The man knows how to make a UA-cam video. No fluff, no music, just to the point.
Music over the engine is the supreme sin.
Jay was no-doubt the maestro playing that S&S Morgan like a Stradivarius!
Then there's the cnbc version of his show
100th like. :)
Probably has more to do with the editors. But I'd imagine Jay wouldn't want any music playing over the engine sound
A bonus of living in LA is sometimes spotting Jay Leno driving around in one of his rides. Saw him stopped at a red light once in this 3 wheel Morgan. He is a very cool dude. He complimented my motorcycle and gave me a fist bump. Stay Awesome Jay ! 👊
Pics or it didn't happen
Awesome!
@@andrewnorris5415 I believe it , the channel effspot said he sees jay at cars and coffee all the time in Malibu and has said multiple times Jay is a nice guy and is approachable and talks to people , what they said doesn’t sound too far fetched at all
Way cool! I've always thought he's one in a million.
I’ve actually seen him a few different times. You can immediately recognize him in his signature denim. Plus he’s always driving something cool or unusual. He doesn’t just do it for the cameras, he really loves to drive.
That time was special for me because I was riding my KTM and stopped next to him at a red night. He was genuinely friendly.
I love these 'Pandemic' episodes, Jay is more himself with less people around and it really comes through on the camera!
I love how it’s painted like a fighter plane and he does a preflight
Having ridden in one multiple times as a kid. Add wings and it will fly.
Needs a couple of .303 MGs on the front and be next 007 car..😁😁🍺🍺
@@franktaeterUSA All you need is a good ole Vickers onto a curving ramp for your copilot to ... hum... well you see :)
You always do a preflight on a Morgan
Jay should have been wearing leather flying helmet and goggles.
Britain " They got you by the bore" . Great line, Jay....
You know your in a small car when a Lotus passing you is bigger than the car your in. The Morgan 3 wheeler as a toy is an understatement.
Pretty sure that was a Tesla Roadster.
@@BubbaSmurft lotus evora
@@Hauuy-el1vv Thanks for settin' me straight. I've ordered new glasses.
@@BubbaSmurft haha good one!
I thought that was a Lotus
I prefer the Pandemic Edition format. Just Jay and whatever he’s talking about.
I've always much preferred these to the NBC shows but yes, even more so, now. Very casual, and Jay being Jay.
@@mgscheue I hate the NBC show. Too gimmicky and catering to the lowest common denominator
This is my dream car, it's sort of attainable and you don't need to go silly speeds to have fun, it's perfect
It probably won't use much fuel, tyres or brakes either, since it's light and has a pretty non-exotic engine!
AND Morgans hold their value exceptionally well, some of them actually go up in value, so I bet the total cost of ownership on these is actually incredibly low compared to say an ordinary "nice" car like a BMW 5-series, which will drop a bunch of value as soon as you drive it away from where you purchased it!
@@ZIGZAG12345 of course if you want to go fast S&S engines are very customizable!
Nice handling too, tail-happy without being snappy! And the open "cockpit" and skinny tyres all make you think you are going so much faster. You can enjoy the handling without going crazy speeds, a bit like the gt86.
There used to be kits for sale in USA
@@MrRourk maybe they’ll put a kit together and ship it to you for the right money
That look of that bus approaching from the rear at the stop light was terrifying.
I had the same thoughts🤣
City traffic is terrifying. We just get used to it.
What I love about watching Mr.leno videos is it doesn't feel like a car commercial. It feels like I'm watching my grandpa talk about cars. Even tho he isn't that much older than me and I remember watching him late night in my 20s lol .
Just needs a row of Iron Crosses on the ‘fuselage’ to indicate each time you’ve beaten a Mercedes or BMW off the lights !!
While the fighter plane reference is appropriate, it'd likely be just the one for when the driver was texting and didn't realize the light was green.
Morgan 3wheelers may be a motorcycle type back-road cruising experience and beautifully balanced, but the factory engine (89kw/136nm), drive wheel traction (only ~31% of the slightly over 550kg curb weight) means even with the short gearing that makes ratios so fun to switch through low speed corners, it won't exactly drag racing anything. You can unironically launch any a base spec golf (or basically any of the other post 2015 euro hatches with more than 1400cc) harder and get a simlar 0-60, or for the bigger sedans any of the BMW/Merc v8's since the 90's will finish a quarter faster. The Morgan was just never about producing good on paper numbers or shaving tenths off a track time reliably, instead its an experience, a look/uniqueness that no factory sport package can bring to a cookie cutter commuter car, and for that reason I dearly hope they can find a way to keep them safe and clean enough to maintain some limited production for the next decade or so... but your not gaining any trophies in it anytime soon.
@Suck my Bollackits Ahh yes, how could we ever beat the wisdom of a3 day old troll account. Is "Suck my Bollackits" the first name for this entity, or have you already renamed a few times?
Surely a Messerschmitt or Heinkel Bubble Car
Not a good idea these days, people will just assume you are a nazi
Yeah the car came with that option but the score is still zero. Maybe one day he'll get the jump on a c220 diesel
Oh a Morgan that Richard Hammond hasn't crashed.
Yet. There is still a chance he will.
Mr. Leno beat him to it.
Give it time
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Hammond ever crashing a Morgan. He loves Morgan's
Give him time...
Part biplane, part motorcycle. Love the idea. This is for when a lotus 7 feels too advanced. This is like snoopy's Sopwith Camel
If this pandemic continues for another 238 years, Jay may run out of vehicles to feature for Leno's Garage!
Wonderful review Mr Leno, cracking little cars, aren't they!
Crack is whack yo
I have to be completely honest and say that the driving sections of these "pandemic edition" videos are even better than the regular videos! Obviously the regular segment of talking about the car is much better and more personable too!
Funny, as Mr Leno went over the car I thought “What about heat?”, then he discussed the jacket. Never gave a thought to heat in one of these before. Thank you for sharing.
Most every rider will get heated gear at some point….very much extends the riding season.
I seem to recall that way back in the past some of the British guys who'd been in the RAF in WW2 on bombers adapted their heated bomber jackets(which you kinda need at 20,000 feet in a plane with open holes in it) to work in open top cars.
@@jonnycando Agreed, it just never hit me before thinking of a modern Morgan.
Here's how Red Green did it ... ua-cam.com/video/ScxCP1Ttel4/v-deo.html
I love walking past the Morgan factory! Fascinating to see all the cars parked outside 🙏🏻
Peter Sellars drove one in the 60's movie "The Party" That is where I first saw one and fell in love with it. Thanks Jay for sharing these wonderful and unique cars with us.
Love that movie!
These are such fun cars - I loved driving one last year, so expensive for what they are mind you (the one I drove was circa £50K!!) ....possibly THE most fun I've had in a car though...
A leather helmet and goggles would be perfectly justifiable when you're driving one of those. (At least a pair of sunglasses would be prudent, given the chance of something hitting the eyes.)
Just the wind will bother your eyes. You need eye protection for this.
@@vika0194 It has windshields
@@artofshootinginmotion2871 Won’t help you. Just look at them.
@@vika0194 Even the smaller one on KTM works well with air moving away from in in speed. Form Jay face it looks like they are enugh
I'd say the leather helmet and goggles were a prerequisite for driving a 3 wheel Morgan. Oh, and a scarf.
Greetings from the UK, the Morgan factory is about 8 miles from where I live and I have never been there, must visit and see these quirky cars some time, and great review as always..
I remember back in 2011 when I was doing work experience at the Morgan factory and I found out that Jay was visiting later that day. I managed to get a photo with him in the 3-Wheeler but I was so starstruck I didn't know what to say. Still made for a good story the next day at school though.
Jay Leno “vehicular encyclopedia”
thanks Jay!!! Thumbs up this comment
for Appreciation of JAY LENO!✨🌟✨🌟
Thumbs up this comment for appreciation of losers begging for online likes lol.
Fantastic, "The Pandemic Series". I love it, great job Jay. Keep them coming. This video I really enjoy. Now I see these 3 wheelers made by CAM I think. They make sense to me. Good job...
The can-am and the morgan 3wheeler are 2 different brands and models. Both huge fun, I think!
Maybe thinking of Polaris Slingshot. CAN AM Spyder is a sit on 3-wheeler handles like a snowmobile. IMHO
Morgan may not get on it like the Slingshot but its got more character.
The Morgan has a lot more style than the Slingshot or CanAm..... totally different beast.
I'm from Minnesota. I did sixth grade in SoCal long ago. If the temperature hit 50 ( F ), I had classmates who came to school wearing parkas and mittens. They asked me if I was cold. My standard response was," You people don't know what cold is."
For us, here in Cali, if the temp. drops to 50 or less, it's darn cold, ant if it goes above 80 degrees, it's scorching hot! :-)
Back in my racing days, I had a guy on my team who was a Vietnam "Graduate." He was from the same city in Wisconsin as me, but te said, after a few months in 'Nam, if the temperature dropped to the 70s, he'd bundle up in a flight jacket and gloves whenever he had to leave his hooch---which was heated by a 50 gallon drum stove fired with aviation gas. It drove home the meaning of "acclimatized." I've also heard native Floridians can tell non natives at a glance by whether or not they have beads of sweat on their faces---and now, in my Old Age, I have my thermostat set at 76 and find myself shivering. Yikes. "Aging is not for wimps," is so true! Stay safe.
Jay, if there ever was an award to give to a man who has done more for raising the awareness of motorcars of all kinds, then you should be given a lifetime achievement award! You are filled with so much knowledge and have rescued so many divergent types of vehicles and then take the time to share this with us on your shows across all media. You are a world treasure to the motorcar world! Thank you for what you do and the man you are! Many of us love cars and don't have the means to do what you do and we live vicariously through you. You are the best and thank you for what you do and the obviously high standards you undertake with each car you save - and - the best part is that you drive these vehicles and appreciate them instead of just letting them sit to be dusted by someone else. I would never have cared much for this particular three-wheeled car, but you raise the bar and show us why it is noteworthy!
You needed a pair of goggles to look really cool Jay !!!👀👀
And a flying jacket.
@@ianjoyce5120 Yeah, and we can't forget the scarf, " Snoopy "😁😁
@@ianjoyce5120
And a Biggles scarf 🧣
LL Cool Jay?
No bro. The glasses need Jay to look cool. 😎
The only thing good about the pandemic is my weekly one on one with Jay Leno. I really like this format. It's much more personal. Maybe after things get back to 'normal' we can still get one of these types of videos on occasion. Thanks again Jay
Thanks Jay, I like the simplicity, basic no idiot devices just a return to the love of driving.
More subscribers than the other channels that keep shopping new supercars, destroying them, showing off, creating drama! Nope! All it takes is a real passionate guy...
I don't watch all of Jay's series, but when I do watch them .. I feel like I learn something new every time! I think Jay will become our generation's car historian with all of his series. I love to see him do these shows, as you can feel his passion for cars. I have learned a lot about cars and just taking care of them from this show! thank you Jay!!
Hey Jay! I love your car collection and the fact that you actually drive them!
That's the difference. Jay drives his cars whilst others just admire them, usually in a closed collection not viewable by the public. I'm very grateful Jay chooses to share his collection and his driving experiences with others.
13.38: That lorry coming up looked ominous from the low angle of the Morgan.
Bus*
@@Zzutubez I stand corrected, thank you.
I thought about the gas tank located right behind Jay. Not much protection in a rear end.
All part of the adventure, in a Morgan, everything amplified.
It sure did.
Jay, you've got it just right. It's all about the driving feel. I paused the video to look up the weight. Power-to-weight ratio? Brilliant! A little over 1,100 lbs. with 115 HP? Perfect. Thanks again for a great episode.
Sometimes I see the thumbnail for a car I don't think I would be interested in, but Jay always makes any car interesting so I watch every episode now. Its the storytelling that makes the show special.
Really cool new episode Jay, I really enjoy hearing you go through the history and changes of a vehicle, the evolution over the years and the problems that caused the change.
I got to ride in one of the original Morgan’s when I was a kid and it really did feel like we were flying in a piper cub or similar aircraft, thanks for the memories Jay!
Man there is just soo much about this channel to love. The Jim Clark mural on the wall, the Lotus Evora sightings while Jay is leaving his place, the fact that as soon as he started up, I instantly thought "Sopwith Camel" only to have Jay say the same thing just minutes later.
Long Live Leno!
Short but sweet ! I think this means both the show and the Morgan Jay. Thanks Jay. Very much appreciated.
i think its cool i'm 76 and have never seen 1...... thank you jay ;)
Remembering when Hammond drove this..
He did some 'Tight' Donuts =)
Great video as always. This is the best car channel on UA-cam. Like someone else has mentioned, no fluff, no nonsense and no music. Just what you came here to see and hear.
I love Jay's videos! He always manages to put a smile on my face.
protect jay at all costs
Charming, brings me back to the essential joy of driving. Now I'll get back in my soulless electric appliance and play with the apps!
Just the pure joy of driving. Who needs a supercar if you can have one of those!
They are still really expensive :(
@@limonadd8252 indeed very expensive. However I would take one over every Supercar if I could afford one.
@@thomashaupt79 yes same for me, it just looks like pure fun!
I Love these "Covid versions" of Jay Leno's Garage. So much more personal. You really get to see all the passion, love and care behind the car collection. 💖💖💖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love how the driver cabin is shaking from that V-twin! :D
I really enjoy watching your videos jay so relaxing and I get to learn cool things about cars
I will never forget this video because a house fire started above me half way through. Now I'm back from getting stitches in my hand from breaking in through a window. I put it out. Everything is fine except my hand and the window. Fun times Jay. Fun times.
A modern Morgan 3 wheeler is #2 on my bucket list. Thank you for the ride Jay!
"if your in Quebec there's about 3 days you can use it" - love it
Maybe three months?
You can drive a 3 wheeler on a motorcycle licence in the UK (providing its under a certain weight). This was a big attraction when they were first made.
Another interesting information. Thank you...
We love Jay. A man who spends more time showing us his car collection than we do driving ours. Thanks for the much needed fun.
I too own a 2014 Morgan Three Wheeler. I am now the 3rd owner having bought the car from a gentleman in Houston. Such a joy to drive as you pointed out. Thanks for adding this car to your pandemic series! Definitely not an introvert’s car!
"Having trouble getting off the ground Wing Commander?" - English Traffic Police
Hello from the UK Jay! All the best.
Irishman in London here. Hey from Irelamd & England. 👌😜👌
Hi from Scotland!
We just need someone from Wales to complete it now!
Mother in law lives on Anglesey-does that count?(My UA-cam account image is taken driving through one of the Conwy tunnels)
Hi Mr Leno,
Morgan has a new 3 wheeler, the super 3. Having fun driving is not just about the car, it's also about the roads. In Quebec, we have the most thrilling roads in the Laurentians Mountains. Narrow roads with a succession of curves going up and down like a roller coaster that will make you feel like a kid again. Even if we are in a northern climate, we have more than just three days to enjoy riding in an open cockpit, but if you only have three days, I could show you around! Have a nice day!
Ahhh, soothing. Could watch these vids all day.
Peter Sellers drove a Morgan in "The Party".. check it out
perhaps the funniest film ever xD
Hrundi V. Bakshi =)
First thing I thought of. May have been his funniest movie. “Gotcha Injun!”
How-dee Paht-i-nehrd!
Imagine doing 115mph in this, would feel like flying a Spitfire, so much fun.
And then bugs in your face
More like a Jenny in a dive, I'd think
115 would have to be perfect conditions and you still couldn’t pay me! I’ve hit 85 and that’s about my limit. The car gets a bit “flighty” in the lane over 80.
@@loganfutbol21 I bet the pucker factor at that speed is quite intense
@@loganfutbol21 It'd probably feel totally different out on the salt or an airstrip where your "lane" is dozens of meters wide, and surrounded mostly by open flat land instead of vehicles/barriers to crash into. Its disturbingly easy to actually overrun the end of runway in a normal car because it doesn't feel like your moving fast, or really even approaching it at all, then suddenly the thresholds passed... unlike an aircraft where your looking down from enough height that it feels continuously approaching.
I love this man! I’m not afraid to scream it from the rooftops. I LOVE JAY LENO!!! When Morgan announced they were going to be building these, I immediately got on the list, but I guess that didn’t go very far. I was with my GF in a Beverly Hills and saw it drive by- I had to leave the store and follow the car... Never saw who was driving it. BLESS YOU, JAY! BLESS YOU!!!
Thank you Mr. Leno for featuring this car. I love the vintage style too( It is my favorite part.). When I’m older and retired I might try to get one of these. The fun factor from riding so low seems to be too good to pass up. Take care my friend and stay safe. 😊 ✌️
The predecessor to the Can-Am Spyder, at least that's what it looks like.Neat paint job and nod to the WW II nose designs of some planes.
It's hilarious that you can get snow track and ski kits for the Spyder now. Seeing how it was borne by putting tires on a snowmobile.
Or the Polaris Slingshot
@@MrLundefaret Slingshot is a totally different beast. Spyder is a sit on vehicle and handles a lot like its snowmobile predecessor. Slingshot is a sit-in much like the Morgan but with a car engine and car tires for much different handling than either of the other two.
@@alanploetz7100 Yes, but you talked about the predecessor. The Morgan Three Wheeler is a three wheeled car. The Can Am is a snowmobile with wheels. The Slingshot is a three wheeled car with more grip and a stronger engine. So I would argue that the Slingshot has a lot more in common with the Morgan than the Can Am. But its OK if you don't agree.
I absolutely love Morgan, especially the 3 wheeler. I hope to be able to afford one some day. With the fighter plane livery it looks alot like the one Richard Hammond drove on Top Gear. If I had one I'd want to wear a white scarf and a leather helmet with goggles so I looked the part. Thanks.
Hope you will enjoy it once...
😀
Jay, thanks so much again. I love these pandemic editions and they help greatly with well-being.
This is a dream car of mine. It's the antidote of the sterile modern automotive industry, where everything has to be "smart" and efficient. I saw one at a car show once and it was sad to see nobody paying attention to it, it was surrounded by motorcycles which are much more of the liking of the average person. I will probably never be able to own one, but driving it in Assetto Corsa is so much fun. Just seeing the thumbnail put a huge smile in my face, like few things do these days. Between this and the reveal of Gordon Murray's T50s, today was a good day. Thank you Jay.
I can’t explain why I want one of these so bad. I really want one though.
I cannot explain aswell... I bought one after seeing this.. :)
@@guyfromfrance You lucky guy!
The 3-wheel tax situation also affected the UK version of the Isetta. The 3-wheeler was much more popular thanks to the tax benefits.
...and you could drive it on a motorbike licence, which was a big plus.
Thank You Jay, I purchased last year à M3Wheeler thanks to this episode, I am so HAPPY with it.
Once again, we LOVE your motor-shows. ❤
Great content again Jay and team. Helping us all to (mentally) build the dream garage on the other side of the pandemic.
The real reason the 3 wheeler was built was because you can drive them on a motorbike license in GB. No car license needed!
Agreed, Tim but in earlier years reverse gear had to be blanked off or otherwise disabled or you needed the car license.
@@jamesoates1334 I didn't know that James 👍
My uncle always had 3 wheelers as he only had a motorbike licence. Sent it off to the dvla for change of address in the 70's,came back as a full licence. Bye bye reliant! Ta very much
My late dad, born 1916 passed his motorcycle test (on a Douglas) in UK; he drove cars all his adult life.. he never had to take a car driving test.
was drivers liscense for cars hard to come by
My Grandfather had the original Matchless version.
I recently did a couple of laps round a race track in Spain in one. Matchess engine, great fun.
These pandemic videos are the best. Just Jay, us, and the motor vehicle.
Hey Mr. Leno, thank you so much for sharing your passion of motoring. Such a pleasure and privilege to watch your episodes. Thanks again. Best wishes for you and yours. Humbly in Ohio.
12:35 driver was jealous of you Jay.
S&S 82hp
Mine is a 2013 and is build # in the 900’s
I love jay leno, you know he Is rich as hell, Has these cars most of us can only dream about but he still comes across as just a regular guy
You nailed it.
It's a blessing that someone with his resources is interested and clued up enough to keep all the really interesting stuff still working, a rich man's hobby done right with a lot of historically significant stuff kept in good working condition for future generations to hopefully find it as interesting as we do!
Those are such cool cars and when you see them in person they have such an attention to detail.
"3 days to use it in Quebec..." And 2 of them are gonna be cloudy!
The sound remains me of driving a go cart
Only if it's a Harley Davidson powered golf cart!
Thanks for the fun ridealong!
I just wanted to give you a quick ‘Thanks’ for keeping the flame burning during these certain times. I really like this laid back- fireside chat style that you are using. Just you and the car........perfect!
It used to be the case that you could drive a three-wheeler on a motorbike licence, rather than a car licence, which made it more accessible to a lot of people...
The main point of the 3 wheelers such as the Morgan and the Reliant Robin was that it could be driven on a Motor Bike license
Yip, and you pay tax. he got that whole bit horribly wrong
Yeah the greatest recreation from the past, I really appreciate your showing us your little beauty, Rj in Oz
I don't envy many people but Jay Leno does live the life.
I guarantee you would NEVER hear "ow, my hair" from me! Especially if I ever got to ride in any/all of your car's with you!
Also at the time it could be driven on a motorcycle license.
Absolutely fantastic. What fun, especially driving those mountains.
Pouring down in lockdown uk. This is just great to watch. Thanks Jay.
I highly doubt the harley jacket is made in USA!!??
I love Jay's episodes but he makes me laugh when he says "well this car hasn't been a problem for me in 8 years". Of course it has not given you a problem, man! You have put a maximum of 2000 miles in those 8 years!
I've always wondered what Jay's daily driver is, wouldn't surprise me if its something like a Prius or Nissan Rogue! LOL
@@prophetmargin7497 has Tesla’s but he drives all his cars, he use bring all of them to the tonight show when he was hosting
@Suck my Bollackits did you not see the persons post that I commented to ? I don’t care if he has Tesla’s or not either was just pointing something out
when I was a kid; we had a neighbor who had a baby blue Morgan roadster. I loved it. The guy also had an MG TD, and drove both all the time
Jay is SUCH a freaking GOOD GUY!!!!!!!!!!... one of the very few famous people, who are basically just like the average person.... Jay is a solid dude.... Very nice, and legit person. He has heart, and passion, and that is wonderful!!!
“Got you by the bore” that’s the government for you.
Doug the type of guy to...
Wait wrong channel
The Pandemic episodes are the very best from the garage series. Thanks Jay for sharing all the great cars you have 😀
You showed one of my favorites on my birthday, thanks Jay!
