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.

Im an old guy now (61) and often I prefer re-watching some of the older movies like the train, movies had a different feel back then, no CG hardly any special effects compared to today and they just had a different feel if anyone knows what I mean. 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.

[@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

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.

[@alexbrown1995]

We love you Jay Leno I have been watching you since the mid-1980s and you really found your stride when you found this channel you were good and everything you’ve done but the worlds really appreciate you in this channel when you highlight so many wonderful cars

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Love it

[@jerrystepp1726]

I must say Jay Leno is a rich or wealthy man but yet he’s always been blue collared at heart just a simple humble All American treasure.

[@terencefield3204]

Exquisite. I rode in one when new in 1965 at my father's factory. Lovely. I have wanted one ever since. Never mind.

[@chatboxofraelynn5134]

Thank you so much for your comment and support♥️ . I appreciate. Send me a private email on [e-mail]

[@ericpreviti9572]

anyone else get really excited when they saw that old black 6-series at 24:40?

[@toddcaspersen8041]

I think that might have been the camera car

[@garyx5x]

@@toddcaspersen8041 no way they’re using a shark as a camera car! It would be cool though. This is a nice one, camera car is like a silver suv.

[@justinlantz7523]

Just as he was about to scoff at lesser cars, Lol.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Yessssss

[@jordan101197]

Jay let his rich-ness slip thru, “feels like you’re sitting in your library”. I know he doesn’t act like he’s not rich. It was just funny.

[@JaredConnell]

I think that was the joke. If you own a Rolls you likely own a library too.

[@SelfReflective]

What's the point of being in showbusiness for 30 years if you can't afford a library in your house? I mean, he was very good at what he did.

[@PeterPaoliello]

Could be worse, could be rich and not have a penchant for books

[@RobertR3750]

You used a double negative. It should have been "he doesn't act like he's rich".

[@jordan101197]

@@RobertR3750 I meant he acts like he's rich

I remember my grandfather had one, hub caps were called embellishers, and the highlight for me was the heated rear window which was a hollow rod that was heated to provide hot air, and my young cousin , was seated in the back and told to touch it to see if it was on. It was and a very satisfying howl ensued. Grampa used to back it out the garage, until he hit the back wall, then roar off! Thanks for the video!!

[@PaulMappud]

1. Great car 2. Great wife, nice to see Jay got his priorities right...

[@ModelA]

THAT is the car I picture when I think "elegant car"!!

[@silvaaanrandom7575]

Oh i found you here

[@golfplaat2]

Strange clock though, really takes you back in time.

[@cadillacstr8mk]

I noticed that also!! I was wondering why it was going backwards .

[@tomastomas75]

Maybe.. the camera really is panning the other way, and that clip actually is played backwards?

[@miguellara2289]

I guess I'm one of the few that scroll down, and reads a few more comments {not all), As usual lots of the same kind of comment. Copy pasted for you. Dan Goertz 9 hours ago I thought the clock was running in reverse at 14:28 until I realized the panning was reversed. 10 Alex Brown Alex Brown 2 hours ago Well spotted - I saw that too :-)

[@HunterShows]

Well played, well played.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

HAHAH

[@trevorkeyes6067]

Always love that style elegant

[@AustinRogers1]

My daddy and I used to look at photos of these in magazines, and drool. I only ever saw one or two in person in a showroom in Nashville, TN in the mid 1980s. The one I drooled over was a brand new convertible. Yellow with light brown or tan leather interior. I could tell it was quality.

[@peterf4552]

That body style is my favorite among the few body styles Rolls Royce has had over the years.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

LOL :)

[@batteryman2852]

21:17 Thats a really cool, vibrant shoot , love the strong colors of the tree leaves and the silver like big luxury car.

[@Sedonalegendhelenfrye]

We loved this video, my husband says he saw them all the time in Hollywood. He had a chance to buy one from someone in Beverly Hills for 50k, but didn't as he heard they were very expensive to maintain. That said, we were devastated over your accident. Hope your recovery is swift!

[@radicaltiestiessen8634]

Jay is a legend.

[@jeroen9637]

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

[@SenorQuichotte]

I lived in Paris when they were filming Ronin, fantastic to watch them making the film.

[@charlescarden3406]

Jays love of all things automotive is contagious never let you husband watch these videos. He will go from not caring about cars to reading about them buying them and driving around just for the sake of driving.

[@cruzmalibu4361]

A great tribute to John Frankenheimer….he’s up in Heaven loving this…thanks Jay 🙏🏻

[@ThaFixMusic]

The interior is amazing. That wood finish.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Totally

Love this car so much! Very luxurious

"You don't drive it fast, you drive it 'swiftly' "... lol. Classic

thanks Jay Leno, what a treat. betcha that's a comfortable ride

[@stever8309]

One of the funniest episodes to date. Great stories. Well done Jay!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Yes!

[@devinneer4784]

ya know jay always talks about the '49 Caddy being the best car in the world when it came out, i'd love to see him do one sometime, just to hear him go into it in more depth... i could listen to this man tell me about the first phone book and be hooked the whole time lol

[@stringer-ik1pc]

Only in America. Them hideous lumps didn't sell anywhere else in the world.

[@epbrown01]

@@stringer-ik1pc So you've never seen a Bentley R-type Continental? Post-WW2 Cadillacs had Europe re-thinking luxury car design - Rolls-Royce/Bentley, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Citroen were all terrified of the brand. We got a lot of good cars out of it. And I say that as someone who's not a fan of the marque (I like Lincolns from that era).

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

For me, the Silver Cloud III is the most beautiful Rolls ever built.

[@elijahcollier8348]

Frankenheimer's 'Ronin' had the best car chase ever with the e34 M5. Watched it a million times
