I love that he’s not faking an accent , I love the commentary, love the camera work, brilliant video, and a beautiful iconic car

[@shreyassomanna5823]

Most people don't, evryone has their own walk of speaking. you'll are just familiar with this accent coming from tier II and Tier III cities.

[@jassimseethynooh5032]

Shreyas Somanna actually, most people have a normal way speaking when they’re comfortable, which is their actual accent, and another fake accent which they present to the public because of insecurities about their actual accent or ability to speak in English, and the accents are usually pretty bad and anyone who speaks English well can recognise the difference.

Not kidding, just yesterday (in Ahmedabad) I spotted an M3 sedan (never thought I'll see it in India), a black huracan (with green calipers) and I lost my shit. But on the way back home, I spotted a W124 lying among other normie cars and out of those 3 cars I spotted the Merc is what's occupied my brain the most. And I've been itching to go again and look properly. I wish I could buy it and restore but gah I'm 17 and with no dough :p. Still keeping an eye out though. Love these mid 90s to mid 2000 cars. great video

[@rudyoactiv]

[@ManojKumar-sx6vg]

Excellent camera work, all throughout. Few hints: 2:40 The plastic side trims were added in the first facelift in year 1989. The bonnet changed in 1993. 3:06 Missed to include a demonstration of the thud when the last door closes with all glasses up, so that people can realize how pathetic it is in their modern cars! 3:52 The mirrors are almost flat (or is it really flat?!), unlike concave mirrors on most cars, rendering a smaller field of vision. But the difference is that you get the correct perception of distance of the approaching vehicles from your car. 4:25 Missed to mention that the heavy bonnet remains up in opened position by itself, without any manual support rod or a visible hydraulic strut. A cleverly engineered hinge mechanism. Miss my 200E!

[@arrollvegas1484]

Respect for the owner ...he is the real car enthusiasts ....Car is in pristine condition..like showroom new car 😍

[@aflahashraf7246]

Justed wanted a quick glimpse before heading out. Had me sticking to the seat cause of the video and narrative quality. Keep up the good work

[@shaheenthajudeen373]

the W124 was the first car I got to drive by myself, at it was the most liberating 20 minutes of my life. Since then, it's literally been my dream car, more than the Mustangs, Jaguars and other animals. It's possible, and attainable. I've been worried I might not be able to legally drive one around, considering that I'm 25 atm and it'll take a bit until I can afford one. The fact that I stumble upon this video a day after it's published is a sign that I shan't let this one go just yet.

[@y17t90]

I am only few minutes into the video and I know your channel is gonna be a treasure

[@hanimusthafa]

Excellent review & well done video.. keep up the good work

[@miketurin5233]

Beautiful car! The one arm wiper was one of the coolest things of the old era. I wish more newer cars would have it.

[@AyushNiranjan]

These are the real car channels that people should subscribe, the authentic content which we were used to watching on British youtube channels till now

[@SwavimanKumar]

man u speak so nicely. Loved ur presentation style. the channel is going to be big i can tell that.

[@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu]

This is the car that every 90s kid grew up drawing in the back of their notebooks. I loved this design so much! This is the epitome of mechanical engineering. Having all the basics right! If there's any enterprising entrepreneur willing to begin manufacturing a car that has all the basics right, I would invest in such crowdfunding endeavor. I'm sure many like me are willing to experience what true German engineering feels like. Make the design and manufacturing process opensource. Have OEMs contribute in design phase. This would turn out to be an excellent vehicle. If software can be built open-source. Why not hardware and cars! 1. Solid Build (like the W124) 2. Reliable and powerful engine 3. Good driving dynamics 4. Every detail thought through 5. Manual Transmission with all wheel drive

[@adilsabu]

[@drews6616]

Great video; informative and well shot 👍. I have a 1990 W124 260E and it’s a fabulous machine. The biodegradable wiring was only an issue on the facelift cars. The ride quality is better than many modern cars I think. It’s a shame MB don’t build their cars like this anymore.

[@adilsabu]

How much will it cost when the wiring goes wrong

[@drews6616]

@ Adil Sabu - The entire wiring harnesses are around £2000, rebuild kits around £300 in the UK. Then someone has to fit them - very expensive. In my case my car is an early model and not affected.

[@rizaadam]

Drew S what model has this issue ?

[@drews6616]

Rizz Adam - all models from 1993 until end of W124 production in 1996 / 1997.

[@nehuge]

The trunk switch is ingenius, although they could put a timed relay in like the front dome light has after you shut the door.

This W124, along with the W123, W126 S class, and finally the W140 were gloriously overengineered, nut and bolt mercedes models. True German engineering. The w210 which I owned and drove for almost 8 years, lagged behind its predecessor w124 in build quality. Good video. New subscriber.

This car is a monument. It is more than a car. It is the single car in my family that lasted the longest of all cars.... BY FAR. My father had one E 200 in classic grey color. I remember every inch of this car and the many travels across Europe with it.
