It is great how Jay Leno drives his cars and not just let them sit and gather dust in a garage. Cars are meant to be driven regardless if is VW or a Ferrari 250 GTO.

This car comes from Windsor, Ontario Canada. In 1989 I worked as a salesperson at a Pontiac/GMC dealership in Windsor . I was outside having a cigarette when a car pull into the dealership and who gets out, none other than Jay himself. He was performing across the river in the state of Michigan (Windsor borders with Detroit Mich) Jay had seen this car advertised in the California auto trader magazine and was planning to stop by the dealership to check out the car when he came to Michigan. This beauti of a car belonged to the owner of the dealership's son who is a friend of mine. The night before Jay came to buy this car, I had been a passenger in the car and we drove around the city and enjoyed the spirit of this car and I have to say that it is FAST!!!!! And if you are ever thinking of buying one, just want to warn you there are no cup holders and no radio, the only music you hear is the sound of that amazing engine and let me tell you, its loud. We drove around for about 20 min till the police were chasing us and we out ran them and pulled into the dealership and straight into the service bay and turned off the lights and watched as the police drove by still with sirens blaring wondering were the car they were chasing disappeared to.lol I'm not making this up. Just thought Id share this memory with you all.

I love the classic lines of this car. Truly a work of art.

what gets me about Jay is his knowledge and history of each car. just that little part of where he says to crack the coolant bleed screw every once in awhile is just mind blowing. the man has hundreds of cars, probably owned thousands over the years and he knows them all, inside and out. Another bucket list item is a tour of his garage.

I have to chuckle a bit at this... There's been a conversation going on around here regarding actors and their credibility. Something about their skills in reciting a script written by someone else and how that "translates into being authorities in other fields..." Jay's comments on car designers feeds right into that same conversation, in that these people actually create something significant with their own imaginations. They actually have significant skills that I admire... a subject worth pondering... especially around election time!

No lies there

In the fall of 1969, as a stone-crazy Italian car fan, I happened to be at the Lambo/Jaguar dealer in Avon, CT one night. My boss's E-type had been giving him fits, overheating (of course) and running rough, so he sent me (22 years old) out to see about it. It was a cool night, crisp, and I heard this ripping 12-cylinder sound from the porte cochere: rip, rip, rip, rip. It was the dealership owner's 16-year old son, at the wheel of a Miura P-400. Rip, rip, rip! Shee-it! I about died of jealousy. ("It has a real light flywheel," somebody explained.) "Won't idle correctly." Sure. Yeah, you betcha.

Everytime I watch Jay Leno's Garage I dont envy, he just love the cars. And he dont mind sharing them with us.

So right. So right Jay. She IS *_beautiful_* . One of the most Drop Dead Gorgeous cars ever made. In the history of automotive engineering and design. I just can't stop looking at it. Anyone got a spare couple of million..?

Jay, thank you for sharing your garage with us. My favourite line is "come back next week and we'll take something else out". You're a real gentleman...

thanx Jay,for bringing us back to our youth,the cars that drove us wild,the cars that we dreamed of driving,its great that you take them out on the road.

Thanks again Jay. What a beautiful and muscular sound from that beast! My Italian Grandfather (a mechanic) would have glowed if I could have just figured out how to get one of these before he was gone. What a beauty.

Not exactly. Other people with his budget have bought a dozen houses and a personal jet. That will limit your pocket money. Jay likes cars ... He has maybe spent some money, but I have a hunch if he needed some, he could sell a couple off. You might not be able to sell the whole collection in one day at auction, at least not if you wanted to get what they were worth, but I think he's not only had a hobby, he's had an investment. He spends money on restoration and maintenance, but... he'll get that back because they're in better condition. The bonus, is he gets to drive and play with them. And he has a reason to still muck about with cameras and microphones and stuff. I wouldn't say he has everything, but he has quite a few of the things he wants. Including the envy of many of us... LOL.

I love Jay's everyman approach and knowledge and love for the subject. Seems like a great guy.

Jay, thanks for sharing your fabulous collection with us.

You have to admire a car that was built to spite Enzo Ferrari , because Ferruccio Lamborghini had the cheek to complain his Ferrari road car had some problems , in person no less . As an aside ,in my home town , a local agricultural machinery supplier , sells Lamborghini tractors , they , like the cars are works of art , making the John Deere and others look average .

I LOVE JAY LENO. I really appreciate his undying interest in automotive history and his collection of fine classic vehicles, engines, and mechanical marvels. He has put a tremendous effort into making his collection visible to the world and the incredible artworks in the hangar museum are just as interesting and deserve acknowledgment of their own. I hope that when Jay passes on - he has made it clear as to what will happen to his collection. Hopefully - it can remain intact and become a self-sustaining entity open for tours and special show events.

Why can't I give this a million thumbs up? Leno delivers this masterpiece in so simple and flawless way. This car in this exact 'arancio arancione' colour was my childhood dream car..and still is.

Jay, meeting you is on my bucket list. I love cars and am new to KZread, but your videos are so addicting. I'm watching them all. Thanks for keeping these beauties out there on the road!

I have to agree with Jay the Lamborghini Miura is a beautiful looking car. I seen one in the flesh recently, which is when you really appreciate it's beauty.

I've been drooling over the Miura SV since I first saw one at an auto show in Toronto when I was about 13. It was purple on top and smoky grey on the lower bodywork.

I have some things in life I'll never stop dreaming of. Up high on that list is visiting Mr. Leno's garage and talk about every single car there with him. Gonna take some weeks though...

So Jay, you ask for comments on the videos. I have to say I REALLY appreciate every one of them. They get me through the northeast winters when there are no car shows to go to and I can't take my car out because it is packed away for the winter. One of the best parts is all the factual information and history you tell about the cars, the makers, designers and how things work on each one. I eat this stuff up. It is great that you have all the bucks to do a car "Right". I envy you in that respect. As you know people like to be able to relate to you as one "Car guy" to another, it's part of the fun. Once in a while I loose that sence of relating when you Inadvertenly put down cars that aren't built so perfect. Many of us are "Old school" in the way that we just don't have the bucks to build the way we wish we could. I have been building my 57 chevy for 9 years and still have a ways to go because......the money comes slow and hard. But I do what I can and still want to be part of the "Car guy" community and not feel like my car is junk. Someone on your post thought it would be great for you to do this as a TV show. I second that idea. Come on Jay.....you got the connections to make it a reality. Thanks for all of the vids. WE LOVE THEM.

April 1, 2022. Jay continues to reference this very car, to anyone who is a guest. David Lee has heard it a hundred times......LOOK at this car, and than realize, Jay keeps it ready to romp anytime.

It really is one of the cars that define "pretty" cars. Gorgeous!

Classic Italian madness I love it beautiful sound

This car, in this same flame Orange colour is one of my earliest happiest memories of toy ownership as a child. Even as a toy among the few I owned the memory of this phenomenon is set in stone.

I would have never known what a car like that sounds like.Amazing! Thanks Jay!!

Thank you for sharing the knowledge and passion with the new generations of enthusiasts.

Dear Jay, Thank you for finally sharing your Miura with us. I'm a fairly young guy and lack knowledge of alot of the classics. I always appreciate knowing more about the roots of some of my favorite cars. I look forward to seeing what you post next time. Keep the dream alive for us younger guys eager to start our own collection. - Thanks Jay

One of my favorite cars ...especially Jay lenos

This is 1 of my 2 dream cars.

Thanks for the ride J. A true classic.

This show is getting better. Love the little edits an the handi cam style commentary in the car.

One of the best cars from that era. ONE LOVE

I saw a Miura going down the street in the mid sixties. Even though it was going slow it made the same gorgeous sound, only at a lower pitch. The dealer that had it was a stone's throw from a Ford dealer with a 428 Cobra in the showroom . I had a hard time deciding which car I liked better. As if it mattered. I couldn't afford either, not even the Cobbra, which the Ford dealer was trying to uload for a "measly" 7 grand. Either car is probably worth high 6 or low 7 figures today.

Love Jays collection but i love the history and his knowledge of his cars ! So interesting

Jay please revisit this car and the other beautiful cars you did in the early days of your show as the picture quality in these early episodes doesn't do them justice!

That was the car I lusted after. I remember buying the Road and Track issue that featured and road tested it. I remember the passage about driving on some California blacktop... "We we driving along at 120 when a 911 came up behind us flashing the lights to pass. I downshifted two gears and left him a spec in the rear view within seconds."

That is my favourite car, I love these videos that jay puts up everyday when I get home it's the first thing I check out! I love the fact that he has an engineers mind too! Keep up the good work!

Love The look and sound , she looks amazing !

One of my favorite cars. Wish there was more about the car and more history about why it was built. Too short for such an amazing car that is so rare to see. I saw one at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix once. Thanks for sharing though.

What a beauty Jay! Thanks for sharing

I love how Jay is so proud of this car.

I agree that this is the most beautiful car. Thanks for the video Jay.

I'm going to say it.....Jay, I'm jealous. Sounds so amazing and looks so beautiful.

Glad that you own this, because most people would not take the time to share this machine with the rest the world as you did.

One of my favourite cars in my favourite colour. Thanks.

I first saw this car when I was about 14 years old. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful car I ever saw. It was red. To this day it is still my favorite car and wished I owned one.

I remember this car in the opening to the film 'The Italian job', the roar of the V12, Matt Monros voice "On days like these" , the location... By the way, a great film too ;)

love the show, Jay.. wonderful passion. Surprised that the Miura is higher than the Ford GT!

What a gorgeous car!
