My family and I really loved your coverage of my dad's cars at the auction. It was a bittersweet day for us. Thank you so much! FYI - our last name, Hendricks, is pronounced like the guitarist Jimi Hendrix (just different spelling).

Hello Richard . You're in XK heaven ! Thankyou so much for sharing .

[@stephenhenion8304]

Great to catch up with you, Richard... expert on All Things Jag!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@brucebyrnes5996]

Wow! Loved the video!!

[@casperdowlen625]

As a side note...the L-88 engine is not Aluminum. That would be the ZL-1. In 1969 50 Corvettes had it and 69 1969 Camaros had it. It weighed the same as a 350 small block Chevrolet motor. A very rare motor. Both engines had 4 bolt mains. I believe at the Can Am circut they ran the ZL-1 with sintered cylinders making 500 cubic inches. A real terror of an engine.

What a great line up, some fantastic cars, thanks for sharing them with us.

[@sandyvalentin3072]

Richard what a great collection of Jaguars thanks for sharing can’t wait to see more videos from the show you always put out the best stuff .

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Thanks Sandy great to have you along

[@tonysworksMGB]

I was just in Sebring for the Speedtour races. I wish i could’ve made it up to Amelia this year! What a showing

[@hughtube1]

Thanks for letting us dream. Stunning cars at eye watering prices. sadly out of my league but it is nice to see them before they are restored. Thanks for another great video Hugh

[@richardwhatton1249]

Excellent video Richard, it’s amazing how they still appear from secret hiding places…. I wonder how many there are left out there??? Kind regards, Richard.

[@adamcampbell-jones7621]

Like the programs Richard. U are a skilled mechanic with your Dad. My Dads X F1 driver John Campbell-Jones {deceased}he raced against Phill Hill in F1 & was a mechanic with Graham Hill at Coopers or Lotus before they both became drivers. My Dad raced a lotus 11 that was later owned & raced by Steve Mcqueen & is now in a collection. We met the collector & he said my Dad could drive round Goodwood in it.

[@richardtoonkel6484]

Thanks again.

[@paulcharlesworth319]

Great to see these Jaguars before they disappear into another collection or are restored.

[@planetwisconsin9901]

Super fun love seeing these cars!

[@KevZJ]

Thanks for the video. I was shocked when you touched the Jag and knocked off pieces of the cardboard, though.

[@jwh475ezc]

So those were for sale, not show right? Then not a major faux paux to touch and handle.

[@robertwells1650]

Thanks for sharing those great Jags with us. Always interesting to see what is still being found in barns etc. Cheers

[@MarkSnowden]

Lovely video Richard, Completely forgot about that auction, We should’ve bought a couple of them cars. Keep e’m coming 🤠

[@davidcoan4899]

16 min! 160 wouldn't have been enough.. Excellent. I love the auction video you do.. Like Harry's Garage here in UK..

[@jaguarrroman]

I knew nothing about lost Jags! Thumb up!

[@bobmillerick300]

Great video Richard. Thanks for the share. Did you pick up one of those Bugatti's for yourself? 😎👍

[@JaguarEType]

Nice video, enjoyed the part with the blue cardboard E Type. What the hell makes people to pay that amount of money (117.600 USD) for a car in this condition? It requires a nut and bolt restoration. And this is not even an OBL. Looking forward to more of these.

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Hi Maikel! I though it was more in the 30-40 range. I guess the specification, hardtop and original colors were worth more.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Some Beautiful Cars.... And fascinating Jags.... But My very "To Die for Cars" is the Aston V8 Vantage that was just in the back ground....Beautiful Car... I would love to see a Bonham's auction, but could not afford the Catalogue :-(( Silverstone Auctions just sold a Sierra Cosworth RS 500 for just under £600 000 !!!! 30 times its original cost.... The world of Great Cars is a strange one....$10 million for a car??? Really.... Fantastic to see you again Richard... Keep up the good work... :-))

[@ralphmillais5237]

I was at that auction. The RS500 was an outlandish price, two frenzied bidders in a bidding war, one was rumoured to be on the phone from Dubai. There were a few good prices, but in general it was a disappointing sale with many of the others selling for well below estimate and some stuff was relatively given away. The classic car market in the UK is in a bit of a dip I think.

[@shirleyboy8859]

@@ralphmillais5237 Yes I think you are right.... I had a LOT in the memorabilia sale, a Wheel from a F1 GTR, A very rare Item, I had a reserve of £800 which I thought was very cheap as the cars are worth up to £30 million.. It didn`t sell in the auction, but was sold after. A lot of stuff in this section of the sale also didn`t sell...... I have a Senna Autograph I need to sell, but not sure if an Auction would be the best place to sell at the moment.... :-))

[@kittonsmitton]

Please follow through with the prices, thanks RMO!

[@christinalloyd9566]

I couldn't believe the price the semi lightweight replica E-type went for. £64k Seemed like a bargain to me.

[@johndavey72]

Yikes ! Someone stole that !!

[@jameskearney4100]

I hope they fix it!!

[@philtucker1224]

Being a “replica”, - does that mean it’s effectively a new build car?

[@christinalloyd9566]

@@philtucker1224 I think it is a 1963 car that has been recently modified to look like the original lightweights that were built in period.

[@philtucker1224]

@@christinalloyd9566 ok (so it should hold some provenance, and that will benefit it’s ultimate value.).- very nice!

[@shoominati23]

You can still find E types cheap though, cars that broke down and were never put back into commision, or project cars that were half torn down and never completed. They're out there

[@jeep2003]

All stunners! Iv been looking for a Tc progect like that. Went for 7k not bad

[@conceptalfa]

👍👍👍

[@chaimshamza5850]

I think the orange paint on the block of the blue e type and the hardtop show it is a competition prototype, different spacing for the cylinders, I could be wrong

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

God, how could someone abandon such a beautiful vehicle to get that much rust?

[@Lemma01]

The Lister is important. But (as a late friend of mine used to say) "e-types are like bottoms - everybody's got one!". I wouldn't mind, but 90% have been so heavily upgraded the drivers don't even have the joy of historic motoring. Shame, really.

[@jwilkinson341]

How much did the rusted-out E-type go for, bear in mind no matter how bad it is you have to have one to start a restoration

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes that was cool

A 140 with a split screen?

[@wcads623]

Why do people keep cars so long that they deteriorate too much before putting them up for sale??

[@chhindz]

Don't see why wood dash in last jag could not be original, looks shape of one in yellow jag

[@johna1160]

13:19 Loving the lipstick red E Type in the background. Lighter than the common Jaguar red, and darker than coral. Stock color?

[@David-ci1vn]

What make is the fixed head at 0.33?

Good video! BUT ? Michael you must at least find out the Prices before video production... ...Old Naples Florida🌴🎨

This was filmed before the sale, welll actually during the auction.

[@rbslammed6163]

Never understand why car bloggers don’t just shoot the cars in detail then do sound later when editing Would make shooting better AND quality better

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Its a ton more work to write a script and narrate. If I did it that way, this sale would be old news by the time it was uploaded.

[@lenjames]

Wow..the 1951 Jag XK120 LT3 went for $775k. The money some folks have. Great video Richard

Multiple Banks and investment trusts, very reliable ways of growing asset wealth. (often doubling your money in less than five years…) barn finds will never ever stop!

By the time I got close to the 500 Superfast there were too many people standing around it.
