The one thing I’ve always admired about Leno is that he drives and enjoys everything in his collection. So many collector cars just get squirreled away in barnes and garages and never used. It’s refreshing to see a collector who isn’t afraid to take take his cars out and use them as they were intended to be used.

The featured car was the one registered in Englandc as EXK6, now owned by Ralf Loren. It was a blue colour then. I was struck by its sheer elegance, and it has been on my fantasy car-collection list ever since.

Peugeot invented the twin-cam engine (winning the 1913 Indy 500 with it). Bob Burman bought one of the cars and when he couldn't get a replacement engine from Peugeot he got Harry Miller and Fred Offenhauser to build one for him. They learnt valuable info from that engine and were then able to redesign, refine and improve the layout over the years.

I think the activated directional is to alert the camera car where Jay is turning. He mentioned it once after viewers mentioned the stuck blinker on a previous review.

Jay mentioned Harry Miller and the dual overhead cam design. As Jay says later in the video, all the good ideas for early auto engineering originated in France. In fact Miller got the idea for his dual overhead cam design from the 1913 Peugeot Type L3 Coupe de l’Auto Voiturette Racing car. Miller’s designs ended up as basis for the Offenhauser and Meyer Drake Indy engines.

I love these cars. I saw a beautiful Voisin C25 once at an autoshow in Germany and it left such an impression on the young me. That was probably one of the experiences that led me to realize that automobiles can be not only well crafted, engineered or fast and loud, they can be works of art, looking like they are going 100mph while standing still. And that is something special in and of itself and its enough to justify a cars existence.

Interesting note - the 4 chrome buttons on the bonnet/hood aren't decorations. They protect the paint when the bonnet/hood is open. They keep the two panels from rubbing on each other. I thought that was cool when I first realized that. 😎

Had a chance to visit his garage some years ago. It was a Monday. This car was not in its normal corner spot...looked like it had been driven recently. Looked inside and saw a ball cap and what i seem to remember as a Pringles can sitting on the seat. That's what i love...nearly priceless...but he's not afraid to drive them.

It's so much better seeing these cars actually rolling on the street! This gives them so much more appeal than just seeing them in a museum. Thanks for showing us these pieces of art in motion!

This is 100% the most beautiful thing human being ever made and I have ever seen!!! No doubt!!! Just a piece of art!!! When engineering meets art in its best way!!!

Bugatti Type 57, the peak of automotive legend without a doubt. I cannnot wait for that episode !

It's amazing that this car was built in the modern era from the ground up, and how accurate it is to the original. Hand fabricating every little component.

In the 1960s, my neighbor had 2 - 1936 Bugatti race cars. One was red with a racing stripe. The other was covered. He also had a 1936 Bentley supercharged touring car. He drove that around town. Unfortunately, he died in 1967. His son sold the Bentley for college money but, I don't know what happened to the Bugattis. Good Memories.

When I saw the aerolite a few years ago, I thought it was the most beautiful car I’d ever seen…and still do. Thx so much for this Jay. You’re the most informative and accessible car geek on KZread and then some: we owe you our gratitude.

Ralph Lauren's Type 57 was exhibited several years ago at the Cleveland Museum of Art, along with gorgeous Art Deco jewelry and furniture made by other members of the Bugatti family.

Finaly! I've been waiting for this car since you started your youtube Chanel. Its allways been in the background teasing us! I know it's not an orignal, but it's stil a beutifull car. Looking forward to it! Thanks for all the the history leasons! Ps would love to see some steam on your Chanel again soon.😊

It would be so mind bending to see this driving around amongst regular cars today, and I'm sure even more so back in the day. Great that you get it out and about!

Jay, I hope you came one day to fully realice what enormus contribution you have made to the car world by sharing in this channel yours impresive collection. Thank you!

I remember when this channel started and only had a few thousand subscribers. We all loved the seriously high quality and knew how big this channel would get. We love you, Jay!

Leno`s enthusiasm makes me smile.

Type 57SC in the Atlantic body style is my favorite car of all time :) Mad respect that you drive this, I only saw one once in a museum. To see (and hear) this in traffic would blow my mind.

I see subtle things in the '63 to '67 Corvette from it. The split window vanished after '63 but the vestigial spine was there for the entire generation, and the slight cut into the roof for the doors as well.

Jay, it's a stunning car. Thanks for sharing. One point about the car you may not be aware of, or you simply misspoke, the finish on the valve pans is not "Engine Turned". The process used is something called "Hand Scraping" . Typically seen on the ways of mills, and lathes. It's not only beautiful, but functional for getting the metal perfectly flat, and also giving it just enough texture to hold a film of oil. It takes a real master to do that type of work. As an old Machinist turned engineer, these kinds of things are what make me go "WOW!" Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

The best episodes are just Jay presenting the car and driving it, nothing else 😊

Love the fact you drive these cars. Amazing as always thank you Jay.

I always see this car sitting in the corner of the garage. Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Right hand drive. Gorgeous color. Any Bugatti is cool to me.🔥🔥❤️🤑😎🏁

it's one thing to see video of this car standing still. But to see a true enthusiast drive it in traffic is just amazing. Thankyou Mr. Leno.

Thank you Jay! Beautiful car, and you never seem to talk down to your viewers.

So many thanks Jay, it is simply sensational to see it on the show after so many years just as a background beauty.Sounds sublime and the interior is a dream too

I had a white Bugatti hot wheels when I was really little, 3 or 4, and it was the very first car I could identify and name at a glance. even at that age I could tell it was something special.

17:11 I love Jay's dedication to the "old man left his blinker on" trope. Pretty sure he does it in every single video now lmao. Love you, Jay!

Thank you for switching the channel to 4K. The aliasing is also gone. Big big improvement in video quality.

So many lovely things about this magnificent creation. One of the top things for me? The sound of the gear drive for the cams along with the supercharger.. Music of the highest order.

Thanks Jay I always enjoy the videos and they are always informative. I have a 1919 Twin City Tractor that started its production in 1918 that has dual cams and 4 valves per cylinder

All Bugattis, IMHO, are beautiful. I had the pleasure/honour of working on the Guild's rebody of the 1935 Aerolithe concept car, and I would not be ready to install all those rivets again!! What a project! And the skins were all Elektron, too. But, the end result speaks for itself. Art in motion! Thanks, Jay!

Without a doubt one of the greatest cars ever made. I feel so lucky to have been able to work on prewar Bugattis even if I've never seen a Type 57

Jay, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One man's owl is another man's nightingale. Enough said.

That finish on the cam covers is not engine turning but moore pattern hand scraping, an art in itself.

Bad Chad is banging one out a look alike for Jolene. He is working of pictures and doing it all by eye and taking his time doing so. It's quite interesting to follow his build as he is continuously refining the shape and creating something that looks a lot like the original, but given the method for designing it I wouldn't call it a real replica. Still there's so much work in shaping all those panels it takes a very special mind and an impressive set of skills to do it. Time after time I'm amazed at his skills when he free hand complexly shaped body panels and it ends up fitting together. He makes something very complex look way to simple. Note that I'm not on board with all his decisions when it comes to design, but I can't argue with his skills, and the results are way better put together than I would have imagined.

I agree Jay. I saw one in Paris , Ralph Laurens's Black version in the Louvre show when I lived there. Well driven by the original owner! I have to say I love your blue more ! For me its the roof line and riveted fin !
