MT Classic - Jaguar XJ13

[@alemcodon]

wow probably one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

[@alemcodon]

you obviously havent seen a 1987 toyota corolla.....

[@bunta53]

Google Ferrari 330 P4

[@rui2565]

I think It isn't "one of" the most beautiful, but "the" most beautiful car ever made

[@mantasisganaitis2281]

@@bunta53 XJ13 is nicer

[@Bullshit_Media]

@@alemcodon LOL!

[@swinglow33]

Angus, you are one lucky SOB mate. Many thanks for sharing your experience driving that beautiful machine. That car is rolling art. Sounds like a WWII plane.

[@bradleybuckle2995]

that v-12 is the voice of heaven and hell combined

[@flaperke]

@NewtProductions It's not only the looks. It's the sound, the V12, the power, the history, the rarity makes this one of the most beautiful cars ever build

[@road2theoscars]

Jaguar, here's a hint: revive this super car. Make it just like Ford did with the Ford GT.

[@adolpholiverbush2]

God yes, great idea.

[@flyingphoenix113]

They already have a V12 more or less. Use the Aston Martin unit. They used the Jag XK8's V8 in the V8 vantage. Why not return the favor?

[@ajay0841]

Jaguar, like Ferrari, always looks to the future. redesign isn't in their nature. always find a new road. that frankly, is the badass way ahead .. ford GT in reality, is a marketing exercise.. ford should have left the original alone.. did you even see the 2015 "ford GT"?

[@adolpholiverbush2]

Ajay Kumar Its beautiful, the new GT, but I still prefer the old Mk 1 version. If I had the money, a Superformance GT40 Mk 1 would be my car.

[@road2theoscars]

Jaguar will face extinction if it doesn't come up with solid designs and smart marketing in the next 10 years. I am personally a Jag enthusiast, I own three of them, including an E-Type. Jaguar's design team is asleep. Whatever is graceful, classic, and beautiful they have gotten rid of. The Jaguar heritage is gone. What's left is a bunch uncharacteristic, lackluster, and uninspiring model line-up. If you pull the badge off of any new Jaguar these days and call them Lexus or Toyota or Infiniti, people will believe it. Jaguar's poor sales figures speak loudly. That's why looking backwards is sometimes the best way of looking forward. Don't even get me started on Ferrari.

[@newskin9234]

Dear mother of god... the fact that this masterpiece of engineering and design was unfinished is heart shattering.

[@WALLtechGaming]

That was a great piece on a great car. Thanks Angus and MT.

[@chrisogrady28]

The most beautiful car ever made, and the interior shots were filmed with a potato

[@pckid888]

This video in 720HD is such a treat!! An audio and visual delight!

[@schrodingerscat1863]

Really is a work of art, I love Jags of that vintage.

[@geraldswain3259]

What a stunningly beautiful car !!!.

[@PKmode]

Yeah, this is one of my favorite cars of all time. Victory by design has a peice on it in the Jaguar episode. In my opinoin, one of the most beautiful automotive shapes ever. Simply gorgeous.

[@Bret928]

This has to be the sexiest cars ever made. Thanks for sharing this significant bit of history. Well done…

[@wfangnxd117]

this is the most beautiful car I've ever seen...and I thought the dbs, xj220, and f40 were gorgeous...

[@Darrning]

For me this is the most beautiful car ever made, together at the XJ220. Too beautiful... it's a real dream car...

[@peterturner5618]

Please, please Jaguar update the car, don't change the looks, just the engine, suspension, etc and release it. You'll make millions and Jaguar will re-established itself as a great car company.

[@suffern63]

Next project for Eagle

[@refusoagaino6824]

why do they all think we want to look at closeups of their faces and teeth? Ugh. Was there a car in the video?

[@goropeza101]

Without a doubt, this rare jag is the most sexiest racecar ever made! If this car was to go up for auction in the US,it would fetch upwards of $15 million dollars or more!

[@HugoStiglitz88]

I've driven this car many times. In GT6 lol

[@miguelrodrigo3233]

Es una obra de arte. Gracias por el reportaje.

[@davzinzan]

The first in a long line of Jaguar projects which shouldn't have been cancelled

[@motorpsykler]

This was 2010? Looks like it was filmed on Super 8mm!

[@TheMaTaSS]

what i like about this is that it doesnt look like a race car but a sportscar

[@akm169mm]

I can never drive this piece of gorgeous history in real life...However I am just as happy admiring it and driving it in Gran Turismo 5. Sometimes it isn't enough though !

[@chonyc77]

Unfortunately, they dont make cars like this anymore. What a beauty!!

[@JVICTORBRAZIL1]

The most beautiful car I've ever seen

[@reekashade]

Jag should revisit this concept car and do a scaled down roadster.It would gut the competition with style and grace.Bring it on!!!!

[@Vizcaio]

@PKmode totaly agree. The sound, the shape. This one goes to the top of my alltime fav's

[@MrOmega1987]

Lovely car.Nice spark of the British Jag.

[@nabbunsechkie]

oh god. just listen to that exhaust. just got all tingly

[@kroberts9884]

Beautiful! In some of those scenes it sounds like a Spitfire taxiing out to the end of the runway for take-off.

[@KlockworXMusic]

And the XJ13 took styling cues from the E-Type. From your comment, I thought about it and in my head, I had this weird idea of the E-Type slowly evolving into the XJ220! Haha! Beautiful cars however you look at it though!

[@BuffaloWarrior7]

Almost looks like the old speed racer car. Beautiful car I don't know much about Jags let alone classic one of a kinds but it sounds amazing.

[@pizzacookiesreefer]

I'd be stoked to just get one of these in gran turismo 5 but I never save my credits. This guy is getting to drive one in real life by himself, I bet you he's holding back tears of joy while he's in front the camera. I

[@SupercarsGT]

Firstly congratulations for the movie.About the car only word:Beauty.

[@Whitehorze]

Credit where credit is due, that is one gorgeous machine.

[@MrDaiseymay]

See--Jaguar XJ13-victory by design---great sound and visuals

[@AnonymoussourceL0L]

True. But I was referring to how much hp they could squeeze out of much older technology and lesser quality fuel. But it's true that you could easily squeeze way more power out of the DB9's engine if you tried.

[@mikeshotrodshop]

Nice! I think Jaguar needs to build more of these now (and ginve this cheap old one ;) so that all of the people can expierience the pleasure of driving around in one of these. Thanks for giving us all a taste and a look at something most of us will not even have the cahnce to look at.

[@lamborgboy]

Much better than any current american car and one of the best looking cars ever

[@TheWierdFish]

My dear sir, I can assure you that the XF most certainly does follw in Jaguars traditions. It is, just like the XJ was when it first came out, a sleek, stylinsh, modern car, at the cutting edge of what's possible, at a competetive price, and with a dirving experience to leave you wondering why anyone else even bothers. No, it doesn't have the familliar grace of the old XJ, but did the final versions of that have much anyway, bloated as they were? What it is is crisp, modern and beautiful.

[@KlockworXMusic]

The engine in the XJ13 is what they based all of the V12's in production cars off of if I am correct. You could take any V12 probably and bring it up to spec roughly. The original is carbed though, not fuel injected, correct? I love the 12 velocity stacks on the engine. Beautiful car.

[@reditch]

the most beautiful racing car ever!!!!!

[@lewis72]

Yeah, that was actually a boast of the first V12 to go in the BMW 750iL, so I'm not sure if that really is the case for the Jag V12. The V12 XJ-S & XJ saloons are vastly undervalued IMO at the moment. Must get one !

[@shananagans5]

Pretty much any V12 sings but yea,I agree,the 60's V12 have a really nice sound. There is just something about an all mechanical motor. The computer controls,electronic ignition etc has improved bottom line performance but they somehow lose something. You no longer hear the lopy cam at idle that lets you know that car was built for performance.It's no longer up to you to find the sweet spot in an engine,the computer does it for you. The best way I can say it is the older cars have a personality

[@FrankValchiria]

wow such a great car :-)and what a sound

[@035TheAlexa]

Your comment would be more accurate if it would have sounded: This is the most beautiful car ever made.

[@035TheAlexa]

Just listen to it while passing by @4:11 LOVELY

[@rdrg7362]

Amazingly beautiful car.

[@singleblankscreen]

All M/T Videos need to be this good!

[@matt6517]

Absolutely beautiful, and it's uniqueness jus makes it even more desirable.

[@GearheadOutlaw]

What a beautiful peace of history

[@ROCKSOLID19]

Yes, that stunning and exclusive piece of design excellence and the XJ15 which was far from perfect when in competition but kind to the eye in terms of design excellence. My comment was citing the lack of British mid-engined production cars. I adore British cars but the Italians seem to suss it out better than us.

[@dantecolo4596]

The sucessor of ftype should be designed with this thing in mind , wonderful car

[@Gewehr_3]

Haha yup, hey it's good to hear that there are some car lovers in Singapore! I hear that owning a car is ridiculously expensive over there.

[@theresadewet1199]

Thank you, Angus.

[@1938dmkdz]

Brits did have some good cars, I had a Healey and when you went over a 100 mph you knew it, the side windows were great.

[@aattura1541]

+george andrews When I went over 80 the side windows of my Elva would open up sideways like wiiiingsHelped a friend restore a Healey-- man those rocker panels rusted out on SO MANY Healeys!!!

[@benbennit]

Stunning car. Can you get a kit car version?

[@milootje007]

jizzzzzzz definatly in my top 5 al time most beautiful cars ever

[@MichaelShimniok]

That is pure music.

[@slavoy11]

60's V12 on Ferrari's and Jag's had superb sound

[@akm169mm]

It's actually the easiest Endurance race. For me anyways. Just raced the X1 prototype around it and I was done at about an hour and 45 minutes. Had no idea I was getting this gorgeous car though. I almost leaped out of my chair when I this car come up as my prize :))

[@Nizmo370Z]

See if it wasn't for Edward Loades spotted the crashed XJ13 in storage at Jaguar and made the offer to 'Lofty' England that his company Abbey Panels should rebuild the car. The car was rebuilt, to a specification similar to the original, using some of the body jigs made for its original construction and at a cost of £1000 to Jaguar. The XJ13 finally made its public debut in July 1973 when 'Lofty' drove it around Silverstone at the British Grand Prix meeting and it is now displayed in the

[@mdfk667]

This car makes such a naughty sound, that the clip should be flagged as inappropriate. And the shape, damn it great! Epic car

[@mustang750r]

@FormulaKimball That race is the most expensive and most fun race I ever had in a racing game or sim for that matter.

[@AdamS32828]

Angus MacKenzie is great, but for once in my life I just want to hear the car. Fantastic.

[@therealboofighter]

good video. victory by design showed this car awhile ago, so did Jeremy Clarkson in one of his videos. but it is still good to see the car, and you did a good job on the video. please keep making videos, we are getting better with each one.

[@palefaced1]

This car is beautiful

[@EAP3rd]

Hey, where can I pick up a couple of these? LOL. Gorgeous automobile.

[@thomaslamera]

This car is amazing.

[@lewis72]

The 5.3 Jaguar V12 was a supercars' engine for the everyday man.

[@t45tube]

@harris3693 Not as far as I know. Certainly the original 4.6 litre Ford V8 fitted to Mustangs predates Jaguar's original 4 litre V8 introduced in the XK8, and those are completely different engines. With both Jags and Mustangs now using 5 litre V8s, and with Ford once owning Jaguar it does look like they could be the same - but as far as I can tell, they're still completely different engines developed on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

[@TheWierdFish]

Hardly, the new XF is fantastic in every way, and though I'm not entirely convinced by the rear end styling of the new XJ, that's great too.

[@DolleHengst]

Norman Dewis crashed the car with journalists on site. He walked away, went home at the end of the day..... and didn't tell his wife about it! She found out through the newspaper, the next day

[@Hcai75]

DolleHengst Understandable. Thank you for sharing that piece of information.

[@bologna1400]

If Jaguar put out a similarly styled car today, it would sell very well.

[@pjscottartist]

beautiful car. The XJ220 seems have taken lots of styling cues from this.

[@FinalDriveGame]

GT5 Really capitalized on this video. In the opening video they explicitly show the Jaguar XJ13, Ford GT40, and Ferrari 330p4 neck and neck down Mulsanne straight.

[@TheWierdFish]

Funded by Indians, run by Brits. Think what you will mate, I'm a long time Jag man, I've got three (ish) for cripes sake, and I think that it's bloody brilliant that Jag has finally got off its arse, and designed a new car. And not just one, but three fantastic new cars. The XK, XF and XJ. All three are a credit to the marque, and thoroughly worthy of the badge.

[@SMlFFY85]

Saw this car at Goodwood FoS in '07. It was so loud it I could hardly hear the Gulf Porsche 917K revving it engine in front of me.

[@Brettannica1]

It’s not the only one in the world. A father and son duo from Perth have hand built one at Newlans Coachbuilders in Perth from plans and photos. Jaguar have stated that is equivalent to a second one and due to the quality and exacting specifications is not therefore a copy.

[@richardharrold9736]

It's OK, but it does not use the original quad-cam engine (of which only two complete examples survive - one is in the rebuilt original, the other belongs to Neville Swales who is building a replica of the pre-crash car): it uses a fairly standard SOHC 5.3 and as such is about five inches too high at the rear compared to the real thing. I think that most XJ13 replicas use GT40 type suspension, too.

[@paulhunter123]

and you drive a honda

[@Brettannica1]

As opposed to you taking the bus?

[@richardharrold9736]

Brett annica paul hunter I'm just stating, the Aussie replica isn't absolutely authentic, because it uses the later, taller 5.3 SOHC V12 and some non-standard suspension components. Even Jaguar's own car is not authentic, as it was rebuilt very differently to the original after its big crash. The one and only truly authentic XJ13 is Neville Swales' example.

[@Brettannica1]

+Richard Harrold I agree with you and appreciate learning a bit more. My information came from chatting to the owner, hence I went with what I had been told. Not too sure what Paul's Honda waffle was about. The bus crack was directed at his comment. Thanks

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

some aussie bloke has made a 5.4 v12 quad cam with two aj6 heads cut and reworked in a hot rod build on youtube!

[@PillCozbee]

"Like climbing into a time capshuwell. An oh so gorgeous time capshuwell."

[@g3user1usa]

I got to drive it balls out... in Gran Turismo V. Haha. It was definitely worth having as a classic car for my garage. A real beauty.

[@Ignamore15]

this car its a piece of metal but... its the best piece of metal ever made

[@TheWierdFish]

Well, you can pick up an XJ12 for £3-4k, and an XJS for about the same. Running costs are high, between 17 and 4 mpg is what I usually get in mt S1 XJ12 depending on how jolly my right foot is feeling. It has been known to hit low 20s though, so mpgs aren't too evil. You actually can do the penny thing with my Jag. (well, could. I've chipped a lump out of the water pump pulley, so at about 5000 rpm, there's a little vibration.

[@lewis72]

Many see Jaguar as a poor man's Aston but this could suggest otherwise. I love both Jaguar & AML.

[@suburbia2050]

Errr no, in the 50s 60s and 70s it certainly wasnt!

[@akm169mm]

It takes time to fully take potential of an engine. For instance look at the v6 engines coming out right now with over 320 hosepower NA.That's faster than most V8 muscle cars back in the day.

[@ArrowTrajectory]

Sound done right.

[@1ndomitus]

Was that the soundtrack of a WWII war movie where the Spitfires fly by? 5:41 - 5:44

[@johnsim3722]

Ian Callum used the looks of the XJ13 as inspiration for the CX75. And sadly, that too never went in to production.

[@jp0fighter]

Nice Sounds! !

[@jaguarclubrussia7948]

Fantastic car!!!

[@DemonDevistation]

This is the best video iv ever seen

[@FormulaKimball]

@mustang750r oh yes ... and in GT5 it's a wonderful machine to drive.

[@lambrigini]

now thats what an engine should sound like

[@Phased_Array]

Must agree, this very well could be the best looking ever...

[@lewis72]

They didn't really make cars like this then !! As only 1 was ever built, it hardly typifies cars from that era!! I get where you're coming from but XJ220 is something !!

[@D1sepuku]

Truly one of the most beautiful and elegant cars of all time. Shame it never got to see green at Le Mans. -F*** Hybrids!!!

[@KlockworXMusic]

Even the older jaguars that were pudgy, (Of which you could say the XJ13 is) they pulled off pudgy in a way that worked. Its like a woman. If she is fat all over, it does not look good, but say she a narrow mid section, with wide hips and big bosoms, then its marvelous! And that is like the XJ13, pudgy, but the lines, the placement of "The Pudgy" makes it beautiful! The new jaguars, they through the pudgy on in globs, here an there, and then ALL OVER! It just is not right!
