Yep as a tv show host he was good and everything, but as a car collector he is king. And the fact that he shares his collection with us the viewers, drives his cars like they are meant to be driven, and isnt scared to tastefully modify a lot of these rare and beautiful specimens where other wankers would keep the "correct" and bubble wrap them.

Nathanael Slater hilarious, but watch out. Do give him some actual friends, just saying. I myself grew up as a lonely kid.

My heart races just watching him drive Bugattis. Imagine driving one back when it was new. That would have been a life changing experience.

to hear you say "that its wrong to let these cars sit in a museum and that they should be driven on the road" is fantastic and its great to see you driving each of these old cars and showing us on youtube as most of us would struggle to see otherwise

I grew up in Anderson, IN, a few blocks from a shop that was restoring Bugattis in the 1950s. I passed by the shop every schoolday on my way to school. Back then, Americans had never heard of Bugatti. When I tried to explain to my friends the significance of that shop, they just looked blank at me. I will always regret that I never stopped and talked to the people inside.

This is beautiful Mr. Leno.

Yes, yes! My feelings exactly, it is wrong for the magnificence of iconic vehicles to be wasted in a museum and not to be experienced. It's not that it is wrong to preserve the machine but the point and appreciation of their qualities ability to inspire emotion is lost if they are not permitted to strut their stuff. Art is to be looked at, machines are to be experienced. That is why I can spend so much time watching Leno's Garage, he lets these old icons stretch their legs. It is the closest most of us will ever get to relating those cars to cars as we know them today...... as I drive to work in my Honda Civic financed over 84 easy monthly payments.

@PatKittle

5 жыл бұрын

People take their Honda Civics for granted when in fact they are better engineered than any Bugatti, past or present.

As a boy, I looked at photographs and dreamed about cars like this hoping, maybe one day I'd actually get to see one. But, never did I think I'd get to see one run - and hard. Usually, with historic machines like this, worth so much, owners might start it or move around just above idle to show it off - making me feel terrible. What a pleasure it was to see this thing run as intended. Thank you, Mr. Leno.

I hope more people adopt jays philosophy of actually driving these cars, and sharing the experience. it's just amazing how much more you can learn by the noise, and the steps taken to even get it started. naturally if it's a one of a kind, well...it should still be driven, just maybe very very rarely hehe. I love seeing the polished areas people would normally ignore or pan away from, seeing the stitching, and the way people solved problems we don't even see as an issue today, like leather straps to hold the hood down, wire (omg!) that actually connects the body to the chassis..wow. just wish we had smell o vision ;)

Nothing could be cooler! And to see it getting driven as it was designed to do!

13:47 "I think it's wrong to let these cars sit in a museum ... because you miss the point of them ... it's exciting to hear them and smell them and feel them run." This is why I love Jay Leno. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

"The handling is really fantastic!" I bet it is! And, oh, the sound! Pure music! Thanks Jim, and thanks, Mr. Leno!

The sound - exquisite.

This has to be one of my fav's Jay! You can really tell how much you love it. It's an incredibly beautiful machine with an amazing sound. Indeed, imagine this in 1928!!!

Jay! I have no words for how thankful i am that you take care of a car like the 37A. Drive it like it was meant to, instead of letting her die in a museum. And your smile, while doing it, so happy to share! Thank you!

Well over 1,000,000 dollar Bugatti and Jay does the right thing.... he dives it in modern day traffic... like it was meant to be... my man Jay.... well done !!!!

The Bugatti coupe in the corner of the garage would look fantastic out on the road. Some day, I hope. What incredibly excellent videos coupled with interesting information. Thank you.

i love these videos, 1928 Bugatti sounds gnarly

That is just, I don’t know how to describe it , just love it. It’s like a fine Swedish watch combined with chesterfield furniture and metal art. I told ya, I don’t know how to describe it.

Wow that really sounds amazing. Can't believe its almost 100 years old

amazing...1928! Jay, you bring this stuff alive. Respect Sir!

Superb video Jay. I never realised how truly tiny those Bugattis were

Every bolt, metal panel and leather bit on that car is pure art.

One of the best cars Jay has. Reminds me of my Caterham.

Thanks for the ride along Mr. Leno! You think like I do in that it's a crime to let these cars just sit and never be driven. My father and I mess around with old international harvester tractors and we try to use all of them in the field as often as possible. Our oldest horse is a 1929 22-36 and let me tell u its areal trip to hand crank that puppy to life! Cheers!

That is a nice sounding 4 banger. It looks so cool being shifted from the outside.

I like to think that after Jay has passed on someday that his garage will live on as a national treasure. What a fantastic collection of cars and memories he has acquired. I really enjoy that the cars have a story, from owners, to races, to engineering feats. His garage is literally like and automotive time capsule and the best part of it all is they're all still living artifacts that run and drive. God bless you Jay Leno, you are a true legend of car culture and history.

I don't think that I've ever seen Jay Leno as reverential about a car as he was about this one. His closing statement that he hoped a future owner would remember him as a guy "who took good care of it [the car]…" was touching and heartfelt.

"We're here in the Bugatti room." I wish I could say that...

All of "us auto enthusiasts", will forever remain in debt to Mr. Leno. There are many "car collector's", but, only Jay Leno "shares his passion so often & unreservedly" with "us"! We all dream of these wonderful rolling masterpieces of human work, knowing that we'll never be so fortunate, as to actually being the caretaker of them. Mr. Leno let's us, just for a few all-to-short moments, "sit in the driver's seat, and realize those dreams"!

Wow, amazing drive. Jay is a master at driving those incredible cars, surely takes ability and courage to drive the way he does.

i can see this vídeo all the day, that car is just, amazing ..

Jay's videos on these very special cars are a treasure.

"...it's wrong to let these things sit in a museum.... you miss the whole point!" TOTALLY! jay, you're my hero

Love your channel, Jay❤️ Greetings from Siberia😉✋

Absolutely bloody wonderful!! Given the opportunity to own a Bugatti, I would take something like this over a Veyron or any car from the later company.

That engine looks like it was sculpted. Beautiful! I prefer the old Bugatti's over the modern ones. These old bugatti's are real pieces of art. One other great thing is, that Jay Leno drives this work of art in the way it was meant for. Not keeping it away in a showroom, but just driving it on the road and not too slowly, LOL!

So amazing that the provenance has been so detailed and well preserved. The car really has that sound. Can’t explain it, just has it.

love that car jay very cool . and the post drive hair doo to. keep these vids coming! you have my upmost respect and attention thanks heaps aye!!!

Old is gold

Watching this episode as well as many others for probably the hundredth time (just finished the 55 Mercedes-Benz 300SL gullwing ep. as well.. anyone who is watching this video and has not seen that episode should definitely watch it, oh and the Jag XK120M episode ). Actually all of these shows are great but what I feel is really great is when the car featured is one from Jay's own collection. His enthusiasm for these amazing cars is inspiring, interesting and a lot of fun to watch. It is simply incredible that on one channel we can see anything from this 1928 Bugatti Type 37a to an amazing Lotus Elan 26R to a sweet little Datsun 510 restored by Jay's prop guy (really an amazing Datsun 510, would love to daily drive a 510 like that). It really seems that even though Jay spent his career as a comedian and host of The Tonight Show, his real legacy will be the awesome care and admiration he has for these timeless and beautiful automobiles. So while it may be somewhat belated I would like to say Thank You to Jay the car guy for sharing his real appreciation for these very important pieces of automotive history. Good to know we have this video library as an online museum of sorts. One of my all time favorite channels.

What an amazing sound! Jay is 100% correct -- nothing else sounds like that. And you'd NEVER get to hear it if that car was stuck in a museum somewhere. I love what he says near the end of this video -- you preserve the cars because they're classics, but you still drive them because that's what they were INTENDED to do! Kudos to you, Jay, for actually driving your cars, in addition to preserving many wonderful pieces of automotive history!

F**k watched loads of your films way to go mate running this on the road....superb car.... thanks a million for sharing this Sir!

That sounds is amazing for a 1,5L 4cyl.

That might be the best sounding car I've ever heard. And 1928!? Incredible.
