1929 Bugatti Type 40 - Jay Leno’s Garage

Also, the picture of Bob next to the Type 37a was taken at Laguna Seca sometime in the 90s afterr he finally got it rebuilt and running again. I remember it took him a long time to do that, so it was a big deal when he was able to get it up and running.

At nearly 230 kph, there was little left to be done. I wouldn't say that Jean mas more gifted than his father. Ettore was always improving on his cars. In the mid 10's, his engines had overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, transaxel gearbox, trailing arms, extremely precise steering...etc In 1922, following Hispano-Suiza, he went for hydraulic brakes for his new 3liter straight 8 type 28. However, they encountered problems with the tubing failing under breaking pressure. As the brand was doing wonders in races and the cars sold well throughout the world, Ettore decided to focus on supercharging his new straight 8 and stated "My cars are meant to roll not to stop !"

Certainly not your typical "brat pack era" up and coming star. I'm sure he likely has a substantially valued N.Y.C. apt. and probably wherever his custom motorcycle shop is but I've also read and heard that he gets around N.Y.C. by subway, often alone.

You are correct. Each of these cars Jay has a story because he got them himself. He remembers all the details of how he got it and why its important. He knows he's just a temporary care taker of these wonderful machines; case in point he's only the third owner of this Bugatti. He's done just enough to bring it back to great working condition and only added items for safety or longevity of these vehicles. These videos are the best because they are so personal to him. Heck he has a little memorial to the man who found these vehicles that he bought them from. He bought this Type 40 nearly 40 years ago and still remembers what it was then and how it's a parts bin special from Bugatti and why that's special to have.

Thanks so much for finding a way to continue providing us with content- this new style is really nice.

02:18 "I bought a few Bugattis from him"... Who but Jay Leno could ever say that? 😏

[@SendingStache]

Thank you so much for preserving the history of this hobby. Dunlap might not have been known to so many of us, were it not for you. It brings me so much joy to know a man dedicated his life to a type of vehicle and that legacy continues thanks to your passion for not only collecting and preserving automotive history, but sharing it with us. Top notch.

[@raceday-iy7vm]

Your doing a great job with the camera by your self jay🖒

[@tracyc2695]

I’m so glad you’re going back and revisiting the pre-KZbin cars! Keep ‘em coming!

[@joelhenderson4450]

“Wow a Rambler Ambassador!” Says the guy DRIVING A BUGATTI.

[@mikevale3620]

...and a vintage Bugatti at that; worth more than I'll ever earn in my lifetime!

[@rossdoucet725]

Thank you Mr. Leno for showing us another classic car. I look forward to your weekly videos . Till then take care and god speed.

[@eldiablo8019]

Jay : I've had this car for oh about 40 years. Then later : I've never put the top down, but maybe some day I'll put it down. Some how I doubt that Jay. :=)

[@SirVic42]

Still waiting for that perfect day in SoCal....

[@ncmartinez_his]

I think the biggest value of your videos, Jay, is that they make me curious to know more about vehicles and brands I've never thought about before. Thank you again for continuing to entertain and educate me and so many others.

[@bradgilpin9740]

Jay literally could be reviewing a Chevy Caviler and I would be intrigued!

[@genestatler2514]

Jay, you are just a great guy and I like any car you want to show us. Thank you.

[@RJ-787]

Love how the older Jay gets, the more he loves/appreciates the older cars :)

[@The_ZeroLine]

With age comes wisdom. Though I am still in my 30s, the cars I get keep getting older and older. Other than a tow vehicle, not one of my six cars is from the 21st century. While the new cars are wildly fast, they feel like driving a logitech sim setup. And 99% of the people who drive them, don’t have the talent let alone the opportunity to get within a mile of being able to drive them to their maximum potential which is where all the fun comes in. It’s also how you build your skill.

[@timraber6575]

I have never heard Jay say how came up with his closing clip, but I look forward to the ending of each video. There is something about the drive into the garage, sound of the horn, wine of the transmission, on that car that just makes me happy. I must watch each video through to the end just to see and hear that honk. Thanks Jay for just great videos........

[@iknklst]

"It's a fun car to drive." 76 mph top speed carving through the the back canyons with mechanical drum brakes doing the stopping might be better described as terrifying.

[@marvindebot3264]

And the time of your life.

[@iknklst]

@@marvindebot3264 However short that may be! Seriously though, when owning and driving an older vehicle with mechanical limitations compared to modern vehicles, the person usually knows what the vehicle can and cannot do and drives it accordingly. I own a 1956 Triumph Thunderbird that can absolutely do 100mph, and also has mechanical drum brakes that are woefully inadequate. When twisting the throttle I always drive with that thought in mind.

[@juansequeirabaquero1780]

Imagine driving your car down the street and Jay Leno gives you a thumbs up! Boy you are doing things right. Also, Jay is the quintessential man with his ear to the ground, He’s got so many cars that when he got them were cheap and now have so much automotive significance and value.

[@ROTTBOXX]

I wonder the total value of Jay's collection? To me priceless.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Over or at least 52 million according to Google.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

His McLaren F1 alone is in the 8 figure range.

[@ROTTBOXX]

@@TheInsaneShecklador I was going to say. That may be close to 20 mil alone. I just looked it up. The last one that sold at auction sold for 19.8 mil. So its probably worth more now

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

@@ROTTBOXX A quick google search showed a Bugatti Type 40 for sale for over 1/2 a million and Jay said this is one of his cheaper Bugattis. I think Jay owns around 300 cars so. Even if they averaged only 100k each that would still be 30 mil. I'm guessing the collection is an easy 50 mil and that's not even including all the motorcycles.

[@172-e5s]

@@TheInsaneShecklador No you're wrong...he still has all ten fingers.

[@rpdobbler]

Am I crazy for just wanting to hug Jay and hang out with him for an afternoon? Good God I love the guy...the passion he has for everything Automobile is intoxicating

[@jimellison6157]

Jay. Ford didn’t adopt hydraulic brakes until 1939. Just thought I’d let you know. Also, I really like Jay Leno’s garage.

[@bobs8005]

I’ll speak on behalf of Mr. Leno: Jay thanks you.

[@Jibbahrish1]

Thank you for taking the time Jay. Truly enjoy the love you put into it-

[@Deftonesdsm]

My dream is to build a bugatti "style" 20s race car. Like a type 35/37 race car built from scratch/donor parts. Since ill never even afford a persang replica bugatti. Only way to drive a 20s style race car is to build it

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

Deftones Dsm. Good luck. Hope we get to see the end result one day soon.👍

[@siffoine]

Not sure if it's cheaper to buy one from pur sang or build one by yourself :)

[@Deftonesdsm]

@@siffoine well it wouldnt be exact like pur sang if i build it. Itll likely use more modern engine and other donor parts. That makes it much much cheaper. Just want the feel of what it was like to race in 20s

[@maxcactus7]

Absolutely GORGEOUS car, Jay! Thank you so much for sharing your car collection, your knowledge and your stories with us! Thank you, too, for preserving so much automotive history and knowledge.

[@cjmarsh504]

That's interesting with the holes going through the oil pan🤔🤔🤔

[@jameslalumandier9797]

I am a diehard "car 😢 well as a historian so it comes to no surprise that I love Jay's passion, knowledge, and epic car stories. Comedians, almost by definition, are great story tellers and Jay is certainly no exception. He has a remarkable way of discussing the technology and mechanisms of these cars in a way that is interesting, as well as, descriptive for layman viewers. He rides that cusp of what's unique to that car without digressing too much. I love his channel. I can't wait for his new videos to come out while, in the meantime, I search his history/library for the gems he has made so many of in the past.

[@captainwre]

"the least expensive bugatti" is a funny statement.

[@bobs8005]

He meant when it was produced it was the least expensive. Now it’s crazy expensive

[@captainwre]

And at that time "the least expensive bugatti" im sure was still a funny statement to the 99%.

[@Lesterandsons]

Just cheap pieces for low cost😊 Beautifully simple design. Love the sound of the engine.

[@MSW_8679]

Probably one of my favorite Bugatti's I've seen so far. I really like the roadster look.

[@AdamHarrisonEros]

I want a version of Top Gear that stars Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and Steve Martin.

[@karmatt3098]

Does anyone else like Jay Leno’s videos? I can’t get enough!

[@epistrophicality]

Leno, Seinfeld, and Tim Allen ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
