I’d like to thank everyone for their kind comments and feedback. Doing this show with Jay was a truly wonderful experience full of plenty of laughs ! I wanted to make a small correction to the content in light of some recent factory records reviewed, conversations with Astec employees that built the carbon fiber tubs, and the designer Peter Stevens. There were actually 50 production chassis made, not 53 mentioned in the episode. One extra spare tub was ordered by Tom Walkinshaw 10 months after regular production had ended. Just wanted to clarify that for the sake of complete accuracy ! Thanks again for your kind comments and a special thank you to Jay Leno for having the car on the show ! Jas Dhillon
That is an amazing car, congrats for owning two very beautiful Jags.
Please one day upload a video of your xh220. It has been a car I have loved since I was a kid. Thank you!
Very Nice & Very Unique car and also cool 3 button sport jacket.
Do you have a Instagram ?
Thx for sharing this AWESOME Car so enjoyed you two doing this scene.
His turban is british racing green - this is a cool guy
Lasse Biørnstad : 'a British Racing Green' - there were three (3) 'official' shades of BRG.
hahhaha can't be a bad guy with a turban & car like that!
@@druidofthefang felt so guilty laughing at this joke
@@amozleeotk299 haha i was being serious, no harm intended! i like the doctor, seems like a friendly guy.
Until he blows us all up, haha, ha, yeah....
nice owner, and the fact that he is a emergency doctor is cool. Saving lives and driving super cars 👍
That is well said
And if you capture him you get 3 wishes.
Just one lovely fella. And knowledgeable, intelligent, successful ... while still being down to Earth, and working for benefit of society.
This is exactly the kind of people you want to surround yourself with.
@@nastybastardatlive bruhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... i still laughed out loud ngl
Statman. And the statmobile.
Dr. Jasbir Dhillon's passion and enthusiasm are contagious. He's really making this episode (and his appearance on Petrolicious) really pleasing to watch.
Guillaume M true
Yup! Happy I found him on here!
Patient on operating table
heart almost stops beating
"ill let you ride in the xjr if you come back"
immediate full recovery
Being a member of the Sikh community and seeing Mr. Dhillon be part of the car community and being the only car enthusiast in my family from a very young age, It brings me a great joy to see Mr. Dhillon. Meanwhile I’m more motivated than ever before. Thank you
Dr. Dhillon
Where's your turban?
I hope you have prospered brother
Raj, from what I have seen of Sikh's they are very proud and bold in their nature. Therefore getting the petrolhead bug it is taken with much enthusiasm.
... looks amazing for '91, and the owner actually knows the history of his car 👍
It does look amazing, with some modern wheels & lights it would look like it was built today. (And keep the pop-up main beams, they look super cool.)
@@bmjames It really does look fresh, shame about the rear rover lights but man it does look modern.
Ahh the XJR-15... A beautiful supercar which got totally forgotten, but with which I've spent hours playing in NFS 3: Hot Pursuit...
Lol NFS has all the cool cars
Love it when Jay does an episode with some one of equal enthusiasm and intelligence that doesn’t trip over every word! You can tell that they are friends. Couple of shot callers just talking supercars. Wicked
I don't think I've ever seen a comment that captured my every thought before. so spot on it's scary. Are we long lost brothers? lol
Bird Plan Possibly brother by the sounds of it we would get along well👍 I also despise all the fake main stream “car” shows like goof monkey etc all the fake drama and mainstream selling out hurts the hobby for the people that are true enthusiasts.
Cheers
Bird Plan My friend I have written a very similar rendition of that as well! We are cut from the same stone! Gotta get you my email share some project pictures etc. Your last comment made my night 🤛🏻
I can't take credit for writing that although I wish I could because along with your first comment this also captured my every thought. It's from an article I have saved in my favorites because when I read it I was smiling from ear to ear how perfect it was and I had to save it.. You have to read the rest of it it gets better jalopnik.com/heres-why-car-tv-shows-suck-if-youre-a-car-lover-1729572843
+Bird Plan Nice to see you here. I enjoy your channel🙂
In car audio sounds like Jay is calling a ball game on AM radio
#imdead
dat was pretty funny have to admit
Dude you're so on point m
I thought at first like he sounded like he was using a PA system like how they have in police cars.
Yep. It's all the feedback like you can hear on a live am radio broadcast.
I love how cars can truly bring together people from just about anywhere
Jay, you should ask this gentleman to bring his TWR XJ220S down to you so you can take a look at it. It's a different beast to the stock XJ220, 680bhp (up from 542bhp) and a few hundred kilograms lighter. It's basically a road going version of TWR's 1993 GT1 car.
Also, next time you are in England, take a visit to Don Law Engineering. They now do all XJ220 servicing and updates on behalf of Jaguar, plus prepare the Jaguar GT, Group C and IMSA GTP cars. Last year Justin Law won the Goodwood Hillclimb in their 1993 XJR-12D IMSA GTP car.
Owner is cool asf
Hell yea!
Rocks up in a pair of jeans and an XJR-15. Then knows what he's got aswell. Top bloke.
Yeah, Sultan of speed from Tennessee!....obviously he's affluent, but down to earth as well.
FTBY59 Mike D He is Sikh and cannot be a sultan
Sorry, my bad, meant no offense please.
Jay is going down as the only man to have driven every car ever made. The true boss of car enthusiast !
It's called $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
P Kuudsk I would also say Jeremy Clarkson and tiff as well but def the first American!!!!!
4 Real!
I'm sure he hasn't driven the car I'm driving, but I'm also sure that he doesn't want to. In fact, I don't even want to.
I still ain't seen a Equus Bass 770 on here though.
The owner is a true gentleman. So humble. I just loved the guy.
Couldn’t agree more; the car is elegant, as is its owner. Nothing “in your face” or ostentatious - as much as I love cars there’s many YT channels I just can’t bother watching as they’re the complete opposite
Dhillon seems like a cool dude. Super knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. Sikhs generally rock.
And he is an emergency doctor, what a guy! Perfect human, atleast for an outsider.
nils holgerson outsider FFS 🤦🏻♂️
Very refreshing to see such a knowledgeable owner. Great job Dr Dhillon!
Wow, what a stunning looking car; just beautiful and the owner is just perfect for it - such a cool guy.
This episode of JLG is one of the best, wonder why it has so little views compared to other episodes? What a great car and owner
What makes this cooler Is that Jaz seems like real humble man who genuinely loves cars.
Sounds like jay Leno having a conversation with jay Leno 😹
Saw this car on Petrolicious a few weeks ago. Certainly not sad to see it again.
Same. I wonder if Jay saw it too and reached out to the dude to make this video.
Prob's the good Dr, (having forked over bundles, I assume) is milking it for all the publicity/promotion it can muster?
Jay is friends with Petrolicious' boss, multiple cars from Petrolicious staff members have been featured on his show before and he never made a secret of following them both on RUclips and in "printed" form on their website.
I was going to say something similar.
ChaosZero ノブ ; & there's nothing wrong with that.
I love seeing people appreciating Jay. And what a gem of a guest. I agree with Jay, that's the kind of Dr. you want.
Jas is really one of the coolest enthusiasts around, super nice guy and extremely well informed on all things cars. His garage is the an absolute dream, this, CGT, CTR2, F40, etc. doesn’t get much better
That car is Sikh!!
*insert spit-take here*
😂😂
Phyuck Yiu, I see what you did there.
It's Turban Powered!
I give this comment a 5/7
i had no idea this car existed until now. its so beautiful i can definetly see the mclaren f1 connection. and what a guest. he seems like a genuine good guy.
Lol "My dad worked on engines." "Oh, so he was an engineer?" "No, he actually worked on engines"
An engineer designs stuff .Someone who works on engines is a mechanic
@@Dave062YT you are wrong.....
Engineer:
noun
1.
a person who designs, builds, or MAINTAINS engines, machines, or structures.
Engineers are NOT limited to design only.
@@GB3770 Well you have clearly not worked in the Engineering field :)
@@SavedbyHim my dad is an engineer in fluid dynamics and so am i....you clearly cant use a dictionary...you clearly are uneducated....
@@GB3770 What I mean is that Engineers rarely touch tools when they work and are usually managers or work on designs and concepts. That is why the guy said in this video that his dad worked on engines but wasn't an engineer. The dictionary is irrelevant in this case. I am educated and you are unfortunately mistaken...
That owner is awesome! Super down to earth for someone clearly wealthy enough to afford a car like that. His passion is contagious, love it.
One of the best joys of life is discovering something new that you instantly love. I've never heard of this car and I think it's stunning.
I just love 80s-90's supercars.... This is awesome!
And it's great that he's wearing a BRG turban... He loves his British cars!
SP02: BRG Turban - That's what it is! So many comments on how cool this guy is. I couldn't put my finger on it, now I get it. (Gots me wondering if he's got one in blue, with GT stripes?)
When I heard you ask the fellow what the gas mileage was, I laughed, recalling when I was about 23 years old and I was in Hollywood on vacation and saw the Ferrari dealership. So I went in and I asked the lady-salesperson (pc) what sort of gas mileage it got ... I think it was a Dino Ferrari. She replied with much disdain, "If you can afford the car, you don't care." Right, so that was me told to piss off, in polite terms ... and I did. Great site, Jay.
What a humble guy.. Guys like this deserve these rides..
Everyone deserves, what they buy with their own money!👀
"It's noisy, it's hot, it vibrates and you can smell over the different exotic stuff that's being combusted... in other words, it's absolutely perfect!"
That's what this guy said on Petrolicious and he was so damn right
Jas is pure class! Such a beautiful car, as well!
And the jag.
His Turban is British Racing Green...Pure Class Jas !! xx
Jas is such a class act. Jay has great insights on every car they look at. Nice.
Jay Leno and Dr. Jasbir Dhillon look like two naughty kids in the video when they are driving the car! Lovely car and great video.
Ryan Smith love this comment 👏
Nice he brought one over.
Review more of the Dr's cars.....he's got a great "car guy" personality !Beautiful Jag !
You can really tell when Jay “My Mclaren F1” Leno is truly jealous of someone else’s car lol
Beautiful looking car. It's a shame so few cars were produced. It's the best looking Jaguar car I'd seen.
Jason Carpp Wait until you see the ones from the 60s, puts this one to shame.
Jason Carpp it's no jaguar...
Jason Carpp rare of the rares car... Cool AF
Best looking Jags of all time, imho... XJ-13 and the C-X75...
I agree. I've never seen one.
This guy reminds me of the character in James Bond movies that helps guide Bond on his mission when he leaves England for exotic locales. Ali Karim Bey, Tiger Tanaka etc..
I don't remember his movie name, but his real name was Vijay Amnitraj. He was a professional tennis player, and played doubles with his twin Anand. The movie was Octopussy. Remember when Vijay was driving the tuk-tuk, and he was hitting the baddies with a tennis raquet?
@@ajwasp3642 Great movie
The mysterious Sikh, those folk know what's going on.
Thanks for making and sharing these videos, Jay and team! Really great that you're sharing all these cars with the world.
This is the best coverage of this car I have ever seen, and I've been a fan of it since I was a kid in the 90s. It used to he hard to even find high quality pictures of these online, great to see it covered for a half hour in full HD in 2018. Definitely one of my favorite videos so far on this channel.
This car is clean af.
Definitely a timeless look. Could easily be a 2000 model ... even 2010
Peter E easy tiger
I could mistaken it for a mid 2000s kit car.
People always push this lol, we are just gonna ignore the 1987 Rover tails then 😅
until you look at the backside
with tail lights from a 1991 toyota tercel
I love to see car owners that truly KNOW their cars inside and out. The Doc seems very knowledgeable..
Thank you for taking the time to show us your beautiful XJ15.
Long time viewer, first time commenter, maybe my favorite guest ever. So knowledgable, so articulate, great story, and chemistry with Jay.
I like this owner. He's a car guy who does good things in life...and rewards himself with a special car.
Thank you Jay and Jasbir for showing us this rare an amazing gem! It's so great to learn about cars that aren't that well known and the information might be hard to come by!
That guy has the most international/ambiguous accent I've ever heard- sounds like bits of English, Australian, American, Indian, maybe some South African- pretty much every English-speaking country all mixed up together.
Pointless gimmicky username the Indian accent has commonality with rsa english ... isnt it... I reckon NZ or Australia.
He’s from England there are other videos online he’s owned it 15 + years
Warwick Donnelly lol. Hes certainly dressed like one ...sports coat and jeans.
Lol i agree
Cut and pasted from the net....He is very much from India and is a Jatt Sikh, born and brought up in England and Canada. Studied his way through and shifted down to Lexington, Kentucky and is one of the well known Indian Doctors in United States. Canadian accents Canadians have a strong link to Scotland, Ireland etc... Sounds Aussie, also
I saw another channel's video on one of these a couple of months ago, and thought, "I wonder if Jay will ever get around to this car?"
Brilliant. And I haven't even watch it yet.
Amazing car. Great videos by mr. Leno and his team. Thanks for giving us these informative and fun to watch videos consistently all these years!
What a nice gentleman to share his incredible XJR 15 with us. Your parents must have been filled with such wisdom to raise such a gracious soul. Hope you enjoy her for many years to come. Thank you Jay for a great interview.
One of many examples of timeless beauty... absolutely beautiful car.
I had just seen one in South Salem NY flying by and I was in disbelief. Actually speechless.
One of the best episodes ever! Thanks guys! Cheers!
Thanks, Jay - and more importantly, Jas - for such an informative, interesting episode. A real pleasure to learn about this great car. An equal pleasure to ‘meet’ Jas, who as others have commented, is such a genuine and likeable guy. Hope he will share more of his garage with us in the future. Do catch the Petrolicious video - more great stuff.
Wish we could have heard the start up or some fly by footage. Otherwise, Jasbir is an awesome guy and I am glad that he is looking after this car.
Kchhibs - Check out the Petrolicious video for startup and drive by.
Such a beautiful and timeless design, this car was one of my favorites from my childhood, in video games, a lightweight, V12 hearted beast. Lucky man to own one of 53 produced. I also have seen the petrolicious video, and it's beautiful to see the XJ15 in motion, through twisty roads winding up the rpm's. Truly an artistic and mechanical masterpiece.
Dr. Dhillon is an excellent interview! Great car, listening to you two banter back and forth was great!
Amazing piece of Jaguar history back when Jags were Jags. This beautiful car came from pure bred stock, straight off the racing circuits and into the hands of mortals. Brings back memories of when you had to shout at your injectors and smack the perc fan to get the car to drink. The youth of today never had the experience of feeling a car drink petrol, every explosion that threw you forward. Another GREAT video Jay, thanks.
Love the car, didnt know it existed. My favorite part is listening to jay and his guest's conversation sounding like it happened using a grocery store intercom system from 40 years ago. I was waiting for a price check ....or a clean up request on isle 9.
I like this guy alot. Genuine smart and saving lives. Have him back!!!
Even with the almost inaudible in car audio still one of my favourites yet
Could listen to the owner talk for hours...
Stunning car😀
It's a pleasure to watch Dr Dhillon and Jay.
Jay says the 220 was " quite fast "ah hahahahahaha, understatement. It was the fastest car on earth until the F1. Top speed of 218mph.
Hats off to Jay & Jas!....One of my favorite episodes.
Tis great....shame about the sound on the driving section.
What a nice guy ...and one of the rarest jaguar every made.
Great vid. Love to see owners loving their cars and loving life. Two down to earth guys entertaing us. Well done.
Wow beautiful looks brand new. I know it been restored but that paintjob is the fit.
I love how the in-car audio sounds like a traffic helicopter!...lol
Thanks so much for showing this car off, Dr. Dhillon. Saw you and the car on Petrolicious and it's so nice to see more.
An absolute beautiful car. Great back and forth banter between great car guys.
Extra Toll for watching Jay and Jas stepping into the car!
Thanks jay! I had no idea this car existed! Now i do, and the more you know.
Go watch the Petrolicious review of the same car. More insight into the car and owner, and fantastic cinematography x
Always loved the XJR-15. I liked it better than the XJ-220.
Same. Gotta love that V12 and naturally aspirated.
subjective: i think the 15 is much prettier than the 220.
reminds me of NFS III Hot Pursuit :)
Never fails to disappoint. What a great episode. Find it funny how Jay is always so impressed that a car doesn’t overheat in traffic, shows how much we must take it for granted these days with modern cars. “Look water temperature, oil temperature all good!” Haha
This car buff is grateful to Jay Leno and his crew for bringing us these great slices of automotive life. Many thanks.
*An engaging guest and the genuine article.*
Very beautiful car.
What a wonderful episode thank you Jay and thank you Dr Jas.
That guy saves lives, he deserves a car like this
One of the best forgotten supercars!
I left a comment a few months ago about wanting to see jay do a bunch of rare cars. This was one of them. Awesome!!! I wonder if he read my comment? Now do Bugatti EB 110, Vector W12, Saleen S7, Nissan R390 (if you can), Ferrari F50 (jay and david lee can make fun of each other again), Maserati MC12, Delorean, CLK GTR. PLEASE!!!
Tony Montana perfect list. Those would be a great start. I’ve been watching all of his “old car” videos which are awesome but the random super cars of the last three decades would be cool
facepalm.jpg do you have any capability of pondering the perspective of other people?? Do you think Jay just sits around and thinks, "hmm, I feel like doing ________ car this week, so ill magically make it appear and then magically film it for hours just so I can appeal to peoples ignorant whims....." nearly every car you listed has tons and tons of information already out there, not to mention are far from interesting compared to the numerous other vehicles Jay (typically and thankfully) showcases. ugh
if you knew anything, you would know that the R390 is nearly the same car as this too, just with Nissans own engine.... This car being reviewed not only is just better in and more interesting in every way, but is the original design and actually made in real numbers (whereas there is only 1 single R390 which is only legal for street use in Japan and thats irrelevant anyway because its owned by Nissan and has never once seen the street, and never will.) get a clue
Kyong Hansen Brotha. It’s just a wish list. Nobody expects it to actually happen. But yeah, I guarantee you if jay wanted to do videos on those exact cars he could, easily. Car guys love to show off their cars. Cheers.
Saleen S7, oh baby!
Jaw on the floor, I've not seen this car in a long time... And I'd still want one!
I really think this Jaguar is the only one to come from the 90's looking like a modern day exotic! I can believe the 90's were so long ago & all of that time that had passed. Still, when you look at this car... It looks like it fits in right now.
As for the owner, he really seems like a stand-up guy and very reserved. Great cars for great men! Then you hear that he's an everyday guy that had a childhood just like every normal, middle-class kid... Priceless story, this car really suits the man.
I always love the stories behind the cars. Great video and presentation.
One of the hardest car to drive in Gran Turismo 2. 😅
Ah man why you bring that up lol 😅
I knowwww! All over the place.. i should stop talking now..
It kind of drove in the same way the XJ220 does in the later games: steady understeer at turn in, then give a little gas and it flies all over the place. Would be cool to have it in a modern GT, just to see how hardcore it'd be, probably like a mix between F40 and XJ220.
Juan Tomlinson Still playing that game today through emulator. Never get me bored with it.
don't forget nfs3, although it's hard to get
It looks like a Mazda RX-7 FD mated with a Toyota MR2. I guess it was of that era, one of my favorites. I've never heard of this model until this video, thank you.
Looks like a Pagani Huayra that was cleaned up of all the tacky juke box ornaments.
Please don't compare a legendary supercar to some rice rockets.
Its great to see a guy who has a rare car that appreciates it and drives it. Uses it for its intended purpose. This guy gets it.
Ive so been waiting for Jay to drive this car,thank you
Super cool owner.
That’s an impressive car this Fellow is also a true enthusiast and knowledgeable not only about his car but others as well. I liked the fact that he says drives the hell out of it and that’s the real reason for being passionate about sports cars, and he’s a Brit who moved to Tennessee I’ll bet he gives the mountain boys a twist...Lol
I always come back to this video, this car is AMAZING.
Fantastic episode. Great stuff Dr. Dhillon.
Beautiful. The shape reminds me of Zonda.
You are right ,zonda Pagani!!
He's a knowledgeable guy and a very nice car
"It's like a rifle bolt, you hear ir engage". Jay is awesome
Even if I won the lottery, I would probably never be able to get my hands on one of these. So watching a couple of guys who love cars, talk about the car, and seeing the joy on their faces, is the next best thing.
A beautiful Jag!!!😮💓
