I've been watching Jay for several years. And I swear he's got to be the most humble rich person I have seen. The fact that he's so in tune with vehicles, reminds me of my Father. Even though he wasn't wealthy, he had a great appreciation for well built cars. Jay is going to leave a legacy for future car enthusiasts to reflect on. I probably won't ever own the collection that he has acquired. But it is nice to watch him explain how these vehicles were instrumental in changing history.

[@cousinjack2841]

I grew up in Cornwall; I was still in single digits in the 1960's. My dad had a local garage, services provided included fuel, repairs, taxi service, wedding and funeral vehicles. He had a couple of old Austin Hearses and a 1936 Rolls Royce, which he had found under a dustsheet on a local farm; a real barn find. Part of his job was that if a holiday maker died on holiday, he would repatriate the bodies to their home. I went with him on one such trip in the Rolls. Through all the winding and bendy lanes of Cornwall, we were being tailgated by some bloke in a mark one Ford Cortina who seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. He overtook us when we hit some dual carriageway, but you should have seen his face when we sailed past him at 100mph shortly afterwards. I spent hours playing in that Rolls as a kid; and appreciated the bodywork, leather and the wood even then. Great memories. (Rolls Royce's do not break down; they simply fail to proceed.)

Hey Jay, Always loved Rollers. One July Sunday morning 1978, me and the fam are comin' back from the market when the wife says "THERES A ROLLS ROYCE and they look like their in trouble". This was one of those oil trouble times and there were NO service stations open for miles. We went back and it turns out the the car had a flat tire. This car was one of those great old early thirties grand touring cars for the lords and ladies. The owner had a spare but no jack and being 1978 no cell service either. I told the guy I would be right back and bring a jack. Me and the boy ( 4 years old) came back, helped him with the tire change and then he told me and my son to get in and he took us for a ride and left his three passengers at the side of the road in the sweltering heat. How cool was that? We were gone for about ten minutes and then returned to retrieve the strandee's. Great adventure. regards, Giovanni

Just another well done Jay Leno show. I have owned and repaired many. When set up properly any Cloud from 56 to 65 stops just like a new car and rids as smooth as a new car. Handling?

I had a 59 Cloud I I drove all over the east coast on interstates. Even 80 MPH with no problems. Every part on these cars is reparable. You need new shocks? You remove them and rebuild them!

Todays movies have more eye candy but the core plot is often contrived and weak, the plot of the train grew from the WWII era when Hitlers henchmen were literally raping and pillaging europe stealing priceless works of art, gold from banks and so on.

Funny Rolls Royce story. A friend of mine when I was very young had the Cat dealership on the Darling Downs of Queensland. When he was an apprentice Hastings Deering sent him out to a sheep station in Western Queensland. Guy picked him up at the air port in a Rolls, a really old rolls with a million miles on the clock. That was his farm ute. Had to shift some rabbit traps off the front seat and throw them into the back seat on which sat a sheep that had been half eaten by a Dingo. Turns out that the guy was the station owner. He bought the Rolls because it was the most reliable vehicle he could get and he was a days drive from the nearest mechanic. He could afford a Rolls because Australia as the saying goes was riding on the sheep's back. Wool was a pound a pound and Oz supplied the world with high quality fleece. Sheep farmers were the oil tycoons of the day.

Ahh, Wedding Cars. Had the pleasure of driving multiple Weddings in the different Cloud iterations, both V8 and Straight 6 - the slight lag when this one started is very familiar. And yes, the Sixes are extremely smooth. Having taken one of the IIIs out for an extended ride on an Interstate, I'd say the upper limit of comfortable speed is more like 80 - cannot imagine trying to take one anywhere close to 100. The ride is so comfortable, that close attention to the speedometer was needed, simply for the lack of feeling of speed via the feel. A unique driving experience. The term 'adequate' is certainly a bit of British understatement.

A V8 engine is more smooth than a 6 cylinder by a country mile. Hence why Rolls developed their own V8. It effectively meant the car could more efficiently derive its power with so little effort. A 6 cylinder is far smoother than a 4 cylinder and was the happy medium for many european cars. Where I think 6 cylinder really comes in on its own is in sports cars.

When I was a kid in the 1960s THAT was my dream car. What a beauty.

Thanks Jay ! Always a great show !

Thank You so very much for making this video and honoring this couple and this outstanding automobile.

[@Carfeu]

I used to draw this car as a kid. For me this is Roll Royce

[@RobertSmith-le8wp]

That shot of the Rolls grille and flying lady going past the thrift store and McDonald’s at 17:17 was almost artistic

[@stevenr1354]

Lol!!! I had exactly the same reaction. "Let them eat Big Macs!"

[@AtheistOrphan]

Grill.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

@@AtheistOrphan The grill is what you fry things on... the grille is the front of the car which has slats/louvres/mesh/plastic grid through which air moves in order to cool the radiator...

[@HunterShows]

Yeah Jay's always making a "statement" in North Hollywood...

[@seandunn1128]

Thank you Jay. We all take joy in these engagements for a variety of reasons, as you probably do too. That said, your offerings are heart felt and appreciated beyond time and values. Character supersedes both. Peace.

[@timadams5839]

THANK YOU JAY ! I have been waiting years for you to do a video on my favorite Rolls, the Silver Cloud III ! I fell in love with the Silver Cloud III when I was 10 and my parents took us to see Disney's The Love Bug, and there was a Cloud III drophead coupe in the car dealership with other exotics. It awoke the landed English Gentry in this little boy and I have loved them ever since. Thank you for making my week!

[@hannacarter1352]

My father had one just like this one and a silver cloud 1 along with some others. He had seven Rolls but only drove them once in a while. Beautiful cars. This one is one of my favorites.

[@nastybastardatlive]

Pfft. Ronin doesn't even rate.

[@taylorlibby7642]

It's up there on my list, but not for the car chases. #1 for me is still Bullitt.

[@thibaultdubaret9863]

One of my favorite movies is Duel! Not really a car chase, but a great atmosphere

[@clothestravel]

That movie got me into the Audi S8. Beautiful beast of a car that is also quite rare.

[@nathanrosenthal9879]

The "Bullitt" car chase is great but my favorite is in the original "Gone in 60 Seconds". You have to see it to appreciate the ending scene of the chase.

24:42 BMW 635CSi I'll watch and love anything Jay posts, but I would love to see more BMW's on Jay Leno's Garage.

[@cl7510]

Good eye! I’d love to see him feature the 850csi. Someone in a town near where I grew up had one and I’d spot it out and about occasionally. One of my favorite cars from the 90’s.

[@billolsen4360]

Went to test drive one of those in Fresno years ago, the small kidney grill had been dented in quite badly but the rest was perfect. Getting a new grill replacement would have been $2500. Mama MIA!

[@iwb316]

Or possibly a 633CSi

I remember, I was 14 or so as a Boy Scout on a hike in Scotland (I’m from Brussels, Belgium) back in the mid 70’s, really in the middle of nowhere walking with say 3 others on a little road, when this big car comes. So we lifted our thumb to hitch a hike. It was a Rolls Royce with a big nose. Not sure if it was that exact model, but it definitively was a Rolls. Unbelievably, the guy stopped! He wasn’t that old, dressed casually, something like a gentleman farmer, and he drove us to the next town! He spoke French quite decently. The only single moment in my life I sat in a Rolls. True story! Btw « the flying lady » as you call it, is actually named « Spirit of Ecstasy ».

Thanks Jay for another great video! These (almost pandemic style) review videos where you take time to show all details of a car and really take your time are just the best 😃

[@robertchristie9434]

Filled up and hand washed a '62 working at a gas station in Colorado Springs in '68. I vividly remember the sumptuous and luxurious interior and very stately presence. The car just reeked with class. Thanks for the great memory Jay.
