to tell a story while he's sitting on his hands.. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to do it. Great story!

[@whiteMCHammer]

Damnit! I can't NOT see it now haha

[@natemiller2096]

Cocaine is a great drug like father like son

[@mvmallinson]

Yippee Ki Yay Mr. Falcon and without the stupid music.........this guy wants to be the most important part of the video........I came to see the E Type, not him massaging his ego

[@ferdjanklow3566]

@@natemiller2096 Definitely got a post-nasal thing going on there.

[@rebrand9830]

I want to know the story of the AK in the background :)

[@BoStark]

Yeah, weird.

[@maxboya]

Just aesthetics

[@IMCARS]

What an insane find!

[@rbslammed6163]

Take a shot every time he says “Dear Friend” in one of his videos.....

[@Ulisseseabra]

Like always, excelent history!

[@CaptShane-sy7lr]

You could have sold tickets just for people to come by and sniff it. Great story John.

[@maxsav007]

John, your stories and the way you tell them are fucking amazing. Please dont ever change. Video quality and presentation is on point and dont let anybody tell you otherwise. Your style is distinct. Please just dont forget us when you hit 1,000,000 subs.

[@John1911]

Very neat story and channel. Regards, Marky

[@johndavey72]

The wrong wiper blades!! Well that 's going to kill the sale!! What a fabulous story . If this was in England l'd hate to guess a price on it. Your Dad must have thought come on son think of all the things l've done for you! Now give me the Jag' PLEASE!!!!!! made my day thankyou.

[@roberthill3207]

You are one of my hero have a great day.

[@Thereishope664]

Nice story, well orated.

[@Riley180sx]

I like how there’s a ak on the wall in the back

[@EtiRats]

Great story, and well done for calling the car an E Type, as opposed to XKE. I know that’s how they were badged in the States, but the whole legend of this car in its era revolves around it as an ‘E Type’. I appreciate there’s many different reasons why folks own these cars, or indeed have 200+ vehicle collections…. but for me, they have to be driven to be properly enjoyed. Locking a car away for many years just to get to look at it doesn’t seem quite right somehow, but hey each to their own, right……

[@VenierCustoms]

This is great

[@YoungFrankMatthews]

Yo Saint Laurent shoe game always on point 👍🏾

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

You sir have some seriously awesome stories Can you make a video explaining the perspective of someone who wants to buy a car they will never drive? It doesn't make sense to me whatsoever

[@drivermod7288]

Mo-hammad Abunaser Yeees! Same. Would love to hear that perspective

[@minimeee04]

Great story Great Car..

[@cornholio329]

Agreed i own 2 xk140s 1 1955 n 1956 both roadsters 4 speeds

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

Was that particular automatic transmission a semi reliable piece of machinery?

[@ThePapiloops]

my guy ur shoe game on point

[@phillipeclavel750]

I felt so connected to this story, keep up with the content!!

[@rayfuckingrules386]

imagine this guy closing a deal on you, you buy the car and every warranty he suggests because it all comes with an amazing story. lol

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

Yep bought an 1970 SS from a hairdresser in South Africa when I was there years and years ago and it nearly tore my heart out when he cried as I handed the money over to the bank teller as he would not touch it, I felt so guilty taking the only car he had ever owned i still have it I call it Pierre after him.

[@richardsmith9509]

For being the "Big Expert", why would you send a FLATBED to ship it bad??? Amateur....Enclosed ONLY!!!!!

[@wvu2123]

dude it's Florida if the weather is good flatbed is fine and it wasn't like it was a million dollar car anyway

[@VenierCustoms]

I saw an untitled F40 with 300km in NJ 2 weeks ago

[@hectornieves7611]

That was an amazing story. Is Curated open to the public to visit?

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Im guessing no... His clientele doesn't want to interact with us! Insurance liability too.

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

Would it lose value as soon as someone titles it now?

[@petrolheadsart8012]

Enzo Ferrari said for a E type Jag that is the most beautiful car in the world... and he really understood nice cars

[@colingarner6175]

Say after me “Jag. You are “ not “Jagwar” !

[@malcolmi1]

what's that automatic rifle doing in the window?

[@atticus6572]

Only John can open by essentially saying "I know it's not a big deal" about an E-Type.

[@New_Jax_City]

@curated John. Did u see the #lamborghini #1990 #aniversery that #tomhartley has forsale. With #160miles left hand drive. Black on black all records. Original tires with no cracks. Asking 400,000 pounds. Its perfect.

[@tomthumb3085]

Probably the luckiest guy on earth. Whatever the cost, I would have kept this car in cosseted confinement until it was worth a seven figure value. Even high mileage, well used examples are fetching six figure prices in the UK at the moment. It’s going to be over a million in value very soon, if not so already.

[@fishhead90]

Power swallow lol

[@glucas369]

Didn't there used to be two AK's on display??

[@robmeier1895]

Yep, I noticed that too

[@bernhardlist9359]

Nice story, but why would anyone change a windshielwiper on a car that has not really been driven?

[@titanary68]

MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!

[@yunova]

I wish we could see the in the thumb nail more than seeing u talk about it

[@dwtrksvc]

Daytona beach is northern Florida? Lol...

[@AlexSennah]

If only Americans could say Jaguar correctly 😭 on the plus side I do enjoy your stories 👍🏻

[@shanehnorman]

And if only some of them didn't think an assault rifle is a cool office accessory.

[@nigolt.4345]

How tragic that all these great cars are kept in solitary confinement instead of being driven.

[@brucebaker3523]

The real question is, what car or cars are you saving for the next generation???

[@GN1995_3]

no music in the next one please. Good story tho

[@stefanegger]

50 e type? did they even produce that many? dude?

[@rongosciniak264]

The unicorn of Jags.......

[@shanehnorman]

It's a Series III, said to be the least desirable model, mainly because it was bigger and heavier than the previous two series of E-Types. It was designed to appeal to ageing US buyers, so its handling was anaesthetised to provide a smoother ride. All too embarrassingly for us Brits, the close-ups reveal the appalling build-quality of UK cars of that era: shut-lines that fit where they touch; reversing-lights hanging off the rear bumper with visible wiring; the bumper itself crudely cut back to fit the tail-light units, which are secured underneath by a designed-to-rot metal plate with exposed screw-heads; the cheap-looking steering-wheel that replaced the older cars' wood-and-alloy beauty; etc, etc etc.

[@joeblow3823]

Yes it is a series 3 - the least desirable is the six cylinder 2+2. The series 3 might be bigger and heavier but in standard form it was the fastest and quickest accelerating, best braking and best handling of the E-types. Certainly more masculine in styling vs the the girlie look of the series 1 and 2 on their narrow skinny tyres and body too wide for the track.

[@darlocoluk9444]

I've driven a few of the 3.8 and a couple of the 4.2 litre E-type Jaguars but for me i actually preferred the Series 3 5.3 litre V12. So much i bought one. It was in 1975 when a good friend of mine was selling his 1972 2+2 V12. It was the best car i've ever owned, so smooth & comfortable, completely different from the Series 1&2. Had the car for 18 months then sold it - sad day that, I've still got photos of it though. Only consolation is Jaguar had stopped making them & sold it for a good profit.

[@chrisH-uv5wx]

A car like that on an open flat bed transport?!? On a 4 hour trip??? Get a closed trailer! 😂

[@mattroberts4209]

love the videos , but calm down your moving your hands around so franticaly its making me sick... hard to concentrate

[@newsnowfresno6873]

10 minutes of some guy talking about an amazing car and a half dozen photos of the topic car? Total failure for a car guy to devote all of this video to the story and nothing to the actual car. 😕

[@ralphbillick1210]

it would be nice to see much more of the car and much, much less of this guy talking. I swear if he was in a room with a picture he would talk for hours with nobody in the room!

[@storyteller1749]

So these people own what used to be cars and are now art sculptures. Because lets face it...if you own a car and you dont dtuve it it ceases to be what it was intended to be. A motor vehicle. Stories like this are sad to me. Cars are meant to be driven.

[@damianbrennan2258]

I can c u r just a money man not a hands on like me

[@derrickwillie4449]

Hey man, I enjoy watching your videos and vinwiki videos. But you talk about your dad a lot. Either bring him on the channel or be your own man

[@gunnerlangy]

Why are Americans so long-winded ?

[@brendanmoran397]

Now due to monetization all Americans speak in blocks of at least 10 minutes 1 second. I hope this clears things up for you.

[@terryhoole1158]

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah more blah blah blah blah blah blah this man could talk a glass eye to sleep

[@mvmallinson]

Silly, unnecessary, ridiculous music........the curse of You Tube

[@garyfoster]

Boring
