"It's a car. It should be able to drive itself to a car show." - I wish more collectors shared that sentiment.

The Merlin was nothing short of sheer genius. Originally designed to produce 1000hp, later versions (the Merlin 130) went to 2070hp. Props to Jay for his touching tribute to the folks who built and flew this amazing engine.

It's so great that Jay keeps reminding us through out his presentation why this engine was built in the first place and keeps giving credit to the men and women who sacrificed so much. Jay is reminding us of the magnificence of this engine and it's big part in history and he is so proud to own it.

I enjoy the fact that There is no BS from Jay. He is so knowledgeable, really does his homework and if he doesn't know something he is not ashamed to say so. Humble and happy to learn more, he doesn't always have to be the smartest guy in the room. It makes his presentations so good and never boring. Thank you Jay.

People are still commenting on this a year later....

[geoffcrisp]

What a brilliant guy Jay is, to put that plaque on the engine as a tribute to a guy he never knew is something really special.

[rpdobbler]

As an Auto enthusiast, I've never been disappointed by an episode of em all, for their unique-ness...this episode is no different

Nobody else bring this kind of content to Youtube or anywhere else.
Thanks to Jay and his crew, these videos are such a wonderful gift to the world!

A car which has an engine note that's the sound of victory

[dickdanger]

I like how Jay gies credit to the guys who did all the work!

This car will be Jay's legacy. It's absolutely gorgeous. I'm a Rolls-Royce owner and I think this is more of a 'real' Rolls-Royce than a new Wraith. Well done to all who were involved. This is a masterpiece for the ages.

My father Norman More was a flight mechanic in England during the battle of Britain, so nice to see a credit to people like him who kept these awsum machine's running, thanks Jay, brought a tear to my eye.

[phillipleeds]

Nice touch with the memorial plaque. Well done. Lest we forget the people and what those machines were made for.

[craigoliveira]

This is hands down the most beautiful automobile i have ever laid my eyes on.

[clarissagun]

I love the sound of a Rolls Merlin engine, absolutely beautiful.

[michaelhayward]

Stunning engine.
Stunning bodywork.
Stunning build.
Very very understated. As if a Brit had built it, ie no bling, which is a huge compliment to Jay and his workforce. You cannot buy taste and class. Kudos.

[racerd]

This is what I love about Jay, he gives you a lesson in engineering, history and his RESPECT for the men and women that served. THANK YOU SOOOO much JAY, your the best.

[derekmills]

What an astounding piece of engineering - the engine, transmission and bodywork.
Mr Leno, you have some world class engineers maintaining your collection. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[gregwelch]

Class act Mr Leno. Thank you for paying tribute the history and lives lost to protect our freedoms.

[felipegacitua]

I don't think there is a car in the world that suits you more than this beast! What a machine. Like a custom tailored suit. She's a beauty
