Comedy legend and car lover Jay Leno was spotted cruising through LA traffic in a rather vintage Bentley.

The pre-war 1930s car was previously showcased on the star’s very own YouTube channel.

However, this time, he was captured alongside cars that had been produced almost a century after his own.

Jay’s trip in his historic car caught the attention of online gearheads, with many in awe of his wheels.

It’s not every day you spot Jay Leno in a pre-war car

Jay Leno is known for being a car enthusiast almost as much as he is for starring on TV.

From flashy new supercars to EVs, Jay often premieres exclusive looks at vehicles on his channel.

Content creator petertheleader shared Jay’s cruising adventure for all to see, with the Bentley’s striking shell on show.

“You’re not from LA if you haven’t randomly seen the Legend Jay Leno cruising around at least once in your life.

“Wait for the horn, He made my day,” captioned the creator.

As you can imagine, the TV legend really stood out amongst the sea of hardtop cars, and people couldn’t help but talk about the ride at hand.

“That horn is the icing on the cake,” said one user.

“This was my experience when I saw him. Top down just cruising,” commented another.

“Guy loves his vintage cars, that’s for sure,” said a third.

The Bentley is a 1930s classic

Jay’s ride really is a time capsule, with the car originally being produced in the 20th century.

The Bentley is no ordinary powerhouse, though, as it actually has a 27-liter Merlin aircraft engine.

Thanks to the sheer size of the plane engine, it reportedly weighs over 3,500 lbs.

“It’s hard to give you an idea of how big this car is,” he previously stated on his channel.

The cabin of the Bentley even resembles a cockpit, too, with many gages that wouldn’t look out of place in a small plane.

The winning feature, though? The vintage horn.
