Those first two minutes show exactly why you're the best automotive youtuber out there in my opinion. Amazing work as always!

That’s one of the greatest openings you’ve ever produced. Outstanding.

That opening cinematic was on par or better than anything the "traditional" motoring publications put out. Outstanding!

That was both emotional and a cinematic masterpiece!

Presenting, production, post production absolutely smashed out the park. The best 16 minutes of STG I have watched since the channel began 👏👌

The production quality, the script, the story. Everything about this video is amazing. Sam your videos just get better and better every time! Thank you for being an incredible KZfaqr and person!

Cinematography is conveying and influencing emotion… You nailed this one Sam! Felt like I was saying goodbye to an F-type myself 😂😂😂

Well Sam, I'm 2 minutes in and I can say you've definitively set a new standard for STG videos!

Wow what an opener to a video! The cinematography is absolutely stunning. Clearly sad to see the F type go but interest to see what replaces it. Keep up the excellent content.

Outstanding content Sam, Truly fabulous, thank you

0:35 seconds in and already it is the nicest cinematography I’ve seen today. Thanks Sam!

I've been watching since the 4c days and I can honestly say this is the most stunning and emotional piece of content I've seen on this channel. Great work and on to the next Jag adventure!

As this video is so special, I have to tell my (our) f type story in here: In 2016 my dad and I came across the manual f type. We’re both petrolheads and love car. He especially loves English cars and had quite a few (now) classic English cars. In April 2016 we went to the nearest jaguar dealer and asked if we could drive one. It was amazing. The sound, the quality, just the feeling of this car was amazing! My dad wasn’t comfortable to buy one at that time though so the only thing we took with that visit was the memory and some videos. Years go by and some time later my grand dad leased an f type SVR convertible. It was to this day one of the craziest cars he had (an he had quite a lot of cool cars: Maserati gran Tourismo, M6 V10, VW Phaeton W12, Bentley continental supersport, and so on). I drove it a few times (i was 17 at that time and was only allowed to drive it with my dad hahaha😂 The experience driving this car was out of this world. The sound was so obnoxious and loud it was not comprehensible… Then a year or so later, my dad and I found a British racing green f type coupe with beige interior AND the manual transmission, with just 2300km or so, basically brand new! Turned out to be a car used for the jaguar driving experience and was completely fu**ed. interior was in bad shape, already got new brakes, and it definitely didn’t feel like it was having anywhere near 380PS. Time then went by again and someday my dad, my little brother and me went to the jaguar dealer again just for fun to look and later go shopping in town. As we got there we were confronted with the salesperson saying: if you really want to order one with a manual, you have to do so until next week Tuesday. After that we have no possibility to order the pre facelift anymore (this was October 2019). On the one hand we went away gutted since buying a car this spontaneous was not in our mind AT ALL. We basically knew, this was it. The next days my dad was so unsure what he should do. He could afford it to get one but spending this much money on a car „just because a manual can’t be ordered anymore“ wasn’t feeling right for him. At first! Because after going back and forth like a million times , he pulled the trigger. This was absolutely crazy for us, especially me as well. Because I knew, this might be the last time in my life that I was able to experience buying a new car in that category. (Even though I wasn’t the one who pays) Fast forward about 3,5 months and we could collect the car of my dads dreams! A brand spanking new, custom specced British racing green manual f type with dark brown sport seats and everything important that an enthusiasts car has to bring. He enjoys it everytime he drives it, even though he only made about 10.000km in it. After speaking to the guys at the f type factory in castle Bromwich we found out, that our car was one of the last 3 manual f types EVER produced and THE actual last one with this spec. Approximately 1200 manual types were ever produced he told us. This car will never ever leave the garage and this year, we’re doing a roadtrip with it to the Goodwood festival of speed! I can’t wait for it!! So yeah, I can definitely share the absolute passion and specialness of the F Type and for me it will be the most timeless and beautiful looking car ever made! If you read until here, thanks 😊 and Incase you’re interested in seeing some pictures of the car, you can look up @brg_ftype on instagram. I’ve uploaded a few pictures there!

Perfection. I challenge any enthusiast to watch this and not get goosebumps. Absolutely outstanding cinematography. I'm about to start my F-Type journey after many years of yearning.

Fantastic video Sam. My F type purchase was 100% influenced by your content over the years. And whilst mine is just the V6, I love it and I’m super proud to drive it every day. I hope Jaguar continue to make exciting sports cars in the electric era. ❤️

That car is a work of art and to see it’s go is heartbreaking.Long live the F-Type Jag

Such a nice move from Christopher Nolan contributing to this homage video about the F Type. And we all know how busy he is with Oppenheimer.

What an absolutely fantastic video Sam, the videography was amazing, this had Top Gear (The Clarkson, Hammond & May era) written all over it, what a send off to a car you are so obviously passionate about. This type of video puts you head and shoulders above the best automotive KZfaqrs out there. All credit to you 👍🇬🇧

From the next level cinematic introduction, the subdued “Hello one and all” the story of your Journey with the brand and model to the heartfelt montage at the end… Absolute perfection Sam. Perfection.

An cinematic masterpiece. Beautiful camera work. We share the same emotional attachment to the F-Type. I first saw the launch video as a 29 year old up at the Gaydon Jaguar test track in 2013. I promised myself there and then, that one day, I would own one. I'm now 4 years into ownership of my F-Type and just paid her off in full last week. A life long keeper. Memories of driving to Le Mans 24 with my dad, twisting through the Scottish highlands with my wife, my two little girls asking if it's their turn it is to ride in daddy's car. Irreplaceable, priceless memories. As a lad who grew up on an East London council estate, kept my head down, worked hard and got lucky along the way, it's a dream I never dared to dream as a kid. Thank you Ian Callum. Thank you Jaguar.

Top Gear hasn't put out anything this good since Clarkson, Hammond and May. If you had a massive production budget I genuinely can't imagine how great your videos would be! I came across your channel all those years ago when an F Type went blarring past me, I got home, youtube searched it and came across your channel. I've been hooked since! Thanks Sam!

It’s such a shame, I adore the F-type! My friends dad took me out in a V8 R when they first launched(he was chief mechanic at one of the dealers) and I was obsessed instantly. So I started looking up videos of the car on KZfaq, which led me to your channel and I’ve been watching ever since. It’s such a special machine and I too hope to own one, one day. And I definitely want a quicksilver exhaust on it when I do 😉😅

This genuinely almost made me cry. Although I have never owned an F-Type, it is still a life goal to do so some day. You have been a massive part of that, as I’ve lived vicariously through your ownerships for years. Thank you for all the Jag content.

I have never seen a better love letter to a car, this video hits it out of the park and the emotion is palpable!

The opening 2 minutes - goosebumps. Epic! Very well composed!

That opening was absolutely incredible. I’m stunned at the shots you got, and what a heartfelt way to send off that car. Well done sir.

The intro 😮🔥

Holy shit that intro was somehow emotionally charged and a real fitting send off for the car It's really amazing that this was for a youtube video run by one man and not some massive production for a TV show

Seriously one of the best videos you’ve done Sir. The opening scenes, music and production was completely worthy of an award. If Jaguar wasn’t paying attention to your skill level of promotion then shame on them… You have serious talent Sam.

This video is a masterpiece Sam, the story the emotion, the cinematography, top work

This video is about the love of F-type and show how a machine related to us, it bring back the prue happiness... thank you for showing us and bring us with you in this journey Sam!!

This reminded me of Jeremy's Vantage drive. And that's high praise! Lovely work Sam.

Emotional tribute, coming straight from the heart. Love it Sam.

Beautiful intro - absolutely remarkable. Great work.

Sam the opening 2 minutes are genuinely next level in terms of videography and are definitely a testament to your love for the Jaguar F-Type V8

On these sorts of videos we often make a comparison to the similar style that Top Gear or The Grand Tour have done. With good reason; the epic cinematics, monologue and music are the only way to do these fantastic machines justice. They are/were a huge part in our lives and we should document them. This is the best way of doing that and to that I say well done Sam!

Sam this video is phenomenal. From the monologue, the emotion, the cinematic opening! A really heartfelt personal tribute to the F Type.

Fantastic opening footage looks epic!

Sam, thanks for this. Your „Living with a Jag F“ video has clearly put the F-Type R RWD on my radar and intoxicated me enough to buy one, three years old, low mileage, perfect depreciation price point. That’s the kind of effect your way of filming, editing and commenting has on people. Congratulations. I did not buy it as a financial investment of course, just purely for the passion but I do agree that one day especially the first RWD V8 Coupe will be considered the last true representative of the 60s design principles with the power and comfort of the 21st century. All the best for you!

STG's cinematography is one of the best of all automotive channels out there. Excellent work. What a gorgeous homage to the legendary F-Type!

Amazing video and cinematography Sam! I've been watching since the TTS days and agree, it was your V8 R that truly took this channel to new heights and very well deserved. Lets hope synthetic fuels take hold and Jaguar make a U-turn on their business model.

What an amazing video Sam, I’ve been around since the first ever video and can absolutely relate to your stories with the F-Type. That moment at around 8:10 ish literally gave me goosebumps 😭 For me, the equivalent is the Audi TT which has just recently gone out of production forever, too. It’s so sad, but so romantic at the same time when a car just changes your life and you get to enjoy every second of driving it. Of course it’s not the same as an F-Type, but for me it was always an occasion to jump in and drive - no matter where!

I first watched this video about 6 months ago as I fell in love with the f-type ever since it was released! I said to myself that I will own one at some point in my life!!….. Now I’ve just sat here and watched it again as an F-type owner and it has genuinely made me feel really emotional. Sam this is such an epic and emotional tribute to the F-type and like many of the other comments on here…. That opening cinematic really hits the spot hard!! 🔥🔥 Fantastic video and like you I am going to enjoy my F-type for as long as I can!! ❤️

Genuinely great video throughout - intro was some truly fantastic shots, and the throwback clips at the end really let the emotional side of things linger. Saying goodbye to something that holds so many memories will always be sad but that soundtrack will stick with you for a lifetime

That gave me chills. 👏👏👏👏👏. This is your future on KZfaq. Keep doing this type of content and you’ll always find an audience who loves what you do. Much respect on that whole edit and story.

What a mistake, Jag. If any vehicle deserves to stay in the lineup w some form of ICE, it's the F-Type. Sam, Your channel was what made me want one more than anything. Rented a V6 S Convertible when touring my soon to be home in Oregon 2019 and fell in love. Unfortunately couldn't find a manual V6 car when I finally had money for a used one so I settled on a V8 Mustang. The only thing I'd trade up for now is an F-Type R or SVR! I need to own one of these. If only for a little while.

Epic! Such a well put together video, both visually and story wise. Really enjoy following along with your journey.

The ultimate cinematography anywhere on KZfaq Sam. Absolutely otherworldly. The F-Type is also equally impressive, what a perfect send off.

As somebody subscribed to your channel since the Audi TT days, That opening summed up for me exactly how far the channel & you have come, Well done sir, Brilliant work Sam! keep the videos coming! ...I'm also sad about the F-Type leaving 😭

That intro!!! 🤯 Well done Sam! Well done! 👏 A fitting tribute to the Jag F-Type, and your story with them.

What an amazing video. The opening was spectacular and the emotion in the video was clear. Loved the ending with the memories too.

I have one in the garage since 7 years and I absolutely love that car.

Top Gear quality that intro

Sad to see Truffle go Sam. I found your channel when researching F-Types and bought my V6 S convertible in large part because of your love for yours and have enjoyed mine every day since I got it. I’ve watched you every since and you do an outstanding job with your content. Thanks for all you do to bring us along for the journey!

incredible video! and incredible how, trought the years, your content has evolve! remember the launch video of the red F type! so much work to arrive at this video!

Big compliments on the opening cinematic on this video. Amazingly done Sam. Lovely content as always

This episode was so EPIC. I’m in tears. What a great journey. Thank you Sam for the amazing content.

Incredible cinematography Sam! Jaguar needs you on their video marketing team! This video is something like Clarkson would make during the best seasons of Top Gear. No wonder you are my favorite car KZfaqr, even slightly more than (I dare to say) Shmee!

My new favourite STG video, if not KZfaq video. Great to see the genuine emotion and passion you have for these. Can’t wait to see the next F-Type!

The first two minutes of this video are one of the best intros ever in car KZfaqrs history! Wow! Loved this video… this is what cars mean to petrolheads… it’s all about the memories, the emotions, how they make us feel. Your throwback was so genuine, so personal, so authentic… just perfect. Thanks for sharing!

Truly wonderful storytelling and cinematography! Love it! What did you think of these leather seats in this one vs the suede seats of the truffle? Having a hard time deciding!

What a video! From the cinematic opening to the emotion filled dialog. I one day hope to own a F-type and you are 100% one of the reasons why i want to own one. Sam thank you very much for this video. made a grown man tear up a bit.

That beginning gave me the chills.. Unrivalled quality content here, very well done!

What a beautiful tribute Sam, I've been here since the 4C days, the journey you've been on both F-Type and KZfaq related is phenomenal. This video was beautifully shot and brought back fond memories of watching your earlier videos hoping one day to own a car like this! Well done on a great send off piece, you really did do it justice! Good luck for the future

Special intro and an even more special goodbye. Amazing video. Time to buy an M3 Touring now 👀

Excited for what's next!

Damn Sam, for two reasons: This is Top Gear episode quality material! The calm intro, your emotions, stunning camera work and even some petrolhead consumer advice..! Second: Damn you, I now want/need/must have an F type at some point! Job well done sir, peak KZfaq this.

This is one of your absolute very best Sam, congratulations! The tone is consistent throughout and your choice of music alongside the footage (with the edit) was perfect. I hope for your sake this gets millions of views so that you can keep your F-Type.

Great opening 😊

Anyone else remember the red F-Type?

Made me feel the love and passion you have for these cars! Hope you'll get an other one real soon.

Honestly to keep it short and sweet, if someone was to put that infront of me and I had no idea who you were but they said "here is the new Top Gear, what do you think?" I'd be like this is incredible and I can't wait to watch more. The production, the cinematography, the edits, the way it all flows is just incredibly well done. Its like the perfect balance of what you'd like to see in a high production setting, but also you manage to keep that raw youtube vlog feel of old. You and if you have any sort of team behind you, should all be super proud.

What an Intro !!

Probably one of your best videos yet. Not technical, but emotionally connected with the car. Well done!

Absolutely incredible video from cinematography to music to sheer emotion. Just perfection! You’ve got my heart aching to some day be able to own one of these!

Great video, for me, one of the best that you've done. Opening was truly spectacular, narrative was heartfelt and sincere - the car ... simply fabulous. Thank you

I too felt similar emotions and sentimental value when letting go of my 2017 Ultra Blue British Edition F Type. It was my first sports car and I immediately fell in love with it and felt a deep connection to it. To this day I still miss it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us! What beautiful and dramatic cinematography too.

Such a great video....I literally blown away by the quality of the this film, because it is a movie homage to a truly great car. It harks of old school Top Gear vibes, the production is top notch. Thank you Sam for your passion coming through the screen.

Absolutely amazing video. The best I’ve ever seen on this channel Sam. Simply incredible cinematography and craftsmanship at its best

Fantastic Sam. Onwards and upwards. Many happy journeys to come. Bought a tear to my eye. Cheers.

Genuinely one of the best motoring videos I've ever seen, and I'm including T.V in that !! Amazing visuals, heartfelt dialogue and true emotion whilst talking about the cars. And the best thing is we have been there with you on the journey and it's been memorable :)

I have had my V8S Convertible since new (2014). She still makes my grin whenever I see or drive her. Looks as good as new. Your video is a fitting tribute to the car. She's definetly iconic. I cant even imagine parting with her.

I just love watching your videos. The cinematography is pure heaven and you telling a story, taking us on your journey, let us all be part of your thinking… itˋs like asmr but for carguys! Keep it up, your doing so amazing. Still my most underrated KZfaqr/ car journalist… you should be so much bigger. The quality of your videos is unmatched by any other

Probably your best video. Love the emotions shared.

I’ve been watching you since the 4c days and this video really hits home. I was also lucky enough to take design lessons a few years back from Cesar Pieri, the designer of the Project 7, making this a really special video for me. Thank you Sam for all your hard work and great content, and as for Jag, you have well and truly worn your way into our hearts ❤

no one has put out a single video about cars this good since old top gear

I’m not even a huge ftype fan, but as a video you have managed to plunge all of your passion and emotion for a vehicle into a video with excellent cinematography, emotion and history. Top work. Genuinely better than anything top gear or grand tour I’ve put out in such a long time. You should be so proud of this video

What a beautiful piece of content ! The way it's filmed and put together is at another level as always. And it was so emotional jeez 🤯

Great video, the beginning was as just as good if not better then any car video I have ever seen. These cars will be future classics for sure.

One of the best automotive KZfaq production videos I’ve ever watched. Outstanding level of content and story telling. Hats off!

Wow, Amazing. the music, cinematics, intro, outro.... everything.

This is the best video you’ve ever produced, absolutely top class Sam. The filming and cinematography are simply outstanding, this is big budget Manufacturer advert standard, honestly this was breathtaking, emotional, I’m blown away. I want one.👍

I just love how Sam is emotionally and viscerally connected to the F-Type. This is why I watch this channel.

I’m been watching from the beginning and this is by far the best video you have done. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Stunning Sam. Congratulations on such a beautiful video. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it

Great video! Been following your channel since the 4C days and loved the F-Type content over the years. Been a fan of the F-Type since it launched and owned a V6S for 2 years and loved it. Recently sold it as I need the money for some house renovations, but definately hope to get back in one at some point. Would love to experience a V8 F-Type for a while. I do think this car is a future classic, as everyone I spoke to loves the way it looks, feels and sounds.

Outstanding video emotional as well . Well done my friend. That’s a great tribute to a great car

I've watched your channel since the TTS and you were the first automotive youtuber I ever watched, and one of the only ones I've stuck with all this time. I adore how passionate you are and how confidently you show such real passion and emotions, especially over RELATABLE things. I've loved watching your story with the F-TYPE for the last 8 years and can't wait for what comes next. This video made ME teary and I don't even own an F-TYPE as much as I love it dearly 😂

Outstanding. That wasn’t just a video, it was a beautiful and emotional immersion. Sam is producing possibly the best-crafted automotive content available on KZfaq - or indeed anywhere

That was an amazing video! Always loved the F-type and your content with it. I was genuinly excited when you bought the red one! Great videos were made with the Jags. I will miss it, but for sure you'll buy another one in the future.
