Jay Leno’s 1940 Lagonda V12 - Jay Leno’s Garage

The 1940 Lagonda V12 is a unicorn of classic cars originally produced between 1938 and 1940, right before World War II started, so you know, they had to put the brakes on production... A car like this one went to the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans and finished 3rd overall! It’s like seeing your grandma running a marathon in a fur coat and pearls. Anyway, if you see someone driving a Lagonda V12, give them a wave. They’ve either got a lot of money, a lot of patience, or a lot of luck. Probably all three!
