McLaren M1A - Jay Leno's Garage

Our Austrian guy is a walking encyclopedia of racing history around the evolution of this fine race car! What a video!

The Austrian guy is a great ambassador for Austria. Hugely knowledgeable and so passionate about the cars. This is a fantastic episode.

This Egon Zweimiller sure knows his cars. This was a real treat.

Egon is one of the best interviews ever on this channel.

That “yea” at the end from Jay I felt that excitement

I love the dollar sign on the tach!😂 Egon sure knows his McLaren and general car history...Holy crap! Guy's like an encyclopedia! The car is amazing, and that sound....I feel bad for the kids of the future, who will never experience cars this raw and fun. Thanks to McLaren and Egon for letting us see this work of art, and thanks to Jay and the Crew for another great episode! Hugs for Mavis, too...✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Love how Jay and the owner get more enthusiastic as they talk about the car. It looked like Jay was surprised by the vast knowledge of the owner.

Nice to see a true car guy chat with Jay. They've both love cars AND reading about them. It's cool they like Elvis too.

I don't think I've ever seen Jay listen so intently to one of his guests. Egon is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge, and Jay was soaking it up like a sponge. That aspect was as enjoyable as the car itself. Hats off to the Leno crew for another great video.

At first when I heard the guy got it for Elvis, I was like.. well that’s a shame, but man - this guy knows his stuff and a real car enthusiast! Great video.

How can you not love this Austrian man. You couldn't ask for a better caretaker of an amazing car. Knowing there's people like this there, makes me want to take a trip to his beautiful country.

If that is not the best guest ever, he is in the top 3! So knowledgeable and humble about what this car really is! Thanks to all of your guys that put this together for us to enjoy.

One of the best interviews yet. Something about Egon just clicked with me, not only knowledgable but a cool personality.

This has to be one of the best, if not the best, episode of this show yet. It had a beautiful , historic car with an incredible exhaust note that also had an extensive, active and diverse past. There was an owner that knew just as much (if not more) than Jay about the car, and the period in which it was made, and, for the first time in ages, the conversation was smooth and flowing, without any moments of noteworthy awkwardness. And to top it all off, the car was so good to actually drive that we got a show of genuine excitement and energy from Jay at the very end during the driving portion. Even the overall duration of the video was right in the sweet spot (in my opinion, at least) for the YouTube channel version of the show.

I don't think I've ever heard or seen Jay so excited about anything. Such a treat.

Very, very special and so grateful the owner is such a dude for sharing and protecting this car.

Jay - thanks for having us and making this video, It’s a real honor for us to be on your channel to share our history. AT

I was lucky enough to get to a few CanAm races during the Bruce and Denny years. The sights, the sounds, the smells. What a show!

Probably the best Jay Leno video imho. Egon's product knowledge is off the chart.

Many thanks to Egon Zweimiller for preserving this piece of automotive history. There is only one original McLaren, and he has it. And the Elvis connection just makes it that much more important and valuable. Looks like Jay was having fun at the airport.
