I only have a lawnmower section in my garage.
funny,
By my I r b 5 5 u u 6 u uh
Your lawnmower section must be full of civics
I have a spiderweb section in mine.
I park my bike in my apartment
"There are only 100 8 lieter Bentleys, I've managed to track down 5 of them."
I like it how he says it like he will keep buying more if he gets the chance LOL
That's because he probably will xD
Old Bentleys are just so outrageous and mad. Huge, with big engines, beautifully built. No nonsense no compromise engineering and craftsmanship. It's a little sad that Bentley turned into footballer's and golfists' car.
MrCorvusC ...and stupid talentless rappers.
+MrCorvusC Frankly I just want them to be as reliable as they were back in the day.. If I could daily one and feel good about my wallet, I'd love to have a Bentley.
@@literallyartemis they wont ever be that reliable because of how differently things are built today and also just the sheer complexity of modern bentlys but they cant really build cars like this anymore
and the Queens car
Back in the day they were only owned by Hooray Henrys. So, on the balance, nothing's changed.
"the Bentley section of my garage".........oh my.
+danekeeper1 I have a bentley section in my garage... hot wheels garage.
+danekeeper1 I have a "2006 Chevy Silverado section of my garage" as well as a "john deere mower and snowblower section of my garage" haha
Jon Homrich Hey at least you got a garage...I got a cheap ol' car port that I park my ......in.
+Meilenwerker i have a hot wheels section in my garage
Yeah im just over here at the honda dealership LOL
Jay im not sure what my life would be like without you. You are just best. Mechanic, comedian, car guy that shares, married to the same gal for 40 years, supporter of vets, i mean there has to be a special place in heaven for you! 27 year mechanic here. Watch yer videos daily. Thanks brother!
I hope he goes to heaven. It all comes down to faith in Jesus. Hopefully Jay believes.
So much automotive history would no longer exist today if it wasn't for leno, well done sir, well done
❤❤❤❤❤ the best !
Have to admit,whether one likes him personally,....or not! Jay Leno is a very good presenter on these videos regarding his collection of vehicles and motor cycles. Personal opinion, he really does have a knack / flair / interest in motor vehicles etc. More power to him,(no pun intended)
I have to agree with you, he also has the knowledge to work on them himself if he wanted and I think he does when he has the time. What I also like about him, he likes to have the background and history on his vehicles if he can acquire it.
Tinker Jim I do agree, it the history with each vehicle is always most interesting.
arriviste2020 He's consistently interesting.
Agreed....
arriviste2020 only a psychopath could dislike Jay Leno. :)
i bet he's the only person who can say he has a Bentley section of their garage.
Yeah, and he has a Duesenberg and a Bugatti section too.
i know! id be happy to own one of the cars he has yet alone to have a collection!
Not only that, But i'm pretty sure he's the only one who would take one of the rarest cars on earth, and modify it like this. Not that theres anything wrong with that. Just that most people would keep it as stock as possible.
yeah anybody else would be scared to even touch it because its such a classic but modify it! but he does have a couple and the money to fix it if he wants to I guess.
hahahah yeh i love the fact that he has SO many cars, he has sections that correspond to the marque.....wouldnt we all do that of we could
He worked for these cars and it is a gift that is given to him as a person to understand and have them. I am thrilled that he is willing to share with us.
6:11 "Imagine going to a proctologist for dental work." Too funny.
I laughed,and have 3 broken ribs.It was worth it.
Frederick Kruse
I laughed, and I’ve got 3 broken teeth that need fixing, how unfunny is that 🤣🇷🇴🇬🇧
That is the craziest intercooler setup ever. The top pipes going from the turbocharger outlet into the intake manifold are exposed to very high speed air moving across the polished aluminum pipes, so they are functioning like intercoolers. What a cool feature. The engine sounds awesome, it has a heavy gear whine, plus a turbo whine. Very cool!
Jay Leno. The only guy that can modify a car and have it INCREASE in value.
According to the DVLA website, this car was registered on 19th May 1925. Also, as if it even matters when the car is over 5000 miles from Britain, the road tax ran out at the end of '97.
It would have been tax exempt anyway
@@mrcaboosevg6089 Even tax exempt cars need to be taxed, although its free. Just use the DVLA website and my car is taxed in less than a minute.
FY was a Blackpool reg !!!
@@10wanderer not Blackpool but fylde
I'm no sycophant, but I nearly fell off my seat when he opened the bonnet. Stunning, absolutely stunning!
If ever I was to get jealous, it would be at Jay for having this car. Jay's contribution to motoring history needs to be celebrated.
I love the Bentley that looks like the Wacky Racer gangster car
Beautiful car. While listing W O Bentley's achievements, let's not forget his rotary aero-engines that powered the Sopwith Camel in WW 1.
God knows the world would have been better off had W.O. Bentley just stuck with locomotives.
@@michaelmeliambro5117 How?
@@johnnytenjobs Well, for starters, we wouldn't have been stuck with such unimaginative, uninspiring crap as this Twin Turbo helping of heinous engineering.
@@michaelmeliambro5117 He didn't design this. Are there any car builders of the 1920's that you feel have virtue?
@@michaelmeliambro5117 Maybe I misunderstood your comment. He might have designed some good locomotives. I'm sure he was grateful for the engineering basics he learned in that business.
Had a great, old timer, truck driver, working for me and he could go all day on a 13 speed transmission without using the clutch. The clutch was only needed when starting from a dead stop or when going into reverse. Louis Morrow - RIP.
Doctor Goop
Great stuff Mr. Goop....
Sounds like a good old boy...they don't make them like that any more...!!
One of the (many) things I admire about Jay, is the way he is not "precious" about his cars. he uses them, modifes them, drives them hard, just "uses" them.
Jay can day " the Bentley secction of my garage" and still sound modest.
The literary James Bond would be proud of this car. Amazing piece of work. It even has Marchal Headlamps
Gidday Mr Leno,your channel is the outstanding,the way you present ,the passion you empart is in the highest order.
Well done and its The South Sydney Rabbitohs Australian Rugby League
I want to see Leno take it to the drag strip and show the world what it can do. I bet that torque can astound a few Honda owners. That would rule!
Definitely, but I'm not sure those tires can take it...
If that surprised a Honda I'd be surprised cause this car probably accelerates like a diesel
I expect an 8 liter motor has plenty of grunt. The idea that they would turbocharge such a thing is fantastic. It would likely kill most hondas because they weigh twice as much as this car.
Mr Leno what a beautiful car, well to be honest all of your cars, are great, congrats, It´s a great thing that people like you take such good care of these timeless masterpieces
I walked in front of you at the Orange circle in The city of Orange. You were driving one of these old cars that had a control lever on the outside maybe the Bentley. About 10 years ago, I awkwardly said hi, remember? Haha💜🆒🌵
Just love these gems about cars, Jay puts it over so well and seems to know his cars, makes a super interesting documentry.
Jay Leno,
You and yout autos were made for each other.
Cheers,
R.T. Thomes
That depressing moment when a car almost 90 years old has 2 times the amount of horsepower and 4 times the amount of torque as your car...
Right. I have been watching all of Jay's videos and the engineering in the 1930's was superior in some ways. The transmission in the Bentley can somehow handle 800 ft lbs of torque. But a lot of transmissions today can't handle that, and will fail pretty quickly. Just amazing that they had the metallurgy and engineering to make something that could shift that smooth and handle 800 ft lbs of torque. And the solid cast engine with cylinder head gasket is far superior to the modern Subaru engine, which is notorious for failed head gaskets. It's just amazing that this car was built so strong. Look up his videos on the 1931 Henderson motorcycle and the Vincent HDR motorcycle, to see another example of incredible engineering. The Henderson was the most high tech thing ever, glassy smooth, with an overdrive. Better than anything today. The new bikes still don't have an overdrive gear, to this day.
@@Ritalie The reason modern transmissions seem "weaker" to you is because you are comparing the one in the Bentley to a modern car that has parts designed to be light and cheap while coping with the expected power levels, back in the 30's Bentley probably just fitted the strongest transmission they could build/find but these days you wouldn't be fitting a Truck gearbox into a modern supercar. Some of the big Merc saloons do have gearboxes rated for 1000lbs/ft though, so they are available, probably much longer lived, lighter and, relatively speaking, cheaper too.
Jay Leno: This car is a priceless irreplaceable work of art. Please use ANYTHING but a Fram filter to protect it. K&N is good, but Bosch is basically K&N without the nut on top. Wix, Mobil 1, Pennzoil, it doesn't matter. Just not Fram.
WIX is just as bad as Fram. I always use Royal Purple.
I think his inhouse mechanics have a better view on why they take a particular brand than we do.
Granattaaaaaa
I'm certain that you're correct Granattaaaaa.
Jesus, the engine sounds good with those turbo's! Beautiful car, and showcased brilliantly
COPPER exhaust system.......
This is one good example of how wealth is meant to be used. Look at how many people are getting the chance to participate and experience these beautiful and clever designs. Jay is a great historian of human mechanical design. Hopefully JayLenosGarage will one day be the automotive encyclopedia for the younger generations.
What I like about this video is is how he talks about it like it's the viewers car. You got this here, oh and here's your thing and your other thing ...ect.
holy molly, what an engine, if Jay had not opened the bonnet, I would have never believed that it had an 8L underneath , then when you see it, you think how the hell they fitted it in, just beautiful, what a rush to drive this beauty and just hear that sound!
Srill I loved the sound of the V8 in Jays type 35
They must have shoehorned it in.
Ronit Singh
I'll have to look for that video Mr. Singh, sounds very interesting....
jay leno smoking people in a 93 year old car.
This may be my favorite car of yours I've seen to date. That polished bonnet with the black leatherette bodywork is striking, what Heavy Metal would be if it existed in 1930. And that exhaust note is a fantastic hint at all the serious business in that engine compartment! Would love too see another video with a longer ride. Thanks for the ride Jay!
The Bentley Drivers Club is probably the best group of car enthusiasts in the world. I've been amazed at what they are capable of on tour. I've seen them strip an engine from a W.O. in the main car park at Le Mans, surrounded by spectators, with the race in full swing in the background!
If I could just spend one day with jay Leno I would die a happy man...these cars are so historic and the time and money he puts into preserving and fixing them is astonishing. Some of these cars bring a tear to my eye with beauty of their time
Hey jay love your show best one on you tube the jacket is from russel crows south Sydney rabbitohs keep up the great work mate
Jeez...all the questions I could ask! How much boost?...is it intercooled?...I could go on and on. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much for keeping, maintaining and USING all of these incredible works of art that are in your garage, Mr. Leno!
Still the best vintage Bentley videos on TH-cam😮😮😮😊
My family has restored chrome parts on cars and other things for over 80 years. We have done what is valued cheep or expensive to the market. I do not care about the cost of the end product but how much it means to them. I know Jays cars are worth a lot but when you see his face when he talks about his cars you know this is a person who loves the art and not the market value.
+Gvfdsg Gfdgdf If your idea of art is not a functional thing. What is acting, buildings or anything that is not hung up for people to view or behind ropes letting you feel that it is important. If this is not art form to you OK. But for a lot people that understand the work and thought put into a car like this know it is art. If all you can not understand about my email this is your personal hang up and this is a free world. But if your trying to make me think Jay does not love these cars and is trying to fake us with these posts you have not enough experience with this industry or other people's idea of art.
Paint is not what makes it art but the way it is made. The lines the shape and If you have any idea the time spent crafting it. Give your head a shake if you think you can judge what one person thinks is art. If you can not understand that art is to the eye of the beholder not governed by pig headed people telling you what it should be. There is a old book you should read called Emperor new clothes.
That hood mod to allow the crossovers looks gorgeous. Sounds awesome.
Agree. I wonder how they made them. They might work like intercoolers a bit. Being in the air stream.
This is one of my favorites of Jay's collection. I love the implementation of the twin turbos on the 3 liter engine. It's got to be so much fun to drive with the horsepower and the driveshaft twisting torque. I love this car.
612 whp GT3582R EJ8 maybe you should have actually watched the video. That’s the 8 liter engine.......with twin turbos....in the 3 liter car.
That is so lovely! reminds me of the twin SU's on my '64 Austin Westminster 3.0L straight six - however, this Bentley is just so much awesomer than what I had the fortune to drive in 1983. Blast from the past hey - and I count you lucky as well as deserving in being able to preserve motorhead history. Thx J!
chitty chitty bang bangs big brother,,
Wow!!! That's an awesome car! ! !
That's the way I drive my 18 wheeler speed shift.
Great vid keep em coming
My God,Jay Leno knows his car history.Those Bentleys much be worth millions and it's nice too see a man who's been a success in life use his money wisely.
Haha, that is the best South Sydney Rabittohs jacket I have ever seen! Did you go the game with Russel Crow? He owns the team. Go the bunnies!
Ya need leather balls to play Rugby! ;-)
Sadly he seems to have been directed to League. Needs to see real Rugby - known as Union, where you don't just hand the ball over after 5 phases.
A further Australian connection: W.O. Bentley's parent were born in Adelaide, capital of the State of South Australia.
As time goes on, older cars like these look more and more beautiful.
Jay Leno, you really are a hero for preserving so many of these cars and so perfectly. they are a huge part of history. yes, you really are a hero.
Love the car, amazing how the mods were incorporated. A work of form and function!
"These things could run 24 hours all day long":)
+984francis Hahaha....yeah....I noticed that too !! I can't stop laughing......Maybe he got this from Murray Walker? It's a great Murryism !!Geez..... I had to stop this video and get some breath. And type this message. I'll go back to the video, later.....Hahaha.... These things could run 24 hours, all day long..... Nice one, Jay !!!
+telescopereplicator I think he put that in as a joke.
+telescopereplicator ,why bust balls,in New England many of us use the slang" term "all day long",we say it in reference ti pretty much anything...Jays from Boston
Please people, calm down. Jay made a very funny remark. That's all. I was in a funny mood and it made me laugh. And I did hear him say "...at Le Mans." at the end of the sentence.. I know exactly what he meant. But the way it came out of his mouth, the spontaneity, was so funny.
The linguistics mean nothing. It's gearhead language. He also says "it makes power the minute you put your foot in it", and "there are a million lubrication points on these cars". A minute is a LONG time, and there aren't even close to a million parts on the car, but he knows that the people watching his videos understand exactly what he means.
What the many in the automotive trade call "shock absorbers" are in engineering terms dampers (as they damp down oscillation). the actual shock absorber is the spring. The spring absorbs the shock and the damper dampens down the rebound. So that's what those friction devices are - they are friction dampers (not shock absorbers).
Unfortunately it's a lost cause now, but dampers really aren't shock absorbers...
What a work of art.. Some of the most phallic of designed automobiles..
The sheer knowledge about cars that Jay has. Impressive. Very Impressive. And I really like the way he uses all his cars and shares them with the world outside in a completely open way.
Jay, friends don't let friends use Fram oil filters!
I'm not sure why you would say that. With the amount of mechanical talent of the men working in Jay's garage, and Jay's ability to afford the very best, he would not be using a Fram filter unless that damn thing was doing a proper job of it. I think if anyone knows whether a car part works, it's Jay. As far as I'm concerned, having Jay use it on his vehicles is like a seal of approval. He is simply *not* going to use a crap part on one of his carefully and expensively restored vehicles.
@John Buick Fram's been around since the 1930's. It's ludicrous to think Jay would use a crap filter in order to save $5 on a car that probably cost $100,000 to restore.
Wix are much better.
"...but other than the 20 plus major modifications, she's just like she would've been in 1924." Awesome.
Donald Kasper he keeps all the stock parts from the cars stored anyhow so when they are no longer driven they can be restored to original. Just like if that car goes to the Museum one day they'd definitely put the original back on.
Thanks for sharing Jay!
Huge admiration for a truly work of art. I envy Jay Leno SO MUCH!
That is a nice car!
Love the Canadian tuxedo
Jenny west HA....!!!
Genuinely funny Jenny, I aim to use that if I may...?
But he's not the President, Chairman or C.EO of Levi Strauss
That was a visual and sonic sensation. What a beautiful sound when he gasses it.
That car is just....so freaking awesome. I love the sound of the twin turbo along with the Bentley engine.
only jay Leno would take one of the rarest cars in the world, and then modify it! lol
salemcripple : But he did do a nice job of it.. (OK, prob'ly not him personally)
He said in the video that he used a race car. It had already been modified years ago.
W.O. knew there was no replacement for displacement!
That is the most fascinating engine set up. I love the cut out hood and the cross overs.
Bloody awesome. Usually I'm a bit cynical about celebrities who claim to be classic car and bike enthusiasts but this bloke is the real deal. I don't see any difference between him and the mates I had when we were all British bike enthusiasts. OK, he's got a lot more money, but that doesn't buy knowledge or class.
a new longer video for this please
I'd like to see it at the drag strip. 1320 Videos would flip out.
Jay, so I had the privilege of weaseling my way in the Bentley museum at the Bentley plant in Crewe, UK in 2007. There I got to see one of the rarest Bentley in the world that looked much like your Bentley. That summer I did a pastoral exchange with a Methodist minister from Crewe. Our families basically traded homes and churches for two months, and his "manse" was just across the field from the Bentley plant. All through the summer I looked out the window at the plant and admired the Bentleys being "test driven" around the community. A retired worker from the plant played organ at the church. He told me of the museum and tried to get me a tour but to no avail. It was only open to those who were going to purchase a Bentley; i.e. not someone on a ministers salary. In our last week there I decided to try the "lost American ploy" with a cold call to the factory lobby. The lovely receptionist explained what I already knew, but after expressing how I was on exchange and learned of the museum she said, "Well, just wait a minute I think our curator may be free." Sure enough the curator invited me back and gave me a personal tour of the museum. Starting at a car that looked just like this one (less the cut outs in the hood) he rested his hand upon the original paint from the 1920s and explained the early history. The funniest thing happened after he mentioned how many millions of pounds the car was worth. There were do not touch signs all about, so I commented that I was surprised it was OK to touch original paint like that. Suddenly his hand shot back from the car as if he discovered his hand had been resting on a hot plate. With a wry smile he said, "I suppose I shouldn't be laying a hand on that bit." The tour went on to the LeMane winning Bentley with French grass still in the radiator pods and even getting to sit in a 2008 Continental, but I will never forget that car or his shock at being called out for touching the paint. I headed back to the "manse" aglow with appreciation for English history, hospitality and humor. Thanks for bringing back that great memory.
Mr. Leno,
Thank you for the tours of all of the older cars. The engineering just amazes me. I would love to see the people in your shop at work, doing the restoring, upkeep, and especially the improvements. I love that the Bentley is a turbo, I love that the Doble could launch the space shuttle, I love that the Lotus Elan is going to be 300% more powerful. Are these types of things you may be willing to film?
Most Sincerely,
Rich Marsh
Incredible machine. I literally went "whoa" when Jay raised the hood the first time, beautiful.
Why do people give Jay a hard time about saying dampener? Yes usually it means someone that makes damp but it's also correct as meaning same as dampers.
+James Godwin, I'm with you, I've never known them referred to anything other than dampeners??
People are idiotic children that didn't pay attention in school.
James Godwin that never annoyed me. Although one thing that does is how he pronounces hydrolock "hydraulic".
In England, when I was a child, I remember my grand parents using the word "damp" if it was a bit rainy...
That would have been in the 1950s. But I don't think anyone does today.
The term 'damper' is more technically correct to describe the action of slowing the suspension movement - to dampen it. Some people use the word 'dampener', a variation of the word 'damper'. Either is technically correct, unlike the word used in the US, 'shock absorber' It doesn't
Man Jay has so many cars, but only one denim jacket
in the choice between being fashionable and buying cars , Jay Leno makes the right choice .
What a beautyful car! I have always liked the Bentleys because of the amazing craftmanship!
The sound of those british engines is just wonderful. It makes me miss my TR-6.
FRAM?! AKA 'The Orange Can of Death"...
+Steve Adair That's what I was thinking. Purolater Pure One, at least!
+Edslittleworld 'used a piece of screen door or something' ...uh you're not?
Their race filters are okay (that was what it had), but avoid their regular filters like the plague they are. Horrid things.
The best filter I found is Toyota. lots of media crammed into those.
US made Purolator, Champion labs (AC Delco, Warner, STP, and other low cost filters) and Wix before a Fram. Wix is overpriced though. Fram is overpriced and the worst design out there.
I'd rather not run a tearolator.
AAKA - "The Orange Can of cardboard and hot glue"!! 😨
South Sydney Rabbitohs *****
Love this car, never knew the engine block was basically 1 piece! Very very cool, you can tell it's one of his favorite rides, it would be mine too, I'd love to daily drive that sucker!
Jay Leno is my idol the knowledge this guy has about cars is crazy and his collection is one of the best
You should run WIX Racing filters instead of Fram Jay.
Wix filters are excellent! I love NAPA. 👍
that jacket is the south sydney rabitohs although thats actually a rugby league team close haha nice car!!!
His friend must be Russel Crow he bought them a few tears ago
Thanks Jay for posting all these for us car lovers!
What a great life you have !!! I just love watching how fun it is !
South Sydney Rabbits Rugby League. I bet his buddy was Russell Crow
Got it in one!
Rabbitohs,Nsw australia
He could've got a decent team
Wow. The ductwork piercing the bonnet like that is incredibly beautifully done.
Jay is the perfect guy to own so many unique and classic cars and share them with us, and a great narrator as well.
I cringed when I saw that fram filter on that beautiful car
That engine sounds gloriously under-stressed. So much more satisfying than a whining Ferrari :-)
Ferraris dont whine cause they're stressed they whine cause they rev extremely high fun part about having a balanced DOHC V12 the size of an American V8
One of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen.
love your show jay. love the early sports cars that you showcase. and love the modern touches to make them run forever like the increased cooling and filtration.
Twin turbo 8 litre!
"These things could run 24 hours all day long"
They also could run seven days a week all week.
Damnit I stopped the video to come say this but I see you beat it to it by a year all year long
This car could run all tank long - Less than 15 minutes.
@@EricH928 I don't know? Wouldn't running seven days make one weak?
For those wondering It was South Sydney Rugby League Club
I am seriously gobsmacked!
8Litres of twin turbo Bentley? OMG...
Thanks for showing it to us, Jay - even better, you took it out on the road.
Why such a short drive? Run out of fuel?
does Jay only wear denim
Time to get with the program, man.
yes he almost always wears his denim tuxedo, except I recall one episode where he purposefully dresses like the guy that does appraisals that he has on the show from time to time, and in turn the man giving the appraisal rocks the denim tuxedo lol
No.
He famously resides exclusively in possum skin Y-fronts.
They call him the denim chin for a reason
It's actually a Canadian tuxedo.
I think this is my favorite car that I have seen on your shows. I absolutely love this girl.
Great W.O. Bentley Re-creation, wonderful beast. Thanks Jay.
