An English guest comes over and Jay says 'Does the boot open as well? ' In my opinion Jay has one of the most respectful personalities between the celebrities of today. Lots to learn from him

A detective from Scotland Yard, who builds E-Types. Classic.

The E-Type Jag is to automobiles, what the Supermarine Spitfire is to aircraft. Both classic English designs. Just beautiful!

My Dad brought a 36K mile 1963 E Type OTS home one evening in 1969. He paid $2400 for it. As a 14 year old junior gearhead I was over the moon and spent countless hours sitting in that car in our long driveway staring out over that incredible hood. At 16 I received permission to occasionally drive it with parental supervision. At 17 I was taking it out on Saturday nights and racing everybody in town. While not the quickest in the quarter mile, only the big block Corvette was as fast top speed. Many wonderful muscle cars could run in the 13’s but most topped out between 115-130 depending on gearing. Aero drag limited the high speed. Our Jag would do 115 in 3rd and once in 4th would just walk away on up to 150 without modification. Malcom Sayer was the aerodynamicist who designed the shape of the E Type with the aid of a wind tunnel. A former WW2 aircraft designer, he also helped design the winning C and World beating D types. The C2 Corvettes suffered from poor aero design and instability at speed. I have driven that 1963 E Type at 130 mph in a driving NW winter rainstorm. The brakes, 4 wheel Dunlop discs, were not quite up to the task, though better than the American muscle cars at speed. The Jag 4 wheel independent suspension worked very well, and full on powerslides were easily controllable unless it was wet. A snap spin at speed in an E Type is something you will never forget. As Jay mentioned, the rack and pinion steering gave remarkable feedback but transmitted a lot of niggling vibration and was not power assisted. Designed for bias ply tires, replacing them with radials resulted in more steering effort, especially at slow speed. All was forgiven above 40 mph. High speed stability was unmatched by any contemporary car that I have driven. We owned this car for 45 years. It was a daily driver for 7. The positraction rear end made it extremely slippery in the snow. I really loved the early non syncro first gear Moss gearbox. While the gear change couldn’t be rushed in a drag race, it felt extremely solid, had short throws, was quiet, and was a joy to operate. I was quickly able to master flawless double clutch downshifts into first while moving without grinding or damage, but this was rarely needed because of the huge low end torque. One just learned to roll the stop signs in second in town. We also had a 1969 E Type with the new Jaguar built full syncro gearbox as in the featured car. This was a popular upgrade back in the day but I didn’t feel it necessary for the 1963 car. I sold the Jag a few year ago and feel very blessed to not only have had it a big part of my life for decades, but a strong physical reminder of my Father, as it was his car. I never wrecked it, and mechanical repairs were limited to brakes, tires, exhaust system, one clutch, and tuneups. The triple SU carbs only gave trouble if you let the car sit for a year or more with ethanol gas. The new owner is performing a complete restoration and I hope he finds as much joy as we have with that remarkable car.

This car is absolutely beautiful. The gentleman who restored it seems to really know his stuff.

You know a man lives and breathes Jags when his voice sounds the same as the engine note. Amazing work Dan and his team!

'Any air conditioning ? No. just a window'. Brilliant ! The guest on this video is really good.

One of the most beautiful objects ever made.

The combined knowledge of these two men, mind blowing

1. What a noise! 2. This guy knows his stuff.

I'll never forget the first time I drove an E-type. I was 18 and my first car after HS was a '63 Austin Healey 3000. The parts manager at the MG dealer where I bought it loaned me his '61 E-type when my car was in for service one day. I fell in love immediately! When he decided to sell it (because his dress shoes wouldn't fit under the dash!) he refused to sell it to me because I coudn't afford to maintain it properly.

That is a perfectly built Jaguar, wouldn't change a thing.

This is spectacular. I'm happy and proud to say Classic Jaguar is one of my customers and all the techs there are terrific. Dan runs a top-notch operation and it shows in their projects. The most laid-back, easy-going guys there produce these works of art, and I'm very glad to service their tool needs.

Absolutely awesome Jaguar E-Type. Love the body style an the sound that comes from it is epic.

I love this guy "three and a half tenths". Just an AWESOME vehicle!

In my humble opinion, this is simply the most beautiful car ever built. I've felt that way for 50 yrs.

I'd have to say, out of all the Jags on this show, this is my favorite. Hands down.

I like the guy talking about the car, he seems to know very much.

I’ve always loved the e-type since I was a child. The car was born the same year I was and my father had a series 3 V12 when I was 16 for a few years. It’s my ambition to own a ‘61 series 1 fully restored when I retire. Utterly beautiful machines and this guy’s knowledge is encyclopaedic!

the Scotland Yard's Detective technical slang is incredible-and Jay understands, what he is talking about. Incredible.

Jay asks, “Do any of your customers give you a hard time? Are they flakes? Answer: “No, I tell them up front that it’s $500k and they all pay and become my friends.” Hilarious!

I once got to ride in a Jag E- type convertible as a teen in Michigan. Its a experience I'll never forget as long as I live. Thanks.

This thing is absolutely fantastic. The body style has never been bettered in an English car, just lovely.

Nice to hear someone talking who understands engines, and power output. Most folk only labour the horse power, whereas this chap talked about torque as well. To quote the legendary UK engine builder Mike Broad - "Horse Power sells cars, but Torque wins racers"

Jaguar E Type (XKE), Supermarine Spitfire, Concord, Purdey shotguns. Beautiful objects from Britain.

I'm from Austin and these guys at Classic Jaguar have been cranking out stunning cars for years. Their blog is brilliant, too.

The thing I like the most out of Leno's Garage is the fact that all the right questions are asked and answered for the most part.

He did a remarkable job on the restoration. Flawless! The paint looks better than 99% of cars seen on KZfaq. I'd love to see it in person. And to hear that sweet exhaust note live. Edit: I guess for $450k you'd expect nothing but the finest in craftsmanship.

Incredible craftsmanship done in a very tasteful way to a car with a lot of history and respect. Love that it was built to drive.

What a knowledgeable and passionate builder/restorer his work is exceptional, you can see Jay is impressed because he gives him so much latitude to explain every detail! Great car !

This man knows his stuff but so does Jay he keeps surprising me with his depth of knowledge with all automobiles

Stunningly beautiful, and I can’t imagine how magnificent that automobile is to drive! Wow.

WOW! Beautiful work Dan. Absolutely gorgeous.

An E Type is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Made in the days when one man oversaw everything. Sir William Lyons. Sadly we will never see cars like this anymore. New cars may be faster, safer, greener. But they no longer have a soul.

19:05 I loved seeing the engine actually move while breathing l Great show! The car's beauty and wonderful notes on the road make up for the guest's flathead engine personality! :) Respect to him for retiring from Scotland Yard to work on his passion. This man's crew did a fantastic job on this car. It may be the best looking AND sounding car on the show I've seen so far. I'm a late fan to Jay's Garage. Jay's so informative and knowledgeable. He gives some of his guests helpful info on their restos that is neat to see on the spot. Thank you Jay again!

Jay is such a great interviewer. Loved him on the Tonight Show, and still love him on his garage KZfaq channel.

Jaguar E-Type - is the best Jaguar ever built.

That sound gives me goosebumps. I can only imagine how it sounds in real life.

A Jag E-Type is my bucket list car to own. Absolutely beautiful car.

1 hour and over 6300 views.If that's not love...Thank you,and your team,for such great videos.

Probably one of the most beautiful cars ever made, together with the Ferrari 275 and Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

I lost count of the number of times he said *... we've been very fortunate...". A priceless individual who Jay just seems to attract in spades. Another awesome inspiration.

Dan is a true artisan, I'm proud to have him as a fellow American. What a terrific success story. Thank you Jay

This was absolutely freakin' brilliant! Drop dead gorgeous car and I could listen to the proprietor of Classic Jaguar forever. A wealth of knowledge and know how not just on the marque but on cars in general. Excellent episode. Thanks.

Beautiful. Car is a work of art. My dream garage would have a Dan Mooney E-Type and a Singer Porsche.

Mr. Leno, I wish you would do one about the 1984 VW GTI. Only 90 HP, but under 2000 pounds, it was an amazing car.This car offered something called the "Bentley Manual", which was an incredibly comprehensive repair manual the likes of which nobody had ever seen. It allowed anyone to work on this car in great detail and tune it to perfection. This was the ultimate entry level tuner vehicle for an entire generation, I am sure you are aware of it's legend. Luv U Jay. Dig your stuff, Please do the classic original GTI !

It's obvious Jay keeps his knowledge about cars up and his reputation and knowledge about cars is probably why he gets the guests and cars on his show that he has for a few years now

Such a beautiful car and that sound is amazing. Perfect 👌

Good lookin' car, doesn't get any more old school than that! You rarely see oldies like that one, in this day & age! Thanks for showing this, Jay!

I love this car it brings back good memories. When I was a young kid, there was a guy in my neighborhood who owned an E-type, but unfortunately he never drove it. He would start it up from time to time, and I loved the sound of the engine. I always imagined what it would be like to go for a ride in it. There was also a guy I knew at church who restored an E-type with his father and he brought it to church one time and it was painted in the same paint scheme as the one on this episode. I've always been fascinated by this car and it's nice to see them tastefully restored and preserved for everyone to enjoy.

This is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Incredible. Amazing job restoring it also it’s just perfect. What an amazing shape.

Wow that's one Lovely Jaguar boy does she Purr!!! what a Great Car and a Great Guest as well

Appreciate Liam Neeson bringing this fabulous specimen to Jay’s garage.

Wow. That was absolutely inspirational. Enjoying the rides every time!!! She's a beauty for sure.

It's hard to beat the perfect beauty of these E-Type Jaguars.

I like the way they're speaking each other's language - Jay says bumper and boot and Dan says aluminum.

Most beautiful car ever!..Gorgeous in that color! The builder's not having any of Jay's humor though! Oh wait, he was a detective...trained to detect B.S!

When I was a 6 yr old in 1963 I built my first model car and it was a the XKE by Revell. The lines of the E type still look beautiful, a true classic.

Nice to see Jay get to talk with car guy that's on his own level. GREAT STUFF!

Oh God! The sound!

It's a shame that Malcolm Sayer, the genius who designed it, never really got a lot of recognition for his masterpiece :(

Absolutely stunning. One of the most beautiful automobiles EVER...

I drove a racing e-type at Silverstone and it was waaay better than I thought ...really nice to drive and handled beautifully.

Extremely well done. Sounds fantastic 😎🏁🇬🇧

That! is one incredible car. Beautifully put together. Respect.

The amount of trust these car owners put in Jay is so very much well deserved, some of the best reviews ever imho, I especially like watching him drool over a car for 20 minutes, then, "Can we take it for a drive?", and he gets to drive, wheee! My favorites are the ones when the owner/passenger/why says "We race this, give it some gas man!" [sic] Go go Mr. Leno! My bucket list includes to smell the tan leather interior of a forest green, 2+2 E-type with the same drive train as this one, such a fabulous car, you are truly blessed to be able to drive so many beauty's around, and we are equally as blessed to be able to live these moments in a vicarious world. Thank you!

I remember my dad told me an E-Type is his favorite classic car and I've always wanted to give him one, hopefully I can one day. Such a unique-looking car.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.. I REALLY ENJOY THE CONVERSATIONS JAY HAS WITH PEOPLE ABOUT THESE CARS.. THIS IS MY FAVORITE KZfaq CHANNEL....

That Jag has a cool paint job and goes fast! Love those cars! That old car looks so cool, it sounds good witch means it has the power and beauty it had a long time ago! Love the car and the video like always!

I gotta say Jay. Thankyou so much firstly. Second, I have never seen a full episode of the late show bck when... but I seek out your car n bike stuff because your passion and enthusiasm are informed intelligent and infectious. May the road rise up to meet you and the sun shine on your back. 😊

I love how no matter what angle/vocals they choose, Jays team always syncs the sound of the car up to the video so we can hear what we see.

Thanks for the very informative video, Jay. Just love the cars 50's 60's to very early '70s. Like you said today's cars are all throw away items. Thanks much. ❤️️

The E-Type is the most beautiful car ever made!

One of my favorite cars growing up as a kid. This guy did a great restoration.

Usually I am not a huge fan of E Types, but this one is an absolute beauty! Also I like the guy that build it seeming to be veeeeeery competent when it comes to his Jaguar topic!

Thanks Jay, that was great!

What a beautiful car

I love these cars. Thanks for sharing these wonderful machines with the rest of us!

I love Jay's knowledge and enthusiasm for his cars and as a die hard Jaguar enthusiast am a great fan of his channel

Factory Flavor!! A New James Bond movie should feature this Gorgeous Ride! Cheers Dan on a Perfect E Type!

Just beautiful and beautifully crafted too. A very rich man's car tho' in that price range - oh well!

I don't care how many e-type videos Jay does, he can do as many has he likes all because of that straight six goodness. One of the best sounding engines of all time.

Everything looks so tiny and elegant, but powerful at the same time. Stunning!

Beautiful car, would prefer this without the white circle dots.

Finally a guy that knows how to pronounce Jaguar!

Absolutely stunning. Almost lost for words... john

Not only is that the most beautiful car I've ever seen, it may be the most beautiful anything I've ever seen.

Flying like an arrow and look like a shark. :D Thank You Jay! ;] Greetings from Coventry! :D

Love Jaguars

One of those cars that is indelibly engraved on my psyche . Truly amazingly and gorgeously executed .

Stunning car!! And the sound...so wonderful!

it always amazes me how small E-Types are....I expect it to be huge

Achingly beautiful.

Man I'd love to have that car. That is a beautiful design. This guy knows what he's doing.

This car is beautiful. The E-Type is the most beautiful car ever built, along maybe with an Apollo 3500 GT

I see why many consider these the most beautiful cars ever made. I think I agree

The builder also restomoded his hair...nicely done 👏

Impressive - Stand alone design / form And Dan, a no nonsense Shop owner with a story to tell and a capacity and mastery of details that matter

It does sound as an angry jaguar too. It's amazing to see a car that was literally break in two back to life and even better than when it left the factory. Beautiful job.

Nothing sounds like a Jag.
