My British repairs mechanic has a handy formula: whatever an MGB costs to repair, multiply that by three for a TR6 or by five for a Jaguar. Watching this video has reminded me of it.
I know I'm in a minority but I actually prefer the series 3. Still love the older ones but the series 3 sorted the weird skinny track of the previous cars. The coupe looks a bit ungainly but the roadster looks beautiful.

Great video with useful information for potential owners. As an ex V12 E Type owner I'll share the main thing about these and all E Types- they're absolutely rubbish to drive and are such an anti climax. Also, when stopping for fuel or a kebab the world and his wife will want to talk to you with offers of "...if you're ever selling..." and hold you up.
I considered a V12 until I watched Adam on 'Living with a Classic'. He advised that if you're going to change (just) the spark plugs you should allow 6-8 hours. 😧 Plumbers' nightmare indeed!
We dread to think of the labour costs...
Need front head light. Glasscober. Right side. I want to Buy it buy it
Actually the spark plugs on the E-Type V12 are more accessible than on the later HE V12 as in the XJ12 which are indeed laborious to change.
not true Max 1 hour for spark plugs
@@kimthide Pre HE or HE?
Very informative thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
@@ClassicsWorldUK 1997. Jaguar Xk8. Need to buy front right night light headli
At 6'3" this is my only option. But I like these with the V12. It's so much more fun replacing 12 spark plugs and wires than 8 !!
Better have deep pockets there!
Good roundup of the S3. Marvelous drive when all is sorted - dreadful if not! Very true!
I spend a 100k € to drive a 70k € car…..
All US spec manual cars have the short 3.54 diff. Swap it with the 2.88 if you can - it makes a huge difference and suites the V12 so well! ✌️👍
Agreed - the difference between a good and bad E-Type is night and day!
Great video and well presented, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much!
I couldnt afford any E type but am lucky enough to have actually driven two.A 5.3 V12 and 3.6 sraight six.My pick if I could own one would be the straight six.On carbs sound and feel far more exciting on the over run.Yes the V12 Lucas ignition was absolutley terrible.
what a beautiful car
Aalways liked the V12's.
Nice car good video 🚘🚙🚗👏👏👏👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🤔 Really, maybe next time you might even bother to watch the video. Your comment ?. Is exactly the same on every single video. Are you a BOT ?...........
@@alancrisp1582I can vouch for Jimmy, he's definitely not a BOT! 😆 Bit of a leg-end actually, a massive supporter of Classics World, and many other fine channels. ATB, Ben 🖖
The best thing about the V12 E Type is having the straight 6
You've effectively got two straight-sixes!
Purchase prices?
Would rather have the straight 6, the V12 is like having two engines.
How times have changed, those switches on the dashboard make it look almost kit car spec. Lovely but even if you are handy with a spanner (I'm not), you need a fortune to keep one as it should be. I'll pass on this one...I saw a smashing Mk 1 Fiesta on Twitter today though!
Oh... 🥵 uhm, can I have the XK8 instead please?
Certainly, check out our buying guide!
@@ClassicsWorldUK Thank you - but I'm afraid the buying guide comes too late since I've already bought my XK8 three years ago - and I love it! 😀 But the green one in the video looks really nice 😍
It certainly does, great choice!
