I drove with my buddies in the canyons and Jay Leno pulled up in his car and talked to us for at least 30 minutes. He was so nice, humble and friendly. I’m glad we took a picture as a nice memory.
Man, I'm so glad Jay is still sharing videos like this. I feel like this is a landmark video on the channel. He bought (a very expensive) a car purely because he thought it was the perfect car for him and his wife at this stage of life and he wanted to experience/enjoy it. Rolls Royce was also a beginning of his interest in cars and he feels deeply connected to the brand. If anyone deserves one of these cars, it's Jay. I see and hear him in this more frail state and I am just heart warmed that he can share stories and jokes like this with us and chooses to do so through the channel. God Bless this national treasure.
I just watched him climb up the ladder of the Union Pacific, Big Boy locomotive and he didn’t strike me as particularly frail, either. A slight bit more hunched over than a few decades ago, but certainly not frail 👍
@CAVALRY19D I can't for the life of me figure out how you got from where you started with your comment to where you ended. And that's *after* you edited it! Maybe *you* have dementia.
It’s a privilege watching, probably the greatest car enthusiast I’ve ever seen, talking and enjoying about a machine that clearly he wanted to own from a child. After everything that Jay has achieved in his life, you can tell that this purchase is a genuine milestone in his life and I could not be happier for him.
I hope some one reads all these.... Jay's been a customer for 40 plus years...... Being a Brit, and a massive Jay fan, thank you Mr Leno......... You're my hero.
Me neither. However, is it just me or is Jay looking rather gaunt lately...🤔 With injuries within the last year or so and what's happening with with his wife... it looks like life is catching up with him. Just it is for all of us. He is a a National Treasure that keeps National Treasures ✨️ Can't imagine life without him 😢
its always hard to see a person getting old, but Jay still maintain his values and thoughts. But getting old means not staying in lane with a big car and not flooring it as he used to. He still stands up for motoring and what cars means to all of us regarding the paycheck, fun.
Something is wrong. Maybe just coincidence but he did now a bunch of things to provide for his wife in case his death precedes hers. He's slower, more deliberate, lost his quickness. Maybe heart issues. It almost breaks my heart. I dumped my cable tv in 1990 because I hated TV. Only show I watched was Jay on the tonight show.
Me too. He’s still doing very well.. we’re all going to get old. Just enjoy the time we have.. I have made that mistake with my grandparents etc. everyone gets old
“I would just be getting out of jail NOW” Lmaoooo Jay is getting older, as we all do, but it makes me happy to see him still be witty and hilarious, I can’t get enough of these stories he has.
Have you ever known anyone who left 35,000 dollars on a stage before..... in a paper bag no less? Ha ha.... I think that would be near half a million dollars in todays money! You could buy a house for 10 grand back then......
Weird realizing I grew up with Jay with grey hair with the little dark patch in the center, now he's here with full white and his voice sounding a little weak. Glad he's still with us. Sharing his passion and making us laugh.
When I first remembered seeing him, he had all dark hair with a grey section on top. I’ve watched him steadily since. I didn’t notice the grey patch getting bigger till the dark hair was totally gone. My hair suddenly turned grey too. It happens too fast.
three gentlemen plus sir Jacky Stewart sharing life’s experience around their love for cars, this is pure gold for us all car enthusiasts and no idiot car UA-camr around (I unfollowed all of them, except Chris Harris and Jay), so refreshing.
Like everyone else, I of course, enjoy the craftsmanship of a Rolls Royce. More importantly, its fantastic to see Jay enjoying the decades of hard work and just being himself. He deserves to treat himself. Congrats Jay... It's beautiful...
One thing I have always appreciated about you is that you're a car purist. Steam to early electric, and especially firsts. The preservation of history in all of these iconic works of art. This new purchase is the next evolutionary step in the achievements of modern man, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Jay, you absolutely do not need an excuse to buy a lovely Rolls. It is automotive art and I am sure you enjoy your time in it. Congratulations on your new car. It's a beauty.
I wonder how many people buy a $500,000 Rolls Royce and can also talk about pulling out the seat in his 40-year old Bentley to get to the battery so he could solder in a new one? (Although I bet he won't be changing the battery in his Rolls by himself).
I'm glad you bought your Spectre, Jay. It's a beautiful automobile, and with your history of working for a Rolls Royce dealership back in the day, no one could appreciate more than you the quality of these amazing automobiles. Thanks for sharing your new car with us.
I’ve always been impressed by Jay’s success as a comedian, talkshow host and his knowledge of automobiles and of course his humbleness . The story of him delivering the cars and the bag of cash left me more impressed
No Leno fan would beat him up in the comments for buying a RR. The difference he’s made in peoples’ lives makes him one of the few people in the world I think deserves an RR.
No one "deserves" a Rolls-Royce. That's not the purpose of the brand. Even in the company's marketing rhetoric it's a self-endowed reward for individualistic achievement often of dubious merit.
@@NorthShore10688 you said “No one deserves a Rolls Royce” and that opinion is BS. It truly is just an opulent thing, yet you called it a “self-endowed reward.” The key word being “reward” and he exemplifies and personifies someone to be rewarded with one as a gift or if he bought one for himself. Hence why you can’t crap on him for having one because he is totally a great guy…. and a great car guy.
Last season in Miami on the F1 grid Jackie blowing through security to grab Roger Federer for Martin Brundle to interview. Jackie is still a complete boss.
It may be a flex to just have a 3 time F1 world champion sitting in the corner, but after seeing him there I really wanted a half hour chat between Jay & Jackie.
Jay, it would never occur to me to "beat you up" for being a real lover of cars!! I'm a child of an automotive father, and now, at 70, I still derive a ton of happiness from driving different cars! And that Spectre is an absolutely beautiful creation! The suspension in it is beyond belief! I'm really loving the conventional looking grille (even though I don't think it has a function!) and yet modern front end! RR never disappoints! So nice having Mr. Spahn there with you pointing out some features. Jay, thank you so much for the entertaining tour of your new acquisition! Enjoy every minute of it!
Hi Jay, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing the video. Your purchase of the Rolls-Royce Spectre really caught my interest. I wasn't particularly into EVs before, but seeing you with this car opened my mind. Over the past week, I've been researching it, and I now think it's the best EV out there in terms of quality, elegance, grace, and luxury. I’m definitely getting one. To anyone who dreams of owning a car like this: you can absolutely achieve it. All you need is a burning desire and a solid plan. Whether it takes a week, a month, a year, or ten years, you can make it happen. I'm 1000% committed to getting one myself in the near future. Believe In Your Dreams Have Faith Never Give Up You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind To
Years ago, I was waiting for a friend who was shopping on Colorado in Pasadena. I didn't really feel like traipsing along, so I said we'd meet later and I walked down the street and into Rusnak to have a look at the first new Phantom of the BMW era. Now, like most people in the world, I couldn't begin to afford one, but I was treated like a valued customer, given a complete tour of the Phantom they had in the showroom and we had a great talk about cars in general and Rolls-Royce in particular. That's customer service. You never know who you have in your business and how their fortunes might change. Fast forward to the Napa launch of the Spectre. I'm walking into Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, past the Hyatt Regency where two huge transporters are disgorging Cullinans, Ghosts and Phantoms. On my way back home, I strike up a conversation with a gentleman who's overseeing his charges in the parking lot. The RR employees and crew were staying in the hotel and the cars were for potential customer drives. More great conversation and a tour of a Cullinan. They hire some great people at Goodwood.
I had a similar experience at a Car Show when a Sales/Co Rep talked with me about the BMW 850 and again at a Boat Show (with plenty of high end Craft) when a one boat maker company rep. told me about a guy who marched in in jeans and a T-shirt, got a tour, looked it over for a little longer,asked "How much?" and wrote a check immediately. They called the Bank. The Bank said "Whatever the amount he writes, we'll cash it.". There you have it. You can't be arrogant, you can't be window shopping, you can't demand their time but there are people who exude more than a passing interest and all the stories of "and I sold them one" make good sales reps cautious about being dismissive of the respectful and genuinely interested/informed person.
If my wife of 40+ years was going through the early stages of dementia, and I was rich and wanted to drive her around in comfort & peace, this is what I would choose. Good on you Jay, keep ignoring the hate.
I was in British Airways 1st class lounge at Heathrow the other day- January 16 2025. I have been around celebs and high level politicians. I look over and I see Sir Jackie Stewart. I so badly wanted to go tell him how amazing and legendary I felt he is but for some reason I just couldn't do it. 1. I felt like leave the poor guy alone he gets this all day, every day. 2. Bit crass to bother someone in those surroundings. 3. He had been taking a wee nap when I first saw him and didn't want to intrude as he was waking up. Anyhow, as an amatuer racing enthusiast, car lover, etc. just seeing him was a highlight of my work trip to London. And if I were to see Jay Leno and Sir Jackie Stewart at the same time. I think it would cause my brain to go into vapor lock. In a good way :)
I love the legend where a guy had his Rolls break down in the middle of nowhere and they sent a mechanic on a chopper to get him going again. And a month later when he called his rep about the bill for his “roadside assistance” he was stiffly informed “Sir, our cars do NOT break down.”
And yet I've picked up a few buddies in my Honda when their rolls and bentleys left them stranded on the side of the road. My hondas have yet to break down.
I picked up an 86 Silver Spirit with 24.000 miles on it 3 years ago. I'm like Jay I bought it to drive it and drive it I do every day. NOTHING beats driving a Rolls Royce! BTW I was a pilot for a career and I flew Jay to Las Vegas once many years ago and I can attest that he is as nice in person as he seems on the screen.
Jay is such a stand up, all around guy!! He is so down to earth. His love of all things auto is so well known. He has become such an Expert of Cars in general… That Rolls Royce is a beautiful car.
Don’t begrudge Jay Leno in any way whatsoever to be able to afford a Rolls Royce Spectre. He is such a pleasant, humble, and knowledgeable man, if anything Rolls Royce should be appreciative that such a knowledgeable car guy would buy one and be happy to endorse a car like this.
It's not that they sold Jay Leno one, it's all the other cars they're selling to who knows who, ( like dictators, oligarchs, and all sorts of bad actors).
What a great storey Jay told about his day as a young comedian and working for Rolls-Royce as a 19 year old. Comedic Royalty! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Jay Leno is a the best. Such people are rare. He wears his success well. And his humility makes him a real person to the rest of us. Thank you to him for sharing his brilliant cars and knowledge with us.
I truly admire you for purchasing this Rolls. I like the idea of you giving a proper review of this car instead of the, all to boring, regular you/tubers. I won’t mention who. Jay, don’t apologize for you giving the review. As long as it’s honest, viewers will appreciate it.
Rolls Royce has always been my favorite car brand. It’s seriously a marvel of engineering and even though I will most likely never be able to afford one I can only imagine that driving one is an experience in of itself. Absolutely amazing !
It's always sort of amazing to hear Jay's old school stories. I was born in 1969 and it's amazing that Jay wasn't "wacked" or in prison (and then wacked) sometime in the Johnny Carson era. 😁
I once held onto 20k in a brown paper lunch bag. It's really a surreal feeling when that's way more than you have yourself and you are young like that. I worked at a pool store when I was younger, and someone brought in cash to pay for their in ground pool.
I love so much how you are able to live through vehicles and the love you have for them . Myself someone who has no car at the moment or a dime and it's my fault but I do have a cell phone and I can watch you and see these cars and im not giving up either so watching you and this garage you have is amazing . It's awesome that you fix these cars and drive them everyday my dad has been a diesel mechanic my entire life and at his age he doesn't want to work on anything anymore lol . Just wanted make a comment to say how awesome this really is . I hope to one day buy a decent vehicle again and learn to work on it and be able to appreciate it until someone runs into me lol. Ty for the video
There’s never been a more deserving person to own a Rolls Royce! This man has more than earned everything he has from all of his hard work! And on top of that he happens to be one of the kindest most down to earth genuine people you could ever want to meet! He really does do so much for the automotive community and I’ve never heard a negative thing said about the guy! Congrats on your beautiful RR Jay and I hope you continue to enjoy it for a very long time! 👍🏽
Jay, you deserve a car like this. You’ve entertained us all for free when you share your garage with us, so drive the tires off it! By the way, your lovely wife deserves it more. The very best to you both.
Gorgeous automobile. Thank you so much for sharing it with us Jay! I think the most telling part about the vehicle is how happy Jay is with it. If a guy with this many vehicles can still get excited about a new car, it tells you everything you need to know about the man and the car. Love it!
I love the Rolls-Royce beautiful car, beautiful engineering. I will never be able to afford one, because I will never be able to work again. Stuck with multiple sclerosis, I have what I have, I will never get more, and because of my disease it will always take away. I can still look at these cars though and appreciate how beautiful they are and I'm thankful that Jay Leno is sharing his collection with viewers like me, and I appreciate that people from Rolls-Royce came to explain finer details that I'll never be able to appreciate firsthand.
I heard Jay say that when he worked at the car dealership, some of the other guys said he was dreaming when he said he would someday own a RR, or be rich. Jay thought it could happen. It's America. He believed and is showing us it's real. We can't let feelings of misfortune or illness overtake us. We have to believe that's not what defines us. We are working toward our dreams. Day by day, battle by battle. I wish you the best for your dreams.
@@dannyschoolcraft5984 unfortunately I have multiple sclerosis, that has truly devastated me I can't even afford my necessary medication a little on a rolls-royce, but I can still look at one and dream.
Watching this is such a beautiful experience in and of itself! One does not "get in" this automobile...one puts it on. Rusnak is where I will fly to and purchase mine. Thank you for presenting today. Stellar!
I drive semi trucks for a living and I enjoyed listening to this 6 weeks ago, but this is the first time seeing the video....OMG, Wow, what a handsome car. I also favor two door coupes. Mine is a more humble blue 435i coupe, but I love it for it's sporty yet handsome looks. What an awesome addition to Jay's tasteful collection and the RR representative had the right mixture of being attentive towards his clients, yet a little bit onery, a true car guy...🙂
I liked his commentary on the pinstriped guy drinking scotch. I usually have pretty steady hands. But often when I go to solder something, it’s either under stressful or rushed conditions, or it’s just after a long day of work. As a sound engineer, I’m often pushed hard with little notice to get something done before a deadline that cannot be changed. To ask some big time rock star to wait is the same as asking to be fired. Somehow, while under the gun, is when I do my best work as a live sound guy. But after hours, when I’m casually taking the time to solder a mic or mic cable or some circuit board component in place, my hands might not be quite steady enough to do it right. So, a couple of pulls on the Jameson, a bit of the THC therapy, and I’m right as rain, and leave a nice clean solder connection which I’ll most likely never need to touch again. So that’s why the pin stripper takes a swig, I’m sure. You can’t have a shaky hand while drawing a perfect and narrow strip down the flank of a 20’ long car that costs $100,000-$1,000,000. A mild sedative does the trick.
When we was to do our final exams as welders my mate was in a difficult situation. He had built a nice house like a cabin with big wooden logs and such, but got divorced. So he desperately needed the job as a welder, or he would not just loose his wife, but the house too. And all was depending on this final weld in the welding booth. With all that in his mind he was rightfully nervous. So, he got himself something helping him chill. Made the exam, got the job and could keep his beloved house. But to use drugs, legal or illegal, or alcohol to much for any reason is just not good. My missus is a high performance person and always get a lot of responsibilities at work. But the last few years she "needed" a drink or two (or a bottle or two) to calm down after work. Eventually the "ran into the wall", because the workload was just too much. Now she is on a long sick leave. We can have a glass once in a while but besides that she is sober. As with everything, it is a balance. "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." 1 Corinthians 6:12 Expedient adjective 1: suitable for achieving a particular end in a given circumstance 2: characterized by concern with what is opportune especially : governed by self-interest
noun : something done or used to achieve a particular end usually quickly or temporarily : an expedient action or solution Me myself, I don't work as a welder no more. I manufacture $10,000 high end audio cables, as an ordinary job. Luckily I got steady hands... ;)
Jay, so enjoyed your review. As a little kid, while other kids my age were wanting the latest GTO, Camaro, or Mustang, I wanted a Rolls Royce. I did have my dream for a little while. I managed to get a 1957 Silver Cloud. Sadly, the person I got it from was not able to provide a valid title and I had to hire a lawyer to get my money back. Anyway, I did have a Rolls Royce in my garage for a few months. In my High School speech class I got an "A" for a speech about Rolls Royce history. I still remember the intro some 55 years ago. "There are cars, there are good cars and then there is Rolls Royce. The quality will be remembered, long after the price is forgotten. Other cars come and go. A Rolls Royce is forever." Warmest good wishes to you and your lovely wife Mavis. Thanks for being my car guy.
That truly is a beautiful automobile Jay, the lines and proportions, and it is very pleasing to hear the sounds of the doors closing and the umbrellas coming out of their pockets. The overall quality, the fit and finish of the body panels, just amazing.
Congratulations on the newest addition to your vast automotive collection. I love what you said about your desire to one day own a Rolls-Royce, while the other young guys did not. A favourite quote that I recall from a motivational course years ago "If it's to be, it's up to me" is so very true. I never set a lofty goal for my life, but I guess I have achieved most of what I wanted. Rolls-Royce automobiles epitomize a person's success, and you have certainly been successful. Enjoy your Spectre, it is well-deserved! A Jay Leno fan from Canada.
I would love for him to find those guys, if they are still alive, and drive up to their house with it and show off. That's one time where I will fully support showing off.
This video exudes what it really means to be a motoring enthusiast. Gas, electricity, hydrogen, it doesn’t matter what it is powered by, if it is a good experience it is worth discussing.
Pure Jay. If there is a worthwhile automobile anywhere, Jay has an interest. His background working with Rolls and his extraordinary knowledge of automobiles and their history makes him the perfect owner. Jeans and all.
"At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock" - the iconic headline from legendary adman David Ogilvy. Wonder what he would have written about the Spectre.
My Uncle Norman Rowan and his oldest son were engineers for Rolls-Royce near Glasgow Scotland. They worked on jet engines, many airlines used RR engines. I ended up working on F-15 airplanes in the United States Air Force. My mother born in Scotland, emigrated in the early 50s and worked for Pan American Airlines.
For Jay Leno buying a Rolls is comparable to me buying a bicycle for my kids, I am also an immigrant and I’m happy for Jays success, nothing was handed to him, he went old school and earned it, congrats on your new addition!
Jay, I'm gonna beat you up for being successful and enjoying the fruits of your labors....Not! If any other celebrity type showed theirs....👎, but You, on the other hand, are an automotive historian, and you deserve this car! Personally, I think that they should have just gifted you the vehicle, not only for their promotion but also for preservation. Because you make sure your cars are right. I appreciate your love and commitment to automotive history. Kudos sir.
Once a car salesman always a car salesman, dude's smirk screams "let me sell you something immediately". Props to Jay getting a Spectre, ever since I saw the reviews of the car I realized it's a great machine that I will unfortunately only vicariously experience. Cheers
I've never been a Rolls guy, but the Spectre is stunning; the thing is, Jay, you can drive anything you want because it is long established that what _you_ want will not be stupid. Kind of the same reason you are not the target market for the eyesore Cullinan. Happy to see you enjoying this elegant beast instead of a penalty box on wheels.
Jay returned home with more energy than when he left. Looks like Jay got Perpetual Motion machine that violates the first and/or second laws of thermodynamics. Congratulation Jay 🙂
At heart, he is more marketing than car guy type. He's relatively knowledgeable but not interesting in a conversational manner. When he says that their customers won't care how their car is propelled? (260 mile range😂)?? His response for the thin v. thick steering wheel.? Laughable! Not to pick on the guy, but I felt like I just left an insurance seminar and not a conversation about a "cool" car. God bless Gentleman Jay for his patience on this one!
The scummy part of the interview. Jay must have got a sizeable discount for having that clown on. Jay is a smart man and would never turn down free money.
@@oscargeorge1 Yeah I had a hard time listening to the guy. He was too concerned about marketing and constantly giving a hypothetical sales pitch that always went nowhere.
I remember meeting Jackie Stewart whole filming a video for Ford Motor Company. He was charming and regaled us with fun stories. Someone asked him to define the difference between understeer and oversteer. He said in his magnificent brogue “Understeer is when the FRONT of your car hits the wall. Oversteer is when the BACK of your car hits the wall.”
It doesn’t matter how much the car costs, what matters is that Jay gets it for the right reason. It’s not for the attention but it’s through the admiration of the engineering behind it. Congrats Jay. Enjoy your new addition to your garage.🎉
Jay told the story of how he left $35,000 cash in a bag on a piano at a comedy club in NYC. Drove back to the club and the bag was still sitting on the piano😅 I’m sure that he was sweating bullets all the way back to the club😅😅. Jay’s stories are the best!! Best show on cars!!
Thank you, Mr. Leno for another amazing car review and for allowing us to see these beautiful vehicles through your eyes. You are truly a humble man who does not flaunt his wealth, but instead shares the experience of these awesome vehicles as if you were just an average working class person🙏🏽
I just imagine when the bomb came through the factory roof in WW2 somebody with a large moustache, drinking a cup of tea, and hitting the bomb back out of the roof with his cricket bat. His colleague probably said " That was a close one old boy, you nearly spilt your tea"
I love when Jay starts speaking passionately about a competitors car like a real car guy while the corporate brand guy is sweating trying to bring the conversation back without offending Jay 😂
Can't get enough "Jay Leno stories" I've never heard this "I forgot my lunch" one... And also ... When you said that they mock you for dreaming big, I felt that.... And finally what a flex reviewing your actual car, there's levels to this. Blessings Jay
There's a story about a Rolls Royce advertisement where they said the car is so quiet you can hear the ticking of the clock. When one of their engineers read the ad, he said, "We need to do something about that damn clock!"
I drove with my buddies in the canyons and Jay Leno pulled up in his car and talked to us for at least 30 minutes. He was so nice, humble and friendly. I’m glad we took a picture as a nice memory.
just don't ask to borrow his cell phone....lol
He is a real cool guy
Cool story bro
Hell, my uncle painted a few of Jay's cars.
( Jr's house of colors ). He's a very nice guy.
Make it your youtube profile pic!!
Him being the first owner to do a review instead of an influencer/youtuber/journalist is such a flex. 😅
Pretty sure that he will also be the first owner to review the T50.
Lmao influencer & youtuber, these lazy af names always slay me. They're *HOSTS*
Mind blowing IK 😅
Jay is all of the above really.
He is on youtube, he influences the public, etc. Jay Leno is becoming more and more of an influencer. Cybertruck, this, etc.
Damn sure is
If anyone deserves a Rolls Royce, it's Jay, he appreciates the craftsmanship and design like no one else.

Man, I'm so glad Jay is still sharing videos like this. I feel like this is a landmark video on the channel. He bought (a very expensive) a car purely because he thought it was the perfect car for him and his wife at this stage of life and he wanted to experience/enjoy it. Rolls Royce was also a beginning of his interest in cars and he feels deeply connected to the brand. If anyone deserves one of these cars, it's Jay. I see and hear him in this more frail state and I am just heart warmed that he can share stories and jokes like this with us and chooses to do so through the channel. God Bless this national treasure.
It is because he knows fully well hes at the stage in life its the right time to buy the pinacle in electric car.......
Amen!!!
How dare you, my good man? Jay Leno is most certainly, NOT frail! This is your projection of thought, and I might add, not a very kind & polite one!
I just thought “national treasure” before I read you writing it! 👍👍
I just watched him climb up the ladder of the Union Pacific, Big Boy locomotive and he didn’t strike me as particularly frail, either. A slight bit more hunched over than a few decades ago, but certainly not frail 👍
No one deserves this car, more than Uncle Jay.
He's been a Road Dog all his life, earning every cent he has.
Enjoy her Jay.

@CAVALRY19D They're owned by BMW but built in the Rolls factory in the UK.
@@CAVALRY19DThe comment about Jay's wife was completely inappropriate .
It’s a privilege watching, probably the greatest car enthusiast I’ve ever seen, talking and enjoying about a machine that clearly he wanted to own from a child.
After everything that Jay has achieved in his life, you can tell that this purchase is a genuine milestone in his life and I could not be happier for him.
Jay has multiple Rolls Royces, this isn't his first, so I'm not sure what sort of a milestone this is. Only he knows that answer.
Why would he want to own it FROM a child??
Because that child needed to sell it to buy an SF90? 😂
This is the greatest reason people like Jay and Oprah didn't bother with kids to give them bad headlines as they grew up.
@@Narblo youve never heard the phrase "It's so easy it's like stealing a Rolls-Royce from a baby"
I hope some one reads all these.... Jay's been a customer for 40 plus years...... Being a Brit, and a massive Jay fan, thank you Mr Leno......... You're my hero.
"This is a review of my new Rolls, but first, here is Jackie Stewart, who is here just watching." If I could do this, I totally would!
Imagine Jackie Stewart showing up at your “garage” just to hang out.
“Sir” Jackie Stewart
😅😅😅😅
Yeah, the car is cool and all, but Jackie is THE REAL FLEX😂
What was the point of that?
I don’t want Jay to get old.
Me neither. However, is it just me or is Jay looking rather gaunt lately...🤔 With injuries within the last year or so and what's happening with with his wife... it looks like life is catching up with him. Just it is for all of us. He is a a National Treasure that keeps National Treasures ✨️ Can't imagine life without him 😢
its always hard to see a person getting old, but Jay still maintain his values and thoughts. But getting old means not staying in lane with a big car and not flooring it as he used to. He still stands up for motoring and what cars means to all of us regarding the paycheck, fun.
Something is wrong. Maybe just coincidence but he did now a bunch of things to provide for his wife in case his death precedes hers. He's slower, more deliberate, lost his quickness. Maybe heart issues. It almost breaks my heart. I dumped my cable tv in 1990 because I hated TV. Only show I watched was Jay on the tonight show.
Me too. He’s still doing very well.. we’re all going to get old. Just enjoy the time we have.. I have made that mistake with my grandparents etc. everyone gets old
??? Jay IS old
The matching of the pocket square and suit to the car's paint scheme is most Rolls-Royce thing I have ever seen in my life
Yep. Thought the same. Classy and well thought out. As one would expect from Rolls and their representatives.
When you make six figures by talking to ultra rich people buying cars, you damn well better dress nice.

Sir Jackie Stewart. Formula 1 world champion 1969, 1971 and 1973. Legend. Total legend.
When I was a wee lad in the seventies Jackie Stewart was the guy that said "It's the closest thing to real racing" on the AFX commercials.
I would like to have seen more of him on this video.
@@robertknowles2487 I know. After the first 30 seconds…no more Jackie 🤷♂
I'll forever love Jay, standing there in wrangler denim with a new rolls. He makes a guy feel relatable in a way I can't describe.
It's because Jay is the epitome of a working class guy whom made it to the BIG show, but still dresses like the working class guy he's always been.
“I would just be getting out of jail NOW”
Lmaoooo Jay is getting older, as we all do, but it makes me happy to see him still be witty and hilarious, I can’t get enough of these stories he has.
Fantastic Jay has the balls, funds and confidence to Buy such an OUTRAGEOUS PIECE OF KIT! 🙏💕🌏😊
BTW - Jay’s new look, lighter weight and good health is great to see… his wife must like it as well. 👍👍👍
Have you ever known anyone who left 35,000 dollars on a stage before..... in a paper bag no less? Ha ha.... I think that would be near half a million dollars in todays money! You could buy a house for 10 grand back then......
Weird realizing I grew up with Jay with grey hair with the little dark patch in the center, now he's here with full white and his voice sounding a little weak. Glad he's still with us. Sharing his passion and making us laugh.
Set Playback Speed to 1.25x and old people Sound much younger
When I first remembered seeing him, he had all dark hair with a grey section on top. I’ve watched him steadily since. I didn’t notice the grey patch getting bigger till the dark hair was totally gone. My hair suddenly turned grey too. It happens too fast.
Jay is looking trim! Who's been here since the Doritos comercial? 😄
@@andreasscharf2531
And x1.75 for cartoon characters 😆
Just saying he's looking old & rather frail!
three gentlemen plus sir Jacky Stewart sharing life’s experience around their love for cars, this is pure gold for us all car enthusiasts and no idiot car UA-camr around (I unfollowed all of them, except Chris Harris and Jay), so refreshing.
For 91 years, Paul looks fantastic!
I heard a voice saying "I'm soon gonna be 90" then I saw the guy and I laughed out loud. No way he looked 90, maybe 70 or 75.
I thought nobody noticed 😮
Yeah, I thought it was a running joke at first, but no apparently that’s his real age. I couldn’t believe it.
What a pleasure seeing Sir Jackie Stewart doing well. Such a legend.
How do you know he's doing well?
@@dell9483 They only gave him 10 seconds.
Like everyone else, I of course, enjoy the craftsmanship of a Rolls Royce. More importantly, its fantastic to see Jay enjoying the decades of hard work and just being himself. He deserves to treat himself. Congrats Jay... It's beautiful...
One thing I have always appreciated about you is that you're a car purist. Steam to early electric, and especially firsts. The preservation of history in all of these iconic works of art. This new purchase is the next evolutionary step in the achievements of modern man, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I can't afford to watch this video.
Ha! Peasant. 🫅
Me Either , Bye !!
I can't afford to to read your comment...but I got a loan. 😫
🤣😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣❤you can dream right?❤❤❤❤
As close as I'll ever get🫤🙄
Jay, you absolutely do not need an excuse to buy a lovely Rolls. It is automotive art and I am sure you enjoy your time in it. Congratulations on your new car. It's a beauty.
Jay Leno is the epitome of class and humility. Such a legend.
I wonder how many people buy a $500,000 Rolls Royce and can also talk about pulling out the seat in his 40-year old Bentley to get to the battery so he could solder in a new one? (Although I bet he won't be changing the battery in his Rolls by himself).
Met Jay Leno in 1981. Great guy and will always remember how friendly and relatable he was.
I'm glad you bought your Spectre, Jay. It's a beautiful automobile, and with your history of working for a Rolls Royce dealership back in the day, no one could appreciate more than you the quality of these amazing automobiles. Thanks for sharing your new car with us.
I’ve always been impressed by Jay’s success as a comedian, talkshow host and his knowledge of automobiles and of course his humbleness . The story of him delivering the cars and the bag of cash left me more impressed
Facts. He is quite sharp at drawing in his audience with a certain rhetoric that feels trustworthy
No Leno fan would beat him up in the comments for buying a RR. The difference he’s made in peoples’ lives makes him one of the few people in the world I think deserves an RR.
You're a sheep 🐑🐑 you actually think millionaires care about you and I??? 😂😂
No one "deserves" a Rolls-Royce. That's not the purpose of the brand. Even in the company's marketing rhetoric it's a self-endowed reward for individualistic achievement often of dubious merit.
@@NorthShore10688 you said “No one deserves a Rolls Royce” and that opinion is BS. It truly is just an opulent thing, yet you called it a “self-endowed reward.” The key word being “reward” and he exemplifies and personifies someone to be rewarded with one as a gift or if he bought one for himself. Hence why you can’t crap on him for having one because he is totally a great guy…. and a great car guy.
@@NorthShore10688 that not a rolls royce its a BMW, engine ,body, electrics ,wheels are all made in germany
Jay Leno deserves a Rolls-Royce but not an electric one. I just can't see Jay Leno as an electric car person. Sorry folks.
I'm sure a lot of people are sending love and prayers for you and your wife, love from the UK and all the best!
Jay is just a master class when it comes to car review and his sense of humor still remains legendary
My heart feels warm knowing Jackie Stewart is still with us... and he looks great!
He looks at deaths door.
@@squoocher He's 84. How do you expect to look at that age?
Last season in Miami on the F1 grid Jackie blowing through security to grab Roger Federer for Martin Brundle to interview. Jackie is still a complete boss.
Sir Jackie Stewart. And yeah, too many great racing drivers aren't with us anymore due to tragic accidents. Glad he dodged that fate.
It may be a flex to just have a 3 time F1 world champion sitting in the corner, but after seeing him there I really wanted a half hour chat between Jay & Jackie.
What I love about Jay is? He's never ostentatious, and is so down to earth it just a pleasure to listen to a real ensusias.
Great seeing Jackie Stewart again. I watched when he was racing way back when. I think he and Sterling Moss were my two favorite drivers.
Agree, but between SM and JS I think Jim Clark is my personal favorite.
@@ccrider8483 Stirling Moss, not Sterling which is British money
Watching Jayn Leno is a lesson of a humble person, he makes you feel like you are his good friend.
Jay, it would never occur to me to "beat you up" for being a real lover of cars!! I'm a child of an automotive father, and now, at 70, I still derive a ton of happiness from driving different cars! And that Spectre is an absolutely beautiful creation! The suspension in it is beyond belief! I'm really loving the conventional looking grille (even though I don't think it has a function!) and yet modern front end! RR never disappoints! So nice having Mr. Spahn there with you pointing out some features. Jay, thank you so much for the entertaining tour of your new acquisition! Enjoy every minute of it!
Hi Jay,
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing the video. Your purchase of the Rolls-Royce Spectre really caught my interest. I wasn't particularly into EVs before, but seeing you with this car opened my mind. Over the past week, I've been researching it, and I now think it's the best EV out there in terms of quality, elegance, grace, and luxury. I’m definitely getting one.
To anyone who dreams of owning a car like this: you can absolutely achieve it. All you need is a burning desire and a solid plan. Whether it takes a week, a month, a year, or ten years, you can make it happen. I'm 1000% committed to getting one myself in the near future.
Believe In Your Dreams
Have Faith
Never Give Up
You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind To
It only took me 50 years until I could buy my Bentley!
Years ago, I was waiting for a friend who was shopping on Colorado in Pasadena. I didn't really feel like traipsing along, so I said we'd meet later and I walked down the street and into Rusnak to have a look at the first new Phantom of the BMW era. Now, like most people in the world, I couldn't begin to afford one, but I was treated like a valued customer, given a complete tour of the Phantom they had in the showroom and we had a great talk about cars in general and Rolls-Royce in particular. That's customer service. You never know who you have in your business and how their fortunes might change. Fast forward to the Napa launch of the Spectre. I'm walking into Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, past the Hyatt Regency where two huge transporters are disgorging Cullinans, Ghosts and Phantoms. On my way back home, I strike up a conversation with a gentleman who's overseeing his charges in the parking lot. The RR employees and crew were staying in the hotel and the cars were for potential customer drives. More great conversation and a tour of a Cullinan. They hire some great people at Goodwood.
I had a similar experience at a Car Show when a Sales/Co Rep talked with me about the BMW 850 and again at a Boat Show (with plenty of high end Craft) when a one boat maker company rep. told me about a guy who marched in in jeans and a T-shirt, got a tour, looked it over for a little longer,asked "How much?" and wrote a check immediately.
They called the Bank. The Bank said "Whatever the amount he writes, we'll cash it.". There you have it. You can't be arrogant, you can't be window shopping, you can't demand their time but there are people who exude more than a passing interest and all the stories of "and I sold them one" make good sales reps cautious about being dismissive of the respectful and genuinely interested/informed person.
If my wife of 40+ years was going through the early stages of dementia, and I was rich and wanted to drive her around in comfort & peace, this is what I would choose. Good on you Jay, keep ignoring the hate.
That's what I thought it was one of the reasons he bought it.✌️
WHAT HATE?
If …
Nobody should have hate for Jay...national treasure.
I agree
He deserves it
Jay is just one of the guys like you grew up with in the neighborhood. What a pleasure to see somone so famous but unaffected by his celebrity.
I was in British Airways 1st class lounge at Heathrow the other day- January 16 2025. I have been around celebs and high level politicians. I look over and I see Sir Jackie Stewart. I so badly wanted to go tell him how amazing and legendary I felt he is but for some reason I just couldn't do it. 1. I felt like leave the poor guy alone he gets this all day, every day. 2. Bit crass to bother someone in those surroundings. 3. He had been taking a wee nap when I first saw him and didn't want to intrude as he was waking up. Anyhow, as an amatuer racing enthusiast, car lover, etc. just seeing him was a highlight of my work trip to London. And if I were to see Jay Leno and Sir Jackie Stewart at the same time. I think it would cause my brain to go into vapor lock. In a good way :)
Forget what others might say, Jay, it's your money and you earned every cent of it! I congratulate you!
Jay don' care ...
Jay, YOU are the ULTIMATE CAR GUY !!!
Ya just gotta give it up for Jay. This guy has EARNED it.
jay there is no free lunch, the computer just recalculated your range based on your driving situation on your last drive. what a machine..
How so?
Nobody earns this. It’s obscene.
Ha!
Shut up already.
Have yall seen actual workers who break their backs making pennies of what this guy has made making low grade jokes.
I love the legend where a guy had his Rolls break down in the middle of nowhere and they sent a mechanic on a chopper to get him going again. And a month later when he called his rep about the bill for his “roadside assistance” he was stiffly informed “Sir, our cars do NOT break down.”
Rolls Royces don’t break down, they “fail to proceed”
And yet I've picked up a few buddies in my Honda when their rolls and bentleys left them stranded on the side of the road. My hondas have yet to break down.
@@PatrickDKing Bought an old wreck of a Honda years ago. Drove for like 15 years, never regretted buying it. Thing was so reliable and easy to repair.
OK..... you sold me! If I ever get rich remind me please to buy a Rolls...... lol.
Love the red pinstripe..done by hand btw
I appreciate that Jay is never flashy, it’s either about the car or the story. He is a wonderful ambassador for the automobile.
Paul is 90 !!!! Looks at least 20 years younger.
No doubt. Good for him. Stress free 😂😂
Sir Jackie is hangin' in there, too
Bless 'em all ...
Seinfeld is 70 and Leno is 75.
Dang that guy doesn’t sound or look 90 AT ALL!
He must be doing something right. Sounds like the man has had quite the life.
Thank you Jay for sharing your time with us. It’s humbling to hear your thoughts and personal knowledge of your cars.
I picked up an 86 Silver Spirit with 24.000 miles on it 3 years ago. I'm like Jay I bought it to drive it and drive it I do every day.
NOTHING beats driving a Rolls Royce!
BTW I was a pilot for a career and I flew Jay to Las Vegas once many years ago and I can attest that he is as nice in person as he seems on the screen.
Yeah too bad he's a communist like all of Hollywood
Awesome!
Jay is such a stand up, all around guy!! He is so down to earth. His love of all things auto
is so well known. He has become such an
Expert of Cars in general… That Rolls Royce is a beautiful car.
Don’t begrudge Jay Leno in any way whatsoever to be able to afford a Rolls Royce Spectre. He is such a pleasant, humble, and knowledgeable man, if anything Rolls Royce should be appreciative that such a knowledgeable car guy would buy one and be happy to endorse a car like this.
I totally agree!!!!!
Guys earned it. 🇬🇧
It's not that they sold Jay Leno one, it's all the other cars they're selling to who knows who, ( like dictators, oligarchs, and all sorts of bad actors).
What a great storey Jay told about his day as a young comedian and working for Rolls-Royce as a 19 year old. Comedic Royalty! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Jay Leno is a the best. Such people are rare. He wears his success well. And his humility makes him a real person to the rest of us. Thank you to him for sharing his brilliant cars and knowledge with us.
I truly admire you for purchasing this Rolls. I like the idea of you giving a proper review of this car instead of the, all to boring, regular you/tubers. I won’t mention who. Jay, don’t apologize for you giving the review. As long as it’s honest, viewers will appreciate it.
Rolls Royce has always been my favorite car brand. It’s seriously a marvel of engineering and even though I will most likely never be able to afford one I can only imagine that driving one is an experience in of itself. Absolutely amazing !
The story of Jay leaving the 35k on the piano is absolute gold!!! Love this man, stay safe Jay!!
$35K FIFTY YEARS ago, at that!!!
It's always sort of amazing to hear Jay's old school stories.
I was born in 1969 and it's amazing that Jay wasn't "wacked" or in prison (and then wacked) sometime in the Johnny Carson era. 😁
I once held onto 20k in a brown paper lunch bag. It's really a surreal feeling when that's way more than you have yourself and you are young like that. I worked at a pool store when I was younger, and someone brought in cash to pay for their in ground pool.
Mr. Leno has earned every bit of that ride. I hope he enjoys it as much as I enjoy watching his show.
I love so much how you are able to live through vehicles and the love you have for them . Myself someone who has no car at the moment or a dime and it's my fault but I do have a cell phone and I can watch you and see these cars and im not giving up either so watching you and this garage you have is amazing . It's awesome that you fix these cars and drive them everyday my dad has been a diesel mechanic my entire life and at his age he doesn't want to work on anything anymore lol . Just wanted make a comment to say how awesome this really is . I hope to one day buy a decent vehicle again and learn to work on it and be able to appreciate it until someone runs into me lol. Ty for the video
There’s never been a more deserving person to own a Rolls Royce! This man has more than earned everything he has from all of his hard work! And on top of that he happens to be one of the kindest most down to earth genuine people you could ever want to meet! He really does do so much for the automotive community and I’ve never heard a negative thing said about the guy! Congrats on your beautiful RR Jay and I hope you continue to enjoy it for a very long time! 👍🏽
Jay, you deserve a car like this. You’ve entertained us all for free when you share your garage with us, so drive the tires off it! By the way, your lovely wife deserves it more. The very best to you both.
Gorgeous automobile. Thank you so much for sharing it with us Jay! I think the most telling part about the vehicle is how happy Jay is with it. If a guy with this many vehicles can still get excited about a new car, it tells you everything you need to know about the man and the car. Love it!
Best comment on this thread.
He left the 💰on the piano! 🤣
We love you Jay!! 🥰✌️❤️🦋🙏
As past president of the Rolls-Royce Foundation and museum I am always humbled by Jays remarks. Thank you.
Love the trip down memory lane Jay. Prayers for Mrs. Leno.
I love the Rolls-Royce beautiful car, beautiful engineering. I will never be able to afford one, because I will never be able to work again. Stuck with multiple sclerosis, I have what I have, I will never get more, and because of my disease it will always take away. I can still look at these cars though and appreciate how beautiful they are and I'm thankful that Jay Leno is sharing his collection with viewers like me, and I appreciate that people from Rolls-Royce came to explain finer details that I'll never be able to appreciate firsthand.
I heard Jay say that when he worked at the car dealership, some of the other guys said he was dreaming when he said he would someday own a RR, or be rich. Jay thought it could happen. It's America. He believed and is showing us it's real. We can't let feelings of misfortune or illness overtake us. We have to believe that's not what defines us. We are working toward our dreams. Day by day, battle by battle. I wish you the best for your dreams.
@@dannyschoolcraft5984 unfortunately I have multiple sclerosis, that has truly devastated me I can't even afford my necessary medication a little on a rolls-royce, but I can still look at one and dream.
Watching this is such a beautiful experience in and of itself! One does not "get in" this automobile...one puts it on. Rusnak is where I will fly to and purchase mine. Thank you for presenting today. Stellar!
I drive semi trucks for a living and I enjoyed listening to this 6 weeks ago, but this is the first time seeing the video....OMG, Wow, what a handsome car.
I also favor two door coupes. Mine is a more humble blue 435i coupe, but I love it for it's sporty yet handsome looks. What an awesome addition to Jay's tasteful collection and the RR representative had the right mixture of being attentive towards his clients, yet a little bit onery, a true car guy...🙂
I liked his commentary on the pinstriped guy drinking scotch. I usually have pretty steady hands. But often when I go to solder something, it’s either under stressful or rushed conditions, or it’s just after a long day of work. As a sound engineer, I’m often pushed hard with little notice to get something done before a deadline that cannot be changed. To ask some big time rock star to wait is the same as asking to be fired. Somehow, while under the gun, is when I do my best work as a live sound guy. But after hours, when I’m casually taking the time to solder a mic or mic cable or some circuit board component in place, my hands might not be quite steady enough to do it right. So, a couple of pulls on the Jameson, a bit of the THC therapy, and I’m right as rain, and leave a nice clean solder connection which I’ll most likely never need to touch again. So that’s why the pin stripper takes a swig, I’m sure. You can’t have a shaky hand while drawing a perfect and narrow strip down the flank of a 20’ long car that costs $100,000-$1,000,000. A mild sedative does the trick.
When we was to do our final exams as welders my mate was in a difficult situation.
He had built a nice house like a cabin with big wooden logs and such, but got divorced. So he desperately needed the job as a welder, or he would not just loose his wife, but the house too. And all was depending on this final weld in the welding booth.
With all that in his mind he was rightfully nervous. So, he got himself something helping him chill. Made the exam, got the job and could keep his beloved house.
But to use drugs, legal or illegal, or alcohol to much for any reason is just not good. My missus is a high performance person and always get a lot of responsibilities at work. But the last few years she "needed" a drink or two (or a bottle or two) to calm down after work. Eventually the "ran into the wall", because the workload was just too much. Now she is on a long sick leave. We can have a glass once in a while but besides that she is sober.
As with everything, it is a balance.
"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
1 Corinthians 6:12
Expedient
adjective
1: suitable for achieving a particular end in a given circumstance
2: characterized by concern with what is opportune
especially : governed by self-interest
noun
: something done or used to achieve a particular end usually quickly or temporarily : an expedient action or solution
Me myself, I don't work as a welder no more. I manufacture $10,000 high end audio cables, as an ordinary job. Luckily I got steady hands... ;)
@@mathiasjohannesson9833you hit the nail on the head brother
Love these massive coupes. The epitome of class and presence. What a machine!
Jay, so enjoyed your review. As a little kid, while other kids my age were wanting the latest GTO, Camaro, or Mustang, I wanted a Rolls Royce. I did have my dream for a little while. I managed to get a 1957 Silver Cloud. Sadly, the person I got it from was not able to provide a valid title and I had to hire a lawyer to get my money back. Anyway, I did have a Rolls Royce in my garage for a few months. In my High School speech class I got an "A" for a speech about Rolls Royce history. I still remember the intro some 55 years ago. "There are cars, there are good cars and then there is Rolls Royce. The quality will be remembered, long after the price is forgotten. Other cars come and go. A Rolls Royce is forever." Warmest good wishes to you and your lovely wife Mavis. Thanks for being my car guy.
That truly is a beautiful automobile Jay, the lines and proportions, and it is very pleasing to hear the sounds of the doors closing and the umbrellas coming out of their pockets. The overall quality, the fit and finish of the body panels, just amazing.
Congratulations on the newest addition to your vast automotive collection. I love what you said about your desire to one day own a Rolls-Royce, while the other young guys did not. A favourite quote that I recall from a motivational course years ago "If it's to be, it's up to me" is so very true. I never set a lofty goal for my life, but I guess I have achieved most of what I wanted. Rolls-Royce automobiles epitomize a person's success, and you have certainly been successful. Enjoy your Spectre, it is well-deserved!
A Jay Leno fan from Canada.
I would love for him to find those guys, if they are still alive, and drive up to their house with it and show off. That's one time where I will fully support showing off.
This video exudes what it really means to be a motoring enthusiast. Gas, electricity, hydrogen, it doesn’t matter what it is powered by, if it is a good experience it is worth discussing.
And Steam
@JayLeno thank you for all the years of sharing your love, passion, enthusiasm, and something that holds a deep place in your heart.
The world still needs Jay Leno.
Love these personal back stories. Jay. Paul. Awesome. Happy for Jay. The 19 year old kid made it!
Pure Jay. If there is a worthwhile automobile anywhere, Jay has an interest. His background working with Rolls and his extraordinary knowledge of automobiles and their history makes him the perfect owner. Jeans and all.
Jay is truly a National Treasure
Give me a break.
I can honestly say at this point in my life. I'll never have one, Jay has always been a great car guy to watch and I like some of his skits too.
Jay's passion and interesting facts and questions mixed with wit and humor is an unbeatable combo!
Hilarious to see Jay in his rumpled denim shirt next to the immaculately dressed Rolls Royce guys and Jackie Steward. Love it.
"At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock" - the iconic headline from legendary adman David Ogilvy. Wonder what he would have written about the Spectre.
Loudest noise was the salesman .... I mean the turn signal.
If anyone deserves the best automobile in the world today ! It’s the car guy’s Hero, Mr Jay Leno 🙏🏼
In the past 6mo Jay seems to be losing weight, hopefully he's doing well. We need him to be around for a long time 🙏
Hopefully just exercising
He seems softer spoken as of recently.
@@Sir-Worthington yeah that and weight had me wondering
It's great to see Jackie Stewart, has Jay lost a lot of weight lately???? Hope he is ok
I hadn't watched an episode in about that time frame. The difference is shocking. He doesn't look well.
My Uncle Norman Rowan and his oldest son were engineers for Rolls-Royce near Glasgow Scotland. They worked on jet engines, many airlines used RR engines. I ended up working on F-15 airplanes in the United States Air Force. My mother born in Scotland, emigrated in the early 50s and worked for Pan American Airlines.
This was fun to watch Jay excited about his purchase! Enjoy it young man.
For Jay Leno buying a Rolls is comparable to me buying a bicycle for my kids, I am also an immigrant and I’m happy for Jays success, nothing was handed to him, he went old school and earned it, congrats on your new addition!
Jay, I'm gonna beat you up for being successful and enjoying the fruits of your labors....Not! If any other celebrity type showed theirs....👎, but You, on the other hand, are an automotive historian, and you deserve this car! Personally, I think that they should have just gifted you the vehicle, not only for their promotion but also for preservation. Because you make sure your cars are right. I appreciate your love and commitment to automotive history. Kudos sir.
Once a car salesman always a car salesman, dude's smirk screams "let me sell you something immediately". Props to Jay getting a Spectre, ever since I saw the reviews of the car I realized it's a great machine that I will unfortunately only vicariously experience. Cheers
Same ...
Play the coo-pay drinking game.
Only car salesmen refer to an inanimate object without the word “the”…
I've never been a Rolls guy, but the Spectre is stunning; the thing is, Jay, you can drive anything you want because it is long established that what _you_ want will not be stupid. Kind of the same reason you are not the target market for the eyesore Cullinan. Happy to see you enjoying this elegant beast instead of a penalty box on wheels.
Jay returned home with more energy than when he left. Looks like Jay got Perpetual Motion machine that violates the first and/or second laws of thermodynamics. Congratulation Jay 🙂
That guy is talking to Jay as if he still trying to sell Jay the car LOL
At heart, he is more marketing than car guy type. He's relatively knowledgeable but not interesting in a conversational manner. When he says that their customers won't care how their car is propelled? (260 mile range😂)??
His response for the thin v. thick steering wheel.? Laughable!
Not to pick on the guy, but I felt like I just left an insurance seminar and not a conversation about a "cool" car.
God bless Gentleman Jay for his patience on this one!
The scummy part of the interview. Jay must have got a sizeable discount for having that clown on. Jay is a smart man and would never turn down free money.
@@oscargeorge1 Yeah I had a hard time listening to the guy. He was too concerned about marketing and constantly giving a hypothetical sales pitch that always went nowhere.
He says “we”, a lot also, as if he had anything to do with anything.
That’s what I find annoying about the video,like dude drop the sales pitch tone lol
I remember meeting Jackie Stewart whole filming a video for Ford Motor Company. He was charming and regaled us with fun stories. Someone asked him to define the difference between understeer and oversteer. He said in his magnificent brogue “Understeer is when the FRONT of your car hits the wall. Oversteer is when the BACK of your car hits the wall.”
It doesn’t matter how much the car costs, what matters is that Jay gets it for the right reason. It’s not for the attention but it’s through the admiration of the engineering behind it. Congrats Jay. Enjoy your new addition to your garage.🎉
Jay has high end sports cars like his P1 that costs twice what that Rolls cost
Jay told the story of how he left $35,000 cash in a bag on a piano at a comedy club in NYC. Drove back to the club and the bag was still sitting on the piano😅
I’m sure that he was sweating bullets all the way back to the club😅😅. Jay’s stories are the best!!
Best show on cars!!
Thank you, Mr. Leno for another amazing car review and for allowing us to see these beautiful vehicles through your eyes. You are truly a humble man who does not flaunt his wealth, but instead shares the experience of these awesome vehicles as if you were just an average working class person🙏🏽
Man.. Jay has the best stories and he just mentions them like nbd.
Most uncles would be telling that bag on the piano story every thanksgiving
I just imagine when the bomb came through the factory roof in WW2 somebody with a large moustache, drinking a cup of tea, and hitting the bomb back out of the roof with his cricket bat. His colleague probably said " That was a close one old boy, you nearly spilt your tea"
Brilliant !!
When men were men
Trust me no bombs came through that roof in 1946, the war was over.
@@GunRunner3 Who said anything about 1946? Where did that come from?
@@rtflonejay misspoke and said 1946
I love when Jay starts speaking passionately about a competitors car like a real car guy while the corporate brand guy is sweating trying to bring the conversation back without offending Jay 😂
I love that Jay is so picky with his collection. Everything is so tasteful, Everything has a story. ❤
Can't get enough "Jay Leno stories" I've never heard this "I forgot my lunch" one... And also ... When you said that they mock you for dreaming big, I felt that.... And finally what a flex reviewing your actual car, there's levels to this. Blessings Jay
4:08 - this is such a great story. He has the best stories. 😂
There's a story about a Rolls Royce advertisement where they said the car is so quiet you can hear the ticking of the clock. When one of their engineers read the ad, he said, "We need to do something about that damn clock!"
