Brilliant discussion with the main guys who created the F-Type. Definitely worth a watch.

 

Lovely video, great to know that Ian Callum's brother just picked up a very rare manual V6, too! 😎

 

That was an interesting chat amongst the boys responsible for the F Type. Youtube also has an interesting episode of the Prime production "How to build a motorcar - Jaguar F type". Enjoy

 

The ending made me sad....

"It was good times". Indeed it was. The last golden era of Jag was from I feel the 12 XK facelift through till the last Ftype facelift.

"The last Jaguar ICE sports car".... "Maybe the last jaguar sports car ever".

But it also gave me hope:

"They will be rebuilding them in 50 years time"... "May be a whole industry built around it"

God I hope so. We need better parts to solidify all the faults. Universal upgrade to Silicon coolant pipes. Aftermarket high-quality modules or new modules all together to replace the old and dying. and on and on .....

 

Wow, thanks for posting that. I hadn’t seen this video. I really enjoyed that.

Watching this made me a bit sad when thinking of the company’s current path relative what I watched in this video ;(

 

I was quite surprised that none of them picked a 6MT car as they one they would want to own. And the idea that they only built a 6MT option because of the US market was also a shocker. But, of course, I'm a manual transmission obsessive.
