Utterly fascinating stuff especially seeing true craftsmen at work.

Just watching this online, fascinating stuff!

It's a shame it didn't make actual TV rather than just online, I really live Mark Evans' enthusiasm and presenting style.

Is this a different programme to the one they showed on the TV a few years back? I remember one with him and some Jaguars, but I thought that was lightweight E-types.

Yeah tis disappointing, when i heard he'd got a new 'is born' series commissioned last year i though it was gonna be a proper 15x30 series like the old 4x4 is born.

Yeah, this one is new. Modern build of 9 XKSS's that Jaguar sold for a million quid a pop. The level of engineering that goes into one is very impressive.

Sadly it's all short (13 minute approx) online episodes, but you can download the lot and watch in one hit, with adverts. Really entertaining, and such beautiful sounding cars.

Just watched the bulk of these in one sitting worth a watch if you find yourself we time on your hands.
