Top drawer workmanship achieving perfection whilst retaining originality. Rebuilding my 1966 series 1 coupe was the biggest jigsaw puzzle ever!

[@davidclarke7728]

I had an all day track day at spa in my 5 litre Jaguar XKR , never forgotten

[@ClassicCarCave]

Maikel, I really enjoyed this video and as i know Owen Day but i have never met Angus Moss but there knowledge is well known. I think as you said in the video there can be some common ground with originality and using modern parts to make these cars so much more enjoyable 🤔😉 Botton line is we are all trying to keep these cars on the road for the future. Originality is nice to have but it‘s not the be all and end all of having a well set up and and comfortable driving E Type. Cheers Dave

[@JaguarEType]

Thank you @ClassicCarCave, you probably have noticed how much fun we had that day. It is always interesting to see how other people do approach the E type. Have to say, that in Germany a car with such a configuration would not be considered as a classic car anymore. You might be aware that the german Generation Z is saving the world. So not an easy life in Germany 🙄 🙄. On one of my cars I had the adjustable rear dampers and they were just about taking my plate off. That guy was in its mid 20, probably never driven a classic car but telling me what is right and wrong. We have all been there, I am sure. Hence all modifications needs to be done without being discovered and always after you have past the first Historic Certificate. Have you seen Angus early OBL? So he becomes interested in original early cars. 🤓 It was a great day out there, just before the Jaguar Spares Day event. Always enjoy the UK.

[@susansinclair4914]

I had the chance to buy an E Type in the mid 1970's but was put off by it's reputation for rust. Financially it was probably a good decision but oh how I wish I had one now! THE most beautiful car I have ever seen.

[@JaguarEType]

Hello @susansinclair4914, aren't these beautiful cars ..... probably the most beautiful car many of us can still afford and enjoy. It is never too late, what are you waiting for? Just imagine the smile you put into the young boys face 😍. It is our duty to show them and keep them alive .... . Keep sharing the video, it might inspire someone to get one back on the road. Enjoy 😄

[@bentaxelrod]

I love your work Maikel. You’ve helped me with the restoration of my 1963 FHC. Cheers from Australia.

[@JaguarEType]

Hello @bentaxelrod, and thank you very much for your appreciated feedback. It is always a great pleasure to hear that my intention does carry some fruits. I had a phone call yesterday from a guy in Germany, also with a 64 FHC, he said:"If I had only seen your videos before, I would have avoided so much hassle, wrongly purchased parts and would have used different progress strategy." I was laughing and said, we have all been there and I know how frustrating it is. If I only help a hand full of other people to bring their cars on the road, I have achieved my goal. The good thing is, the E Type will bring you back so much joy, and every time you look at it, everything is fine. Stay tuned. Maikel

[@JaguarEType]

@h.hafner1110 Hello Mr. Hafner, great to see you here. And thanks for watching. Hope you continue and share my videos. 👍

[@grahamewardall6186]

Angus inspected my 65FHC 8 years or so ago prior to purchase Whilst car is nice enough it is far from concourse which for me was fine for a car purchased to use. He has maintained and improved it mechanically ever since with the same care and attention to detail lavished on his full restorations giving me a car that has proved to be reliable and a delight to use and drive The whole team at Moss Jaguar share Angus' passion and values are equally friendly, engaging and welcoming whether its a major restoration or a request for help with a small niggling problem

[@JaguarEType]

Good day @grahamewardall6186, I trust Angus is the right man to talk to when it comes to E type. He is a real enthusiast and wants to see as many E Type on the road as possible. Does not need to be concourse, more important is, to be driven. Thank you for our comment and sharing. 👍

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Thanks for sharing Maikel, this is the type of video I have to watch twice. Great to see such an impressive and well established shop. About the door fitment/closing, well the E-Type is peculiar as the seals directly touch the door skin where it wraps around the flange. I find most doors that that have been reskinned are al least .050 thicker than factory and need to fit undersize seals. Anyhow, lovely video, too bad 1600HP has lost its original chassis tag.

[@JaguarEType]

Hi Richard, you are right with the seal. Sometimes it does not even need to be resigned. Too much paint on both sides is enough to struggle with your door seals. I then glue them tight at the top and stretch them to make them where required. Especially in that bow area above the look. Stretching and glue step by step does the job. Same along the sill. With reskinned doors, a real pita. But we get them all, don't we? 💪

[@paulcharlesworth319]

Great video, so much detail to think about . Thankyou Maikel.

[@JaguarEType]

Good day @paulcharlesworth319, Thank you for your feedback, we really had a great day with those lovely people at MOSS JAGUAR, they are so welcoming, and we had a good laugh all day long. And in fact, Angus is an engineer, and you could think he is preparing the next car for James Bond :-) (for us so to speak). Would like to see an integrated cooling box for some drinks 😅

[@michaelfraser5723]

we need to RID BRITAIN OF FRONT REGISTRATION PLATES

[@gordonblank6845]

That was fantastic! The knowledge these guys have.

[@JaguarEType]

Good day @gordonblank6845, many thanks for the 💐. We try to learn every day and to preserve it for the generations to come. Obviously when Jaguar produced the first 500 or even 1000 cars, things were changing constantly. They developed the car on the road so to speak and we try to discover from where they started. It is a fascinating journey where you need input from people who know and are willing to share. Keep watching and sharing. Maikel

[@juststuff5216]

Such interesting insights. Great video!

[@johndavey72]

Hello Maikel. You must be in "e"type heaven ! That early roadster certainly needs lots of very expensive attention. The one l viewed had a number modern changes , modern brakes and a 5 speed gearbox . It was also subject to an older restoration which today would not be acceptable . In my opinion these very early cars should be left unmodified in any way apart from i.e. the modern crankshaft seal . Thanks Maikel

[@JaguarEType]

Hi John, yes, it it an E Type heaven. This was just the Friday before we met at Jag Spares day. The early OBL is a fantastic car as all the original components are still there. Very useful and important information. Imagine, all original 47th E Type!! 😲. The metalwork can be done, and should be done in most cases, and yes, such cars should be kept as original as possible. Should also be considered who is driving the car. Someone like us who knows the details, can handle an all original car. Those with no mechanical background might be better off to opt for a modernized version.

[@russellwhite7407]

Watching from 🇦🇺👍

[@scottstrails9369]

Great video, hope to say hello one day when you can come to my OBL tuition classes

[@JaguarEType]

Where should that be?

[@rogerpritchard]

My father had a series 1.5 in about 68, reg OBU608F, blue. I used to be taken to school in it! (Quernmore boys school, Bromley ). He never had any problems with it.

[@JaguarEType]

Hello @rogerpritchard, nice story, I would have loved to be driven to school in an E Type. Hope you are still driving one or at least planning it. Would like to now how your schoolmates reacted when they have seen you in the E Type. 😎

[@gregtaylor6146]

Was the school caretaker at that time a Mr Bamber?

[@malcolmbriggs4281]

First E - type i seen ,I was 11 in 1961,it was " golden sand with red interior. Looked as if it was going 100 when parked.

[@JaguarEType]

Hi @malcolmbriggs4281 Malcom, what a great saying, have to remember it 😄😄

[@nicksmith5353]

The A/C is Clayton Classics system. Excellent and works well with the vents which they also supply. However, the rear extract vent is a great innovation and interested to hear about the holes in the floor being filled as standard.

[@JaguarEType]

Hi @nicksmith5353, give Angus a call, I am sure he is willing to assist. I think he has a point, with fresh air coming into the cabin it also needs to get out. I usually open a 1/4 light, also drags the warm air out. But of course I do not get cold air in, so far 😉

[@burgundyexpress]

I always use Harly Wax on my chrome (and paint) - it never rusts and the water beads off!

[@JaguarEType]

Hi @burgundyexpress, many thanks for your input. Any extra information is welcome. Will try to source it next time I am in UK, as we do not have it in Germany. But surely some other UK guys and many Australians and Americans do know that product. Always good to get some recommendations to consider.

[@user-vc9ig3pf5y]

My comment is good for quality Work his attitude towards the is good if they're doing Up grades are On the next Level

[@JaguarEType]

Many thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. Stay tuned.

[@TopQGuy]

Funny…there’s a Corvette on the calendar next to the licence plates….

[@JaguarEType]

They are both fascinating cars :-)

[@metalman4141]

Air release flap 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JaguarEType]

That is what the Coupes needed. It was introduced by Jaguar only with the S3 model. It is logical, when you get new, fresh air in, where does it escape?

[@paulmarriner5906]

Gun metal Etype stop trying to make it a modern car leave as it should be and drive a modern car with all the mod cons I don’t believe you would do that to one of your cars I think his lost the Plot

[@salvagedb2470]

The Welding on that stripped down Jag was bloody horrible , it was like the Bride of Frankenstien..

[@JaguarEType]

That is what happened to these cars in the past. Good job it is with Angus now.
