1962 Daimler SP250

Jay Leno has a 1962 Daimler SP250 in his collection, but it was formerly in the possession of Bob Brzozowski. Apparently, he nearly forgot that he even had it because he left it in his backyard, where it dealt with the rain and snow for four decades. The talk show host somehow learned about it and bought it from him. After its restoration, the first ride did not go very smoothly. There is footage of it, but it turned out to be a bad idea since the engine almost kicked out. Fortunately, Leno was able to make it home despite its slowness. The Daimler retained its 2.5-L V8 Hemi but needed more work. It used to be sold for $3,750, but its current value stands at $56,500.

1963 Ford Falcon Sprint

Bring a Trailer sold a 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint to Jay Leno not even 24 hours after it was on the market. This is a good example of his wide-ranging taste when it comes to cars! The comedian fell in love with this model ever since he was a lot boy at a Ford dealership. Of course, this happened before he made it big. He has described the model this way: “big engine, small car.” The vehicle comes with a 2.6-L V8 engine. Before it made its way to his hands, it had seen an upgrade in the form of a 289 V8 engine that was capable of reaching 360 hp. Aside from that, it also received a Monte Carlo brace for improved balance. The car was originally sold for $1,974. However, its value has since climbed to $33,000.
