In this video, I take my 1970s Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 on its first drive after being off the road for over 30 years! This isn’t just any XJ6—it was originally sold at the very first Jaguar dealership in the United States. Before hitting the road, I dive into the unique history of the dealership that sold this car brand new, and then I tackle a few last-minute fixes to get it ready to hit the pavement. BUY ME A GALLON OF GASOLINE! http://www.patreon.com/addvanced The drive starts off smooth, and I even take a detour to pick up some new wheels. But things take an unexpected turn when the car suddenly breaks down, and I have to bring in my Porsche 911 for a dramatic rescue mission.

And stay tuned—there’s more to come in this XJ6 journey! 00:00 First Dealership in USA 02:59 Leaks 04:28 Adding Rizz 07:04 First Drive 09:26 Removing the Stupid 11:29 Adding Bling 14:35 Fuel Tank Restoration 19:15 Wheel Wed 24:12 Tank 2 25:20 Rescue 911 Keywords: Jaguar XJ6, Jaguar XJ6 Series 1, classic Jaguar restoration, first drive, Jaguar history, vintage Jaguar, classic car restoration, Jaguar breakdown, restoring classic cars, Jaguar manual transmission, SU carburetors, Porsche 911 rescue, road trip adventure, vintage car repair Hashtags: #JaguarXJ6 #ClassicCarRestoration #VintageJaguar #JaguarSeries1 #FirstDrive #CarRestoration #ClassicCars #JaguarHistory #RestorationJourney #RoadTripAdventure #CarBreakdown #Porsche911 #CarRescue #VintageBritishCars
