    I had one, among the fastest and best looking of all my collection. I was 10 years old & kept them all in a box under my bed.

    My grandfather bought one of these new in 1971, silver with black leather. He lived in the Italian Alps, and this car was amazing on mountain roads and the autostrada. Luckily, my grandfather and some of his friends were expert mechanics used to Italian cars, so maintaining it was easy. Seeing these cars in pictures or on tv doesn't do them justice. They are really gorgeous, not as gorgeous as the Miura perhaps, but truly unique. Unlike so many cars today, every ride was an adventure. The overpowering smell of leather when you opened the door, the artistic details, the incredible speed. But what stands out in my mind the most was the engine. It wasn't just loud (and it was LOUD) it was multi-layered mechanical music. It somehow sound beautiful and brutal at the same time.

    At the risk of sounding incredibly corny, the thing I love about Jay's videos is he's not elitist and he's not a know-it-all and he's not a jaxkass. and after about 10 minutes you feel like you're hanging out with one if your college buddies and he's just really excited and wouldn't have as much fun if you weren't there with him

    Jay is basically a living breathing encyclopedia of automotive history knowledge, truly a treasure of a man. And when he talks to the camera it feels like he’s your favorite uncle joking around with you on a Sunday afternoon

    The Espada is one of the most underrated super cars. Love it

    Such a beautiful car with classy lines and a singing V12. I love it! Harry Metcalfe is one of the best motoring journalists - with a great taste in cars - I know. Check out his channel "Harry's garage".

    I especially love this type of video where Jay talks about his own cars, just by himself. His passion and love for them is so obvious and genuine. Oh, and the Espada is incredible ☺

    Jay . . . you made a remark about 10-11 minutes into this video: "This was my only car for a while" How long has it been since you've had one car?

    Love how Jay talks like he's in love. That's probably because he is.

    I just love how down to earth and real Jay Leno is despite the fact he’s worth $400 million. He just seems like someone you could chat and have a beer with. I guess thats the difference between someone that inherits their millions to someone that works hard for their money! Keep up the good work Jay! Love your show!

    I fell in love with the Espada as a teen. This was an era of truly gorgeous cars. The Maserati Bora, Merak and Montreal, the Lamborghini range, the Monteverdi Hai 450 and 375/4, the Tomaso Mangusta and Pantera, the Ferrari range, Jenson Interceptor and the FF, and many others, so many gorgeous sports cars.
