A fitting send off. So many KZbin Channels make a series about a project car then never mention it when it's finished. Well done Drivetribe.

[@adamhousden6349]

Drive tribe have already started that trend, check out the older videos with the different engine for the Mazda etc, loads of unfinished projects associated with this channel, bit disappointing really

[@willkauffman5079]

Read the collecting cars description, the car is a well polished dog.

[@karlosbricks2413]

@@willkauffman5079 sounds about the same as most cars of its age in fairness. I note a lack of any dings or dents mentioned which is frankly pretty good going on a car that as standard isn't that desirable or valuable.

[@ljones396]

​@@willkauffman5079you're not wrong, I had a look around it at the NEC and it was a little rough and ready to say the least. I don't think anything was removed prior to a respray, it all just looked a little ..crusty.

I love it when Richard is more natural infront of camera like this.

Agreed, thats true for the whole old top gear trio. I'm not too fond of the show-and-fun stuff. They and the cars are interesting enough as is.

Finally you worked enough on the editing to give us proper Top Gear vibes.

[@Greig300]

I thought this too

[@DroneStrike1776]

They are very limited to what they could do so they don't resemble old Top Gear. The BBC lawyers will slap a cease and desist. It's why The Grand Tour was so anchored down.

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

@@DroneStrike1776 Or the channel wasn't generating enough revenue for such high production values to come into place. Lets not forget that other than the odd Captain slow garage-filmed bit, this is mostly a Hammond effort.

[@thehwguy4293]

​@@panaceiasuberes6464 it's honestly a mix of both, though more of it has to do with the BBC (I mean, it _is_ a government owned, funded, and run organization).

[@jeffreycraig4493]

@@panaceiasuberes6464 Shows have copyright, if another show copies them too much, that show can get sued. So Drivevibe is trying not to resemble Top Gear too much. Only way to not get sued is by buying the rights to the show

[@Vito.H]

I think Drivetribe is now the new place for the Trio to continue their antics together and express their love for cars.

[@farishanafiah8461]

I don't think Clarkson is much involved with Drivetribe. I do see May occasionally, but still not as frequent as Hammond.

[@drumkidstu]

Hammond owns Drivetribe now. It’s his baby.

[@Russkivol]

Clarkson has mentally moved on to farming. May rather fancies his new role in Life. Now, Hammond is really the only active geared left of the trio.

[@cvn6555]

IDK. So far it has not been all that great and quite a few of the content has been jumped-up adverts.

[@icarium9304]

Hardly. Would you go from multiple millions per season, to barely a drop in the bucket on youtube? None of them NEED the money, so they very easily COULD, but it's just very unlikely.

[@AbramovAndrei]

[@julietmike1018]

I absolutely love builds like this. Some people throw the baby out with the bathwater sometimes, and by the time they are done with their build, the car they have doesn't even resemble the car they started with. This is the perfect way to build a car. It's not changing it. It's making everything better.

2:05 "Baggier than your grandmas... Sofa" - not gonna lie, I was expecting something else

[@Archieboy799]

I fell in love with this car so much when it was featured, I was actually motivated to buy a 4.2 XKR in blue and have it as my daily driver. I drove it to the DriveTribe meet last year and had an epic day. However sadly whilst on my way home from the gym in November I aquaplaned at about 60 mph onto the grass verge on a B road about 2 miles from my house and went head on into a tree. Luckily nobody was injured besides my lovely Jaaagg. I hope whoever buys this car loves and enjoys it as much as I loved mine.

I grew up watching Jeremy Clarkson James May and Richard Hammond. As we get older, I miss watching the old Top Gear and Grand Tour very much. I still have my 2002 Jaguar XJR and 2011 Jaguar XKR.

[@monkeymanstones1]

I loved the XJ8 VDP. So incredibly quiet inside, which I love.

[@aslamc9288]

This is the car content I need. I love this generation of XK and the one that came after even more, I always wished they had a proper manual. A dream realized, for sure. Even XJs of that era were so charming, I’d have loved one with a manual. Closest we got was an S Type with a stick.

[@mikep8442]

It really does feel like old Top Gear! Good music, FX, camera angles and production ! Well done

[@enigmaficate]

By far one of my favorite cars of all time. The shape. The sound. Its pure

[@anbu999]

Richard Hammond, the man who owns the smallest cog.

[@lman018]

ever since Die Another Day i've been in love with XKR. my fave Jag. id so bid on that if i could cos damn that is a beautiful machine

[@bicyclist2]

If I had six figures to spend, I'd buy a dozen or more Jag XK's and send them all off to the Jag race shop that did this conversion, and have them do it again to a few more cars. So glad that Hammond likes it. I firmly believe that this is the absolute best Jag XK in the whole world. We need many more people working hard to keep the classic manual transmission alive. Thanks.

[@whatelseb-sidesvinyl747]

Lovely sound and supercharger whine, a very nicely sorted car there... Loved my XKR when I had it, don't miss the rust though! Manual conversion was always a bit of a dream. Would have been even more interesting to make it a sequential shifter like a Touring car! Also love my CTEK chargers, going to look into the garage version for my XJ!

[@chesspiece81]

I absolutely loved this car. I would have loved to have seen some real power making upgrades thrown at it. Headers, cat delete, upgraded supercharger, intercooling system, smaller SC and larger crank pullies, E85 fuel system, and intake upgrades.

[@zachdebuhr6347]

A smaller sc pulley would ruin the engine. The eaton unit on these is very inefficient and adds a ton of heat at higher rpms, only way to really get more power out of the aj27s is to get a twin screw SC and swap it in

[@Jay-ql4gp]

It sounds gorgeous!

[@gseric4721]

Absolutely fell in love with this car playing Gran Turismo 4 as a kid. Had no idea that it was never mass produced for the manual variation.
