My Next Jaguar? 24 Hours With An F-Type Project 7

[@ericokompatzki7110]

It's funny seeing how Sam struggles with the roof, while for Harry Metcalfe it's a piece of cake. 😂 Practice makes the master, I guess.

[@phatlaz1974]

Any one who’s owned an early British roadster from the 60’s . Would be rolling there eyes

[@stevemcmillan9194]

I just commented same thing - Sam go watch an expert at Harry’s garage

[@rhysgolliker7454]

Harry from Harry’s Garage seems to have nailed the roof storage, although not a solution for a press car 😂

[@simons4474]

Yeah and I think he l be going a touch quicker than sixty driving on the autoroute. I'm sure he said it was 150 mph you could do.

He also proved the roof works and keeps heavy rain out.

My respect for Jaguar went way up seeing how gladly they’re letting Sam spend time with their products and special opportunities like this. Love seeing that storage!

Harry, from Harry's Garage, is currently blasting around France in his Project 7 and can't stop raving about it. They must be good.

He also showed how to stow the roof and maintain boot space and mentioned the speed with it on was at the 150mph mark I believe.

[@mike.sharp4578]

@@wheelsandwatches I am a lucky project 7 owner. The speed limit on the roof rail states 120mph with the roof in place

At 16.38 the plaque says it's 1 of 250. I thought Harry owned number 1, hence all the signature on the inside boot lid.

[@grahames9228]

@@jonnyleslie1 I think that plaque is just to remind the owner that there are only 250 units built, not that it is car number one built.

[@allanreardon]

Came here to say that Harry's definitely got the storage issue sorted, and the rain and speed didn't seem to be an issue. But it seems everyone has watched Harry's video, except maybe Sam. 🤣

[@zzz360]

you need to do a collab video with harry's garage in regards to the Project 7. that would be awesome.

All of a sudden I’m thinking the roof on my 718 Spyder is a work of art!

[@lanmastersassistant659]

I wish I could send you a personal thankyou Sam, you along with a number of other car people have kept me going these last few years, Saturday last week I took the plunge and finally bought one of my dream cars, a 1954 Morgan +4 four seater. It wasn't looking for this car in particular but it turned out to be everything I wanted in a car. The first trip out was heavenly and all those years fighting the blues, trying to figure out what I wanted to be all faded away. I'm extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to get and live my dream, but watching you on drive the world, and seeing people like Duncan Pittaway living his classic car dream, kept me going and gave me purpose and drove me to my dream. I'm sure I'll get go meet you one day and I can only wish you the best as you continue your journey.

[@atastefortheroad4475]

Congrats and enjoy!

Nooo, that’s not enough farting around! That warehouse is epic!

You can hear Tony laughing from his house when Sam is fitting the roof 😆 🤣 😄 😂 great vid Sam 👍 👌

[@jayaychare7318]

I instantly loved the blue on the project 7 when it first was launched 🤤

[@timbonfield3589]

A Project 7 would be an amazing thing to compliment the 360 and would say is properly undervalued currently, great usable collectors/enthusiasts cars but not an every day proposition.

[@user-wg5tl3xw6j]

Would really like a tour of that jaguar collection! There are some amazing cars hiding in there with great history!

[@6T3RS]

Sam’s passion for Jaguar is contagious! I almost forgot about them…..

[@Stigs722]

I would love to have Tony doing commentary as Sam was trying to build the roof

[@Skaftrippers013]

6:52 sams f-type really was the coolest f-type around at that time

[@FFE-js2zp]

The P7 is one of the rarest and best cars ever made. Good luck finding one. The 2015 F-Type R is essentially identical, so thats an easy choice. And all V8 F's tune to the same effortless 700HP, making the 2014 even more essentially identical.

[@justinwilliams9291]

We love to see a project seven on channel

[@zanzaneet]

thank you so much for showing the roof works its just small mysteries in life which when unveiled give you joy awesome video!

[@birdboxx9075]

Harry’s garage says you can go up to 150mph with roof on surely it’s not 60mph Sam 😂

The passion in your voice Sam speaks volume, alot of other vloggers should take note , not just vlog for a video 👍 great content Sam keep it up 👌

[@richardjohntierney5434]

Wow, that museum was awesome, could spend days just looking at all the cars. Great video

[@BlargMyShnoople]

I thought the 718 Spyder had a bad roof, that thing looks like such a hassle hahaha

[@lifethroughoptics]

What a place and what a car! Thanks for being us along for the journey Sam 🙏

[@danielthompson1735]

I absolutely appreciate that you, Sam, have access to dailies, but the faff involved with that roof would make it undrivable for 75% of the year. It'll look fantastic in the garage, but it's beyond impractical.

[@alexgoss6366]

Go and watch Harry's garage's 2000 mile roadtrip in his, looks perfectly practical!

[@b.willroth8384]

There is a roof how-to on YT - and from Harry’s road trip video we can assume that the top speed with the canvas mounted is slightly above 60 mph. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXZaKSXjbKUaMU

[@benclinch6056]

Harry said with roof on at least 150mph.🙏🏻

[@denisspratt926]

I do hope you get a Project 7. Cause I feel that it's a car you love so much that you'll keep it permanently with your 360. The Project 7 is the coolest and most special of the F-Types so I hope you somehow can afford one. If not then I would go for the SVR, just because it sound better than the new R. Nice video.

[@mrtwills]

If love to see a video where someone just follows you and shows all the behind the scenes setup and filming you do. These vlogs are so great and then when you think about the extra b-roll you do it’s very impressive.

Awesome car and great company, my brother worked for them for years, even I was treated with the same hospitality that you are, big love to JLR

There s a bloke in the Cotswolds a farmer I think, He has a modification out for the boot. Dramatically increases usability. It's called a pen knife I think.

[@cracer1231]

It works if you're road tripping from UK to the south of France as Harry proved, however I kinda think you'd be better with an old SVR for the UK. Maybe a P7 in time where you can just use it for that kinda driving and have other super/sportscars for the UK.

[@drivenmad2089]

Weird, I saw a F-Type SVR convertible last night(also in white) and now this video goes live! Maybe it’s a sign I need to buy one too😂. Fantastic video as usual Sam

[@markeedle8556]

Fire engine @6:18 - I thought that was used in support of Thrust SSC in late 90's.

[@colinw1591]

In terms of depreciation, a P7 must be a better bet than any other F type even if the purchase price is higher. Am sure you've seen Harry touring France in his and appears to be water tight in heavy rain too....

[@jamins827]

At the risk of repeating commented below… Sam…. A 60+ year old bloke has demonstrated less drama putting the roof on and off a project 7 and has also gives it considerable more over-steer on some interesting roads (don’t say being him being in the alps is an excuse).

[@ashtonmark24]

Do like the Proj 7 but would have to be an SVR coupe for me, that P7 roof looks a right faff and no boot space for touring/overnighting either... Great track weapon though...

[@marcusdoling7698]

Fun to watch. Glad my lowly Audi A3 Cabrio electric soft top only take 10 seconds to put up and down!! A very cool car though. Just watched Harry's France road trip

[@jamespugh]

Sam dream jag for sure. Sound amazing on over run . But roof is not practical you not use for road trips well or day to day out no store trips out going solo

[@jamesroseby3823]

The roof? A small inconvenience for what is a super special drive. Just ask Harry doing a French tour in his. What a Jeckyll and Hyde beast!

[@tunes4life]

At 4:48 was that an XK 120 convertible that you dismissed? lol The only reason i think it's one of them,it was on TopGear when they did the race,between the train and the bike...

[@lukek9694]

The project 7 looks and sounds excellent. Although a project 8 is a lot less faff and a more useable car for where you live.

[@8evvied]

A project 7 in racing green with silver wheels is probably my dream car

[@007knick]

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I prefer the modern F type. It’s much more usable as a car you could daily drive. In my mind the project 7 would be a car you couldn’t really drive much because of that roof. Imagine taking it to mainland Europe ? You’d need a separate car for your luggage

[@mike.sharp4578]

Ok I understand Sam can not deface the press car but as a project 7 owner, I have had the bulkhead in the boot cut away and retrimed. This allows for the roof components to be stored in there bags and the full set of f type luggage set to be carried in the boot. I can even place more soft bags into the wheel arches. I believe the project 7 has more capacity than a standard roadster.
