That growl and whine gives me deep chills. Never heard anything like it. I never gave these cars a second thought until I've watched these videos Jay, but I am in totally in awe. Not too many things make an impression on me at this age, but these old cars blow me away. Thanks for sharing, and making them more than a museum relic. God these are fantastic!!!

If you want to hear more of it (and I bet you do), you need to see this link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYjGgnSQjLZ_pJY That car IS an original Alfa Romeo 8C Monza, being tested on a wet track.

@@Patrick_B687-3 Mind you, the car in the link IS an original Alfa Romeo Monza, built circa 1932, given an enlarged engine in 1933 (The car Jay Leno drove had a 2300cc engine, the car on my link had 2600cc), and it had a very good race record, driven by the best drivers of the day, and there it is, driven in the wet. And best of all, the owner of the car in the link I posted likes to drive that car on the road. In fact, in 2012 the owner did a remarkable feat in that priceless car. He drove it from Germany (where the owner lives), through Belgium, France, loaded it to the channel train to UK, then once in the UK, drove it to a race track where he entered it in a historic race meeting, raced it there, WON the race, and once the race meeting is finished, drove it back home again!

[@JorgeOliveira-ow5uu]

​@@mick0846 You might have your grievances with that particular car, but that might well depend on whether proper service and maintenance was given or not. Regardless, even if what you say is true and you got a defective unit, that doesn't mean all Alfa's are rubbish or that it's something exclusive to that brand. All car manufacturers have problems and defective units as well as good cars. What you commented was indeed false and cliché. It's a popular norm to say Alfa's are unreliable or rust away, based on false perception. Alfa Romeo did have problems in the past, but it learned from it. Go check reliability index of today's cars and see for yourself.

[@mick0846]

I'm not talking about brand new cars hence why we are watching Jay Lenno's garage. I'm talking in general and about my experience with alfa's and everyone else's their are clichés for a reason, alfa's did rot! and where not built very well throughout a period of time . Fact!... you only have to look at the depreciation values of them. They might be built better than anything on the market today but its going to be a long time before they loose the reputation

[@terribelbliss9646]

I love double clutching too. In college I was a bus driver at Umass. We had some older school buses that we used for local field trips. One could only be double clutch driven. I took it whenever they would let me, it was the most awful riding, noisiest old thing and a handful to drive. But I found it fun, and I think it made me a better driver. Thanks Jay.

[@MsLilyhorse]

I drove a lot of dump trucks back in the day. Double clutching and no brakes makes you a much better driver.

[@TheRealPaul527]

***** We have a small fleet of delivery vehicles. There's this one car nobody would drive. It had no a/c, no power locks, crappy radio and it was beat up. I loved it. It had nimble handling, better acceleration, better gas mileage, better gearbox, and better engine sound than the brand-new models that came in. I miss it. They got rid of it 'cause it was "outdated". Shame.

[@a.j.swierzbinski6225]

Terri Bel Bliss the one that you had to double clutch, is that a Crown Supercoach you were mentioning?

[@grob318]

Actually it is better and easier to not use the clutch at all. I used to drive a 58 Mack dump truck with a 5 speed main and a 4 speed aux. Split shifting both trannies at the same time... no clutch. Down shifting like that is just about an art form.

[@varanid9]

Of all of these videos that I've seen, I've never seen Jay as exuberant about driving the subject vehicle as he is in this one. Even the camera work is amazing. I didn't even know it was possible to recreate an old car this way. What an awesome work of art.

[@moizboiz]

Jay Leno, this is a great service you are doing to humanity buy showcasing vehicles of all era's, your personal and show cars. have a long life

[@TheFaatiligas]

This was very cool. I learned recently the my Grandfather, Tore Berg, in Sweden raced cars and the Monza was one of his cars. He was an engineer and raced for the love of it, but never really talked about it to my father. I have been doing research on his car and racing for my Dad's 70th, and this video will be a real treat for him. Not sure if it is sacrilege, but he did modify his with 4 rear back tires for a mountain road race. I believe he won. Thank you! There is a great (expensive) book about the Monza and I saw on posts that there is a pic of my grandfather. I would love to see it,

[@davephillips5868]

I have seen pictures taken back in the day of factory Auto Unions with the same modification for mountain road races. Your grandfather would have been aware of this.

[@JackOSUrulz]

Most amazing sounding car I have heard in awhile. Yeah, there’s plenty that sound “cool” and have a rumble, but that whine, that exhaust note, the sight of it....it’s easy to see why Jay just kept quiet and sort of let the car speak through a good part of that ride on camera... It has a lot to say.

[@deerlord2363]

Around 65% of Argentines have Italian roots. There were more people who came from Italy than from Spain to Argentina, making up a total of 40-45% of its immigrant population (against about 30% from Spain), making culture in Argentina mostly influenced by Italians. Even the name, Argentina, is Italian and it means 'made of silver'. Also the spanish spoken in Argentina sounds more Italian than Spanish.

[@505197]

Schluesselmensch I was sitting here thinking Jano had a good look at a Miller motor before he designed his engine. But Miller had a good look at the Peugeot engine before he designed his stuff. And honestly I wonder if Leo Gossen wasn't the inspired one of the group. Engineers were stealing from one another back then, and still are I suppose. I read somewhere that Bugatti bought two Miller race cars and pretty much copied the engine for his race car. I'm not much on hot rods, but I'd love to have one with a Miller or an Offy in it. Just think of the money you'd save on head gaskets.

You don't realize how difficult it is for some people to solder, I spent 7 years trying to teach Jr HS kids how to solder, some people just don't get it, that's why the electrical codes now specify a mechanical connection.

[@OrangeCrusader]

I was surprised to see that, you'd expect at least a halfassed lineman's splice/some twists for $4-500k, not that mess.

[@Lucia-kk4kn]

And the paintjob is awful on this particular model...

[@Fluterra]

John could be more...”dynamic”... he sounds bored.

[@gregshamieh6339]

What a absolutely glorious noise! If I'm not mistaken, this was the same model car that was the last race car driven by Sir Henry 'Tim' Birkin, who was famous for his development of the Supercharged Bentleys. Tim placed third in a GP, reached to the left side to accept his cigarette case, and badly burned his arm on the exposed exhaust pipe which was covered in lead residue from the racing fuel. Several weeks later the blood infection killed him.

[@jcgabriel1569]

No, Sir Henry Birkin raced a Maserati 8C-3000. The exact same car he drove in that race still exists, owned by Evert Louwman and displayed in his museum in the Netherlands...

[@TRAMBUSTO88]

Astonishing!! I'm hearing my heart pumping passion. Proud of this italian masterpice! Thanks Mr.Leno!!

[@chetabumposess09]

The gear changes take half an hour though

[@CharredSteak]

Yeah. If you really know what you're doing, you might be able to do it faster

[@g.stephens263]

Straight cut gears and no synchromesh, thus Leno referencing "double clutching"..

[@stefandewilde3612]

Man sells $500k cars for a living and doesn't know how to pronounce "Mille Miglia"... 😕

[@firefightergoggie]

Unimportant. Irrelevant.

[@wgoslin688]

+Stefan de Wilde He knows how to pronounce, meelie, meelya. He doesn't, because it is considered bad manners to do so.

[@stefandewilde3612]

+W Goslin Since when is it bad manners to pronounce something correctly?

[@wgoslin688]

+Stefan de Wilde I can't help you.

[@linguatonica9782]

+W Goslin only ignorant people may consider bad manner such a thing.Is it an American thing, with no offense meant?

This is Jay's True Niche!!! I wish his garage gave tours to the public! I love this show!

[@Redmenace96]

That sound is a supercharger whine. Had a motorcycle with a supercharger, nothing like it in the world. Many moderns have superchargers, but you are insulated from the mechanicals. On a bike, and in this Monza open cockpit you get the full effect. Never heard of this company, nor the replicas. Jay is right! A bargain at any price..... O. And second, this is a replica of a race car? With lights and mirrors? I know they are easily removed, but point of history: Did they race with them like that? (rules) or did they race them and also flog them for sale to the public? 1932, who knows? Third, I"ve been clicking on JL garage for 10 years..... never caught this one. Fantastic video!!

[@kirkconway]

one of the best soiunding engine's ever made, smooth throaty, powerful. music to my ears, incredible,

[@Cyps36]

What a sound! It would surely make you forget about every thing else, nothing but the road ahead with an amazing sound track. Stunning!

[@BikeronaTrek]

I've watched this video so many times, this is bellisimo! I hope i'm spelling that right. What a magnificent auto, never take this video down!

[@thefirstbushman]

I only discovered this car after researching the one in tin-tin when I was a kid and now I can't stop watching these classic race car and bike videos

[@trappenweisseguy27]

That supercharger whine is very addictive.

[@ColeSai]

In my opinion this has to be one of the coolest cars you've shared on the show! And it's soooo far from my typical taste and circle of knowledge! Thanks for uploading!

[@ckboy221]

you would think jay leno would feel like he was born in the wrong era. but he has the best of new and old school. great appreciation for all cars. someone i really admire.

[@UberLummox]

It's excitement resonates through the vid like very few race car videos I've seen. THANKS!
