Jay Kay and his Multi-million Car Collection
Here’s a question for Jay Kay fans: does he have more songs or cars? The lead vocalist of Jamiroquai is worth an estimated £40 million and is ready to splash out on his favourite hobby.
Some have estimated that he’s owned hundreds of cars, including his unique green LaFerrari and 1965 Ferrari 330 GT Vignale Shooting Brake.
Let’s come a little closer and see what else Jay Kay has in his garage!
Ferrari 275 GTB
What would you treat yourself to on your 40th birthday? If you’re Jay Kay, the choice is clear: a Ferrari 275 GTB.
This model was designed by Scaglietti and Pininfarina and is made from aluminium and aluminium alloy.
It has a front engine, which powers the rear wheels and is a 3.3 litre Colombo V12. It might be a lot to handle, but we trust Jay Kay to know his way around a Ferrari.
Of course, one couldn’t have a solitary Ferrari. What if it got lonely? Thankfully, Jay Kay decided to expand his Ferrari collection with a Ferrari Enzo.
Only 400 of these were made, so they have a special place in anyone’s collection. The Enzo can reach over 200mph, so it's a dream for those who love fast cars!
Aston Martin DB5
If you’re worth £40 million, you might be one who's said to have a gold finger. And if you’re Jay Kay, you might even own an Aston Martin DB5 Mark 1 Volante, which appeared in Goldfinger (1964).
Although Bond’s car had some modifications (courtesy of Q, no doubt), we hope that Jay Kay keeps this one in mint condition so car lovers can enjoy it for many more years.
BMW Baur Cabriolet
Sometimes, we're lucky enough to come across a 2002 BMW Baur Cabriolet, which skilfully combines convertibles and saloon cars to achieve an unusual look and a spectacular feel.
Two different approaches could have only come from two different designers. In this case, BMW worked with a German coach-builder, Baur.
The end result is something which looks retro but has every contemporary luxury for today's drivers. BMW knows its way around making well-designed cars.
A few years ago, Jay Kay made headlines when he decided to part with the car he learnt to drive in. For many of us, this was an old banger from our parents. Jay Kay used a 1972 BMW 1602 for his first few rides.
Legend has it that most of Jamiroquai’s album Emergency on Planet Earth was written in the car, so even though it’s no longer in Kay’s garage, we know some lucky owner has a special part of musical and vehicular history, hopefully tucked away safely.
Lamborghini Miura SV
Lamborghini may have been founded to compete with Ferrari, but it seems like the real winners are anyone who loves cars.
Jay Kay’s Lamborghini Miura SV is worth millions, and that value is, in no small part, due to its feature in Jamiroquai's song Alright.
Sometimes, we find muses in unexpected places; for Kay, this must have been his garage. The Lamborghini Miura SV isn’t the only Lambo to feature in Jay Kay’s discography.
Kay’s beautifully garish purple Lamborghini Diablo was arguably the star of the music video for Cosmic Girl and is now widely considered iconic.
The car was named after a fighting bull, and it’s easy to see how anything this eye-catching could start a little commotion.
Mercedes-Benz 300 Roadster
A well-designed and classically stylish car never goes out of fashion. That’s how Jay Kay would describe his Mercedes-Benz 300 Roadster. We can see his point.
Initially designed in the 1950s, this must be the inspiration for many classic cars and with its sleek look and excellent engine, we can see why.
Someone who adores classic cars would love to have the Mercedes-Benz 300 Roadster in their car collection!
Rolls-Royce Phantom
Although many of the cars in Jay Kay’s collection are luxury sports cars, sometimes it’s nice to break away from the mould with something more vintage.
Enter the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Kay is said to own two: a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Rolls-Royce Park Limousine.
Neither car is as speedy as the rest of the cars in his collection, but with a top speed of 150mph, Kay can still comfortably and luxuriously get wherever he wants pretty damn quick.
Maserati A6G
If you want to look like you’ve just driven off the set of James Bond, the Maserati A6G is the way to go.
Jay Kay’s is a glossy black, which makes it look more classic, and because only 60 of these were produced, driving this car around would earn you some envious glances.
Perhaps its rarity is why it’s so expensive: each unit is worth nearly £4 million. Of course, this car also boasts 0-60mph in 12 seconds and a 148-horsepower engine.
