Pimp you ride with a sound system, try the new kicker 12 inch sub with 12 in radiator ? zebra skin trim n covers, oldskool Alpine head unit etc :)
I hope you did an oil change before the dyno. Just in case :)
Nice to see the S2000! I was wondering what was happening with her!!
In America jag just means falls apart quickly Nd junk
you need to do the drag race with phill. jag v jag v jag powered mx5
I have to say, this channel is easily one of my fav cars channel on youtube. I was skeptical on how alex would do on a separate channel but boy has he delivered and even surpassed other channels in my list.
Very true, it's clear why Car Throttle was/is so good...
@@TheMainCore the car throttle channels a bit lack luster for me now, the 3 of them worked well together. It was like top gear when May, Hammond and Clarkson left juatvwasnt the same
Yep same, always worried when I see great presenters go off on their on adventures but I’m glad he’s doing so well! Every episode has been gold.
He's amazing. This channel will be as big as his forehead soon.
(no hate I also have big one)
Ngl so much beter
Man im loving the taylor and alex duo just pure gold, And the video production has gone up significantly I absolutely love it keep it up alex!
It’s absolutely amazing!
Absolutely love the fact that it just works so well♥️🫶🏽
Same love the banter and vibes
Mate the duo is top tier. The vibe Taylor has brought is great hope he never leaves loool. Keep it up Alex bangin videos every time.
Way better than the car throttle videos Alex made those worth watching
Captured my thoughts exactly mate :)
Alex! Do hope you read this.
These early X300 XJRs are absolutely superb and a personal dream car. I’d like to point out that the specification of this car is NOT common. The interior came as standard with a black / dark grey upper contrast on the door cards, dash & centre console. As far as I’m aware, not many were optioned as yours is. Additionally, the ‘XJR Supercharged’ text on the veneer was DEFINITELY not standard and an extra I’ve never seen. Safe to say this car is special, increasingly with the HK sound & the wood / leather wheel.
Please do take care of it (as I’m sure you will) there are virtually none of these early S/C 6 cars left.
Love your work, been watching your work here & at CT for the best part of 8 years, Thanks!
Great info, thanks man!
I really hope that they don't ruin this one, it looks like a real gem of a Jag. An enthusiast would probably buy it now for more than Alex paid for it
It's specced more like a US XJR with the walnut trim option, wood etd. You are right about the XJR Supercharged script. Must've been a special order. Usually these Sport interiors are shot by 80,000 miles so I wonder if it had a switch out at some point. Carnival Red is a fantastic colour for it. Easily worth 6-7k in the classic classifieds. More if it had sub 80k mileage. GReat car though and hopingit doesn't get ruined. I've got the XJ12 of that era.
I don't want to be a party ruiner, but this branch of comments reveals more and more bets on... how you lot say, "yanked from the Nicks". Or a Japan job, if the steering wasn't thrown over.
O'pard'n, i meant "nicked from the Yanks".
I'm amazed how cheap this was for the condition and even the full tool box... The wheels, suspension and tyres would be close to 2k maybe 3k alone
12:08 that toolbox alone makes the whole car amazing 👏 😍
that og toolbox prob is worth more than a 10th of what alex paid.
Alex has finally bought a really nice car for once. These are such pure quality
Alex and taylor the duo we never knew we needed .
Your Jag may have won today's battle, but the proper war is yet to come 😉 Loving that the internet will soon be flooded with cool, sorted Jaaaags!
We challenge you to a duel (just give us a couple weeks pls)!
I love this rivalry. Good fun guys and what a solid buy Alex. That is a lovely old lady who while appearing sedate and stately will jump you in a dark alley and steal your pocket money! Now, just get her on a diet and shed a thousand pounds and put in a manual transmission.
That's shocking it's still got 309hp
Looks like you finally bought a gem Alex 🤣
Loving the cheaper car content it's just more relatable.
And comedy gold from Taylor and Alex is awesome
yeah, esp compared to the XKR at the wheels horsepower; I figure the transmission used on the older straight six (I assume a 4 speed?) was actually a lot less lossy than the mercedes 5 speed on the x100 xkr.
Loving all the 'cheap' car videos at the moment, they were my favourite top gear bits, and my favourite car throttle videos, keep it up!
Car Throttle has been quiet recently, but I’m definitely enjoying Alex’s new venture
Car throttles in the bin I think Alex made those with his character and the boss of car throttle wasn’t having it that’s why they toned him down in those but he can’t be tamed so made his own channel which will take over that crap in time 🎉
@@Ehhhhhhhhhahahahah nah it’s all about money
He will make much more money with it been his own channel
Can’t blame him either
is taylor homo·sex·ual now.
So who owned car throttle? Thought that was Alex channel
Not sure who owns it, but I know it's not Alex...
The chemistry between you too is on point, was gutted when you said you were stepping away from car throttle but dam was it worth it.
I like how Taylor got roped in one episode and now he is here for good. That short guy is alright too🤣🤣 Joking aside, well done boys. Your production is boomin
This Taylor guy is great, really fits the channel. Way to go people!
Taylor, Alex and Rory are my favorite set of triplets! I love, love, love the dynamic, and I hope it continues for ages! :)
Tayler has been an amazing addition to the team. He's easily one of the best new cast members in your CZcams career. His personality and professional expertise is a huge win. We might have another Mighty Car Mods on our hands! Moog is the bigger personality while Marty is the more mechanically knowledgeable but they're both bringing amazing chemistry and fun to their show!
Taylor being in the videos is just the cherry on top, quality guy. Hope he can stick around
No way that’s my dads old xjr I grew up with that car 😂 be good to see in the channel
Whaaaaat?! That's amazing!
I'm really loving this new channel Alex. I'm glad things have been going real well for it.
Loving the channel Alex and Taylor. My Dad used to have a XJR6 in navy with cream leather. Wasnt the biggest fan at first but my option changed when he took me on our first road trip from the Scottish Borders to the Glen's of Antrim. Travelling in absolute comfort, whisking the miles away but best of all, the old man flicking the switch to sports mode and over taking everything in its path. Thirsty old brut but definitely worth the smiles per gallon. Seeing the bonnet lift up when accelerating, hearing the whine of that supercharger and me grinning at every car we over took. I wished my dad kept it but unfortunate circumstances he had to let it go. Hope yous have as much fun as I have great memories of the XJR6. Real villains cars but that's why I love it!
Every morning I get a spare 20 minuets before I take my girls to school to watch Auto Alex , followed you over from CT , and it’s very quickly becoming the go to for my morning routine 😂
Keep it up guys , love the chemistry between you all , and the cars ! XJ are personal favourites of mine! ❤
i really want an auctioneer or someone selling to you to be the one to say “hold out your hand” 😂
Or "old out yerrand..."
Alex and Taylor are turning into a legend duo. The next Mike & Ed (and perhaps more). Love you guys. Keep these coming-super fun and interesting.
What a result on the dyno 👏👏👏 what a car. Always a pleasure to see any car, but especially an old car, that’s been so well looked after and cherished 👌
I love the idea of going to one of these auctions, looks a lot of fun!
Annoyingly most of them require you to be a motor trader
It also looks like a great way to accidentally spend too much money 😂
You should have bought an xjr instead of the s type
I love how entertaining Alex is he's got the voice of a narrator
Love the chemistry of you guys, bringing Taylor in was a great choice and his knowledge and level of understanding of cars is phenomenal , when your both under any car and he starts going off, legendary CZcams content.
We might have another Mighty Car Mods on our hands! Moog is the bigger personality while Marty is the more mechanically knowledgeable but they're both bringing amazing chemistry and fun to their show!
I love watching these videos, highlight of my week, thanks for making such great content
Loving the release schedule your doing great things
The bond between you and Taylor is awesome makes for a really entertaining watch whatever you two are up too. Loving all the videos Alex keep it up!
Starting to really look forward to these uploads! Loveing the content guys 👌!
absolutely superb content! keep it coming boyssss
Favourite time of the week Alex - keep up the sick content 🙌🏼
The XJ has got to be one of my favourite cars you have had on your channel so far. Im a big fan of that particular generation of jag.
My grandad has owned the 3.2 v6 xj executive since brand new in 1997. I hope to own the car myself one day as i can just spend loads of time staring at it every time i visit.
Anyway, keep up the great content. Love the videos
Your channel and everyone involve has instantly became a favourite as soon as you went on your own.
Absolutely loving the content.
Best couple on CZcams, hope the duo continues xx
The phone footage is actually not half bad 😂
This was definitely someone's pride and joy. The personalised plate is a nice touch 👌🏻 please look after it 😀
"Please don't drink or put in your eyes. Even if you own a Pontiac Aztek." 🤣
Love your videos, and you've got yourselves a really cool XJR!!
For the love of all things holy ,Alex please look after this car .its absolutely fantastic and deserves to be cherished. I'm a huge Jaguar fan and this car is simply beautiful and proves old Jaguar's can be reliable 🇬🇧👍
Absolutely love the colour combo 😍
Need to see a full service vid with a smaller pulley and a detail. Congratulations on your new purchase Alex 👍🏻 Also, that reg alone has got to be worth 2 grand
Honestly best channel on CZcams, he keeps it real, relateble to everyone, I reckon hes gonna end up with a huge car collection in a barn 🤣
Alex is going to be the British version of Hoovies Garage if he keeps it that way. And im definitely all for it because im dying to see what type of differences there are when it comes to cars which are sold in the US and in the UK. Apart from rare models, the differences between prices will be quite interesting to see.
The best car you've ever bought! Once you understand Jag life, there is no substitute! Thermostat problems on the XJ are fairly common so that'd be the first thing I'd check if the temp is in the red. I'm amazed the exhaust hasn't rotten, but even so a stainless unit with a resonator delete should make some mean noises with a smaller pulley! I'm guessing someone has put waxoyl on it at some point underneath because they rot around the sills, wheel arches and under the boot lining so keep an eye on those spots.
By far the best on CZcams at the moment Alex! You and Taylor are hilarious! Keep up with these class videos! Would love to see more road trips! Maybe something like Taylor mentioned a wee Sweden trip or a Scandinavia road trip?
The excitement I got seeing there was a new Auto-Alex video...I think this could be my new favourite channel
Would love to see Alex doing banger racing 😂
I can’t believe the prices you can get cars for at auction. That 5 series you bought last time must have been worth at least £2500
Because of the risk involved as you never know what it’s actually going to be like
@@danielhendry8376 It goes deeper than that. Usually, auctions are stuffing the crowds with shady history cars, since everyone likes to flash some cash and have a ball for a tanner. Of course, documentation would be all original (after all, gentlemen trust each other, at the illegal poker table), but if one decides* to doublecheck his bargain - there prone to be some lost tracks.
*The road, i woun't recommend to cross, since you never know, which lorry can suddenly lose it's brakes.
yet another awesome video with Alex and Taylor. You guys rock!
Simply the best bunch of people on CZcams, each and every video brings great entertainment, don't ever change guys.
I agree with others here, the duo of Alex and Taylor is pretty good. A challenge against the Drivetribe guys sounds interesting..
Please do a top gear style cheap car challenge with Taylor , Ethan and jack ! Maybe pair up and do a cheap race somewhere ?
Hi Alex great show! I've been the proud owner of one of the non-supercharged versions for about 16 years now, it's interesting they appeared to have bottomed out and are on the rise as the X300 was only available for 3 or so years and is proving exceptionally reliable. When it comes to heat, it was a coolant sensor on mine about a $30 AUD part so nothing really, it has a different sensor for the gauge, which is nearly adjacent to it and also cheap to change. We swapped my radiator for a double fan one and the car runs cold most of the time now with no dramas at all. If you are keen to tune it there are verified stories of over 570 bhp and 700 nm coming out the engine, there is also a cheap easy very quick upgrade originally designed by the man who helped create the motor which really helps the car come alive. In Australia the rust issue is non-existent so the only issue we have is the fact that Jaguar clearly saved money on the wiring, its not insulated anywhere near as well as it should be, I've slowly started replacing it and the car feels better than it ever did. Enjoy mate! Here is a stripped tuned version for a bit of fun: czcams.com/video/a-tMlGVId1A/video.html
When you left to do your own thing I was worried but you and Taylor are absolute gems and so is that Jag keep it up lads 👊👊
Alex you're smashing it on your own, you don't need Car Throttle 👏👏
Car Throttle need 's him
@@098hrc 100%. The best car CZcamsr that will end be, end of.
I went to a car auction with my two young sons. People were bidding on a car that came through the doors. My son asked me where the loos were so I pointed at the bogs and put a £2500 bid on a Citroen picasso. I promptly waved like mad at the auctioneer who then stopped the auction and put the bid back to the previous winner. Close call! 🙈
We were only after a small £100 car to use around a field! 😂
I live for these auction videos, we need one like the good old days where you get the cheapest you can and race each other home/ do challenges xD
Loving the videos and how they are just so natural and don't seem scripted, could you do some videos on Taylors purchases would love to see that 😂
And XJR with a limited-slip diff? 4k quid is surely a bargain, man! Another Alex car to follow for sure. Great video, once again 😊
Number plate on it alone probably worth some!
LSD is standard on the XJR6. Came standard as a manual too, you had to option the auto box. Great cars.
Interesting that the burnout seemed to result in a one-wheel peel though?
Im not sure but I think Taylor was impressed by the 4 matching tyres
No way. What makes you say that.
Fantastic stuff as ever chaps. Great to see the XJR6 getting some love too, you can really make those superchargers sing.
I love how you and Taylor get along. What a brilliant friendship to have with a like minded car enthusiast. Highly enjoyable video and the cars weren't bad either 😉
Id love to see you guys do a challenge on "a brand you've never owned before"
Ooh that's a good one
Would still love to hear the real story from the DriveTribe Mondeo ST220. They seemed to do Mad Ford Engineering a bit dirty.
Love this, you and Taylor are always so fun to watch :)
Excellent tie-in with Mike. Looking forward to a series of tests to see who has the better car. Be sure to include the "bodies in the boot" test, befitting of a Jag.
One minute in and they've already bought another BMW!😂
Cost of living crisis and Alex and Taylor are buying cars like they’re going out of fashion, love it 😂
Great buy. I´ve had one as a daily driver for 5 years now. With propper maintainance and care it´s been super reliable and endless joy to drive.
Btw. Few minor and simple upgrades to get some more fun out of it. Andy bracket for the crank sensor. Larger volume coolant pump for the intercooler, and larger supercharger belt pulley on the crankshaft.
This is my favourite channel, I’m not a car guy but it’s still interesting and the chemistry is great!
Happy thanksgiving from your fan from the states, thankful for awesome car content and an awesome community
Never a dull moment with Alex and Taylor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love these auction vids
Awesome video! I've bought 3 auction vehicles and they were all great. Well one was a shit box but fixable.
The first was the best. 200k miles on it, but like your Jag, zero rust, brand new Michelin tires all round, fantastic interior, paid $2800 plus fees.
Did wiring, fab, and decals to make it a Ghostbusters car and it helped me raise thousands for charity.
I love this trio, especially how much Rory gets to be in the videos.
You guys make a brilliant duo keep the content coming.
alex and taylor are the best duo look forward to every video
After Taylor’s inspection and seeing how water beads up on this thing 19:23 someone absolutely took care of it
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this. My father had 3 of them in the same colour
loving this content so much
That is brilliant Alex! Big well done on lavely new purchase!
Brilliant video as always keep up the good work 👍
That XJR is just beautiful. Lovely condition and colour. Although it shows that it is a 90s luxobarge, it's just really lovely and a perfect easy going car to cruise around in.
Love the collaboration, excellent job to match the channels
Love the content Alex and Taylor! Keep it up!
Love these old cars, and the last £3k one to Blackpool the MPG race was really funny! Hope you notice this! Love you guys.
So good to see a car channel that isn’t just a cheap advert for a manufacturer or product supplier again!
Taylor and Alex pairing is pure fire 🔥 🔥
Great video as always Alex! Please on this channel at some point can you do a list of all the cars you've owned and what you've thought of them? I think that would be really interesting for a lot of people :)
I had a manual one of these Jags - was an absolute weapon with nearly 400lb/ft of torque
I think you did well, seems like a good buy. I'd drive that XJ-R. Be keen to see what a pully swap, an exhaust and a little more timing would do to it. (Provided the intake temps can be kept under control)
I do like the Z3 as well. Gorgeous little thing.
love watching taylor and alex,like the new duo..keep up the videos and great work,love the channel x
Love the red punto in the back ground .
Another great video !!
Couldn’t be more jealous of your purchase Alex…. One of my dream cars! It’s in absolutely beautiful condition too!!
Keep pushing to 500k sub, Alex! You bloody got this, mate! With this good level of UK automotive culture content!
Great work, you are killing it!
I love the X300 and especially the X306 in this video! I think Im really going to enjoy this series!
20:30 I love your enthusiasm, keep it up with the collection,
Taylor does need an „it’s nice.“ shirt as soon as possible. 😄🫡
Love this! ❤❤❤ Can’t wait for the tie in with Mike at Drivetribe 🙏🏼
