Chantry Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not exactly a factory option, they put a V-12 Merlin on a Bentley frame. 27 Liters = 1650 cubic inches, they down rated the engine from approximately 1500 hp to between 650-700 hp. Jay has his own channel on Youtube: Jay Leno's garage, which is a great way to waste time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Putting the other car next to it didn't really show the size, at least not to me. What really showed how big the car was was when he got behind the wheel. He looked like a 10-year-old kid in his daddy's Peterbilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 According to a Motor Authority article in November 2012, the price to purchase that the owner would accept would have had to exceed Pounds 500,000, or more than $800,000. The article said the horsepower was around 850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I though I had a "hot" engine in my BMW M car, but this...................................??? And I agree with Alpo, Jay Leno looks like a ten year old that stole his Daddy's car to go for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was riding with a group north of LA one day when Jay drove by in a similar two seater that was very big. He stood up and waved to all of us as we passed by. (There were more than 50 bikes.)

If you go to Jay Leno garage on his YouTube channel and search his “restoration updates” you’ll trip across that one. I’ve seen it, but just don’t remember.
