It's not "ambiance," to use the correct spelling. It's poor videography. Even Jack, aka Number27, acknowledges this video's shortcoming, Fanboy.

For someone who bought a Mercedes-Benz for the first time 37 years ago, it is both a little strange, but also very nice to see younger generations interested in these old cars. To us, they were just relatively expensive and solid cars. Not cars that young people would normally have (ie models such as the W123 200D and similar). A great portrait of a great car enthusiast. Keep up the good work :)

I've been quietly telling you the C124 would get under your skin eventually and what Jasmine has described is how it feels to have that happen, it's happened to me with my R129 and the process of learning about, and fixing your vehicle is infectious, in fact it becomes quite intimate. I wish Jasmine lived nearby as i'd be volunteering my help as a fellow Mercophile

I first contacted Jazz about two years ago enquiring for parts for my W124 and C126 and her communication was very prompt. From her responses to me on email I got the sense that she is very serious about her work and I felt reassured. This is important when one is far away am I am happy that I have now put a face to the name. Definitely matches the good impression I developed with online communication. She will certainly continue to be on my suppliers list.

There is a great 1987 Maserati Biturbo Zagato Spider...incredible condition...you should take a look at it to see the true potential of those cars. It was listed today so it should be easy to find. The auction ends in 6 days. But there are many more of that era Maserati's in your half of the world so finding one will be much easier. But look at this one, it is a perfect example.
