That’s the Ferrari I would want . I think it’s beauty in motion ! Wow it is so beautiful and it is raw. Just everything about it makes a person love it !
I have a 1965 AMC Ambassador convertible. In the summer (I'm in Canada) it's my daily driver. They're a piece of automotive history. They should be shown and appreciated. Take care F1 ☮️ from 🇨🇦
I like this guy, he's honest and using honest language. Talking about cutting the cancer out of the car, etc. He's just waiting to curse up a storm but can't on the cameras. He's somebody I would take my car to any day.
This is the Ferrari I could imagine Jay having in his collection. Everything that’s great about Ferrari without the pretentiousness of a Ferrari. Great job on a great automobile!
Great Video, beautiful car! My Dad bought, in 1955, an XK140. He told me later in life (I wasn't born then) that he loved the XK engine because it could run at high speed or in the city and never miss a beat. He heard, in the day, that that was the problem with Ferrari's. Besides having wavy body panels (hand built) they would typically load up in traffic and were not happy unless they ran at 6000 rpm. It was interesting to see Jay having the same problem!
This is just drop dead sexy. I love the fact that it's not typical Rosso Corsa. This color blue suits the body style very well. I love the beautiful interior color because it's not black. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is worth over a million. Sadly most of these don't get driven very much. Thanks.
I built one of these for a customer in 2019, he bought it at auction for 1.6 mil, then paid us a couple hundred thousand more to redo the whole car pretty much. It won the concorrso italiano at pebble beach that year
I would drive that beautiful car several times a week...but it was disturbing, to hear the engine stumble a few times, not being consistent with the smooth nature of that engine.
It’s crazy how a slight glance might make you think something stupid like MG, or I don’t know, just another little spider, Japanese, English, all forgettable, I couldn’t care less about an Austin Cooper Healey MG Diet Sprite that frankly looks stupid. Glance for one more split second, and this thing is jaw dropping. The modern Aston Martins are the same way, soooo sexy. This blue is stunning. Some of these Ferraris just lose me from in front of the back wheels on back, almost truncated poorly, like a knife where you broke off the tip and tried to reshape it back to the original shape but wasn’t gonna happen. When they are right, they are sooooo right. A Sunbeam Tiger looks very much like this, but also, not quite, not as sinuous, not as extended as a great Ferrari. These are shaped as if to suggest a powerful animal about to pounce or chase. How beautiful.
That engine sound literally gave me goosebumps. And I LOVE all FIAT group blue colour tones, since good old cars like this to even the newest ones. Timeless and gorgeous car.
I'm a older car guy, been around, have pretty good knowledge of what i thought was a lot of good car knowledge and experience of years of experience on numerous cars, but i always learn something watching jay leno, always amazed on his knowledge, a real car guy, and truly a walking encyclopedia of car knowledge, thanks sir for sharing your thoughts and knowledge, p.s. late nights suck without you
The color of that car is absolutely stunning, it’s refreshing to see something other than red or yellow, beautiful restoration . Thanks for sharing guys!
Thank you for this video Jay!!! I know Carl and he is well respected in the Ferrari World!! I first meet Carl in 2003 at the Palos Verdes Con Cours in California!!! Thank you !!!
I love the fact that the odometer was left alone. Miles are memories and something to be proud of, & I think the character or personality from those miles still persists even after a restoration.
a friend of mine owns a Peugeot 404 convertible, its a budget car based on the same pininfarina design. Almost all of the lines are the same, just more budget and less sexy.
The lighting really impacts presentation here. Car looks absolutely stunning in darker light; under bright lights that paint looks like it came from an aerosol can
When I was 18 I was apprenticing at a European car repair shop, the first Ferrari 250 I was learning to tune was that engine. It would run on one bank so smooth that you could hardly tell the difference other than the exhaust noise sounding different, smooth. It was such a thrill and treat to work on Ferrari to me back then. Nothing since ever matched the Colombo V12's sound.
A truly exceptional classic Ferrari. The 60's were a fantastic time for these vehicles. This is one of the most beautiful restorations I've ever seen. The old Borrani's, a gorgeous paint job and a wonderful interior. A masterpiece for any collection...
This is one of those cars you can just sit and stare at, gorgeous art. Luckily, it has an incredible engine that’s part of the art as well.. So driving it is a huge part of the enjoyment. Thanks for posting Jay! 👍🏻
Did you notice that when you look at the car, there are no visible body panel seams. The rear fender flows under the door to the front fender, wraps around the front and back - I do not see a visible seam except for the doors, hood and trunk lid. I don't know if there are welds hidden under the paint or if the body shell is literally 1-piece. Amazing effect though.
This video was dropped a little over an hour ago, and at this moment it has about 220 or so comments, but no one has yet mentioned seeing Carl before on JLG. I've known Carl since 1997 when I stopped by a Ferrari shop he was working at in Glendale, Ca. Carl is a good dude. Some of you might recall when he brought in the "Piranha" a few years ago to JLG? I still think it was pretty unfair that all those keyboard warriors that never met him, or knew him, dogpiled on him, and said some awful things. Hell, we're lucky he ever came back with a car after that. And yeah, I defended Carl somewhere in that long thread too. Great work again, Mr. Steuer.... see yuh around.
@@acfiv1421 yeah that’s pretty incredible. They definitely took their sweet time when it came to the design. Which is so obvious when you look at cars today. Thrown together to be put on the market to make $. Every panel needs to be easily replaceable. And all of the crash safety stuff that has to be included in cars nowadays. It’s definitely ruined the overall flow that older vehicles possessed. Timeless is a great word. It’s hard for a modern car to be timeless. Just truth 🤷🏻♂️
Another great episode. These are true car guys. 'We had to put the top up because it's raining' - only true car guys, unpretentious car guys, would take a rare, vintage, pristine and freshly restored Ferrari out for a drive in the rain. Awesome! I love it. Thanks Jay!
I love the sound that trunk made when he let it drop. It didn’t make a big clang, you could hardly hear it. He obviously put a lot of attention to detail.
A great car from the days when Italian chassis manufacturers and independent body builders worked to produce staggeringly beautiful cars. So much in the body design that can be seen on contemporary Lancia and Alfa cars bodied by Italian coachwork firms. The slender screen pillars, the lines that follow through from front to rear, the wrap around rear bumpers and the interior with full instrumentation in a simple, but elegant dashboard. No excess, just great lines and beautiful style. And a car to use - beautiful in every respect. Thanks to both of you for the video. It gives me something to look forward to every week!
This summer I saw one of those. A mechanic from a restoration company drove a survivor with quite some flaws on a lift to power wash the bottom of the car. Even unrestored and rough it was an experience. The more I study the grill of the car the more I am sure that I have exactly that type of grill in my storage. My father used to restore classics in his body shop. A client wanted to replace the front grill of his car. The condition of the old grill was so good that my Dad kept it for ages. Unfortunately he does not know exactly what model it came from. He only remembered: "It was a very old classic Ferrari".
Nice PF , my favorite. When I was about 13 back in 1962 in Phoenix AZ, my dad knew a guy who owned 2 PF's, a Cabriolet and a Coupe', the Cab was red and the Coupe' was silver. He was German. I remember like it was yesterday seeing them both parked in a building which had a large window facing Central Ave downtown Phoenix then. My dad and I, meet him at Sunset Point about 60 miles north of Phoenix on a Sunday, he had the Silver Coupe', my dad and I road up to drive back with him, to the Valley. My dad and I on his new Gold Triumph Bonneville. I remember so well that image, looking inside the Ferrari and seeing that he had his black racing gloves perfectly crossed on the leather hump between the seats, and that ash tray lid that has the flags on it, with a small sign that read" Please Do Not Touch " That was a memory etched in may sole. Hearing it start up, the most beautiful sound and smell of the high octane fuel of the time, and when he drove out of what was then a dirt lot, grabbed a little gravel and spun the revs up through the gears, That was right out of a movie, the only thing that could have made that moment grander, is if Sophia Loren had been driving. Great memories.
Gold and white Triumph Bonneville would have been a 1963 model. First unit construction 650. At that time I was riding pillion behind my dad on an 18hp BMW single, R26, I think. Nice memories.
@@alribee Yea I guess it could have been early 63' Memories get cloudy over the years. My dad was they guy who had to have to first model out as soon as it hit the showroom floor I do remember that, he traded in his BSA Royal Star I think that was the model name, it was dark red. Nice BMW great period for motorcycle design.
I saw one of these- a RHD in azzuro at a ‘balloons and Ferrari’ event at groombridge place just outside Tunbridge wells some years back. The owner had it for some 38 years if I remember it correctly… one thing I do remember is pleading with the friendly owner not to sell her as they were doing the photography for the FOC. She was stunning straddled between the giant sequoia red woods in the grounds. What a machine
Resurrection. What an amazing process. I’ve driven a V12 Jag so I have familiarity with the concept at least. Jay makes this stuff accessible to everyone. Even guys like me who are scraping by. Thanks for that!
Loved the conversation that cranked up @ 17:12 about how many of these car's are still around and running? And especially Carl's statement @ 17:40 about so many being wrecked by rich guys who can afford to buy them, but who cannot drive well enough to keep from wrecking them! So much truth in that statement that I burst out laughing, as I've known quite a few of them!
This is much appreciated ☺️ this is the only channel that I follow that is committed to a video every single week, I've been following you for almost 8 years and you didn't skip a week.. thanks
18:48 Jay: "Was your dad in the car business?" Carl: "He loved Corvairs". ... I wish their Corvair conversation had not been interrupted. Jay's red 1966 Corsa is one of my favorite all-around cars. 🥰
Utterly jaw dropping ! , the restoration, the colour , the interior, the craftsmanship, it reminds me of the 250 GT cabriolet used in the original Pink Panther movie , with David Niven and Peter Sellers. 👍👍👏👏
Old car magazines usually featured the SWB versions so seeing this LWB is a treat. As Jay says, they were just used cars back before everything was commodified. I recall a day/night difference between driving this car with top up and top down. So different that it felt like punishment when the top was up--also, the fabric weather sealing was confining. The motor made all kinds of intricate noises so that turning it off was as notable as turning it on. Beautiful bodywork, but it must have been heavy for the small motor. At higher speeds the car seemed to drift using the Laycock de Normanville OD. The SWB might have handled better. I remember reading about a horrid accident in which a LWB smashed against a tree in the Bois de Boulogne killing its driver, Porfirio Rubirosa, who transitioned into legend. Thank you, Jay.
What an empathetic and all around great guy Jay Leno is! His guest in this video reminds me of many of my "motorhead" friends from my pre-teen, teenage, and later years. They were all, similar to this accomplished auto mechanic and phenomenal Ferrari restorer, Carl Steuer, in that their interpersonal communication skills weren't all that refined. But they all had a remarkable passion for being the best at what they did, and they did it because they liked it! Oftentimes, I've wished that I, too, had that kind of innate drive to be the best. Watching and hearing Jay bring out the heartfelt beliefs and endearing memories of this great guy was a special treat. Almost as remarkable as the fruits of Mr. Steuer's assiduous work, one rare and typically magnificent Ferrari. Thanks immensely to Jay and his verbally taciturn but genuinely authentic guest, Carl!
I love that he says he stayed up until midnight making sure it's ready.Just getting out on the road he tells Jay ,'it likes the revs,take to 6 grand'..n.Not 1 bit worried about the $1/4 mil engine as he'd built it and the car.Well done Sir.May we see more?
I can’t even fathom how much this beautiful example would go for nowadays. It’s fantastic!! 👏🏻❤️ Always great to see some of these classics out and about.. 👍🏻
I found a stack of old Road and Tracks from the mid 60's and another from the late 50's. Even with the dollar transition into current money, Jay is right, they all just became 'used cars'. It's really unbelievable.
I delivered cars for a living for years and have a log of all the cars I have driven. 7,803 to this day including cars I have delivered, owned, rented, borrowed, etc. I should note that I am "only" 57
@@firstnamelastname8060 But how many DIFFERENT kinds of cars? I mean, if I worked for a Ford agency, I would be delivering lots of Fords, but not many Ferrari's. Jay drove a James Bond car in Japan that only a handful have driven. It never leaves the property. How many steam powered driven cars have you driven? Jay owns several. He has a Chrysler with s jet engine. I doubt that a dozen different people have ever driven that thing. If you want your car on the show, you've got to let Jay drive it. Someone who works for a rental agency has probably driven more cars than Jay, but they were all more or less the same car.
@@marshalldunlap8358 I worked for a few different paint shops and classic car dealerships. The number I gave are all different cars, all types. The first car I delivered was a Jaguar. I drove cop cars, PG&E trucks, giant dump trucks, Corvettes, Ferrari's, etc. All vintage cars of all types except for the contracts we had with the city and with the County to paint their vehicles. I was only replying to your exact comment about Jay having the record for most different cars driven.
@Cambron Gabaree What I'm wondering is why he would keep a log of all those rides. I mean, it's just work. I tried not to take it home with me. But thanks for saving me from doing the math myself.
Bet it scared the hell out of him letting someone else drive it even though he knows Jay can drive any car with grace and care . Nothing else like a Vintage Ferrari
Jay is the only other person who I would allow drive any cars I own . He understands how cars should be treated .
No one wants to drive your cars dude lmao
Something about the guy that actually built the car being tired from working on it makes episodes like this the most authentic
@Miles Doyle I'm obviously not going to read all of this but I'm assuming it's on the importance of proper jetting timing and gaping your plugs so 👍👍
I agree, really superb video.

he won't own a Ferrari
He doesn't need to as he has mates like David Lee that can bring there many ferarri's around to show off😊

He does research about every car before every episode. Don't fool yourself.

The Sophia Loren of Italian cars. Beautiful, and with hidden beauty inside.

Another beautiful car. Work of art restoration
This is much appreciated ☺️ this is the only channel that I follow that is committed to a video every single week, I've been following you for almost 8 years and you didn't skip a week.. thanks
Lots of channels put out daily videos.
OMGWTFLOL I'm talking about those that I follow
@@araa3533 lol great answer
Absolutely Gorgeous cars, these. Real moving sculptures.
18:48 Jay: "Was your dad in the car business?" Carl: "He loved Corvairs". ... I wish their Corvair conversation had not been interrupted. Jay's red 1966 Corsa is one of my favorite all-around cars. 🥰
How about the Yenko?
@@pashakdescilly7517 ...Did you watch the video?
Lovely, so lovely,and I am so glad to see and hear it drive.
Jay may God bless you for showing us cars we may never even get to see in real life
Utterly jaw dropping ! , the restoration, the colour , the interior, the craftsmanship, it reminds me of the 250 GT cabriolet used in the original Pink Panther movie , with David Niven and Peter Sellers. 👍👍👏👏
The 250 GT cab was not a Pinin design, it was Scaglietti.
@@AB-80X Its called a PF cabriolate for Pininfarina. Many of the Scagletti built cars were designed by Pininifarina.
@@norberthofer5830 Not the 250 Cali nor the GTO.
Fantastic car. Love the sound of that V12. Quintessentially Italian.
Carl, with huge smile, "I like to make things new."
What a Stunning car. Jay sure knows his stuff. I actually like these segments better than his TV show. More intimate.
what a beautiful car colour sound 😍
Old car magazines usually featured the SWB versions so seeing this LWB is a treat. As Jay says, they were just used cars back before everything was commodified. I recall a day/night difference between driving this car with top up and top down. So different that it felt like punishment when the top was up--also, the fabric weather sealing was confining. The motor made all kinds of intricate noises so that turning it off was as notable as turning it on. Beautiful bodywork, but it must have been heavy for the small motor. At higher speeds the car seemed to drift using the Laycock de Normanville OD. The SWB might have handled better. I remember reading about a horrid accident in which a LWB smashed against a tree in the Bois de Boulogne killing its driver, Porfirio Rubirosa, who transitioned into legend. Thank you, Jay.
That sound was pure music to my ears. I am glad I saw this episode and hope Jay will get more old Ferrari cars on this show. (:
What an empathetic and all around great guy Jay Leno is! His guest in this video reminds me of many of my "motorhead" friends from my pre-teen, teenage, and later years. They were all, similar to this accomplished auto mechanic and phenomenal Ferrari restorer, Carl Steuer, in that their interpersonal communication skills weren't all that refined. But they all had a remarkable passion for being the best at what they did, and they did it because they liked it! Oftentimes, I've wished that I, too, had that kind of innate drive to be the best. Watching and hearing Jay bring out the heartfelt beliefs and endearing memories of this great guy was a special treat. Almost as remarkable as the fruits of Mr. Steuer's assiduous work, one rare and typically magnificent Ferrari. Thanks immensely to Jay and his verbally taciturn but genuinely authentic guest, Carl!
I love that he says he stayed up until midnight making sure it's ready.Just getting out on the road he tells Jay ,'it likes the revs,take to 6 grand'..n.Not 1 bit worried about the $1/4 mil engine as he'd built it and the car.Well done Sir.May we see more?
Wow! Wow! I have no words...
I can’t even fathom how much this beautiful example would go for nowadays. It’s fantastic!! 👏🏻❤️
Always great to see some of these classics out and about.. 👍🏻
I found a stack of old Road and Tracks from the mid 60's and another from the late 50's. Even with the dollar transition into current money, Jay is right, they all just became 'used cars'. It's really unbelievable.
If there was a Guinness Book of Records for how many different cars a person has driven, Jay would own it.
I delivered cars for a living for years and have a log of all the cars I have driven. 7,803 to this day including cars I have delivered, owned, rented, borrowed, etc.
I should note that I am "only" 57
@@firstnamelastname8060 But how many DIFFERENT kinds of cars? I mean, if I worked for a Ford agency, I would be delivering lots of Fords, but not many Ferrari's. Jay drove a James Bond car in Japan that only a handful have driven. It never leaves the property. How many steam powered driven cars have you driven? Jay owns several. He has a Chrysler with s jet engine. I doubt that a dozen different people have ever driven that thing.
If you want your car on the show, you've got to let Jay drive it. Someone who works for a rental agency has probably driven more cars than Jay, but they were all more or less the same car.
@@marshalldunlap8358 I worked for a few different paint shops and classic car dealerships. The number I gave are all different cars, all types. The first car I delivered was a Jaguar. I drove cop cars, PG&E trucks, giant dump trucks, Corvettes, Ferrari's, etc. All vintage cars of all types except for the contracts we had with the city and with the County to paint their vehicles.
I was only replying to your exact comment about Jay having the record for most different cars driven.
@Cambron Gabaree What I'm wondering is why he would keep a log of all those rides. I mean, it's just work. I tried not to take it home with me. But thanks for saving me from doing the math myself.
The front end is gorgeous. Hood scoup and grill are magnifique.
Beautiful. This is why I watch this channel. I was getting kind of worried the last few weeks. Gorgeous work of art. Thanks Jay.👍😎🤩
every monday they upload a new video, even in the last weeks, youtube just stopped sending notifications for this channel.
You can tell this car kicked this man's butt. He looks like a person that wants to set this beautiful machine on fire......lovingly.
I usually skip around, I watched it beginning to end, every second of this episode.
200 made and half still on the road beautiful well made things get preserved.
Wow , vintage Ferrari's are so stunning
What a beautiful car, the early ones were so elegant. The sound of that beautiful V12
Bet it scared the hell out of him letting someone else drive it even though he knows Jay can drive any car with grace and care . Nothing else like a Vintage Ferrari
Thanks Carl and Jay!
When they show the front grill, I think of Cameron kicking it in Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Me too ! Hahahahaha
@@keithschneidly3922 Cameron doesn’t like Cameron
@@BalrogUdun Let my Cameron goooo....🎵
That Ferrari just creates the atmosphere around it.
Love the conversation! Love the car! Love the sound it makes! Love this channel!
Ooof what a car. Absolute stunner.
that blue is amazing
Love the idea of the owner telling Jay you need to rev it out to 6,000, yes please, epic car, so beautiful in blue, Rj in Oz
They really are beautiful cars. One of the best looking front engined roadsters of all time.
Now that's a Ferrari I would love to have.
Same here Al
Just beautiful, unlike modern vehicles this beauty is also a work of art, like many machines of the past. Style never goes out of fashion.
17:44 Jays pet peeve: inoperable Horn Button in restored classic.
When jay restores a classic he fixes the Horn first then works 🧰 🔨 🎨 from there.

Well, to be fair, this drive was the shake-down cruise.
Wow.. That is a beauty from all aspects.. The color though is marvelous
It looks beautiful and sounds great! Thanks!
i used to live in Burbank and would always see Jay Leno driving around in his beautiful cars, i do miss it
