Chris Harris on Cars: I bought an XJ-S 3.6 manual because I love pain.

The 3.6 manual was the best XJ-S to drive, by miles. For this reason, and the fact that recent resto-mods were a bit extreme for my conservative taste, I am going to embark on a process of improvement that leaves me with a very competent and fast car - one that retains the standard styling that I like more and more. In this film we examine the condition of the car. A huge thank you to Classic Engine Workshop, and William Heynes. And my school pal Graham, who has a lovely voice.

When the world needed him most, he came back. Pure and simple. The influencer we all

Please keep this up Chris… loving having you back!

Chris could upload an hour of this kind of content every day and I wouldn’t miss a moment. Cheers to his son for being willing to participate in the family business as well.

Chris, please carry on with the channel. Your videos are so compelling.

Oh my word. My grandfather had one of these, exact same spec. It's the sole reason I became a car nut. Looking forward to more.

Chris Harris on Cars has always been some of my favorite content, and this project promises to be phenomenal too! Thanks Chris!! :)

Car hero doing hero things. In a time of out-of-touch restomods and hypercars, it’s good to see this.

Chris Harris has officially started his journey to 'Old Man' by buying a Grandfather's Clock!
A drop or two of oil-leakage underneath as you'd exepect from a ol'Jag. Headliner that sag & sway like a motel showercurtain. But in all seriousness, for £9, 000, you've done good, lad!

Passed the lift test, the front and the back of the car went up at the same time. It’s perfect

Graham a great guest would love to see him on again. Seriously knows his stuff

[NRoss-epow]

Excellent..a good restoration series has worked a treat for Mr Metcalfe so I'm looking forward to the Harris version.

I quite like the wooden beams holding the roof lining up, reminds me of an old cottage. Suits it well.

My old man had one, a 3.6 auto in light blue, he would approve. I took it to Maccies 5 up with the lads back in the day. Burnouts ahoy too.

The old man never knew bless him

More Chris Harris on Cars !!! I remember the Autocar days with the brand-new E92 M3 Nurburgring run in the pouring rain. "Well I guess the limiter doesn't work then ..." Still one of my favorite vids on youtube. And the Veyron top speed run with the incredible-o-ometer. Epic ! Keep posting Chris !!!

00:55" I went to school with him. He remembers me from when I was very little.. and a "bad influencer" 😊 Good choice of car. Looking forward to this series!

Hats off to young master Harris for the camera work. Wonder if your purchase will do for xjs's what Harry's did for xjc's? 🚀

[peterbradburn]

Appreciate that TWR resromod might be for some people, but all that body pack stuff just seemed a massive disservice to the old girl. This looks like exactly the kind of job I wanted to see 👍

[southerndiy]

My new favourite car channel. Can’t afford toys like these so I have to live vicariously through Mr Harris.

Bought a 94 coupe 4.0 in BRG this summer, , i love it!
