I've never known anyone with such a vast encyclopaedia like knowledge of the E typeJaguar. A fascinating man to listen to

[rayborg]

Maikel you are surely Mr E Type, no doubt about it.

[NoosaHeads]

This video was a mind-boggling eye opener.

[franklupker]

Micheal, good video, your knowledge is super, thanks for to explain everything. I exchange my e type coupe for a cabrio 63 with a lot of work. Greetings Frank.

[robertscheinost]

Nice! A free education from the master himself, Maikel Lemke. I'm loving it, Mark. Thanks for bringing us along from the comfort of our home. I always learn from your videos. Thanks!

[RichardMichaelOwen]

Awesome stuff, I have seen bonnet stamping mismatches from 1962. The Italian food wow

[NickVNL]

Great video Maikel, nice to see you & Giacomo joining forces again.

I was surprised to see quite a few ‘61 FHC on sale there, although most of them would need quite a bit of original parts to make them as wonderful as they should be. Love the originality of that very early nr 59 though, even if it’s not in my preferred colour.

Your video confirms that you need an expert when buying a classic car, E-type or any other for that matter.

Unfortunately you cannot rely (or trust…) the information from most sellers it seems, and an expensive mistake purchase is easily done.

Unaware buyers might be fooled by freshly painted cars with nice shiny new wheels, but everything else could be a disaster.

Please do keep up the good work with your videos, very much appreciated! Learned a few new things again which is always a pleasure 👍

[williamendres]

Thanks for the video, very interesting walk through of the show! I appreciated the details you provided.

[marknelson]

Well I'll be taking you along when I buy my E-Type!
I always learn so much from you re these cars.

[robertrotterdam]

I am only 30 minutes in, but my mouth dropped open with amazement about and pure admiration of the knowledge you have, Mr. Lemke! I am looking forward to the rest of the video! A big THANK YOU from The Netherlands.

[johndavey]

Hello Maikel . You ARE the master ! I was slightly nervous of your frank comments to the ltalian "e"type presentations mafia won't like it then l reconsidered, the mafia would love it ! 😂😂 And your mastery of ltalian is very impressive. Ballissimo !❤

[AlanDerrick]

Brilliant video. I always learn something on every one of your videos Maikel.

[stephanhueffer]

Thank you for your profound scrutiny of the market situation in Italy. I must say that if I compare other assets that went up 50% or more since corona and the 35% general inflation, those iconic cars are still undervalued.

[jonathanvince]

It is sad even in the UK they try and say original. What I like about this show and presenter is your knowledge of E types I was brought up on XK engine Jaguars. My Dad had so many of them from early MK2 not wire wheels 2.4L grey no E types right up to XJ6 4.2L when we found problems with XJ design engines as making them lighter. My favorite Jaguar was the Original MKX mark ten. We had a two tone paint works of brown and beige deep brown comfortable leather seats with flip up tables in the back with a 3.8L engine with two fuel tanks. I have no idea if it still exists sadly. The fastest one we had was a Jaguar 420G looked similar to the S type but grills were different it also had power steering issues even though been fixed many times and My dad dared to let me drive it on a private road area as a boy. It could do more than the Speedometer which went up to 140mph as there is in those older speedometers a metal pin after top speed in this case 140 it rested on that pin. My dad repaired many Jaguars including E types even tuning them with the SU carbs. One drag racer had a Jaguar XK 3.8 engine with a super charger. I could set up SU carburetors But was interesting on a V12 E type as six of them and complicated push pull rod links as they can work them selves loose something to check.

[nigelprice]

Thanks for posting. A fascinating video.
In a future video it would be good if you could explain in more detail, perhaps with comparison photographs or drawings, the different fits between very early S1 rear lights and later ones, and rear wing shapes in the area of the fuel filler flap.
Thanks again.

[martinluke]

In your intro you mentioned all the italian cars but not LAMBORGHINI.

[paulcharlesworth]

Maikel, the Bentley looks like the car owned by a British music hall artist [comedian] Norman Evans. My mother was housekeeper for Norman and his wife during the early 1960's. During this time Norman took myself, my brother and sister around the Blackpool Illuminations as a surprise trip. Unforgettable experience for 3 youngsters under 10 years old. Would be interesting to know the previous British owners names. Great video as usual, very informative. If I do get the chance to look at owning a E Type, I will surely need your expert opinion.

[marcus]

Great attention to detail, really good appraisal for buyers that also appreciate the details however do most buyers even care or know ? As many reproduction parts aren't correct to original & restoration companies don't have the time to find originals, when I asked a specialist restoration company felt buyers didn't care or know what is or isn't correct.
I'm restoring a 1963 British sports car & want it be as correct as possible & have gone to great lengths to make it so . I hope I hanvt wasted too much time stressing the details. Thank you

[martinskeet]

Maikel, do you have any thoughts on reusing original bolts? Obviously they look great and add to the authenticity of a car but for suspension items refinishing original bolts and replating them leaves a risk Hydrogen embrittlement and failure. What are your thoughts on that?

[nigelparker]

It’s a bit anal to know such detail and yet near encyclopaedic at the same time! Strange but somehow enviable if you care about such things! Cheers all E- Type lovers!
