British Icons | Assess and Caress with Donald Osborne and Jay Leno | Jay Leno's Garage

[@geoffreycarter3981]

I love Donald and the information and humor he brings to this series. What a great man. Please continue to feature him as long as he is willing!

[@joshpeck5842]

I agree, a fantastic addition and a great debater

[@GCTO239]

Donald is such a cool and knowledgeable dude. Could listen to him for ages. Jay, your channel is such a treat.

[@robertrotterdam9]

Indeed, and Jay has so much hands-on experience, owning so many of these special cars & having his own garage. For instance Jay describing the fact that for the Bentley already small repairs/maintenance items require the engine to be taken out. Wow! Man hours WERE cheap back then.

[@SIRV8PESALOT]

Love the chemistry between Jay and Donald. The ease in which they both communicate the knowledge they have makes it easy for me to listen and learn. Please keep this series going and perhaps expanding on it. Ty!

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

Donald is the only American I've seen that actually pronounces things properly, nice to see they exist

[@-DC-]

Mr Donald Osborne what an Absolute Pleasure to Listen to that mans Knowledge.

[@BryceLovesTech]

This is the best show on KZbin. I love them.

[@willierants5880]

Man, what a treat, we can't get enough of Donald!

[@normanrussell5526]

Mau aussi

[@saabjunkieSPG]

Another fantastic episode with Donald and Jay!

[@sammysouth8372]

Mr. Donald is a pleasure to listen to.

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Beautiful selection of cars as usual and the best car talk you'll ever run into Always a great show

[@bluesky9093]

Jay is the Warren Buffet of the automobile world. Understands what he buys, holds them for years and grows his investment. But I bet it was more about his love for the cars. That Bentley is just something special.

[@777jones]

Well put. Many people don’t know that Buffet doesn’t do it for the money. He loves the game, and money is an afterthought.

[@jawkneekat]

I admire both these fellas so much. Sincerely appreciate what you guys do! Thanks!

[@danielfox6907]

Donald is the best addition to the show. He's encyclopedic.

[@VTSteve]

Yeah, but, it might not fit with the audience, do you all know who your audience is?

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

They Leno guy's pretty knowledgable, too!

[@Future-Classic-Cars]

Lol 😂 they Leno. Non binary Leno 😂​@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261

[@puddlejumper06]

Awesome series! The whole family watches. Age 13 to 97!

[@EJFXxx]

another great one ... thanks Jay & Donald

[@todds2248]

What a travesty that is happening to Jaguar. They were the quintessential sports car, beyond beautiful. Jay, we all hope you are doing well and recuperating quickly. Please take care of yourself. You sir, are a national treasure.

[@diviningrod2671]

That commercial is better suited for a Starburst candy commercial

[@roccofortura2468]

you guys are just great together

[@UberLummox]

So glad you saved that Bentley and kept it from being another race car clone. Well done! A real car guy knows & preserves auto history, along with mechanical aptitude.

[@GCTO239]

Best show on KZbin. The cars, the stories, the knowledge, the people…simply fantastic!

[@GCTO239]

The Bentley is mental. ❤ WOW!!!

[@fxworld7012]

Jay, we all hope you are doing well and recuperating quickly. Please take care of yourself

[@CS-oe8og]

Donald is the man! Jay is the legend! Thank you both!

[@timgosling6189]

A great summary. And I'm sure Donald just mis-spoke when he said the XK engine served Jaguar for nearly 70 years. As it was introduced in 1948 that would have meant it still being used up to 2018. In fact it was replaced by the all-new AJ6 in the early 1980s, although a few XKs continued to be fitted to the limited-production Daimler DS420 Limo up until 1992. Still, 44 years is still a good run.

[@jimchik]

Ahhhh… the MGC… had one once. Actually… I had moved to NYC and sold it to a guy who had bought it for is daughter, if memory serves me correctly. The car was a blast. I had the two tops, too, and the 4spd with the electric OD. So much fun.

[@marcofabro]

Do you mean an MGB? Two tops? The MGC is a fixed head and there's no top to remove. I've got an MGB and wish it was a MGC.

[@jimchik]

@ no, it was a C.

[@marcofabro]

@@jimchik oh my apologies. Though you meant an MCG GT. Of course MGC convertible. Very cool.

[@davidolien2828]

Jay, I hope you are recovering quickly from your accident. Thank you for doing these programs.

[@howardnielsen6220]

Donald Osborne my favorite Jay I like you too Donald is so sharp Thank you both of you.

[@re14437]

Similar to the Bentley, my grandfather bought a 1919 Pierce Arrow Inside Drive Limousine to save it from being turned into a fire truck (common at the time). Now, only 1 other remains like it.

[@siraff4461]

I love that Bentley. One of my favrourite cars ever built.

[@LordTwaddle]

I have an MGC GT and having owned a B for years beforehand, I have to agree with both of them. The MGB is a better sports car due to the weight balance but the C is just a better car overall, much more refined, smoother, better looking, it’s a lovely thing.

[@kristdodaro7926]

Donald is a gem. I’m not sure who the other guy is with Donald; he’s ok, I guess. Donald makes him look good.

[@happycat3399]

Oh my gosh, “you enjoy driving the car for an hour and come back and work on for 3 and you’re a happy guy” ! My dad and his triumph spitfires😀 one for use and one for parts 🤣

[@KekeElBecko]

Donald said "when you bought a Jaguar, you bought two". Coincidentally, it was announced today that the deputy prime minister during Tony Blair's premiership John Prescot has passed away. One of his nicknames was "Two Jags".

[@martinbalmforth2665]

Will someone please wrap Jay in bubble wrap! Speedy recovery Jay!!!

[@dwe4]

Jay! Stay safe!!

[@WZD10016]

Definitely 👍

[@kenlevie1877]

Jay is absolutely a national treasure. The more time Jay is on this planet the better off every gearhead and even the world is. Thank you Jay for everything you bring to the world.

[@thereisnospoon52]

Always an interesting video when these two get together.

[@htimsid]

According to the data I can find quickly, a 1968 UK-spec MGB around 95bhp. the standard MGC UK-spec around 145bhp. Downton Engineering built modified MGC engines with around 175bhp. Careful choice of tyres and tyre-pressures sharpen up the handling.

[@mattsiegel9876]

What a great episode. All three are amazing.

[@johnnewcomb1128]

You guys are great, so much knowledge. Take care Jay and speedy recovery

[@dmorehouse774]

I would love to see a good unrestored Triumph GT6.

[@regsparkes6507]

Thank you Jay, this is excellent.

[@lennartengel1971]

They are great together. You feel the respect towards each other. I love the humour and the relaxed way of filming and taking time to discuss these cars in detail.

[@markp44288]

I'm sure Jay loves all his cars, but he got more excited about that Bentley than just about anything! And it is stunning and amazing.

[@FunAtDisney]

I have loved this series as much as Mansions and Motorcars!

[@camwazoski8357]

I’m so glad they are continuing this series

[@robertrotterdam9]

Absolutely! One learns a lot AND it's FUN! Perfect combination 🙂

[@jtreut]

We are fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from these two greats.

[@azuraelion]

You two are great together! I love the reparté, both knowledgeable in their way, and the different personalities on why you like cars.

[@rynosraceroom66]

Me & you both 🤘🏻🏁

[@justinbest9429]

Really enjoy these videos. I bloody love Jay, what a cool guy!

[@MrSizewise]

Jay I grew up in Lawrence, Massachusetts right next door to your Andover childhood home. My mothers friend was actually a classmate of yours at Andover High School. I attended Salem State College now University where you donated $100,000. I have been a big fan of yours since the Tonight Show. Not sure if it’s from your comedy or our combined passion for cars and motorcycles. If you are ever back in the Andover area I would love to meet you. Thank you!

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

Jay, I owned a used MG Midget in undergrad college. I always thought the 3 windshield wipers looked cool. It was rusted out all around the bottom, but because it was the only sports car on campus it turned out to be a chick magnet. ;)

[@mfc4591]

Jay and Donald really like to tease each other, it's a great show, well done gentlemen.

[@77gmcnut]

Jay and Donald, Thank you both for this interesting series of comparisons. The banter between the two of you is filled with so much interesting information and humor. When I make it to Rhode Island again I'll be stopping by for a whole day yo take it all in.

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

The absolute best auto duo ever! Thanks, Jay and Donald.

[@Mmmyess]

I really enjoy Osborne's commentary. He should start his own YT channel, though I'm thrilled to see him here on JL's Garage. Great teamwork!

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

wonderful show with Donald again dear Jay. Just a little detail about the Blue Train Bentley, it was based on a Speed Six,not on the 8 litre engine.

[@RideNGrind]

Wishing a speedy recovery to both Jay and Jaguar!

[@eddietucker3334]

I love Donald Osborne. He is a car guy extraordinaire. My kind of guy. The XKE is the most beautiful car ever produced, bar none. A close second is the 1963 Studebaker Avanti. Both deserve museum status as the best design brilliance of the 20th century.

[@daviswall3319]

Don and Jay work great together. Thx guys! Love the video! Well done!

[@Lumber_Jack]

A+ guys!

[@larryps]

These guys are the best. I love watching them and I'm not really into cars. They make them so interesting.

[@1968spikey]

AT LAST!!!! Someone of repute states the coupé is prettier than the roadster, echoing my long held beliefs! There IS a God! 😊

[@talosiv4927]

Great cars, informative, fun chat! Wonderful as always!

[@LouT1501]

I wish you a speedy recorvery, Jay. Thank you for the fascinating video.

[@artistnyc123]

The way these two are able to go back-and-forth in conversation, It's almost like they've been doing blow all night.

[@Wladislav]

What a trio!

[@normanrussell5526]

I just love these two gentlemen, it would be like earwigging on two gents in a fine old country pub in somewhere like Herefordshire, with a nice roaring fire on a cold sunny day.

[@fortisfortunaadiuvat9262]

Love these guys

[@ruperthartop7202]

Great series of videos, many thanks for sharing both

[@allenkranawetter9482]

I've always been a fan of the MGB GT

[@iduswelton9567]

Back in the late 60s my cousin bought a 1949 Jaguar with a bad motor for $400 - he restored everything back to factory specs except the motor which was an inline 8 cylinder with a split open block - he installed a Ophinhauser v6 race motor with a 6 spd. transmission - it was incredibly FAST - approx. 180mph was possible - he had it painted Pearl White - last time I heard anything about it was that my cousin brother has it in California

[@allenkranawetter9482]

I noticed the mirrors on the fender. My late father had mirrors on the fenders on his 1957 Chevy Belair

[@urbo42]

Best Jaguar joke: The Jaguar enthusiast is really excited because he just drove his new car across the country and it only caught fire twice!

[@briandurning9211]

Like Bill Cosby used to say, if you are not careful, you might learn something. I look forward to the next episode in this series. It's informative and humorous. Nice work, gentlemen.

[@blueberrycobbler]

Quoting Bill Cosby? 😬

[@G55STEYR]

What a sturdy camshaft drive in the Bentley. 3 con rods between 2 similar cranks

[@MELLIEbevhills]

LOve this series with DOnald!!!!

[@jaxspider]

Jay silently walking away is a mood.

[@DEEJaye-z5g]

What beautiful cars. The Bentley is great. I really enjoy your videos. Do you have a museum of cars? Great Video. Thanks Jay. David.

[@StevenSWM]

The Jaguar has always been, since the early 60's, my most favorite car! I must admit, I would love one of the 12 cylinder models restored and brought up to snuff, and made even MORE reliable. Cosmetically Original, but mechanically enhanced! There are a few places that do that to these old Jag's, but for a $Price!!!

[@b2tall239]

They're not lying when they say the E-Type is the best looking car of all time. Even Enzo agreed.

[@rollinronin8125]

I'd take the Miura.

[@horfieldboy9478]

Another fantastic show - but when aren't they. Three amazing cars. Surprised how good the MGC looked. Never been a big fan but might need to have a rethink.

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

Jay's not joking about Model T"s! My dad bought a used one for $12.

[@Goooooo]

Sorry to hear about your fall, Jay. Get well soon!

[@geriatricmotorcars9516]

As a kid growing up in London I did a paper round and would see the likes of jaguars triumphs MG 's And minis I became a car guy drolling over these vehicles I also witnessed the death of these affordable British cars and the car industry here in general . I also remember when E types Jags were available in the hoards between £1500 to 3k in the early 80's Truly grateful for living through that period

[@RoelfvanderMerwe]

These videos are awesome!

[@The_Joser]

Loving the series! Great video.

[@2140BlackCreek]

English cars. Yes, those on display are beautiful and if maintained correctly they are wonderful cars. Of course they are, with patience, ability and dinero almost anything is possible. I've owned or worked as a mechanic on several English driving machines, spent several years commercially piloting English aircraft by de Havilland, BAE, AVRO, Vickers, and even serviced English outboard motors! All are unique I will admit, but their electrical, pneumatic - OH God- or attempts at a hydraulic system (s) really leave much to be desired. Even Mercedes's vacuum system in the 123 series was more trouble free. Donald and Jay, thank you for the video and allowing me to get my thoughts off my chest.

[@russthebiker]

Well done Jay Leno for saving this from being turned into yet another Le Mans replica

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

What a shame about how the British auto industry had declined so greatly. The 1970’s was a cruel mistress. I grew up in Buffalo. I know.

[@senorpepper3405]

What did buffalo in the 1970's have to do with the British auto industry?

[@quincee3376]

Speedy recovery Jay!!!

[@moparedtn]

As long as Jay has dedicated to looking after his wife (Gods' work!), it's starting to appear he may have reached a point in life where perhaps he could use a little looking after as well... Feel better Jay and please, perhaps consider an assistant or some such to help keep you safe! - Ed on the Ridge

[@adzharrold5952]

That Bentley is absolutely incredibly

[@leonkruk8003]

Donald, Jay and toolman Tim would make a great sitcom.

[@wasupmike22]

Why no custom thumbnail? I almost missed this video.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

Absolutely love the Jaaag😊

[@barrynkaye]

MGC was a great car for the money. I put in an electronic ignition and changed the original tires to Michelin, made a big difference. In overdrive, could cruise well over 80 no problem.

[@konliner9286]

Love this episode ! Now do Italian and German cars.

[@Niterider73]

I really am enjoying this series. Can't wait to see the next one!

[@kc0lif]

jaguar xke reminded of the 1960s avengers British tv show. Donald osbourne great personality just like jay leno.

[@urbo42]

They covered the headlights? They actually UNCOVERED the headlights.

[@diviningrod2671]

MG looks like a baby bat with those pointy bumperettes The context these two bring in to little unknown references is just a gem

[@beluch2768]

"Boylton Street v.Coldwater Canyon"--great comment. Donald Osborne is awesome! Where can I find out where he buys his clothes?

[@chrissometimes7473]

The pair of them make a great double act!

[@Mohammed-80-M]

I've just learned of your accident and hope for your swift recovery and return to your usual activities🙏

[@adityasambhare]

The "blue train" Bentley is a speed six.
