The Jaguar E-Type is probably one of the most iconic cars ever made. I have always wanted to get behind the wheel of one however, and today amazingly I had the opportunity to do that! I surprised my Dad with the car too, as for him it's his all time dream car...

Hi Joel your dad's face said it without words wow . When you put the foot down that sweet sound was awesome and brought back many memories gone by but you can never tire of that sound

Love the bits where you rev it out and get your dad's reaction. I drove one a while back on a driving day thing and was blown away by it - I was scared of meeting and driving a hero, but what a machine! The race breeding really shows through in the drivetrain, loved the ride/handling set up, the ambience in the cabin, could have driven it all day and had a smile on my face the entire time. So modern and archaic at the same time, designed with British roads in mind.

Lonely video. My dad has been a life long fan of the E Type and I rented one many years ago as a present for his sixtieth birthday. Also, good to see you back regularly - hope your mental health is ok

Man, I haven't been to your channel in about a year but I'm liking what I see. Congrats on the marriage. Cool to hear your thoughts on an ugly and over appreciated car like the E-type. I grew up when these were just a pretty old car and the hardtops could be had for nothing.

Proper grail car, love the video. I'm 60 and remember seeing them out and about with my Dad and saying how fantastic they looked. Legend says they were responsible for the 70 mph limit being imposed on the then new motorways. Thanks Joel.

Better than I thought, to be honest. The sort of car I would like to drive for a day, but the antiquated driving , lack of brakes etc would soon tire for me.

Good to hear some honest talk about the driving dynamics. So many people idolise these cars. But, before committing to a financial outlay of this size, you need to know it's really gonna do what you want.

I drove a DB6 and the biggest shock was the brakes. Nothing happens unless you really give some welly even then they were poor. It's very unnerving but what an experience

It's a series II. The earlier series had a 3.8 engine and never came as a 2+2.

Depends what 'best' means. Best at carrying a load? No. Best fuel efficiency? No. Best in terms of price? No. Best at towing? No.

Much prefer pulling thru rev range in a more leisurely rate and savouring the different engine characteristics with a 4 speed + overdrive type car than ludicrous modern propensity of continually adding more gears and weight + minimum 'change times' Cars such as this and the MGB, Stag etc are a delight to listen to - modern cars with 6-8 gears...really??!! Same with fitting lower and wider tyres - got so daft now, they even fit them to off roaders!! Then there is the ever increasing ride stiffness and lowering in ground clearance.... Dont start me on 'mine is faster than yours' mentality with the 'power struggle' - a 1000bhp / lb ft in road cars surrounded by millions of non motorsport vehicles with less than optimised drivers...... Car designs that ground to a halt as everyone trys to out brag each other with a lower CD - just look at how depressingly similar and unappealing car design has become 'Back in the day' we had Ford Anglias and Muiras ...at the same time.... Yesterdayyyy....seems so very .....
