Private Car Cave Garage Tour - One woman's £1m Toyota, Jag XJ220 and 40 others

[@Damien-bi6ng]

“After the orgasm…”😅 What a character! Sweet sweet lady! Although the cars are super interesting, the owners are just as fascinating. Great video Jonny, one of the best car cave videos to date, imo.

Thank you for letting the lady speak without interruptions. You come across as a friend. Good presenting.

I think he'd be great with a few other prominent youtubers if they resurrect Top Gear. If they do, ditch the forced laddish BS, make it about the cars again and make it fun to be about the cars. It went downhill about halfway through the Clarkson era as it became too much about the hosts and their banter.

I DEMAND MORE JANE! How's about a once monthly video 'Jonny & Jane go to Shelsey'. Bare with me. The two of you pick a random set of keys from a bucket and Jane drives whilst telling us all about the car, the driving experience, and the back story, then punts it up the hill? YT gold right there. You're welcome 😀

Does anyone else want to spend an afternoon in this ladies presence to just hear her stories, let alone see all that emotive collection of vehicles! Well done Johnny I know you said this has been on the books for a long time, but I feel if it hadn’t the quality of the film wouldn’t be there, your style and grace whilst talking to her and in awe of the metal is beautiful, thank you so much for creating this for everyone to see.

[@u3192]

i agree 😂 went from hmmm , what a strange individual . to dreaming of sitting drinking coffee with her in deep conversation . what an absolutley wonderful Human . best regards

[@winconfig]

What I'm going to say may sound condescending but it's actually a compliment. This older woman being proactive and providing 3D scans of her vehicles is one of the most progressive things. I've seen a private collector do relative to her age. I am very impressed and pleased her knowing what 3D scanning is and its value in the automotive world. I am absolutely shocked in all the most polite and humorous ways.

[@laurat1129]

Just discovering this months later, and Jane w/her cars (and dogs) is my hero. It's one thing to preserve cars in a museum to show and teach the public, but what she said here about collectors: 7:20 "They go from investor to investor, and they never leave a garage..." It's sort of like keeping horses in stables, never letting them out to pasture or run.

[@mrharry8466]

Watched this 6 times now and I still think she's a fabulous woman. What a dream collection. Fabulous.

[@colinstewart1432]

She's pretty awesome. Knows her stuff and drives everything. Brilliant. 👍

[@samholland7793]

Watching this reminds me of my mum who is about her age. She used to rally Austin Healey 3000s and 100s in the 70s. She then went on the daily an Old 442 in the UK during the fuel crisis and later sold it for a xj12. My mum and dad met because of there obsession with P6 estates and if it wasn’t for that love of cars I wouldn’t be here today. She sadly passed when I was young and thanks to you I’ve been reminded of her passion. Thanks Jonny 👍

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Thank you for this heartfelt comment. Wow, your late mum had car taste. P6 estates? That's one of Jonny's bucket list classics...

Where did the money come from?

[@jhm.1]

I would pay to watch a series of Jane driving and reviewing her collection. I bet it'd be just like old school Top Gear, real information but proper enthusiasm

[@jeffers1104]

I had my Celica GT-Four on the Toyota Enthusiasts Club stand at the NEC about 5-6 years ago. Jane's 2000GT was parked behind mine and the amount of interest it got was unbelievable. It was as if all the other cars weren't there. And to top it off it was driven home like it was just any other classic. Not a transporter in sight. Brilliant.

[@neiloakley-j4j]

What an extraordinary lady, a real gem. A wonderful down to earth car collector, with a passion to not only own an mixture of fabulous cars, but gets them out on the road to. Brilliant, thanks Jonny and thank you Jane Weitzmann.

[@Roostertail71]

I was lucky enough to be shown round this collection a couple of years ago by Jane when she hosted a few of us one day. Her genuine enthusiasm and passion is infectious and as I live about 3 miles away I am lucky enough to see some of the collection being used as intended. Absolute legend.

Car Royalty indeed!!! Fantastic Lady with an Astonishing Car Collection!! I sat at my computer with a coffee as I do every Sunday to watch a few videos. As I'm fond of The Late Brake Show, I clicked on the thumbnail and watched jaw a gape as iconic car after car was paraded before my eyes, much to the detriment of my now ice cold coffee. I believe that this automotive Goddess should be 3-D scanned so that if anything should happen to her, God forbid, that she can be repaired and put right again! Thank-you Jonny, and a Tremendous Thank-You to Jane Weitzmann the V12 Lady!!!

[@bluetitan20]

Damn Jonny...this is I think its safe to say one of your best videos yet!! Jane is an absolute star, I could listen to her talking about her cars, and their back stories and history, all day long. Jane, obviously is such a car fanatic, her knowledge would put many fella's to shame, and is so humble about it all. I'd say, you didn't manage to even get to every one of the cars either, looked to be a Cayman GT4 hiding down the back as well.

I’ve still got the memory and one pre smart phone grainy photo. Thanks Jane! (Great episode Jonny).

[@rs48635]

I am lucky to have been volunteering alongside Jane at several NEC events, including those where XJ220 rides were for sale. Needless to say the chat was just regular car nerd stuff, no private jets of luxury car transporters. Jane had reported "bit of wheelpin in 3rd and 4th" to her expert mechanics from Don Law racing @donlawracing8577. They asked if that was "back in the summer" and were (apparently) horrified to hear it was today, in pi$$ing rain at the NEC. Their advice was "park the car". @janeweitzmann7979 you are a true one off, but still just another car nut after all.

[@weyboi]

What a fantastic lady. I’ve had a number of classic cars though now just down to the one. However, I began my interest at the age of 13 when my parents gave me an old Austin A35 to drive around on private land. My mother who was a rally driver taught me to drive and a bit like this lady, when I turned 17 I was allowed to drive my Mothers XJS V12, something of an upgrade from a 948cc Austin! My mother is now 84 and still a very capable, competent driver, her daily runner now being a BMW 530 sport.

What an inspiration Johnny. She was lovely to listen to and was very matter of fact, but with an enthusiasm you could feel. It would have to be the LM002, the GT40 and the amphicar for me, but I also love the XJ13, the 2000GT and that Toyota Landcruiser rig, Fantastic!

[@Cemi_Mhikku]

The BMW 2002 is really a car you don't fully appreciate until you've driven one. I bought one to have something a bit more fun - have something for *me* for once instead of just something practical - and I've fallen deeply in love with her. And as a bit of a tall girl who hits her head on big bumps in most cars, I can confirm that they're surprisingly roomy. First car in years that I haven't bonked my head getting in and out of. Mine's a '75, and her stablemate is an '88 Volvo 240. Some previous owner at some point converted her to a pair of DCOE 40s and she's just an absolute blast this way.

[@richardmmoulds]

Great video Jonny. I saw the 2000GT at the NEC a few years back. The owner wasn't around but a chap showing in the same area told me of the mystery woman with the £1m Toyota who drove it to Birmingham, parked up, locked it and then just wandered off to look at everything else. All power to Jane. A great attitude towards classics 👍

This lady made the exact statemant that i have made about exotic cars for fifty years . If you cannot , or will not drive it , then get a great master to paint it at a one to one scale and worship it in a different manner . Car collecting , for the sake of collecting , is like wine collecting . You never get to experience the point of the collected piece . I understand the mentality of rich behaviour , i have had and lost money . This lovely lady is a breath of fresh air . I hope to one day meet her , by some quirk of fate and congratulate her in person . Bravo , le joi de vivre .
