Hi Jay an english man (77) living in the UK who has also lived in the USA for a few years- i''ve enjoyed your garage u tube videos so much and thank you sincerely for sharing your marvellous collection with the World.I have owned/ ridden the Vincents.,a Velocette Venom,Douglas Mark V ( and a Triton briefly) also a nice number of cars including Austin Healey ,TR4A all of which I have loved deeply. Your comments and knowledge of your cars and bikes is spot on ,deep and again I thank you for sharing with us all.Your knowledge of Bugatti and Hispano Suiza has helped me understand them so much more. Thanks again and long may you continue Sincerely Graham Whittaker
Jay is a billionaire and is by far the more developed car freak, and Adam is merely a multi-millionaire--but Adam has by far the more track time than Jay, and is more of a competitor, I would like to see them bring their fastest car to a track and I think Adam would hold his own very well at a racetrack.
A new found respect for Adam Corolla, he is knowledgeable. That color is "Medium Metallic Blue" in GM speak. I had a 1990 Formula that after wet sanding and buffing garnered a huge amount of attention- it is a sharp color. A darker version showed up on the C6 ZO6, and I've seen two later TVR's that were close, but that "pop" is more prevalent on 60's sheet metal. There was a 64 Bel Air wagon that I helped with the 409 and M-21 swap that I would love to know what happened to (same color). For all of the cars I've worked on, I did not see that "A/C bracket mount" coming. Thanks for the video, makes me want to go back to the garage and fix things.
Thank you Jay for a very enjoyable and great series,well put together, interesting, and un- pretentious presentation ,(and no stupid music ) Well done that man ! ;) 10/10
Oh man! ...around 12:35 in the video is what makes that whole video wonderful. The sound of Jay, accelerating and revving that beast up to where it should go - glorious! (these engines are remarkably dependable) I will accept that - with a grain of salt -because they actually made it back without the thing breaking
I don't know either, but I do know he has a small car collection. I would imagine if you had just a handful of fixer-uppers keeping track of maintenance and paperwork would be a challenge.
Just to correct you: Islero was the bull that killed Manolete, and not the other way around. Also the engine only has two valves pr. cylinder. The first production Lambo to have four valves pr. cylinder was the Countach 5000 QV :)
"Fitted luggage" wow, Lamborghini has come a long way! I can't find a reason to mock Adam on this restoration. It looks like a fun machine, enjoy it Carolla!
older versions of the Lamborghini V12 had four cams but still had two valves per cylinder, which was very typical Italian practice in the 60's and 70's.
+Simon Coles the number of camshafts has nothing to do with the numbers of valves per cylinder... I drive a Honda that has a single overhead camshaft but has four valves per cylinder. In general twin cam engines (or quad cam in the case of a V8 or V12 for instance) can rev higher and you can use different cam profiles on your inlet and exhaust valves to better control the way the engine breathes.
I like to call my self a car "freak." They usually catch my attention more then a pretty women. I've had some bumps in the road and right now I drive a 2001 Toyota echo aka, THE EGG. Because of this channel I have learned to respect classics so much more then the modern cars. One of my goals is to someday have a few cars in my collection. Thanks for these videos mr Leno! They are great and I really do enjoy most of them!
Hey Jay,great vid. Adam was a good sport, I'm glad it ran well. Wondered if you were going to mention the speedo cable that broke on his Ferrari the same episode? LOL As below,many people would love to see more of these 60,70 and 80 exotics. Please keep them coming.I'm sure the Lamborghini Owners Club of Nth America,the Ferrari Owners Club,the Aston Martin Owners Club etc probably have wonderful cars amongst the members...all just dying to show them off.
Pirelli have recently re made the correct 205VR15 Cinturato CN72 that the Islero fitted originallly, which is a taller tye. This car is fitting 215/70VR15 P4000 (or 205/70VR15) tyres that didn't come out till the 80's. they are 70% profile tyres; low profile tyre technology didn't come out till 68, and Lamborghiini didn't move on to 70 profile tyres till the early 70's
Carolla knows his cars - he ran a vintage Toyota at the Monterey Historics last year. A customer of my mechanic sold his Islero for 35K about 10 years ago. If only I had the money to buy it at the time - it could've been my retirement fund!
You would have been much further ahead buying $35k of Apple stock 10 yrs ago. That would have a value of $735,000 today. Lamborghini Islero's like Adam's go for maybe $100k today. More for an S model and more for a pristine original restoration (which this car isn't). Plus, you have to keep pumping money into these cars to maintain them. Cars are generally not a great investment, but no doubt Jay's collection has gone up considerably in value. BTW, Adam raced an '88 Nissan at Monterey last year, not a Toyota. Adam is known for his love of Datsun/Nissan race cars and owns a few of each.
Nice cars, but I think somewhat over priced today. I drove a '69 S that a friend owned. nice car to drive. comfortable. easy. love that blue. looks great.
Love the car. Had a friend who had one in exactly the same colour. Could you tell me what camera and setup you use to hang on the side of the vehicle for the side on shots. Regards
Actually there's a law in California (I'm told) that requires a police presence when filming, so they are well aware of who is driving what and it's done safely. In a few other videos you can see the police SUV in the shot.
Jay, love the show. Always look forward to the next one. Fan of Adam too, and listen to most of the podcasts. I find some common ground with Adam, but I cannot wrap my head around why he would buy these wonderful cars, and never drive them. They were meant to be driven. Sure, no daily driver this, but I would have to take these Lambo's out now and then.
Jay inuired who the market was for this car, what was their styling bogey. To my eye it looks like an Italian version of an Aston DB3/4. A gentleman's high-speed touring car.
Pininfarina did back ends a bit like this one for a number of different manufacturers. As for handling the custom luggage - I think that's a job for someone in a 5* Monaco hotel.
Similar to "Marina Blue". To be Italian the styling appears to be very reserved. Seems to be more "Twiggy" than "Sophia".....lol.. It also turns some relatively high RPM's in 5th. Would this be considered moreso City,or Town gearing versus Gran Touring ?
What a lovely car. Looks great from the back, pause at 13:48 and it looks like the Reliant Scimitar SS1 from the 80´s. Would had loved a little more atention from the camera operator to the dashboard, but at least one can appreciate those massive masculine pedals, lol, not the girlie things every car seems to have nowadays...
I have a lot of unanswered questions like what are the performance #'s and did it have 4 wheel disc brakes? Jay almost never goes over the performance #'s in his videos.
My all time favorite episode is the one where Adams Ferrari broke down... Loved that you actually showed the reality of owning these classics.
Jay keep Adam coming back, love both of you.

graham whittaker on behalf of mr Leno long life keep pumping
Kind of a weird chemistry between Jay and Adam. Jay definitely has him beat in car knowledge.
I didn't know you watched Leno lol
Love your channel man.
gingerkids b thanks!
12345678987654321dog yeah, I keep hoping to see him reply to someone's comment!

honestly i'm glad jay doesn't host the tonight show anymore. this show is way better.
Jays show had its moments
I love Jay’s rendition of an Italian opera… if they all sounded that good maybe I’d watch more of them👍
Wow, there are so many Lamborghinis I haven't even heard of, thanks Jay for showing them to us! This looks nothing like a Lamborghini I'm used to.
All the best ones, before they got ugly.
Thank you Jay for a very enjoyable and great series,well put together, interesting, and un- pretentious presentation ,(and no stupid music ) Well done that man ! ;) 10/10
I love the engine sound, great color, nice interior. I love it!
Oh man! ...around 12:35 in the video is what makes that whole video wonderful. The sound of Jay, accelerating and revving that beast up to where it should go - glorious! (these engines are remarkably dependable) I will accept that - with a grain of salt -because they actually made it back without the thing breaking
Adam got some respect back from me. He's a good guy. Thx4 sharin'. 😁👍
Adam: " The sticker on the thing said I filled it up." Lol, I have no idea what that means. Too funny.
I don't know either, but I do know he has a small car collection. I would imagine if you had just a handful of fixer-uppers keeping track of maintenance and paperwork would be a challenge.
It means the fuel gauge doesn’t work.
I LOVE, LOVE this car. This and the Iso Rivolta and the BMW 3.0CS.
Just to correct you: Islero was the bull that killed Manolete, and not the other way around. Also the engine only has two valves pr. cylinder. The first production Lambo to have four valves pr. cylinder was the Countach 5000 QV :)
Right Martin, I was wondering if I heard Jay wrong about the 4 valves.
karlInSanDiego They said it was not all stock.
Lk T Pretty sure the engine still has two valves pr. cylinder :)
Nope it said the engine were upgraded on other version of car. Not this car
"Fitted luggage" wow, Lamborghini has come a long way! I can't find a reason to mock Adam on this restoration. It looks like a fun machine, enjoy it Carolla!
older versions of the Lamborghini V12 had four cams but still had two valves per cylinder, which was very typical Italian practice in the 60's and 70's.

You and Adam make a great comedy duo, would love to see Adam and his collection on the show more often. Beautiful Islero and a wonderful episode.
I've never sen an Islero before... what a beautiful car.
That color is incredible
Nothing but the best. ..thanks Jay
The sound of that wonderful V12.........
I love Lamborghini!!
Love that 12 cylinder sound

13:04 lol. Good work guys i never knew anything about this car until now.
That's a new car for me, it doesn't look typically Italian like they said but that engine is just incredible!
I feel like every car Jay has on the show he buys. What a life! LOL
Didn't know this car existed! Vintage-wise, I was only aware of the Miura, Urraco, and Espada.
Easily one of the best channels on youtube.

The gentleman's Lambo! So beautiful. I think it's far cooler than the Muira or Countach.
71 GTX with machine gun tips was the coolest.
Love it! Beautiful car... Jay would love to see some more classic Italian, English and German cars!
Adam and Jay should really do more videos together :) Great episode.
Great looking car and with a beautiful color!
Beautiful coupe liking the blue color.
Gorgeous car... drooling.
What a sound!
Love these Islero's....now pls do a show on the Iso Grifo
Stunningly nice color
Hey Jay, keep the odd ball Lamborghini's coming. The weirder the better.
What a beautiful car!
Do you remember Thrush Muffler Jay? My uncle started that company which believe it or not lead to Mopar Parts...
Another Canadian secret..
Nice cars, but I think somewhat over priced today. I drove a '69 S that a friend owned. nice car to drive. comfortable. easy. love that blue. looks great.
MODERN CARS ARE TRASH. TECHNOLOGY LEADS TO HEAVY. TO HACKING. WE NEED THE OG MANUAL WITH NO FAT TRANSMISSIONS OR LAGS. SIMPLE KEY. LOVE OLD CARS
Nice, it's like Corvette in the front and Datsun in the rear.
I think if I owned this, I'd go with the non-A/C rocker covers. Those studs sticking up look funny.
More like Adam Carrolla's garage. I'm just kidding.
Always loved this Lamborghini model, since I saw it in the Roger Moore, film "The Man Who Haunted Himself".
Sould we expect to see the 79-81 Trans Am that's in the background in a future video ?
Love the car. Had a friend who had one in exactly the same colour.
Could you tell me what camera and setup you use to hang on the side of the vehicle for the side on shots.
Regards
Jay, pleaseeeeee do a video of the Daimler when it's restored! That car is beautiful! 😍
I loved the ride Jay. Thank you!
2 Italians talking Italian car's.. Love It..
the opera bit was hillarious
What's with the No License plate thing? What there So rich they don't need one??
Maybe took it off so you couldnt find were they lived.
Should have used dealer plate or Corporate
I saw that a lot when I drove through California. I don't get it.
Actually there's a law in California (I'm told) that requires a police presence when filming, so they are well aware of who is driving what and it's done safely. In a few other videos you can see the police SUV in the shot.
kiddycat17 I always wondered if Jay could get away with doing burnouts simply because he has film permits to make this show?
How about bringing in some Indy roadsters and Grand Prix cars from the 60s, and take those for a spin on public roads and surprise people
That is one beautiful Lambo.
Great looking Carmen did anyone else notice it had no rear view mirrors on the outside anywhere
mzondi1970 no but i notice the poor production lighting
Hi Jay ! One day perhaps could you buy & restore a 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator ? They are a true rare classic and such a great Muscle car !
Interesting car. With the styling and V-12 a kind of blend of Neapolitan street punk arriviste combined with aloof Lombard aristocrat. Pure Italian.
Lovely sounding engine. Up there with the other favorite sounding engines (Porsche 911 flat six to name one)
FANTASTIC CAR THANKS JAY
If I'm not mistaken I believe this and the Studebaker avanti came out round the same time look very similar
Is that what an Italian opera sounds like lol good one.
Get IT ON!!
Jay is wearing his finest Canadian Tuxedo
Jay, love the show. Always look forward to the next one. Fan of Adam too, and listen to most of the podcasts. I find some common ground with Adam, but I cannot wrap my head around why he would buy these wonderful cars, and never drive them. They were meant to be driven. Sure, no daily driver this, but I would have to take these Lambo's out now and then.
I really like it, beautiful blue, sounds awesome, only my wrenches don't fit!!!
David E. Davis said everybody should drive a V12 at least once. Ok I'm in. Where do I sign up?
So nice, what a great sound.
LOVE Adam Carolla. Funny great guy
The genius Adam Carolla !
Italians answer to the corvair they say, your backwards driving is awsome !
What? They? Who?
+Lars Melsted Thomsen hahaha
Pretty Lambo, not a combo used often. Nice.
The sound!!! 😍
1st to experience the greatness of 360p
Jay inuired who the market was for this car, what was their styling bogey. To my eye it looks like an Italian version of an Aston DB3/4. A gentleman's high-speed touring car.
Jay please do a video on a hakosuka gtr! a kpgc10!!! or some more Japanese cars!
thanks Jay.. great video.. love the car!
Would you please feature the Trans am in the back ground?
Pininfarina did back ends a bit like this one for a number of different manufacturers. As for handling the custom luggage - I think that's a job for someone in a 5* Monaco hotel.
Similar to "Marina Blue". To be Italian the styling appears to be very reserved. Seems to be more "Twiggy" than "Sophia".....lol.. It also turns some relatively high RPM's in 5th. Would this be considered moreso City,or Town gearing versus Gran Touring ?
Lamborghini makes the best cars.
Beautiful car as usual. Cool!
Would be cool if you competed the lslero against one of your era 60's car's, Top Gear style.
the back lights are from the Alfa Giulia from the 70's
What a lovely car. Looks great from the back, pause at 13:48 and it looks like the Reliant Scimitar SS1 from the 80´s. Would had loved a little more atention from the camera operator to the dashboard, but at least one can appreciate those massive masculine pedals, lol, not the girlie things every car seems to have nowadays...
OLD SCHOOL
good looking car!!
Music from a cialis commercial... Cool.
Review that T/A in the background next?
That was great!
I have a lot of unanswered questions like what are the performance #'s and did it have 4 wheel disc brakes? Jay almost never goes over the performance #'s in his videos.
I know I'm late on this but who's Firebird was that in the background?
Might just be me, but I think the front view looks like a more subtle C3 vette.
What other gems are you hiding from us ace?
That is one beautiful car 👍
