1962 Jaguar sitting for 15 years. Will it run?

Apologies for the jerky camera movement in the first half of the video. I didn’t realise until it was too late that the in-camera stabilisation had been accidentally turned off. It does get better once I realised!

Not often I watch a 90 minute video on YouTube, and even less often do I wish it was longer! Great project, can't wait for more. Subbed.

I've been an engineer for over fifty years and you took on a job that I've seen experienced mechanics walk away from. Well done!

54:35 Sun is out, the wife and baby are keeping you company while you work on a proper old Jag. You are living the dream. Congrats, you deserve it.

Brake hoses collapsing a common problem on old cars ....you're doing a great job ...thanks for the entertainment 😊

You are from Essex back in the day use to be well known Jaguar Specialist Barry Sheen is South Ockendon he done every jag from XK - ETYPE and mK2 Stype MK10 had every spare also but has sadly passed away now RIP Barry. I remember as a kid seeing all jags sitting outside on road and drive way I was mad mad mad series1 etypes crazy about them so rapid but a completely different animal to MK2 jags great memories back in the day so much enjoyed my childhood thanks so much dad for teaching me being special father miss you so much RIP man your a diamond watching this vid now just brings it all back seriously brings tears to my eyes 👀

Nice one Dude :) My Dad bought a 66 Mark 10 in 69, 4.2 staight six, same deep dark blue; beautiful beautiful car, loved it:) Always dreamed of the day I passed my test and could drive it :) My two years older brother wrote it off after three days of driving it when he was seventeen, in about 74 :( so I never got the chance :(( Fortunately, my brother, his friend and my younger brother were not too badly injured.

One day you're gonna have your own unit with a proper lift and all the tools and kit and would love to see what builds you pull off.

A bit of trivia. Nacogdoches, the town where the car was registered, was sadly made famous when over 1000 bits of the space shuttle Columbia fell on the town and surrounding area after the shuttle broke up upon re-entry on the 1st February 2003.

Working on an old Jag in that condition is WAY different to a USA V8. For starters you can walk into an O'Riellys and get almost anything for a pushrod V8. You picked an almost specialist vehicle to try it out on. We owned a MK10 for years I love them, theres 2 for sale here in WA Western Australia right now.

Just found your channel and must say I've enjoyed watching. I'm living in South Korea and really enjoy watching car repair videos. Thanks for sharing!

Loving the extra long videos Nino. Excellent job as always showing the reality of repairing cars

All Jags use electric fuel pumps & the ones with twin fuel tanks such as the Mk 10 & 420G have two fuel pumps. You desrerve a medal for taking on that car without detailed Jagaur mechanical knowledge.

On a sticky engine crank at least 720 degrees by hand to turn the cam over at least once. Don't want to risk breaking timing parts that might be stuck. Thanks for sharing this, quite enjoyable.

A great first video on the Jaguar. Please continue the series. Looking forward to the next one.

I think you need to give the boys at Tom Lenthall a phone call.

Nino,, you must be a complete mentalist taking on that old Jag, but the results are utterly brilliant. Keep up the good work mate ❤

Your brake pipes are wrong ….input at side and pressure at the end 👍🏻

Honestly, I love the fact that you have taken the time to research using the Jaguar Service manuals but also, the fact that you have purchased text books to teach yourself and have really put the time into doing these cars is really impressive. Plenty of us rooting for you down here in sunny Canterbury.

I remember very many years ago, a customer was in the shop where I worked and he heard I had a parcel to deliver to another customer, he offered very kindly to drive me to where the customer I needed to go to lived. When I got outside the shop there was this fabulous Mk 10 Jaguar. To me sitting in this was like being in an aircraft cockpit and the wonderful sound and the comfort was astounding. Never had one but loved them ever since so all good wishes on the restoration of this beauty!
