On Jay Leno's Garage, we dive into the world of classic luxury with a rare Rolls-Royce two-door coupe from the 1970s and 80s. Donald Osborne, the expert appraiser, waxes poetic about the Kamar, emphasizing its allure as a symbol of elegance and sophistication. This isn't your average car; it's a piece of automotive history that exudes exclusivity and style. Osborne draws intriguing parallels between the Kamar and the Fiat 130 Coupe, showcasing the beauty of Italian design in the realm of luxury automobiles.

As the conversation unfolds, we learn about Rolls-Royce's tumultuous journey in the 70s and 80s, facing challenges with emissions and resorting to using Cadillac parts. However, with the entry of BMW into the picture, the brand saw a resurgence, paving the way for masterpieces like the Spectre, hailed as the epitome of luxury and refinement. The Kamar, with its handcrafted British charm and attention to detail, stands as a testament to traditional craftsmanship in the automotive world.

Jay Leno and Osborne delve deep into the legacy of the Kamar, appreciating its timeless design and the intricate features that set it apart. Despite its hefty price tag and limited production numbers, the Kamar remains a coveted collector's item, embodying the essence of luxury motoring. The episode takes an emotional turn as Ben Liman, the current custodian of the Kamar, shares the sentimental story behind the car, underscoring its significance as a cherished family heirloom with a rich history.
