Crashed and Abandoned 1963 Jaguar XKE E-Type 3.8 Liter Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe Restoration Project

[@ericsissenwein3601]

This was fun to identify the small sections of repaired and replaced parts before they were shown in their proper places. I know these Series 1 cars are valuable but can’t imagine the cost of your remanufacture. Much more time and labor involved than the original factory build!!❤

[@Schlipperschlopper]

1,3 Mio Dollars

[@derekstocker6661]

WOW, what a labour of love this has been, what skill and knowledge went into this amazing restoration is astounding! So very well done guys, you must be so proud of this resto AND the fact that you saved this fabulous lady and brought her back to life. Brilliant and thanks for sharing!

[@Thereishope664]

The original build quality by Jaguar left a lot to be desired, this certainly takes it to another level.

[@marknelson5929]

Stunning resto, great to see her back in her factory colour.

[@trappedinkalifornee]

You should have titled this NO FEAR……what a project to take on!👍🏼👍🏼😃

[@rickvaughan1071]

Always been in love with E types great to see rebuild is better then the original

[@simonlunt353]

This car is the same age as me but is a lot better looking than me 😊 love it 😍

[@louisthomasic275]

Wait for them to rebuild you 😂

[@richardbell466]

That white with the tires is amazing. Fantastic restoration. Well done 🏆

Mad dogs and Englishmen... Where angels fear to tread. 25+ years ago I did three rotisserie restorations of XK-Es, sills, floors, bulkheads, etc, but none so ambitious as this. Today, after a long hiatus, a project car was delivered to my house, a 1959 built Austin Healy 3000 BT7. It will be an interesting project, in 1997 I did a rotisserie restoration of a customer's AH 100M, I hope I remember some of what I did.

[@ATAVMJPRO]

This was a "serious" restoration in that something is old and rare came out so good!

[@davehogye576]

Bravo! Super fine and detailed work. Thanks for sharing.

[@kingearl2596]

Now this JAG is really better then new, they were not built so carefully. Btw.: I would never use these troublemaker carbs. Great Resto!

[@alexandrevillar1260]

Perfect job !!!

[@robjohnson3376]

I love E types they're a thing of beauty, Fantastic job rebuilding this basket case it looks amazing 😎👍, Unfortunately I could never own one and I've never been in one though I've had the opportunity a few times as my step fathers friend owns one, Actually I may of had a ride it when I was a kid but my memory isn't that great 🤕, I'd never fit in one now I'm 6ft 5" and these things are made for leprechauns 😂😂.

[@johngrepo9976]

Beautiful restoration!

[@qisyaizzia5045]

Awesome car indeed.

[@jeanjean-zj6tl]

[@nigel900]

[@charlesbaker4508]

Amazing transformation!

[@rockeroller]

Bee-uetiful car.

[@zoom7533]

Great job,beautiful car.Respect !

[@psk5746]

Brilliant work. Maybe 10% of the original bodyshell survived but it had to be replaced

[@jamesrobinson2433]

Nice work.

[@lenny108]

Awesome result! It really looks like the car was completely rebuilt?

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Macchina perfetta un capolavoro!.enzo ferrari ha detto che la E TYPE e' la macchina piu bella del mondo,ha ragione!

[@peterparsons7141]

Very fine work. Hand built and good for ever if it’s appreciated and taken care of.

[@joffreypij747]

bravo

[@boatboy222]

AWESOME!❤

[@nevillemills9517]

Well done. In the days before WOKE!!

[@ngaugefouroaksstreetstatio6932]

Amazing job, looks fantastic in white

[@billtodd6509]

My friend from high schools dad flew for TWA and one of the regular stewardess on International Flights had a Saudi rich boy friend that asked her what her favorite color was and she told hime pink. He bought her a new XKE painted special pink and surprised her with it. Was in the late sixties.

[@RichardMcLaren]

E Type* 😉

[@paulshearer9571]

Holy shit brother...fantastic job..outstanding... You should name her 'Gods Chariot' ...just heavenly my friend.. 😂 cheers beers 🍻

[@PaulKelly-wm1rp]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever .

[@notj5712]

This would have been a perfect opportunity to chop the roof and make it as sleek as it was meant to be.

[@allanrichards3752]

A great video and amazing restoration. Also really good to see an E Type brought back from the dead. The tax disc is interesting, I think 3565WK would have been the cars original UK license plate number and five pounds ten shillings for four months road tax seems quite expensive for the time, compared to average wages. Also being issued by Coventry City Borough Council the car was taxed locally to the factory so it was either a local dealer or it was taxed and used initially by Jaguar.

[@atomicmozart]

Great work! Would love to hear it...

[@sundersidhai7002]

Beautiful, gorgeous, meticulous restoration but oh my god, why those hideous white wall tyres? 😮‍💨🙄 Btw there never was an XKE. There was only an E type.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Looks like a refrigerators 😮 They make red paint for hot rods,, a candy or tint would look great in those curves

[@jagitmax]

just wondering where you got your replacement bonnet center and fenders from and how much did it cost you ?

[@yuweryuuewebwbewecb2070]

Видео,как по ржавому силуэту построить автомобиль....не путать с транспортным средством...

[@billtodd6509]

Ferdinand Porche said XKE was most beautiful car in the world. What else can be said.

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Enzo ferrari

[@gordtulk]

Porsche was dead eleven years before the Xke came out. It was Enzo Ferrari who said that.

[@jackswing-ep7cf]

Wrong Enzo Ferrari Said That

[@Haffschlappe]

No that was Mussolini

[@LcWash]

impressive but , why white? this car should be silver , with your beautiful red interior...

[@chrisbailey4254]

Nice job mate. Is that a P76 Leyland in some of your video. Regards Chris Bailey

[@corvanha1]

How was the roof section repaired? Not much to see on that part.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Who invests 1 Mio in a Jag E type Coupe?

[@biglakehotrods381]

Such a great car! Nice restoration! Perfect candidate to hot rod! Tubs big fat tires and some power. Anyone ever twin turbo the jag 6? Imagine the possibilities!

[@curtisnewton895]

paint it pink !!

[@Jan_-_-]

Just a load of photos 😢

[@tomthompson7400]

probably quite interesting , but I got sick of the scrolling pictures and gave up on it ,,

[@davidclarke7728]

E types are overpriced, they are pretty but do not drive well😊

[@Haffschlappe]

Sorry you wasted 500 grand

[@petergustafson4417]

???

[@michaelsummers6601]

Another pointless car restoration video be very nice to have some dialog thoughts and process not an uninformative waste of my time.

[@lambo723]

bla bla bla

[@psk5746]

Only thing wrong is the horrid white walled tyres. An E Type is a sportscar!!!

[@willicat44]

Yeah,....white would not be my color,...but with those whitewalls this beauty must have wowed quite a few!

[@per-hakansvahn8044]

Agree. The handling will of course be totally corrupted with white wall tires.
