I get the feeling Jay is specifically using these videos as a future preservation tool. One day sadly Jay will be gone, and his cars auctioned off (hopefully on many decades). You KNOW that each of these videos will be played with the car, and will be treasured by the future owner. It's almost like Jay is speaking directly into the future.

As a Brit I have only seen glimpses of his other life as a comedian and talk show host. I'm really impressed with Jay's reverence and respect for the great engineers, designers and renovators who dedicate their lives to creating and restoring these wonderful historic vehicles. Jay comes across as a genuine guy who sees himself as curator and custodian of some of the worlds most coveted vehicles. The result is a very watchable series, like a book I just can't put down!

I watch these videos every week and I see all these negative comments making fun of Jay and making fun of other commenters and it really kind of makes me mad. He doesn't have to share these things with us. It's not like he needs the fame and I bet with production costs this channel is only breaking even. We even get to see things when they don't go perfect. So if you're the kind of person who likes to leave angry comments, do what you got to do. But please take a second to stop appreciate all the hard work Jay’s team goes through so we can appreciate the vehicles and the people who made them.

For sure. Leno was collecting cars before he got the tonight show. I remember him riding one of his Harley's on the Late Show when he was nothing more than a guest. He use to travel his comedy tours on his Harley. Even if he never got NBC money he would still own alot of cars.

@badgerflorida9182 8 лет назад

I'm sure he was cringing from that scrape that they put on the underside of the gullwing, but it was neat seeing him give the "no big deal". That's one of the big reasons why I admire him and his shop and all these videos he shares - he drives and uses his stuff, doesn't just polish and stare at them. That scrape just adds to the patina. Thanks for sharing this Jay.

A million dollar car on a one of a kind reproduction truck and, at 3:45, he opens a hatch to reveal the tie down straps, in a reused cardboard box they got in the mail.

Jay, if you're reading this, I just wanted to say how much admiration I have for you. And it's not the usual admiration for a Hollywood star because I really don't have any admiration for any of those people. It's admiration for what a normal, regular person you are despite being a Hollywood star. I admire your love for vehicles, your knowledge of them and the way you present this show. You must have had numerous fights with executives who have wanted to hide the occasional imperfections that crop up (like the scratch in today's episode). These people always want to present a sanitized, squeaky clean image of life, even while presenting a reality show. I want you to know that there are people out there (I am one) who greatly appreciate the fact that you show it like it was filmed..like it occurred. A true reality show. I watch every episode. Keep up the good work. There are very few people I subscribe to on RU-vid but I will always be a subscriber to this show. ...a Canadian fan in St. Catharines, Ontario

Airbag suspension . Just like a semi . That little truck isn't anywhere near heavy enough to overcome those bags ! Must ride awful funny , though , beyond just the steering happening behind you .

@ekner 8 лет назад

The centre of gravity is probably very similar to a big front wheel drive car, so the suspension would be fine. Think lorry suspension, really heavy duty stuff. As far as the design decision of making it with such a huge overhang... Crash safety would be like if you put an egg on the nose of a brick and drove it around like that, lol :P That's taking into account the materials and design styles of the time. A modern version of that transporter could be as safe as any new lorry if you really wanted to make it.

@jospi2 8 лет назад

The engine is above the front wheels. So it's not a front engined truck and the cab doesn't weigh that much.

However, even though I truly admire and respect Jay for so many and varied reasons... Mr, Leno is really one of the most truly absentminded drivers I've ever seen drive a car! lol. He rarely stays in one lane, always veering off into the next lane! He's a true 'Sunday Driver' lol!

@57WillysCJ 8 лет назад

People don't think of future values on what seems junk. Heck I see things all the time that I trashed as a kid and it's now worth something. I have a friend in his late 70s that is a real car guy and saved many things but he is really sad to think of when he was a kid how many of those old cars he cut up with a torch for a guy that sold scrap metal. They wouldn't have more than scrap value for 30-50 years. Think about what you throw away today as junk and what it could be worth in 50 years. Then again in 50 years it might still be junk.

@TheBlkzenki 8 лет назад

just put a scratch on a million plus car! ouch!

@izhlayukio5863 8 лет назад

Not fully restored yet ;-)

@izhlayukio5863 8 лет назад

But still ouch

@patrickpelletier6315 8 лет назад

yea that's exactly my thoughts aswell and sure the restoration aint complete but im sure he didnt like that deep down inside. then again he probably doesnt care too too much about that because he isnt into these things because of the investment potential. he rarely sells cars and the ones he does probably dont interest him anymore. like the VIN # 003 Hemi Challenger (2012 or whatever) he sold at auction. back then you couldnt have the manual at all for the Challenger (how stupid is that). and a while back he sold his F150 Harley Davidson edition. the very first one made and the very first one to have the SVT Lightning package which didnt come in until later in the years of the Harley Davidson editions.

He isn't going to restore it. Not the paint anyway. (At least that's what he said when he did the video on it.)

@patrickpelletier6315 8 лет назад

Ander Pendragon actually he said he might do a full restoration eventually in that video

We all played with Matchbox cars & Hot Wheels cars, longing for the day we could own a life size version. Jay Leno has written that dream in to reality. I enjoy this show a great deal.

Leno Probably had The Sickest Car Collection out of all The Celebrities 💯💯💯

Kudos to you Jay giving us real footage of the off load of the car.

@anonharingenamn 8 лет назад

SUPER COOL! So happy to see it was built in Sweden.

My dad got a 1961 190 sedan just before I was born, sold after I graduated High School. The windshield and door looks like that body. So cool Jay showed us this icon, thank you.

If it will haul a 3,500 lb. Racecar, Then i think it Would Haul a Ton of Bricks Jay.

@HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 лет назад

And all this time i thought it articulated right behind the cab.

@Turppa21 8 лет назад

Haha, you beat me to it.

@surelysmith 8 лет назад

I think Jay meant its designed to carry just one thing. A single race car not that a ton of bricks is heavier than a car.

@patrickpelletier6315 8 лет назад

lets just say you probably cant tow a Cadillac El Dorado 67 or whatever (Elvis had one in pink). firstly because it truly is the definition of a ton of bricks and then some (as much as i love it) but also because it is probably too long to fit on there

"When you don't have Netflix, this is the kind of stuff you can build" - boy he's right! I built a couple cars from scratch and both Netflix and RU-vid had to be kept at bay to finish Kimini and Midlana.

Jay is the best car collector ever. Where does he even find these things?!

@harrisonashley1631 5 месяцев назад

Hot Wheels recently issued a Leno's Garage Premium 4-pack, with the Tank Car, 2017 Ford GT, 2015 Ford GT350R, and this, the "Blaues Wunder", or "Blue Wonder". It's so wonderful to have this thing in an affordable and more durable size. Plus, it can carry most Hot Wheels, often with the tires right up against the deck lip. I never knew what happened to the original after its career was done. Leave it to Mercedes-Benz to construct an exact replica of a one-off antique transporter. Inhear their vintage support program is still going strong. Also, gods bless Jay Leno. This man is not only living the dream, but he actually takes time to drive all these cars. You're a protector of holy relics.

Looks like something right out of the Speed Racer cartoons. Beautiful rig!! And that scratch on the gullwing will buff right out!

@delona6485 6 лет назад

Jay, thank you for sharing these amazing cars with us. Your love for these cars is contagious!

@SailBeforeSunset 8 лет назад

Thanks, Jay. Keep it alive.

@JuicyFruityify 5 лет назад

Huge respect to you Jay. I would never have imagined such things or their stories existed. If anyone can restore million dollar cars to their former glory, its you.

@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP 3 года назад

Reminds me of an old Fire Truck- every bump looks like the entire cab is gonna snap off. Thank you, Jay. I miss YOUR Tonite Show dearly.😥

@paulrossiter8685 4 года назад

Fabulous. Well done Jay for sharing this wonderfully preserved piece of car history.

@Robard65 4 года назад

It was amazing and funny to see the cabin bouncing up and down going through a putthole. And how cars were following this unique car, not overtaking it.

@donovanlucibello379 10 месяцев назад

I love how Jay, a real car guy's car guy, does not put some emotion evoking sound track or other antics to "jazz up" the video. It is just Jay flipping through pictures & talking about car craft - simple, love it!

@DwightMS1 3 года назад

Jay, we love how you don't keep your passion all to yourself like some rich snob. We love how you share your incredible collection of cars and motorcycles, and that whole factory you run to restore and maintain them. It's all so cool; thank you, thank you, than...

@congospruce 6 лет назад

This is my favorite episode so far. I LOVE all the cool cars you have, Jay. But this is just plain wonderful, eclectic and amazing. Please keep up the awesome content.

@thericher 8 лет назад

That's a beautiful truck Jay. Really have to appreciate the time and skill put into it. Thanks for sharing.

@ironheadgram 4 года назад

I've watched this video twice now. I think its one of Jay's best. Thank you Mr. Leno.

@rockaholictom 6 лет назад

Jay reminds me so much of my uncle talking about vintage cars. It’s awesome that people like this are out there preserving these classic machines and feats of engineering. If Jay or Sergei weren’t out there putting the work in this would have probably stayed a corgi model or a brick of steel that Mercedes just crushed. Fantastic show.

@zipzapspeed 8 лет назад

Jay, this video is exactly why I subscribe to your channel! Amazing. Thank you for doing what you do!

@justaguitardude 8 лет назад

very cool. when i was 15 i built the model of this exact combo.. what a trip.. same colors too or close to it i just copy the picture on the box, so yeah. woohoo.

@jackmehoff1840 4 года назад

the most stunning transporter ever build

@pakkinen Год назад

we are so lucky Jay leno exists!! He not only has one of the best and coolest colections around, but he cares to make a youtube channel and share it with us. There are some impresive collections hiding from the world that owners dont want to share and show, which is a real shame. Those car collectors should take note of what a real car guy is, not some rich guy with millions of dollars in cars he never drives or shows to almost anyone.

@net-twin-de 3 года назад

The scratch that occurred during unloading really hurt me and I'm sorry for the owner who now has the damage even though he just wanted to show us RU-vid watchers the unloading.

@absolutium 2 года назад

I feel you man.. but the car was already damaged Jay found the vehicle at the desert he make it fully operational but said he wanted to use it in that condition for a while.. it would be a shame if thay happened after the final restoration.

@Xynudu 8 лет назад

Wow, that front end overhang is extreme. Spoon drains and humps would be a big issue, even with the front air bags up full. Weird that Mercedes made something like that. The way it was bouncing around at street speeds makes 100mph sound rather scary. Interesting vehicle.

@muddshshshark 8 лет назад

I can relate to that feeling having owned a mid engine 1967 Gofar window van which was my race bike transporter..I lived in that thing. Lots of beer runs to Blaine Washington
