Jay Leno is probably the most popular celebrity car collector in the world.<\/p>\n

His garage is like an art museum for car lovers, and there\u2019s one car in particular that, amazingly, he got for free.<\/p>\n

Leno owns a vast collection of cars, including some truly rare ones<\/a>, and even one that he co-designed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also owns a lot of Lamborghinis, including a 1967 Lamborghini Miura in yellow.<\/p>\n

For an unusual and crazy combination of reasons, Jay Leno actually got his car for free.<\/p>\n

In an episode<\/a> of Jay Leno\u2019s garage, the 73-year-old collector said the car was bought by legendary singer, Dean Martin.<\/p>\n

According to Leno, Martin\u2019s kid blew it out and Martin couldn\u2019t really be bothered to fix it so he sold it on.<\/p>\n

The guy who bought it for peanuts thought it would be relatively easy to fix.<\/p>\n

But, as Leno explains, in the 1970s this wasn\u2019t so easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in the late 70s, there was no internet. Where are you going to get Lamborghini parts?\u201d Leno said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to call Italy [with] the old system, it would cost $100 just the first five minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The owner, who just so happens to be a friend of Leno\u2019s, left it in his garage for years and eventually asked Leno if he wanted it.<\/p>\n

Leno bought it and had it fixed and restored.<\/p>\n

The irony is that Leno himself pointed out that these cars used to be cheap.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s also part of the reason why he decided to focus on this rather than on a different Ferrari he had his eyes on in the same period.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that\u2019s no longer the case.<\/p>\n

Any supercar from the 1970s and 1980s, and even the 1990s, is worth a lot of cash today.<\/p>\n

Jay Leno calls it the \u2018gazillion dollar\u2019 car and he\u2019s not wrong.<\/p>\n

These days, on average, a Lamborghini Miura in good condition will set you back at least $2 million.<\/p>\n
