Love the colour Martin and, as always, your detailing is superb. Ford Transit vans were regular favourites of the robbers too. I really enjoyed watching this video, can't wait for the next one. Take care and all the best. Peter.

Great job, Martin! Really a beautiful outcome❤ I like you picked the villain's car! Well done! The Mk.II Jag Sedan had the XKE 3.8 Litre engine in it. Peppy! Sadly, the door sills on those cars always rust out. A neighbor had a British Racing Green MG Magnetta. Like a "pocket" Jag Sedan. Again, great job Martin! Best, Stephen

[@martindaredare]

Hi Stephen, yes the old jags did sufffrom the old tin worm ,my series 1 xj6 was going under the fuel tanks, bottomed the doors and around the head lights , the older series 1and 2s were of better quality, All the best Martin

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

Came out good mate. My uncle had one of these but it was blue with a white roof. Who's part of the jag Club here in Queensland Australia and they used to go to the local Raceway at called Lakeside. Back in the 70s when I was about 8 he took me and my brother out there to watch him race around the track. They weren't allowed to take passengers and had to take all the loose stuff out of their boot. We were standing in the pit lane and he came in after a couple hours and put all his crap in the boot. Loaded me and my brother in the car and then took us around the track. I remember going to school and telling all my mates how fast we went it was mind-blowing ride. My uncle was a bit crazy, another time out there rolled Valiant ute and writ it off. I remember once you pay me $10 to polish his car up with this really hard polish. It's quite a bit of money back in those days I spent hours. Cheers Graham

[@martindaredare]

That's a brilliant memory, and for you as a youngster would have so exciting, thanks for sharing Graham it's much appreciated my friend

[@oxfamshop]

One of my favourite models is the MK 10 Jaguar. When you said how large the MK 10 was other cars I can remember being large are the mk 3 Ford Zodiac and the Vauxhall Cresta PA. You speaking about having the XJ 6 , the series 1 and 2 were really the last Jaguars that looked like Jaguars . After that the series 3 XJ came out with the rubber around the chrome bumpers and that was it

[@martindaredare]

Yes I totally agree the series 1,2,and 3 were the last and the other one xj40 I think was awful, but I had the re designed s type that was a nice car to drive ,now I have an XF 3ltr turbo sport sports break . All the best Martin

[@jerrybailey5797]

I knew a chippy who had one of these Mk10 Jags on a building site l was working on many years ago, his was black with a red leather interior, definitely menacing to look at , more like a British mafia car 😅.... Great job on this one Martin , looks the business l imagine the Krays driving it 👍

[@geoffmower8729]

Hi mate great job on the Jag, my brother used to have a white mark 2 in the 80s and my first and last Jag was like you a mark 1 XJ6 mine had the 4.2 six in it. It was white with blue interior, beautiful car but very expensive on parts and maintenance in Aus so it had to go. The second car I had was a Holden HT brougham it was a large luxury limo type car with a 5Lr v8 coupled to a two speed auto transition two speeds off and fast.🤣🤣 There is a 1970 model coming up for auction on the Burns auction sight here in Aus. When I sold mine in 1979 I got $2.000 Ausy dollars for it, this ones starting bid is $75.000.😲 Blimy wish I'd kept the bloomin thing now.😂😂 My favourite car chase movie would have to be The Italian job with Michael Cane and the Mini Coopers. Catch you on the next one mate stay safe.👍🏻

[@martindaredare]

Hi Geoff, yes I can imagine the parts for your jag would be expensive, but luckily here they were reasonable. The main problem being the rust . BL didn't do the jags reputation a lot of good with there poor quality, on the series 2 xj6 ,but the series 3 was a good one untill thay changed again to that horrible square box shape ,and in my opinion have only just got back into the Grove again with the xf ,witch is what I have at the moment 3ltr turbo sport estate. But with all the new taxes the government is coming up with ,it's making it difficult to hold on to it . Well od pal see you wensday.

[@jontaylor1652]

Nice job again mate, well done. 'Best car chases'? I think you said one of the best, The Sweeney, always a good old chase going on there and plenty of Jag action too.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much, my friend. Yes, the sweeny had great chases.

[@jg24diecast41]

Thanks for sharing another beauty! Love the color. Did I miss why it came out Dark Red instead of the Green? Probably my 3rd favorite Jaguar after the 50's XK style and the E-type. Vanishing Point and Duel are my favorite car chase movies.

[@martindaredare]

No, you didn't miss anything,🤣 I changed the colour because the green I was going to use was a matilc, so it wouldn't have been appropriate.All the best Martin

[@lotharrenz4621]

looks great, love the maroon colour, a nice sight after all these cliche colours. :) those casting lines really were a menace. what were the mould-makers thinking? :0 one good movie would be The Driver from the 70's. has more than one car chase, and they get longer with the movie, too. :)

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Lothar, yes it was a shame about the bad mouldings down the sides , the driver movie was that the one where he was in the underground parking lot ,in a Mercedes and he took the doors off as he was driving around showing what he could do . All the best Martin

[@lotharrenz4621]

@@martindaredare yes, that one. :) and several other car chases, too. asnd then there are some french movies from 60's to ealry 80's., but I can't read the titles as YT has them only in french.

[@gregorymoy7165]

Very nice resto Martin 10/10 but I thought it was going to be green? 😆and when you said cops and robbers and Jag well I thought Inspector Moorse 🤣but it turned out very nice anyhow great colour choice,. and I thought of The Sweeny where that Jag goes through the fence into the vacant lot it blows up in the end I think great show that one,.. didn't you do a half resto half leave it as is,. using one of these Jags a couple of years ago ? anyway this one looks great ,... looking forward to the next video Thanks Martin 👍

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Gregory, yes unfortunately the brooklands green when I went to use it was a matilc, so I went for the redish colour instead. The half and half was a dinky 2.5 ltr mk 2 . Thanks for your continued support my friend

[@BulletNoseBetty]

Excellent restoration--the colour really makes the car stand out (although some might say that the bad guys making the getaway would want to blend in to their surroundings). As for film and TV chases, The Italian Job is my favourite--but the original version. The remake is an OK film, but the final chase scene just doesn't measure up IMHO.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much my friend, yes this car certainly makes a statement being so big ,thay were posh robbers. Good choice of getaway films. All the best Martin

Thanks Terry, yes the interior could have benefited a tan colour and black wheel good point .

[@terrybeechener5992]

I will admit,I'm looking to get that casting,as I don't have it.Btw,I use factory colours where possible, that maroon is a Jag colour anyway. Thing is,Halfords don't always stock what you want,so you have to go to a pro sprayer,who can usually fix a colour for a small fee!

[@frasermartin6728]

Car chase/getaway film? Ronin. French Connection, Bullitt, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. In that order, plus of course, the most extravagent of all, The Blues Brothers! But back to the Jag! Nice casting and worth the clean up, though I might have been tempted to split the car as a two-tone to disguise the missing swage line. And I did not know that Brooklands Green, was a dark red! very day's a school day! Sorry! Great stories on the old Jags! A lot of the getaway cars were big Fords - they were a bit more reliable than the Jaguars... Zephyr and Zodiac Mark 3s. More boot space for the swag, though poorer handling, but a bit less conspicuous outside a Post Office! I am delighted to see that it's not just me who manages to chip paint on moving parts at assembly - I feel for you there. Great result. Really nice job!

[@martindaredare]

Cheers fraser, yes all good car chase scenes, but there's one film worth a look it's called baby driver .,as for the Ford as a getaway car nice but my blaggers were from the posh side of town 🤣🤣
