[@K1lostream]

Just a little tip for cars with a handbrake- if you pull the lever and let the ratchets click, it wears them just a little every time you do it. Especially on older cars, if you hold in the button you use to release the handbrake as you’re pulling it, and then release the button and settle the lever onto the ratchet, it saves it from wearing and becoming liable to ‘jump’. Could save on trying to find rare parts or, worse, your classic rolling away and causing an expensive problem somewhere!

Tbh, it was. Its a beautiful thing to behold, but even in its ultimate v12 with the funky quad muffler form, it sounds more like a truck than a British sportscar. The Lotus Elan of that era, sounds more compelling to take around corners.

@@TheNecromancer6666 The 6 cyl E Types in Europe were all manual, I think. When the V12 E Type came out, Jaguar didn't have a manual box that would handle the torque, so they started out as all automatics, Europe and USA. Later on they got a manual box that would handle the torque, but most V12 E Types were going to the USA, so they were automatic. Manuals are very rare, but they are lovely to drive.

Why doesn't Jaguar just remake this model with current tech? It was a big hit then and would be again. Retro XKE. Makes me smile

[@arthurguilfoil1082]

In the mid 60s I bought a 63 E and had it for about 5 years then sold it. I had to learn how to rebuild the complete engine due to several problems mainly a cracked block between 5-6 cyl. I finally got another engine and replaced the block and then while it was running good I then sold it. Now not to really comparing to different cars but I now have a miata and it being a small sports car it brings back lots of fine memories. I like the look from inside down the hood with the center bulge for the dual overhead cam engine just like the Jaguar. It's the best I can do considering the cost of a Jag. For the money the miata is a great little car with the removable hard top.

[@2ears1mouth786]

That cabin is stunning!!!

[@jensenhealey907efi]

The same engine with the manual transmission makes it a totally different experience. The V12 Jaguar engine is a short stroke big bore design that really likes to rev but the automatic gearbox means most of the time it is just not possible to really get up into the powerband of the motor. You will notice the redline on the tach is at 6500rpm. The auto trans just sucks all of the life out of the engine since it mostly forces the driver to lug around at 2500 - 3000 rpm.The XJS cars were even worse since they came with a TH400 auto trans and a 2.88 rear diff ratio. This car at least has the 3.54, 3.31 or 3.07 diff so it's slightly better.

[@roadie3124]

I remember the red line being 7200 rpm. That might have been the European model. They had to do some very weird stuff for the USA, mainly because of California.

Had a 74 convertible same color combo. Scored 97.5 at concourse events. Could only drive the “Cat” in the fall or early spring due to amplifier over heating on hot summer days. Real head turner and enjoyed it for 15 years.

[@cozmcwillie7897]

Tedward A couple of tips for you. If the engine starts to overheat put the heater on full blast; this is 100% effective for drawing off excess heat. The other I was told by someone who seemed to know what he was on about. Don't rev up before you switch off. You might think it's good to give the battery a final charge,: however, I'm told when you turn off the key the oil pump stops immediately, if it's been revved first, for a second or two there's still momentum in the pistons with little or no lubrication. I used to rev mine cos I liked the sound of the engine, then stopped when I was told this. Whether it's true or not with all engines (or any) I'm keen to learn. Please let me know.

[@frankbeaton4776]

Are you sure? Surely the oil pump runs from the engine and the petrol pump will stop when you turn off at the key.

[@cozmcwillie7897]

@@frankbeaton4776 Yeah, somebody else mentioned this too, elsewhere. However the person who told me not to rev up seemed to know what they were on about. Maybe he was referring to cars with a particular kind of oil pump. I'm leaving the comment incase other people have light to shed on it too.

[@finallyitsed2191]

I've got a 1971 Series III and noticed that the one you were driving has the "US Safety" knockoffs. You will definitely need to have a tool to remove those. Mine has the true spinner style similar to the 1963 Corvette hubcaps but with two wings instead of three. I suppose the government thought the spinners were too dangerous but I figure if you get hit with the spinners while the car is going down the road, odds are you're a little to close anyway. Beautiful car you have there.

[@carsandstuff365]

All Series 3 with wires have those knock offs and not eared knock offs .. they changed from 2 eared knock offs to smooth ones that you need the tool at series 1.5 in 1968

From this review I do see why people say the series 3 lost the "edge" of the earlier e-types; I am picturing man handling an unpowered steering rack and rowing your own gears on a throaty straight 6 as being a very different experience from this much more refined grand touring coupe.
