Wow, that definitely is a very rare and special car. The 600SE emblem on the glove box door is factory option but I think it’s really rare
@vsandvs7 ай бұрын
Never knew that the emblem was a factory installed item. I saw 600sel emblems also. But I thought they were added by the owners

The sound of that starter is so nice to hear . Like a P51 Mustang start.

Love the colour and I prefer the velour upholstery over leather. What a great find!

This video resurfaced some memories I had. So, when I was a kid a relative of ours had a w140 with the velour interior back in Russia. I remembered it being velour, but kinda never seen one non leather ever since.

I've been working on these cars for over 20 years and never saw a v with velour here in the USA. I'm sure there are some in Europe and Russia.

Beautiful car. How u going to deal with old fuel issues after it sitting so long ?
@ThomasColeFZ7 ай бұрын
Crazy to see cloth interior on S600 series. Look forward to seeing you get this BEAST running. Good luck 🤞
@vsandvs7 ай бұрын
It was started before I received the car. So I too just started it with whatever fuel there is in the tank. When I got it running I'll burn off the old gas and refill it with fresh fuel.
@ThomasColeFZ7 ай бұрын
@@vsandvs WOW it's awesome if someone ran it out of gas before it was parked. Pete's carport has a video where he swapped out the fuel filters (I think there are 2 on your car) on similar generation S600. I think that will be essential to get that thing running smoothly. Good luck and look forward to seeing your progress.

Yes, sometimes you have a problem with the fuel system. I had a mid 60s 6.9l Mercedes come in when I had my shop. I had to clean out the fuel tank, replace fuel pumps and filters, some hoses, clean fuel distributor, injectors, etc. It was a mess... This one is not too bad

@@vsandvs awesome, I have a 1999 S500 that's been sitting 4 years. Do u know how big a job it is to pull remove the tank in order to clean it ? I'm worried about sending that old cruddy fuel through the fuel system. Any advice ?

Do you have any concern with the oil condition before starting these? Should it be drained and do a oil flush and fill before starting to make sure the oil pump has good oil?
@vsandvs7 ай бұрын
This engine was started before I got the car. At this point it doesn't matter what oil it has in it as long as there is oil in it. By buddy down the street had an old Maserati Khamsin that sat in his garage for decades. And before the engine was turned over we did lots of preventive things before trying to start it.

Виктор привет:) В WIS написано, что регулировать тросик газа надо из салона:)) Там есть регулировочный барашек, почти такой же как под капотом. Машина красилась, это видно по бамперам и пластику на дверях. В заводском исполнении они отличаются по цвету и слегка матовые. Но в целом, на вид, вполне живой образец:) И салон велюровый класс! Это была опция. На самом деле этот велюр более практичен и удобен, чем кожа

From my experience, this is not the same as US velour. I believe this is a woolen velour. It has a stiff bristle whereas the US style has a synthetic softness. It also lacked a sheen that US style velour had, being more like a natural fabric is. I had a mid 70s Eurospec S class velour car and a mid 80s 190E with that velour. The 70s style had the sane corduroy bolsters as this W140, the W201 was just the flat velour like the inserts are on this car. Makes a car grandma cozy, it was always mentioned by passengers.

Cool car. Nice with the velour that is a good colour combination with the exterior. Bornite colour? Also quite unusual. The glovebox emblem is factory but rare, only on early euro 600's. I think MB ditched it because it looks a bit naff! I am surprised no ADS but yep, good news if that is the case. It will still have rear self levelling I imagine.
@HelpingHand-ic4wt7 ай бұрын
Yes, bornite and I suspect you might find some violettgrau (matt) metallic 7166 on the plastic innards... it could be a different color. That velour is how a car like that should be, even if it looks like a lady's room. They look that way, don't they?

As far as I know there were 600SE for the European market and maybe other markets. For the USA market there were only 600SEL in 1992 to 1993. Then it was S600 long
