Is this the rustiest Jaguar in the world? Car & Classic - The Rescues

Morris Morris Minor commercial van, look, it doesn't have a roof, you're actually on it. It's so rotten you can see it on the co-op logo. I think it was a furniture truck, some kind of little body delivery truck and I think that's a comma, but whatever, look at the taxi driver on the TV inside, oh yeah, she's got an old TV, she's got one of the old TVs. 70s that was never delivered, but

this

is not in a good way. I've been fascinated by

this

car because it's a pretty rare car. Mark 9 because it's still complete, yes, well, I say complete, I mean obviously some of its rust, but it still has an engine, it still has a transmission.

I don't know what it's like, but that's why I thought maybe. We can remove all this foliage, see what's left of it and someone in cars and

classic

s might want parts because there's a lot of good stuff in it, a lot of brilliant work, I mean look at that deal with the police and people want this to be so Yes, as you say, it's a strange car. Lola did it for three years. Yes, look, it still has the 3.8. It's 3.8 3.4 3.8 I think that was the strange thing about this era of the Jag, is that right? the same mark 7, mark 8 was basically a help to mark if you have the orange indicators on the tail light this is later ok if not it is earlier but we only built them from 58 61 we should see .

If there's any backside, how are my pants held in? It's actually spreading like you're putting jello on a plate. This is another car that is still complete and way beyond the rest, but it could actually be a very good donor because it still has the engine running and the transmission and this is an old looking Citroen GS chrome bumper. That's not seen too much. Are you kidding? You have to look the other way. I don't think there is another side. Is better than. the Jag still has door trims, so we have a Citroën GS we can try and do some archaeology on.

There is one behind that I think is a Kama commercial van from the 50s. It has a backlight but they said only one because you don't have indicators oh look so this will be a flirt this will be a 58 yes beautiful taillights they will be glass No? They're going to try to spend today doing a combination of gardening archeology auto key ology auto key ology and just celebrating the fact that sometimes it's not about finding a car you can restore, it's funny about a car that still exists, you know, it starts and it has usable parts when it has it at nine and you can have these parts that we will get. them for you, but I guess if any of them are ever going to come out, they're going to come out down here and I guess all that stuff out there or that static camera that almost certainly has 80s porn on it because they always do, but if you look, you can see the car separating into layers, you can see parts of the wood frame and the wood trim, oh my gosh, that's the whole side, the side separates, so we could just lift those doors up and put them on the left, oh OMG look at the steering columns that fell off the dash because they were wood of course it was all wood, well the windshield is still there so we might be able to lift it up although you can put it away.

I think the plan is to try to get this car out somehow. I think moving it was a lovely idea, but I don't think it would work. I think we got some parts back and then we can move on, okay? but then, for the sake of entertainment on your screens, on earth these cars and the badges, the squirrels and the angry little balls? I have at least two shovels, I brought a power saw for some reciprocating, what are you going to do with those reciprocating? and then, and I also brought a kettle, let's do this, so kill the brambles, kill the brambles, sweep the area so we can see how terrible it really is and then celebrate the abandonment, yeah, I can only use a power tool, so Feliz, one point, this would have been an expensive new luxury car, someone was really excited one day to buy this, yeah, and suddenly you get the 70s guy in a 50s luxury car, It is not desirable to anyone and is worthless.

I give you my word that you are not a little afraid. I want one of these in much better condition. It was a race last year. It's just brutal. He has a bush growing. Look again. Some of these things are beyond help, but some of them. It has mechanisms and latches and I am absolutely connected to this rim at this point we have no idea if the cars actually have a chassis, once we determine how much chassis it has we will be able to determine if we can move it. That's probably right. Something somewhere is that there's a windshield where the windshield is and it's just falling off.

Actually, look how good the windshield wiper is. You see I know the cars I've tried to restore and restore. Certain things are very difficult to find. and it is very difficult to remake and that is what we want to try and rescue from this absolute disaster. You might be watching this laughing and thinking we're totally wasting our time. Well, there's some fun. It's exciting to unearth something that's abandoned or somewhere there's that morbid curiosity that people have about the abandoned and the forgotten and people will be watching this now because they want to see us on earth.

They have hope very close. One reason I want to see him well, my dad. he just wanted to go out for a walk in the rain, that's right, dad, yeah, that's the only reason you went out because he doesn't, he's not interested in golf, that's a little sculpted from God, that's sculpted, look at his shape. I don't even think it's cracked, it's just rotted very slowly and fallen off the car with too much difficulty to support the cost of custom made glass, someone somewhere will want that, if this is what happened to the body, to the chassis you are under.

I've been sitting on the ground and wet soil for four decades is just going to dissolve, so it's a sapling growing on the front seat, which is Titchmarsh. When you need it, we can lift the entire side of the car because it has a quarter like mechanism it has all the bright work on the doors and the glass and that would actually be pretty good as a spare part for someone. I don't think you need a saw for this. Me neither, yeah, I just use approaches, oh Christ, look and you wanted. To say this, I never say that the chassis could never be perfect, oh yeah, she will be a peach or she may not be there because she is somewhere here, not somewhere there.

I mean, how have you ever seen a more rotten car? No, I have never seen a car more wrong and so complete. Still, I have occasionally seen cars that have been washed out of lakes and are in poor condition. Yes, yes, in reality it is that you go out without being alone, it is like separating the internal and the external you miss it, yes, what I just moved the door, but I press the bottom part, the pillar that should be there, now it is here the whole door frame or the top of our door that we kept, so I think we should walk around there.

That's why I love the British. Anyone who sees this is from a warmer country, especially if by some miracle roadkill types are everywhere you look at this every day. That's why there's no equivalent in England because this is what we. You have to deal and you can go to a junkyard and find a car that is running dry forever and just put some spark plugs in it and this doesn't have a side that does or maybe a chassis, we have different things to puzzle over. does well I will do it oh no no no no no no well if I pull the steering column it's not attached to anything really the armrest yeah I see that piece of rear molding yeah that's what someone will have a hard time to find and although we can 3d.

Print certain things, sometimes you just need a pattern, that's what you need. You can see the independent front suspension. It's one of the things that made these cars good, even though they were huge, they could ask for really fast corners, really well. Can you help me remove them. the inner door of the outer door the outer door has some trim but if we cut it I don't want to break the glass because glass is actually something we make look at this it's a car just a more common brand nine the wipers work yeah poor thing we should probably move all the salvageable stuff it would keep funneling there oh my god she's men there's the throttle oh there's the VIN he's the VIN now that we win look .

I have some water apart from in the sky nothing above me, right, I'm going to clean this up and we'll know what it really was and hopefully we can decode it. Take me down. There are absolutely some shots in there. There is a strong man. Don't say anything, yes, even though the body is completely floating, there is still a chassis underneath, there are not many stabilizers that have a box there, which seems reasonably solid, well, we can't drag it. I don't know, it depends on how bad it is. He's at the front, but he still has a chance.

Look, I didn't think it would be chassis number 7 62 0 for 2 BW body number a 0 0 for 1 5 0 automatic transmission engine number n 9 1 9 3 something like that the thing is a perfect engine donor for an e -type on XK 120. You know, it probably has pretty low mileage. Can you see there? In reality, the speedometer probably fell off. It's a chassis. I told you where the box is. My God. Wow, just pull that. the things you do for enthusiasm/Louisville job the rear window is there, ok, my God, no, it's not broken, I'll save it, I'll put it in the other place, the twin, the twin tanks are there, look, there's one, there is the other. one, but they're beautiful, these real lights are a keeper and they're stainless snow, so we can just unscrew them.

I mean it's been down and out since the 70's as it was a 20 year old car it doesn't matter if you like restoring cars or driving old cars or looking to buy

classic

cars it's a pipe dream there's nothing I think it's still nothing more exciting and finding things that have been left for dead oh my god that's grown on the ground that's a Land Rover sliding window However, it looks pretty low with its bumper on the ground so if you want to do a Low Rider Mark 9, this is your inspiration or, oh, it's going to come up, oh, oh, I promise you.

I'm going to cut the cable loom. the Clippers, yeah, Clipper Earth, put my Clippers on that, put your Clippers on that blue thing, your slot beeps, let's go that direction, alright, alright, oh god, I'm in this a little clipped , aren't all those things like? that if you were in the car you would love to find and you probably can find the things in this car that people probably look at just ignore, well, we're trying to be as understanding as possible under the circumstances, sixty-five thousand miles, right? yeah he survived all that hopefully someone else can put his Martin on so you might be watching this thinking we're just being vandals taking the roof off yada yada we're not the cars that turn into tinfoil paper rusty aluminum, take it out.

We will never live again, but what we are doing by removing things like the roof and getting into it, is a prime example, so this was on the C pillar and one of you will be watching this and will have been watching. for that light cover or maybe you're looking for that lamp, you know things that we can take down and put away, things that can be cleaned and can come back to life, you know, things that are really hard to find, they go into an interior light, the bulbs Even if you're broke, it looks good as a roadster.

I guess we don't have a chassis back here, that's how I set you up, yeah, yeah, believe it or not, it's obviously the reinforcement behind the back seat where it goes to the wheel hubs. oh my god, look at this, I'm going to dig up the rear axle, there's a certain table set up, so first I'm going to dig up the trunk floor. I mean, if that weather team guy who isn't Tony Robinson, you know the West Country. one even gets so excited because imagine his tutors here giving banquets and he would get excited and they would be exchanging wool and drinking wine and punching people in the face and he would say yes, but like it's just a field that doesn't pay for anything, it's Well, there's not a drop of water right in the airlock, that's pretty much it.

I find that a little excitement sometimes gives me a little semi-I thought you were just leaving, I thought this was records around later maybe it's not nine maybe it's an eight well that's the thing maybe it's maybe it's a mark eight once we decode that vin by the time this video comes out we will have decoded the VIN I think even the animals stopped living in this one it probably let in too much water. I think it's the roof of the Morris Minor station wagon. See, that was a Morris Mahina truck. Those rear doors, the big doors, aren't too bad considering the rest of the car.

It wasn't really there anymore this white thing it was a helmet, impo, was it the Hillman Imp. I recognize the trunk lid, I saw the Bell man's pillow, it's folded Bell 47, know a good place, Chris, good place, okay, The weather has gone from bad to absolutely horrible, now we are I'm going to try to drag the Jaguar with the treasure, but before I do that we're going to drag the cat. That makes this our drag, huh, this is a drag, that's for you, roadkill, yeah,It has two glove compartments, one on the left. on the right Hillier which is still running and is a column car with automatic transmission, you can see that beautiful horn still but they said it was supplied by est coal of malmesbury wheelchair phone number 50 phone number 50 shiny, it has factory installed twigs in the dash with the radio and then the windshield collapsed with the A pillars taking the dash with it the window fell out and then the weather took away the entire walnut dash and then what was the bench of the front seat with a tree growing through it?

These used to be used on picnic tables, but look here, look at this beautiful clock. Do these still work? There are all the spider eggs there. There will be all the spiders. We believe the chassis can possibly be salvaged. The package from which the chassis could be used. the entire rear axle still exists, let's go look at the engine, oh there's a sag, look at the jag 3.8 twin s use there, it just arrived, it's still totally complete, radiator, carburetor, starter motor, fuel inspection cup , yes, and that would be a lovely engine. for an here this is exciting this is very excited I just have no idea if we can get this out so James has an attractor here we're going to connect you back it looks like we have a lot of axes ebook what is it?

What will happen is we'll tie it up, pull it back and the engine and chassis will all come together as one, it will break off and leave the engine behind, it will extend and leave the wings inside. the front and back because they are not attached to anything and are very wet and cold. Okay, this will work or it would back off a little bit. It is a simple piece, the chassis is a single piece. Yes look. travel shovel what just came out hitting the nads look at this now it needs to be dug out properly it's coming I'm worried it's going to come with a bang it's coming oh well this has come loose this has come completely loose all over the side of the car oh yeah it's It's out, it's coming, I think it's coming, yes, yes, there you go, there you have a pillar and what was the driver's door, the busiest door in the car, it's moving for the first time since the '70s, oh, that's it important, it is regular.

Crazy here, thanks for seeing the car in classic, if you want to see more of this or worse or better, subscribe and comment, the engines are lovely, know even the exhaust manifold, sorry, there is definitely a dynamo in this era, the Drag, you're the real one. drag you, yeah, it's not a price, it's not a proper drag, you're just because your drag race you have a drag, it will physically drag him from the grave of him. I just realized that I'm accidentally adding wool, you are totally adding wool. in front of a tractor that's perched like a praying mantis in front of your face, just watch it ping, what a nut of fruit I'm pulling out, okay kids, light them up so they burn, I don't want any of that peg leg nonsense, Is it burying? the tractor, the traitor is fighting, it's that way, so this is the furthest we have managed to experience, that the tractor doesn't want to play anymore, it's too wet, it's spinning the wheels, so this is it and, a At first glance, it looks like a day of vandalism but it's not because I will do it.

I don't live far away. I'll come back and dwell on the brilliant work and yada yada and surprisingly we have a bit more work to do but the chassis is quietly solid, yes it is. actually it's extraordinary giving each other engines, it's been at Somerset levels since the 70's, it's a lot of fun in the end, but that's what you'd change anyway, well you've got the VIN and you've got the chassis. and you have the shaft in the engine, actually you could make us enough of my restyled special if you wanted, we start the day with a rotten Daimler, we end the day with a rotten Jagua.

I love the way the whole car moves when I'm honest. when you put your hand on the wheel, if you think you've seen a more rotten car and you know where a more rotten and complete car like this is, tell us why I've seen a cup, there are a couple of LLL grow up. parts of it in that old chicken coop and that's okay, well if you do that you're done, I'll go warm up and play those parts, like and subscribe please, we'll do more, we're back at the crime scene there a big orb of bright light in the sky that wasn't here last time we ran out of patience with the weather so we went home, but now we're back to take a look at the cold, sobering light. of the day in what we have done and it seems that we have made a mess, but everything had a meaning, yes, the cars moving ten feet, but in doing so, we have established that it has a chassis and from the filming and From this, We're going to try to find a home for that chassis and see if anyone can use it.

We're also going to try to find a home for the engine because it's only such a big, old 65k mile engine. Straight-6 will probably be back up and running, it could find a home elsewhere, it would be remiss of us to not at least give it a chance. We have also gone down to take a look at the parts we rescued from this, some of the important ones. Fill in the edge, part of the glass, some of the hard to find pieces. If you are restoring a Mark 9 JQ r if you know someone is restoring a Mark now enjoy newer then my email is in the description below send me a message and we can.

Arrange to get these pieces for him, if they can go on and have another life then it will be brilliant.
