- Special Thanks to The Bond Group for tossing the keys to this incredible Jaguar XKE Coupe. www.bondgroupusa.com
The Jag XKE Coupe was like the BMW Clownshoe many years before it existed. Big power, long hood, and a practical rear hatch made this the perfect grand tourer for someone who loves to drive as much as they appreciate style and aesthetic.

"It's a Jaaaaaag"- Jeremy Clarkson.
I robbed a bank... In ma jaaaggggg😏
@@erepsekahs You must’ve gotten offended by one of his jokes. You’re being the loser here lol
No shit...
@@erepsekahs met clarkson on a couple of times ,total prick knows fuck all about cars or anything else !!!!!!!!!!
@@Rick2010100 Mine always looked good being flat bedded away ....
"How fast am I going?"
Speedometer: "I dunno man, I'm old."
😂
Needs a new speedo cable for sure.
The speedo in my XJS is the exact same way lol 😂
Looks like highest redline of any XK-E tach... and GM Hydramatic TH400 tranny...
They all do that sir, adds more excitement :)
I should be in class rn but tedward is tedward, i gotta watch
Litterally didn't pay attention to zoom university because of Tedward 🤣
Tedward will teach you more than any class
Thank you for pronouncing JAGUAR correctly. Unusual in the States.
Shall we take the Jaaaaaag?
@@Rick2010100 but...but... it’s a jaaaaaaag
@@Rick2010100 I drove one for a spell when I lived in Las Vegas, but usually at night in the summers because of the overheating. The radiator was comically tiny.
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!
Every other CZcamsr: M4 Review
Tedward: Hold my V12.
😂 but actually
@@TedwardDrives okay, I’m waiting for your M4 review 😂
The E-Type is on everyone’s god car list.
Tbh not really mine
I'm not feeling it tbh, sure it's special but in the world of older V12 coupes there are cars that spark my interest alot more
@@codemy666 The V12 is a bit like marmite. The Straight 6 series 1/2 is unbelievable.
@@fjack7013 Not my thing, i'd still prefer the 2000GT over the straight 6 e types
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.
We have more or less the exact same car. 1971 but with a manual. I sometimes take it to 155+ mph on the motorway and push it hard along mountain routes. Love this car!
do you reckon you upload a video of you pushing 155 and some mountain runs in yours, Id love to see some high speed action in an e type 😆
Maybe i could this summer! I havent taken it out yet due to wintery conditions until last week but hey, cool idea! I love those cars...so nice to drive. Great ride, great engine and nimble handling
Beware the sun, Icarus. Speed like that in a 70s tin can is risky business.
dont need a ton of power when you have the drag coefficient of a wet tadpole
Man I got to say, out of all the car review channels, I always feel like a kid watching yours😂. It makes me so happy!
Thanks Luke!!
These engines deserve the manual gearbox - they are so much more rev happy / responsive. Sadly most are with the 3 speed auto.
I have never seen an Auto one in an E Type. Only the XJs usually are Autos.
@@TheNecromancer6666 nearly every v12 jag is an automatic
@@sebastianochs7714 In the US maybe. In Europe the E was only sold manual and the XJ12 is exclusively automatic.
So European E Types with Auto are US models reimports...
@@sebastianochs7714 my grandpa owns a v12 4spd, but sadly it’s sat since the 90s. Under a roof though so there’s still potential!!
@@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.
These cars have a refinement and personal feel to them unmatched by any modern car on the market today.
This car has some serious swagger
for real...and practical. I could fit my whole life and a dog in this car lol
Gotta love the roar of a V12!
I remember building a Revelle model of one of these back in the 70s
It's called a Jaguar 1971 you're you said the right word
This car is a legend!
Nice seeing you, and the Jaaaaaaag
Mmmm the Jaaaaaaaaag
Most charming blinker click award goes to this V12 Jag haha what a wonderful vehicle!
My favorite Jag design was their Mark 2 Saloon, classic.
My grandad has the E type coupe v12 in silver with the manual transmission i believe, amazing car
I’d love to drive a manual. The auto really shifts early even with lottttts of throttle haha
@@TedwardDrives yeah its amazing lol, its currently getting work done on the interior and swapping out the original drum brakes as they have outlived the car :)
I miss my E-Type :p Beautiful sound!
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
Sometimes i get upset ill probably never get to drive such a masterpiece.
But i can enjoy you driving it
Thanks!
Due to watching an E-Type Jag vid, many have popped up in my CZcams algorithm. However this is easily the best I have seen so far, at showing what it's like driving an original E-Type.
My cousin bought a '70 Series 2 Coupe new, then added a '71 Series 3 Roadster the next year to his stable. Both 4 speeds. He drove those E-types flat out most of the time. Fun times.
My 1974 Triumph Spitfire had the same exterior paint color and interior color. She was a beauty.
She was a super car in 1971 and still is!
When it just has the engine noise the autocaptions just say “music”- and it’s not wrong.
That's a nice Jag-war. The shape and pushed back cabin reminds me of the Ferrari FF
it's Jag-waah...
@@duncan1234 you’re right, I forgot about the Boston accent
That back seat is so trick, never seen it demonstrated before!
Why are classic cars soooo much more beautiful than actual cars...?
these were the times when each manufacturer had a real identity and made cars like they wanted to.
This 1000%, it can’t be understated. All the makes not only looked different, they smelled differently, and certainly drove differently. Nothing like today.
That is one of the smoothest engines I think I've ever heard. Beautiful!
I have so little exposure to these kinds of cars, love seeing them even though I don’t know a whole lot about them! What a good day for a drive and it’s hilarious you ran into Will haha
Now THIS is an interesting car.
I won't lie, i kinda hoped that tom would floor it but i understand that the car is way to valuable for that, i just wanted to hear that beautiful v12
For me the E-Type is the icon of the icons (greetings from Germany)
That cabin is stunning!!!
What an absolute beauty! Thanks for another great video :D
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.
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.
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.
What a amazing classic and that v12 is the cherry on TOP
We have a duty as humanity to preserve these cars forever.
My friends dad owned one (he sold it 3 years ago) E-type V12 but with manual gearbox! It was tuned and was straight piped and with plenty of performance parts... It sounded so f**ing great and drove so well! So much fun to drive it! But the nose that V12 can produce with a straight piped exhaust (incl manifolds) is just magic!
That is beautiful. I love the steering wheel and the clean trunk.
This is incredible!! What a great review and showcase. Have come across your channel in the last 2 weeks, and I definitely appreciate the CZcams algorithm. You have an awesome personality and these videos are fun and informative. Keep is going!!
Huge thanks for this!!
What a beautiful noise.
My dream car!
Perfect time for the E-Type's 60th Birthday on March 15th this year!
That thing is so immensely cool!
Very nicely presented! I really enjoyed that walk-around!
Doors sound great. Engine amazing.
It’s a superb example. Indeed a Jaaaag....the favourite getaway cars of the genteel rogues....
Mmmm a little tedward with my coffee in the morning, what a day maker! Couldn't imagine a world without you man ❤
Dude - driving that thing is like being the Captain of the USS Nimitz looking out on the flight deck. Magnificent in ALL aspects.
It's not a Series 1, but close enough to my dream car. You always manage to show the best cars, man!
Love your happy enthusiasm!
This. This is my dream car. My goal in life is to own one of these. This is my purpose.
That's the one !
Dropped off to school in one of these beasts 😉😉
I love these Jaguars. Specifically the coupes like this. Very funky looking but I like it.
another day another amazing video from Tedward :) Keep it my my friend :) :)
Americans don't realise how lucky they are almost all these cars went straight from Coventry to the states in LHD!
the guy that disliked dude what are you doing......?
The videos always brighten the mood keep up the good work 😊☺
Lol thanks Justin. Can’t please everyone!
My Dad is 78 this year and still has his 73 V12 convertible in British racing green he brought from new , last time i checked he only had 34 thousand miles on it! plus all the typical Jag issues are fully sorted!
Beautiful car,love your enthusiasm on the road test.
Simply amazing. Excellent condition too!
Really enjoyed your vid. thanks for uploading.
Teddy and the Jaaaaaaaaaaaag just what I needed for this Wednesday
Great vid! More classics please!
What a cool car. It’s so beautiful!
This is so antique and so cool at the same time
Omg, this is why I love cars, especially older cars (I really have hard times with today fridges with wheels.. but I digress). I also have inboard brakes on my new Alfasud Sprint, but at the front ahah. That creamy v12, mmm, thanks Tedward !
I like that the hood catch sounds like a bolt on a fine old rifle
I prefer the convertible, awesome
My goal is to own a Jaguar svr, or the normal F Type Coupé , it's really interesting to see how it all started! Great video 👍🏻
It is the ultimate Jag to own, and it is a lovely car to drive!!
Loving the lockdown hair Ted
I watch both for the amazing cars and where you film. I live in the area, and went to Bentley, so the start of this video hit home! Each video is like a puzzle to see if I can figure out where you filmed. Keep up the good work!
Okay but those are some of the best manual window I've ever seen tho
Great video and such an amazing car. Ding dong!
What a great sound
Having grown up in the 70’s I don’t think UK roads at that time were bad at all. Motorways arrived in the 1950’s. My dad worked for Jaguar for 40 years at Browns Lane factory in Coventry. He was a technical author, he wrote the car instruction manuals :).
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.
Awesome sounding! I would love to get one haha
Beautiful artwork, body lines remind Alfa Romeo Disco Volante a bit. Perfect POV as usual :)
Just brilliant gran turismo! More classic cars please!
That little shifter got a lot of use, my room mate had a 1992 Jaguar with the exact same one.
Brilliant Video All The Best Health.
Fantastic car!
Jeremy will love this so do i
just what i needed on a subpar wednesday
The most beautiful cars in the world .....ever
Fantastic car 😍
Go look at ‘The racers who stopped the World’ video about Jaguar’s pioneering work with disc brakes. This company just nailed performance, beauty, ride and handling back in the day. And a tiny company too. One day I hope to own a proper Jaaag but until then, I’ll sit back and revel in this video. Great sound btw!
but still.. a straight six series 1 .. the dream
For real. Those engines are gorgeous but $$$$$
@@TedwardDrives the one shot is by off chance finding a challenger replica, they’re exact S1 replicas and built with xke drivetrains and motors in the 90s, less than 200 made i believe, they sell every now and then for like 50 or 60k and look feel and drive like concourse s1s
Beautiful car! 🤩 And Harold and Maude is also one of my all time favourites too, such an amazing movie. In fact I always dreamt about making a conversion like Harold's, inevitably not the right thing to do... so got my hands on an MG BGT and one of the last of the Scimitar's instead. Those were a magnificent car if you could get the electronics right.
Lucas, the prince of darkness, was there to keep us humbled.
7:57 you read my mind...such a weird thing when that happens!
At the exact moment you mentioned vintage racing, I was literally about to write a comment about how these cars are the best to watch, and suggest everyone go see some of the Goodwood racing (particularly the battle between an E-Type and an AC Cobra). Car enthusiasts think alike haha
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.
Are you sure? Surely the oil pump runs from the engine and the petrol pump will stop when you turn off at the key.
@@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.
"It's so luxurious" - said right after hand cranking drivers side window up! Lol.
Series 3 was available in a Six Cylinder too. Extremely rare but they definately did make them.
