"A little bit of effort, but the effort is Well Rewarded." Here is why Jay Leno is such a great car person. Totally relatable and totally on the same page. If you know, you know. And God bless him for that! Cheers y'all!
Back in 1987 these were around $25,000. I was looking to get one, then the prices started to shoot up, I ended up with a Euro spec 1969 Maserati Ghibli, another "man's car", no power steering, very heavy clutch. But driving it was an event, it had a great V8 sound from its 4.7L quad Weber engine, it was visceral, actually set off car alarms as I drove past them. It's long gone now, good while it lasted.
“Progress is wonderful but there is something totally enchanting about tradition” This is the perfect summation of classic Ferraris. Very satisfying video gentlemen 😊
Reminds me of when a wonderful family friend came round to my house in their 365 GTC. It was red with a black interior, with those wonderful alloys you could get. Not quite as pretty as a 330 GTC but an exceptional presence. I was so delighted when he took me out for a high speed ride in it. A few weeks later, he came around again in a primrose yellow Mark II Jaguar E type coupe. Again another unforgettable car ride was offered. I was 14 and in awe. Thanks for the memories.
A fabulous car, looks so modern... Truly an object of Art. And the conversation is very intelligent, low profile -- these guys are not pretentious. Quite a pleasure to watch!
"This is a car built by craftsmen" that captures the essence of that car. No I have never and will never be so fortunate to be able to drive a car of this status/pedigree but if I ever did I know I would be overwhelmed with the visceral joy that that experience would provide. This is a "drivers car", these cars are not easy and carefree, they demand your attention and concentration, but when you are zoned in you feel all those thousands of independent parts working in a symphonic harmony, you feel it through your hunches and torso and ultimately through your heart. Forza Ferrari!!
I read that book Precision several years ago, I second Jay's recommendation. The firearms industry was a huge driver of precision, the American firearms manufacturers led the way on that front.
Fun video! Thanks! The first Lamborghini I saw was a Countach in a small town in Washington State. It passed me going the other direction. I spun around and chased it down. It was white and amazing and had the license plate "NORDY" which told me that it was owned by the Seattle based department store family the Nordstroms.
Jay, I think you like it better than the new ones because it NEEDS you. Whatever happens with this car, you make it happen - no nannies or helpers - it's a pure car.
As interesting and fun as it is, it is also aggravating and annoying at times. Obviously the 330 GTC is significantly easier to live with than the 250's, but it still have its issues. There are newer Ferraris that are very pure cars, the fact that a car is needy does not always make it better.
Great Show! Driving them and listening to the analog sounds... the carbs the valve train, the trans gears... just wonderful. I so love driving my NCRS Top Flighth 3 Star 1971 Corvette LT1 survivor - I have driven it for a few hours each of the last few saturdays. It has great road gearing with a 2.52 first gear and a 3.55 rear end = 3000 rpm at 65mph and it is extremely easy to drive off from a stop light.
This is funny,I was telling my kids a similar thing about drivers of old super cars in the past. As a kid from the 70s,I would see a supercar and wow over it while admiring the driver for their strength and skill that was needed. But recently watched a driver steering her modern Lamborghini round a corner while holding a coffee in her hand and thinking how supercars are just shopping cars now.
Donald at his finest! Well, next to his early morning Oh Say Can You See solo starting the 2023 Amelia off. Now THAT was the PERFECT way to start such a day for me. With Jay the NOT So Ferrari Guy, what a duet here. Bravo!
Only one time I had the opportunity to drive a Ferrari automobile, and it was a 1967 330 GTC, red, all original and identical to the one in this video. Thank you Brian Conlan, it was a treat.
I've read the book Jay mentions , I think its titled the precisionists by Simon Winchester, great stuff, especially the part on how Rolls Royce grows jet engine parts from one crystal of metal .
Those exhausts... 😋😄 Something I've always wondered about those twin oil fliters on Ferraris; does the oil not go everywhere when you service them? And when you refill after service does the oil not take ages to actually get into the filters? I'd have thought their position would be a sure way to get airlocks. Looks very cool mind you.
The oil filters have standpipes so they stay full when the car is off, or when you take them off. With an oil change you can fill them fairly full before putting them back on. The red ones on this car are Baldwin, a very common choice for Ferrari owners. If you tip them too much on removal they will spill.....
Yeah, but the 250 GTE was his all time favourite car. Enzo instantly fell in love with the 2+2 250 after he got behind the wheel, it was always his benchmark in many ways.
Hello Donald and Hi Jay.... Jay , did this make you change your mind ? And l think this is the first time when Donald reminded Jay that he was expecting to drive !!!! Great stuff. Thankyou gentlemen.
Beautiful car and a couple of car guys having fun!!! The correct title for the book (for those interested) is "The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World" by Steven Winchester.
Rod Stewart's 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 was chassis 3372 and was the first of Stewart’s three Miuras. It was followed by a white Miura S in November 1971 (chassis 4863) and a yellow SV in June 1972 (chassis 4818). Both cars were also right-hand drive.
A mans car. Haha. My mother of 73 has zero issues driving my 250, and that is significantly more raw than the 330 GTC. Fun fact. The 330 GTC was the first Ferrari where dealers encouraged people to get a radio because it could be heard. I am looking for a 330 GTC currently, but compared to the other classic Ferraris, this was the first that got pretty easy to drive.
I genuinely think Jay's days of purchasing cars is coming to an end. He is not getting any younger and he drives less than he used to. I simply think he does not know what to do with it.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 It's sad, but Jay is definitely slowing down. Even videos from 3-4 years ago to today. I'm not going to go into more here, I don't want to be disrespectful to Jay. But I did never hear why his CNBC Garage show was cancelled after his bike accident? Same issues? Viewership?
@@guytansbariva2295 I didn’t know his show was cancelled. I watch his shows here. Love that guy. Far more people know him for the love for cars than his standup at this point. He’s such a mensch.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 Yeah, withing a week of his bike accident (probably 2 months ago or more), it was announced his show was cancelled. He's a Mensch for sure.
Re: precision: its a small world in TH-cam sometimes. I just learned the history of Johansson Blocks and their role in precision in assembly line manufacturing.
Beautiful car Mr. Osborne. Jay Leno is a difficult man to impress. Lol. Tossable fun sports car. Motor sounds like heaven. Not a Ferrari that would stand out in a crowd. Conservative alpha styling. Get Leno off that wheel.👍 😂😂😅😎❤
You'd own a car like this mostly for the sound. Probably best on roads between 40-80mph before wind road becomes an issue. This model in particular reminds me a lot of the BMW 3.0 CSL, the latter of which was probably copied from this body shape. Both beautiful cars.
Wow. You really don't know much about new and classic Ferrari ownership, do you? Reliable? Yes, the modern cars are in fact super reliable. The ones from the 60's? Not so much. They are moody things that will make you lose sleep for an entire week leading up to a road trip.
l was at North Park mall in Dallas Tx in the covered parking lot and walked past one of these Ferrari's or era at least but was a convertible. Looked like a 250 gt but l dont know them well enough. The car had a security guard watching over it while the owner shopped. l was thinking you couldnt take these cars anywhere w/o them being stolen in Tx sadly. Even car jacked.
Jay WOW I Looove your Splendid Gorgeous car collection. So what area of Heaven were your cars built! Well I do mean to say that as it’s the Best compliment I can think of to say. Have a Wonderful 2024 with your cars and in All you do. Stay Safe Drive Safe Well Warm and Smiling. And Thank you for sharing the videos of your cars. My tung is hanging out!!! 😃! JB. Surrey. UK.

Lol, Persuasion isn't needed, all Jay has to do is call David Lee and have him pick out a Ferrari to bring to Jay Leno's Garage. Jay gets to drive one without all the real and imagined negatives of owning a Ferrari. Like Jay gets the essence of British sports cars, Donald gets and expresses the essence of Italian sports cars better than anyone, imo.
The only Ferrari I ever liked was the late '70s CARBURETED 308 GTB308/GTS308. Basically the Magnum P.I. car. I don't own or drive cars with computers, meaning no EFI, and the older Ferraris just don't do much for me. I consider the late '70s 308 to be the epitome of Ferrari design.
Had a BMW 733I 5spd and a 944 and left my wife walking home because she bought a fountain pop and thought she was going to get in the cars with it?Not in my cars.
Compare this classic style icon to the new Purosangue, that new Mazda CX30 looking thing. Taking a corner in this machine is all driver's skill, the SUV is two ton of computer controlled mechanics who do the cornering. The Purosangue has no real driver, only passengers.

Jay and Donald, the absolute best their is. I felt like I was there with you and that is priceless.
That was a lot of fun gentlemen, thanks for taking the time to share your passion of cars with us!

Always great when you two are together. Laughing and so much knowledge of so many vehicles. THANK YOU

Can't get enough of this conversation, even though I've heard some of the anecdotes before.. I just love it.

No convincing Jay is required if the “Ferrari is like when I was a kid” - Make Ferraris Great Again🦊

Absolute favorite Ferrari and I think one to most appreciate from now. Beautiful lines, Colombo v-12.
Only one time I had the opportunity to drive a Ferrari automobile, and it was a 1967 330 GTC, red, all original and identical to the one in this video. Thank you Brian Conlan, it was a treat.
Perfect content… great chemistry, knowledge, and tastes!
These two guys are great! And the sound of this Ferrari is fantastic.
I've read the book Jay mentions , I think its titled the precisionists by Simon Winchester, great stuff, especially the part on how Rolls Royce grows jet engine parts from one crystal of metal .
A beautiful underrated classic Ferrari. Your enthusiasm is a treat 😎
Incredible. The dash/interior looks a lot like my first car Had back in 1989.
It was a 1976 Lada 1500 SL. And a bright Red one too.
Haha, my parents had a 1980 1500 station wagon in bright yellow.
Not entirely sure I see the similarities in the dash.
I love the smile on Donald's face in this car. I bet I would have the same smile in that car!
Is Donald's tie a flag? Looks Swiss
One of the better car vlogs out there..
I love the way Jay drives with his head up
He doesn't want to get his chin caught in the steering wheel.
Understand comment 😂
Jay’s stated he doesn’t like to wear sunglasses. So you see him often blocking the sun from his eyes with the visor.
The sound reminded me of riding in my boss’s 275 GTB.
Just perfect !
Absolutely amazing car! No design now even comes close.
The 275 was for the gentleman racer… and this for the gentleman tourer… both utterly fabulous
Those exhausts... 😋😄 Something I've always wondered about those twin oil fliters on Ferraris; does the oil not go everywhere when you service them? And when you refill after service does the oil not take ages to actually get into the filters? I'd have thought their position would be a sure way to get airlocks. Looks very cool mind you.
On the exhaust pipes...I know! Like trumpets singing wonderful notes was my impression! 😎
The oil filters have standpipes so they stay full when the car is off, or when you take them off. With an oil change you can fill them fairly full before putting them back on. The red ones on this car are Baldwin, a very common choice for Ferrari owners. If you tip them too much on removal they will spill.....
Still my favorite car of all time. Enzo said the XKE was the most beautiful car ever made. I agree...until he built the 330!
Yeah, but the 250 GTE was his all time favourite car. Enzo instantly fell in love with the 2+2 250 after he got behind the wheel, it was always his benchmark in many ways.
Agree with Jay, I would much rather drive the analog version than the digital version...
Yes!
Have you driven say an 812 GTS and a 250 or 330?
It's an interesting thing to say on camera, but something entirely different to live with.
Hello Donald and Hi Jay.... Jay , did this make you change your mind ? And l think this is the first time when Donald reminded Jay that he was expecting to drive !!!! Great stuff. Thankyou gentlemen.
Here's 2 Buddies, driving cars, relaxing, having a good time!!! I'm old enough to have seen these Ferrari's on the road, as I would walk to school
Love this car! You mentioned the Roma, Donald. I think we need to see it. Bring out the Roma!
Beautiful car and a couple of car guys having fun!!! The correct title for the book (for those interested) is "The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World" by Steven Winchester.
Thanks for the lunch time drive.🎉

A real car guy’s destiny was sealed when as a kid, watched La Dolce Vita and remembers the Ferrari and not Anouk Aimee and Anita Ekberg.
Loved the look of those older Ferrari's
I love the cars from this decade.
A mans car. Haha. My mother of 73 has zero issues driving my 250, and that is significantly more raw than the 330 GTC.
Fun fact. The 330 GTC was the first Ferrari where dealers encouraged people to get a radio because it could be heard. I am looking for a 330 GTC currently, but compared to the other classic Ferraris, this was the first that got pretty easy to drive.
The best stomach frenzy car indeed nowadays. Enjoy it in the name of the youngins, in front of electric absurdity. Love you guys.
I had a ‘67 dark silver gray with a biscuit interior
Jay if I was you…I would buy one. You can always sell it. To be able to buy the car of your dreams from your youth. Priceless.
I genuinely think Jay's days of purchasing cars is coming to an end. He is not getting any younger and he drives less than he used to. I simply think he does not know what to do with it.
Gorgeous car, great commentary.
Jay is turning into Magoo (squinting as he drives) as he ages. We all love him of course.
He's driven squinting and with his head back for years and years.
@@guytansbariva2295 Yes, but it’s increasing with time. That would be a great Timelapse.

Amazing how much the GTC looks like the Alfa Romeo spider. Pininfarina made such beautiful cars
It's nice there's more backroads featured lately Instead of coastline effect and backdrop in general. not that there's anything wrong with that...
You'd own a car like this mostly for the sound. Probably best on roads between 40-80mph before wind road becomes an issue. This model in particular reminds me a lot of the BMW 3.0 CSL, the latter of which was probably copied from this body shape. Both beautiful cars.
I would enjoy it if Donald and Jay invited both Harry Metcalf and Iain Tyrell to come over for a few episodes...
Beautiful period steed.
Marvelous Experience!!!! Forza Ferrari!!!!
My dream Ferrari!
Bought it in ‘72 for a bit under $13k. From Bob Cressman. Cressman Ferrari
We need a duet from Donald and Iain Tyrrell!
Great video

1874 Sharps Buffalo Rifle, 45-110. Built by Shiloh Rifles of Montana. 45 caliber. 110 grains powder 🔴
Great looking car
Better than a new Ferrari , more reliable , more fun to drive and A better Investment !
Wow. You really don't know much about new and classic Ferrari ownership, do you?
Reliable? Yes, the modern cars are in fact super reliable. The ones from the 60's? Not so much. They are moody things that will make you lose sleep for an entire week leading up to a road trip.
Anothter refreshing and enjoyable getaway video ! Fine Job! & BTW If you all add #Hashtags to the Title you should get more clicks :)
Next to the Daytona, the 330 GTC is the most sexy Ferrari of all times

Just starting to look for a 124 Sport Coupe. I hadn’t realized just how scarce they are.
That's because they were a piece of crap, body and mechanical integrity wise and rapidly turned into iron oxide.
@@avsystem3142 ouch!
What year is that?
And Jay passes a Land Rover, stopped in the road, with its Emergency flashers on. Typical of a Landy?
I was wondering if they were sight seeing/taking pics, lost or broken down myself lol

If I remember......the rifle was a Sharps.

If only I had the money !
Great car, but nothing can compare to Donald's tie in this vid!
Surprisingly enough, Jay didn’t mention the cigarette lighter and ashtray as he usually does when he reviews Italian cars lol.
Yeah. He was repetitive in so many other ways.
What road is this?
Hanging Rock Rd Middletown RI
Lol, Persuasion isn't needed, all Jay has to do is call David Lee and have him pick out a Ferrari to bring to Jay Leno's Garage.

A TRUE GENTLEMENS GT
The only Ferrari I ever liked was the late '70s CARBURETED 308 GTB308/GTS308. Basically the Magnum P.I. car. I don't own or drive cars with computers, meaning no EFI, and the older Ferraris just don't do much for me. I consider the late '70s 308 to be the epitome of Ferrari design.
the silly grin wasn't intentional... the G forces were pulling his cheeks backwards... and... of course, the brakes don't work on that side
wowy... Mr Leno... yesterday was a 2023 Porsche... today... the Ferrari of my dreams... wowy
the reason we like the old ones is
.. the sound of those Webbers
Had a BMW 733I 5spd and a 944 and left my wife walking home because she bought a fountain pop and thought she was going to get in the cars with it?Not in my cars.
Almost Petrolicious level of feeling.
Horn sort of works....
❤❤❤❤
Was that a fine British Range Rover with it's Emergency Flashers in the middle of the road, imagine that. The Ferrari looks tiny in comparison.
Compare this classic style icon to the new Purosangue, that new Mazda CX30 looking thing. Taking a corner in this machine is all driver's skill, the SUV is two ton of computer controlled mechanics who do the cornering. The Purosangue has no real driver, only passengers.
Donald, Have you received your Roma ?
He has! And he’s already enjoyed many miles! Check out his Instagram @osbornedonald to see some of his adventures with the Roma!
are jays eyes open? jay,,,,,, they have these new things now called sunglasses. you should try a pair.
