I Found a Classic Jaguar ABANDONED in a Barn For 30+ YEARS & Detailed It

[@jaygatz4335]

One fine automobile whose dignity has been restored. Great job!

[@chrisparsons7043]

You did a great job on that, I have owned a few here in England. The excellent chrome, solid panels and the fact it's complete and possibly all original makes it very desirable.

[@strubbleler]

casually a ''few'' xD

[@KevinDoyle-r1w]

Gives me pure joy to see a classic brought back to life. Much better than the junk of today

[@richardscally694]

Interesting you said it was the smaller S-Type. I saw it and instantly recognised the mighty ‘Zenith’ or Mark 10/420G. First released just after the E-Type in October 1961 (E-Type was March that year at Geneva), this big model predates the smaller S-Type/420 variants by a couple of years…I had two of them. I purchased one with cash at 19 years old and drove it everywhere, and at parties everyone wanted to be in it because it was so big. My girlfriend at the time and I used to ‘dine’ at Macdonalds with the dome lights on in the rear of the car with the picnic tables down. Fabulous car and quick given the bulk. Had the same 3.8 litre triple carburettor setup (as shown in your vid) as the E-Type sports car.

Love this Story 👍🔥

[@OrnumCR]

@@DetailDane….well after watching your video, I realised how much I miss my cars now. My car was, like this one. Old English White but I had red leather trim. I used to spend hours making that car gleam. That white paint used to come up nicely. Mine was September’63 build and I believe the one you detailed was a 1962 car as it had the narrow brake pedal for the DG automatic. This bought back some wonderful memories. My other car was green on green, it was a 1964 car with the 4.2 litre engine. My mate had a very late 1970 420G, and we used to compare our cars. Great vid. Enjoyed seeing that car lovely and clean again. Thank you!

[@leejam5268]

The chrome on these cars are amazing. Ive seen rusty bodied ones and the chrome still looks new

[@joanmarshall6861]

One of the most beautiful cars Jaguar ever made. As a young girl I fell in love with the Mark 10. Hope you can do justice to it. Magnificent car.

[@rapido2963]

Hi from the UK! A friend of mine bought one of these in the late 1960’s for £300. It was absolutely immaculate in a golden sand colour. At that time they were so thirsty on petrol that sellers couldn’t get a high price for them and took any offer.

[@carlmason4153]

Same with the E types, Lad I know bought one around 1973 for £200 pound !!!!!!!!! Also a Aston DB6 for £600 pound, imagine this

[@davidboen6189]

What an amazing transformation from what it was to the finish! Quite mesmerizing to watch from beginning to end. Thank you for making the video!

[@noelmintern-d1t]

This model Jaguar sedan saved my life and a friends life too. A long time ago we were driving late at night in the Australian bush. Miles from any where we hit a kangaroo at a 110 miles an hour.Long story short the impact buckled the front sub frame and because the car was built like a bank vault we came to no harm other than our wallets taking a finacial hit. Good cars...

[@MathildeHennecke]

Yeah, it was an extremely strong car, engineered by Jaguar and Pressed Steel.

[@colinhoward74]

That is NOT a x type of any jaguar , its a 3.8 MK 10 as the boot emblem states , the next model from there was the 420 G which was the same body with an updated nose , after that came the 420 in August 1966 , a smaller bodied car of similar style , the xj6 came out in September 1968 , the first jaguar to have an x to its title , even though the xk series of engines started out around 1954 . During that period , xk was used to indicate sports car models xk120 xk140 and xk150 , the racing cars of the time were Ctype , then Dtype in both short body and le mans body , then came , in 1961 a completely new car called the EType , never what americans called an xke , the best joke is americans calling a v12 5.3 l Etype an xke because it never was , the term xke came from the engine designation of the xk series 6 cylinder engine .

I owned a Mark 10 in the 70s that had belonged to Howard Hughes. It was in need of some. Attention when I got it, but local Jag mechanic helped me polish it up. This was a wonderful car, years ahead of anything else at the time, and since it had the XK engine, cruised effortlessly on the highway. The interior was so ush, they were called the poor man's Rolls Royce. I sd the car to a collector when I went back to college, and sadly it burned up in a horrific fire at a European garage a couple years later. 😳

[@ScrappersDetailing]

That thing looked phenomenal at the end!

[@DetailDane]

I Appreciate It! 🙏 I Was Surprised How Nice it Came Out! 🚘💕

[@richardw.smithjr.6683]

Give this Jaguar, a thorough clean down it never saw coming. Good transformation on exterior, engine bay, interior & seats David. You're the best in the business.

[@john0597]

Hi there I'm John from England you've done a great job on that jaggu what are lovely car

[@neilmustow368]

Great watch stunning looking this MK 10 Jag👌👌👌👌

[@SuperEjep]

It's a MK10, later known as the 420G, not an X type

[@brianhepke7182]

This is a beast of a car... remember when it came out. As a kid it looked so massive and heavy.... and expensive. They always seemed to be driven by older, over weight business men. My brother bought me the Dinky model of it... it came complete with a set of luggage in the boot (trunk). I loved that toy car. After watching this video, my opinion of the Jag hasn't changed: lumbering and excessive but beautiful all the same. You did a wonderful job of reviving it. It must give you a lot of satisfaction cleaning off years of dirt and restoring vehicles back to their former glory. Well done.😊

[@chrischallis4240]

Those wing mirrors - probably the coolest thing on this mk10..

[@stevesankey6339]

🇬🇧 Here in the UK, that car is one of the best Jaguar mk 10 that we made, he would of had people beating his door down to buy it, but good luck with the sale, 😊

[@jamescourt4703]

Lovely old jag. Ive got a white 420G proper old school motor. They drink fuel like its going out of fashion, but the grin factor driving it outways the cost of running it.

[@michaelhoff1464]

Good job on cleaning this original Jaguar MK 10 , a great British iconic from the 1960s ❤😂

[@kevinsenior8155]

What a great car. Yes, its an early to mid 1960's Mk 10, not an X Type, and not the later 420G (that had chrome trim down the sides). It looks in really good shape, and BTW, that toolbox alone is worth over $500. You have quite a rare car there. Great job.

[@chrischallis4240]

..love watching these barn find cars getting restored to presentable condition...thanks..

[@GNeuman]

Beautiful car. My Dad a blue Mark X back in the late 60s early 70s. It was huge, he called it the aircraft carrier. What's next? Who will restore the mechanics?

[@rwest1818]

There can't be many barns left now! lol

[@kevinblair8832]

Absolutely Smashing job on that.... Patt on the back to You... Thank you for looking after Real Classic Jag!

[@corrbeck1999]

My dad had one of these 40 years ago and it was old then . Same colour . Beautiful looking car

[@MathildeHennecke]

Stunning. Let’s hope it doesn’t get customised by the new owner. It’s only original once.

[@peterward3965]

What a transformation, is it a MK10 being the largest Jaguar built. Nice one.

[@heathstjohn267]

Very, very well done indeed. As soon as you began, I began to see revealed all the possibilities it has. Your efforts may very well have encouraged somebody not to disassemble it for the parts, but to pursue a restoration. Your great work has shown that there's real hope for what appeared to be a hopeless case.

[@kurtwoehrman3335]

Loving that a bunch of friends pushed it up the ramp. Nice.

[@harrybonne3111]

Nice car ! I am a Jaguar owner , i’l buy this car any time i like classic Jacs

[@matthewmckee9914]

WOW that's actually a nice car, it cleaned up nice.

[@johncook3817]

That's a great find! My first car was a mk10 jag like that. We lived in Devon at the time and the old tank was as wide some of the roads! I still have the bonnet maskot and really regret getting rid of it!😊

[@nicknellany2336]

Thanks for restoring a legend, and a wonderful car.

[@carlmason4153]

UK Models had a small chrome Jaguar on the bonnet instead of the larger type on other Jags, lovely model the MK10, massive inside

[@roconnor01]

I saw those classics being built on the production line in Coventry,England back in the day. My cousin worked for the company.

[@MegaRetr]

Awesome Jag😊 love it😊

[@slipsstreams]

Hell yeah!!! Awesome video keep it coming!

[@robertdemeny251]

What a transformation of this beautiful British classic.

[@davidmckinney6577]

Thats beautiful 😍 you did the best job 👏 🙌 👍 ❤️

[@michaeltutty1540]

Absolutely beautiful car. Sir William knew his cars and his market. A shame to see that lively Connelly Leather looking so poorly. As an aside, Connelly always used hides from Belgium because barbed wire is illegal there. Fewer scars in the skin. That Wilton carpet is still being woven, but it is anything but budget friendly. It appears the headlining may be West of England cloth as was optional on concurrent Rolls-Royce models.

[@JJfromPhilly67]

She came out beautifully! Although the music was wrong for the reveal. Instead of some USA country music, you should have played something quintessentially British, like Pomp and Circumstance. I hope someone buys this and restores her and brings her to the road again.

[@MatthewBlue-yg1wk]

Interesting, but how did it go from butter yellow to white ?:)

[@altabanks4402]

Cool the girl cleaned up nice fantastic job😊😊😊

[@jefferywylie4456]

Possible this MK 10 was sold or serviced at my father’s BMC Jaguar dealership in Grand Rapids. These are great cars and especially beautiful with factory wire wheels. I still have a 86 MK 3 XJ6. Jaguars up to the 80’s were unbeatable if you enjoy driving.

[@Musclecar1972]

You need to invest in a winch, HARBOR FREIGHT! 👍 I think Jaguar always built beautifully styled vehicles, especially the XK E, but the Lucas ignition systems were a definite problem at least here, they didn’t like to start in damp weather.

[@alantraish3368]

In the UK cars like these get banger raced. Keep this beautiful car safe there. Fantastic clean up

[@ClotEastwood]

Back to showroom in 16 minutes . . .. still needs a little TLC . .. but holy cow what an improvement. . .. . . .. great vid

Your dead car detailing is dynamic! Thank you,

[@DetailDane]

Appreciate it! 🙏

[@chriswardlow9441]

My first boss had bought one in 1961/2 it was metallic blue and it looked stunning,he put his Jaguar 3.8 in part exchange ,but oh dear what a disappointment, everything and anything that could go wrong went wrong,the automatic gearbox,wheel bearings, steering, etc,etc. He moved it on and went on to Mercedes ever after. They are a car I've always loved though and you have done a great valet on this one. Has someone swiped the mascot or is it kicking around in the boot/trunk? anyway there is no shortage of them if it's missing. Great stuff. Chris in the the UK.

[@madanto2394]

Absolutely crazy that jaguar has been in a barn my whole lifetime.Bonkers

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

Outstanding job!

[@mrdiplomat9018]

The original lacquer paint on these Jags was nice‼️✅

[@paulchristopher8634]

I’m pleased the car was parked on the barn out of harms way. God knows what damage the wind & rain would have done

[@RaggedyAtom]

Looks like the FB seller forgot that it was a Mk.10 Jaguar. X-types didn't even exist until 2001. For the Mk.10, later renamed the 420G, it was Britain's top-of-the-range saloon car of the decade, starting from 1961 and ending in 1970 due to Leyland taking over. The only sacrifice that was made was that for most, if not all of these cars were column-shift automatic, but that's just how luxury was back then. There were 3 types of Mk.10 Jaguar that were made in the decade. The first being the 3.8L version (same engine as the iconic E-Type), second being the 420, basically same thing but with a 4.2L XK engine instead and a badge on the boot, and the gargantuan 420G, much larger and wider than the other two, with the same 4.2L XK, but with 3 SU carburettors, again but with a 420G badge on the boot. Mid-to-late 1965 Mk.10 Jaguars had additional chrome trimming along the side with side markers in order to make it road legal.

[@roccosophie6498]

The original Jaguar XJ is probably the most well designed car ever made. No other car can tops it's magnificent looks and logical design.

[@ttersu]

It's not a XJ, it's a MK10 :)

[@roccosophie6498]

@@ttersu No, I'm talking about the original XJ. The new one looks like a big "dump," of waste. :)

It’s a Mark 10 I grew up driving the same car , my father taught me to drive in this car at the age of 11 years

[@MrBurtonbradstock]

This model was too big & thirsty for UK roads. A rare sight now but in my opinion I think its come of age & looks great especially the interior

[@MrRobster1234]

Sometimes there is a reason people abandon these old sleds. When I was in my teens in the late '60's every second gas station used to have a dead Jaguar.

[@christianmichael1970]

Looked at the FB link. You have it as a X-Type lmao. You might want to change that to Jaguar MK10 if you really want to get close to the asking price. A little accuracy goes a long way.

That Jaguar weighs almost as much as the Cadillac Eldorado in your next video.

[@ianallen2]

That is a Jag MK10 / 420G, not an X type. It was the biggest car built in UK but never took on as much as all other Jags because it was a bane on the Jaguar company. I have always wanted one since the 1960's and my stepfather said I had better start saving now (that was back in 1973) if I wanted to buy one. I have had many cars but the Jag MK10 was never one of them.

[@lawrenceharp6396]

Beautiful "JAG - U - ARE" , not JAGWIRE" as a dear old friend from England used to always correct me. Whoever had that one didn't like the original colour, and had a light restoration done to it in the late 1970's with a very detailed repaint to white. Must have been low miles, and had a very original spare. I bet it is only on its second set of tires!
