“Jag- wire?” What kind of wire is that?
I have a 1979 XJ6 that I bought 20 years ago, still has original motor with 39,604 miles. It was built in June 79
I have an 86 xj6. Unfortunately, mine was not well cared for, parts were hard to find, expensive, and overly complicated. BUT, I knew that going in. I've probably dumped $50-$60,000 in repairs so far. Probably another $50,000 in fuel last year. And I love it. The car has a look that says, "I'm not the baddest guy on the street, but the baddest guys don't screw with me." It doesn't accelerate. It advances.
Country music artist Barbara Mandrell was driving a 1984 XJ when she and her two children were hit head on on September 11 1984. All three survived. Just minutes before, they had seen children playing in a station wagon in front of them in traffic. The clamshell tailgate was open and no one was wearing seatbelts. Barbara told everyone to buckle up. Minutes later, they were hit head on by 19 year old college student, Mark White. He was not buckled up and was killed instantly. Barbara went on to make television and radio psa's about seatbelt safety. She was standing behind her wrecked Jaguar in the television ads.
Beutiful example. I have owned several eightees and ninetees Jaguars, both 6cyl and V12, including ser3 (My all time favorite) Most of those used as daily drivers and every single one of them have been top reliable. Propper care, maintainance and knowledge is the key to success here.
Jaguar not jagwa lad. Get it right.
But "Jag-wire" though??? I'm not saying pronounce it like the Brits, but.... .........
Nothings up ! It’s not a “ Jagwar “ it’s pronounced “JAG-YOU-ARE “ . Americans really struggle speaking English although it’s their first language.
It's pronounced jaguar, not jagwar. Simple English.
People in the uk and Europe don't understand why Americans say jaguars are difficult and have engine failures. We just don't have these issues. I can only assume we look after our cars better becsusd we have annual government inspection so cars have to be maintained or they will not pass inspection mot fail means cars cannot be driven until fixed and retested.
Haha, you and me both, Mitchell! I too wanted an XJ6 since high school, but I didn't have the girlfriend's mother who tossed the keys to me. What is amazing about the Series III is it is one of those rare cars where the "facelift" is seriously more beautiful than predecessors. Sir William's original design with Pinninfarina giving it a vigorous massage resulted in sheer beauty.
I bought a non-running, golden Series 3 XJ12 for when I was eighteen. Thanks to your and Adams videos I as able to get it running and ready. I'm 20 now. Since then, I have driven 10.000 miles with it. It's been really reliable and the fuel consumption on long journeys is okay. It has never let me down once.
I have owned many old Jags and now own a series 3 XJ12 and I love it though there have been issues but I know them pretty well. My advice to Jag owners is to not be afraid to dive in and get to know the car as they are not as complex as is often perceived and problems once you know them can be fixed for a fraction of the rice often quoted at a shop. I hate the trend for yanking the motors out of these and fitting a small block V8- it's horrible. The inline six is an iconic engine dating back to the forties and still sounds gorgeous. The V12 is a lot quicker ( almost double the HP) and sounds amazing with a little exhaust work but my advice is to go for the inline six as they are easier to work on and are somehow more iconic as a true Jag. In my opinion the Series 1, 2 and 3 XJ's which were designed by Jaguar guru and original owner, William Lyons, are among the most beautiful cars ever made and were a grand finale for Jags. Anything built later is just not the same and the new Jags are just plain boring and unrecognizable. Nice car you have there XJ.
My own Daimler double six (Japanese Import) came with just 20 k on the clock and as new with not even a crease in the doeskin leather . It replaced my 7 series BMW which was so infested with electronic bugs that it had to be scrapped . The Daimler is a 1000 times the BMW ever was or ever could be but last week I noticed a rumble from the rear differential which turned into a vibration which turned into a brand new axle job . The specialist put the failure down to standing in a japanese showroom for 30 years ! Beware as very costly to replace the differential . but the car ....oh my .its motoring perfection , no other car can equal it .
Nice commentary Jesse. I have been driving mine for over 30 years. Thanks for sharing the love for these wonderful cars. But please, please tell your bud that there is no such thing as a jagwire ;)
I just bought my series 3 back to life and I absolutely adore it. It turns heads
great video, everything has been said and humor is on the level. keep up a good work. Love from Croatia.
Just got a series 3. Love your videos!
Thank you for the video Mitchell, absolutely gorgeous condition. I have a 1984 XJ12 Sovereign HE, an off white cream colour with, unfortunately, a sprinkling of rust patches dotted around, all very sad. She's under cover in the driveway in Redruth Cornwall UK awaiting some loving attention and cash! I remember driving her late at night down the M5 and onto the A30 then stretching her legs with hardly anything on the road and listening to ABBA Gold on the cassette tape!! Just sublime. Oh yes, that's right, I remember having to stop for fuel just before Okehampton and filling one of the tanks. There is nothing smoother and quieter. You don't think you are driving it, you just feel as though you are pulling the horizon towards you. Keep it under cover with plenty of wax. Best Wishes from the United kingdom
Well put together doco or youtube. You gave the good and the bad in a loving way.
