The British Lad Who Built Jaguar | A Classic Car Documentary
In this documentary, I follow the story of Sir William Lyons, the British car designer who changed the world with his iconic Jaguar sports cars. From his humble beginnings at Swallow Sidecars to his success in the 1970s and 80s, William Lyons was a genius behind the wheel of a Jaguar. In this documentary, we follow his incredible story, designing classic cars like the XJ6 series. If you're a fan of classic cars, then this documentary is a must-watch.

I have always liked Jaguars and was really surprised on the life of its founder Sir William Lyons and how he started in the sidecar motorcycle industry. I feel like this story is a great video to add to my channel as it combines everything I want this channel to be about. Business stories about the world of classic vehicles. Enjoy!

I am in a long time jaguar owner with a lot of experience with the Marque. I’m extremely well-versed in all things jaguar having spent personal time with Norman Dewis, jaguars long time test driver as well starting a jaguar club as part of JCNA Here in the USA. This was an absolutely excellent historical account of the history of the company. Excellent job! You touched on many accurate and essential key points! Thank you so much

Your content is just amazing. You have a great narrating voice. It really catches your attention and won't let it go till the end. Keep up the great work my friend.

Dad had a 1967 4.2 liter XKE. I got to drive it to school occasionally. I’ve never forgotten that car!❤

I'm a Jaguar fan/enthusiast. Sir William Lyons was a great inventor. I own an XJ8 also a Bentley and Lexus all brill cars but have a passion for the Jag. The history and heritage of Jaguar is only matched by very few Marques. Duesenberg, Cord, Aubern, Armstrong-Siddley, Bentley, Rolls-Royce. Sorry if I left any others. I just love luxury cars rather than sports cars. I love the ride, leather and wood.

Jaguar was British (owned in India now, but still built in Blighty). It is pronounced as Jag - u - are, please. Austin 7s were made in Longbridge, Birmingham, although Coventry is only 35 miles away. Both places had skilled car workers. The last volume car styled by Lyons was the 1968 XJ6. You briefly showed, but did not speak of the part played by John Egan in helping Jaguar escape from the British Leyland mess.

The world may never again see a design as beautifull as the XKE. Shagadelic baby!

I enjoyed the movie Tucker, the Man and His Dream, so it was a bit distracting to see edits from that movie while explaining Lyons company and career. Maybe just using stills might portray a more accurate depiction. It's a great story and I always appreciate learning new info when it pertains to the automotive industry. Thanks.

Daimler is also incorrectly pronounced. Also left out is mention of the excellent Mark 1 Jaguar and the demise of the road going D Type XKSS due to a disastrous factory fire.

Please keep the videos longer than the typical 15-16 minutes and I'd be glad to subscribe. Great quality!"

You do a fantastic job on these videos.. Thank you ..

As a new owner of a 2000 XKR, I greatly appreciated your telling of the Jaguar story 👍🏻

The Jaguar Mk 2 built for the American market.
How could a documentary on Jaguar miss out on the most significant 50’s Jaguar saloon that lead to the Mk 2. The 2.4 (Mk1)!
Built from 55 onwards.

Really great overview of the company and Lyons' life. A quick correction, Mike Hawthorn didn't die on track but in a road accident, hitting a tree. I'm married to William Heynes' grandson, so we found this very interesting to watch :)

Great video, greetings from an independent Jaguar dealer in Great Britain…. 🇬🇧

Im picking up my first Jaguar tomorrow, an XFR. My grandfather was from Plymouth and a huge british automotive and racing fan his whole life. Wish he was still around to feel that supercharged V8!

I love Jaguars too, or I did until until after the 2010 period when they lost their individuality and are just a name today. My first car was a Jaguar and so was my second car, back in the 1970's. I never cared for the name as much as I just loved their car. Jaguar cars were not just about speed and William Lyons loved luxury and value for money. So his cars became a more practical RR with a more sportier approach. Today far to many people care about speed as status and the Jaguar car has lost its way and it's niche market, that made its great success. It was William Lyons and his taste in his cars that I fell in love with. Not the brand name.

Appreciate all the effort put into producing this video, I'm sure it must have taken a ton of hours!

A couple of years ago I was staying at the cliffs Hotel in Blackpool. One morning walking up the side of the hotel on king edward ave I noticed a blue plaque on the wall outside another hotel . Reading the blue plaque it commemorated this was the childhood home of William Lyon and in the garage at the back is where he built his first sidecar . I've been fascinated ever since . What a genius he was, should have far more recignition
