Will You Bring Back The R-Class, CLC-Class And CLK-Class?

We ♥️ the new old Heinrich!

I Love it too.😘😘

Very cool! @4:17 that mechanic is not pleased with you rev’ing the engine!😂(hand flick)

[@neilmurphy845]

That was funny

[@dimitrisstavaris8141]

Hahahaha

[@asambi69]

Gonna miss Karl-Heinz when this series is over.

[@syncrosimon]

Well done Mercedes for actually doing something a bit different. Awesome work Alex and team.

[@AG-pm3tc]

Thanks Mercedes for sponsoring this project, this is a great way to do public outreach!

[@finndegroot7349]

Did anyone else see the passenger side high beam dip in the time laps at 12:45

[@liviu101_]

yeah I was about to say that

[@ThirteenMatt]

That triggered me so much

[@StanleyKubick1]

not high beams. floodlights

[@farmerlamb2372]

4:15 let's rev it! NEIN!!!!! 😂😂

[@danielromeo1859]

Jajajajaja Alex almost got his hand hit by Karl-Heinz

Reving an engine in germany may take you to auswitch especially if its modded

The welding scene looked absolutely amazing!!!

[@jaysmith6466]

yes! THIS IS EXACTLY how welding is done in real life!! Very glamorous job lemmi tell ya. gloves and sleeves are totally optional as well lol

[@Doc__Vegapunk]

Getting a double dose of Alex and this old school Mercedes is the best thing ever! Love this build series so far!

[@DkpDrifter]

14:10 Yeah, let’s not do that Alex 😂

[@DeShakeel]

4:10 bad Alex. Don't do that. We are Germans

[@1018VORTEX]

I don't get it

[@zuccbleach9610]

Why? Is it disrespectful?

[@huntsbychainsaw5986]

@@zuccbleach9610 it would seem that Alex's actions towards the engine may have been taken as disrespectful to the engine.

Gotta love the white and blue plastic caps on the license plate. Perfection, where perfection is needed :D 12:48

[@TheAhmAcc]

8:10 that welding scene is just magnificent 👌🏻

[@joshuarosen6242]

At the start of the series I was concerned that you were going to butcher what is rather a lovely old car. I'm glad to see that you haven't and that the process could partially or mostly be reversed if the next owner wants. I love the spotlights, by the way.

[@Timico1000]

3:14 "Good job, old man!" Ähm...who? Heinrich or Karl-Heinz?!

[@asambi69]

Would love to see more cars getting restored on this channel also.

[@calistocm]

This build is epic! I'm right in the middle of restoring a 1958 180D ponton and can totally respect the efforts you guys are putting into this car. Can't wait to see it finished!

[@Erevos85]

love the old-school equipment that they sometimes use

[@living.sideways]

A engish guy in a german garage with a german car imported from switzerland in a rally throuh germany, switzerland , france ,italy and monaco. How culturally ist that?!

[@arandomelk8559]

Alex is at least half german and speaks german

[@ptibab73]

It reminds of my car. A french guy buying a german car in switzerland to a Finnish guy to bring it from France to Finland!

[@UnearthedMind]

Karl-Heinz needs to get his own show! :)

[@huntsbychainsaw5986]

That diagnostic machine used to check the points after they set the gapping. Is that an oscilloscope based system? It would seem the other portion of the system they used to check the emitted exhaust gasses was infrared based but I can only assume the "DataScope" is likely a computerized oscilloscope.

[@jocking3]

20W50? That's not oil, that's grease. :D

[@michaelg492]

Porsche guys like using it in 928s

[@VolkerHett]

20W20 in winter and 30 in summer in air cooled boxer engines. Might go to SAE30 for winter and 40 for summer do to climate change :D

[@jfv65]

2x Zenith INAT carbs? Not easy to set up but they work nice when done right. Bmw's from the same era (e3, e9) used them as well

[@thatguy3428]

My old first gen RX7 recommend 20w50 in my hot climate. It is very thick for oil.

[@Leofred2000]

Race oil for older engines

[@andrewbarton8525]

That is a lovely old merc. I've three not as old but all cast iron block straight sixes. Fantastic engines. All sons of this beautiful 280. Great work guys.

[@MercedesBenz]

Thanks a lot, Andrew! Are you also so meticulous with their maintenance?

Loving this classic build and also the fact that Mercedes still manufacture all the parts for classics too. What's the music Alex?

[@Dusann696]

Can't wait to see Heinrich in action!

[@tiagopereira8340]

I wonder. To compete in a rally doesn't the car need a little bit extra power?

[@tjthegreat7]

retro rally is different the cars are built to old specs

[@oiled_grapes2993]

9:00 Alex: you've also been busy, so what have you been doing? Marcel: yeah uh... *Speaks German* Me: damnit, so close to being able to understand these people.

[@maxsnatch1420]

Does anybody seen the added left headlight move when there was removing the tires ? Es geht gar nicht !

[@ImpalamansGarage]

6:05 - I must have a funnel like that now!

[@aliabdallah102]

Karl-Heinz should get his own KZbin channel. With subtitles, because I don't speak German, although learning it shouldn't be too hard as Arabic includes a lot of the sounds.

[@DiscoFang]

"Putting a tachometer in because it currently has a clock we don't need"... Proceeds to install the tachometer bracketed off the A pillar like a 90's rice burner. For that factory look.

[@xtc31]

The Germans take so much pride in there work...i think some people in the UK need to learn from them.

[@asthmatictuna]

any chance of letting us know the music during the welding scene? it made me happy :)

The song is called “Calling You” by Peachy Pavement feat. Cleo Kelley. 🙂

looking great, not to many classic mercs here in the USA

[@kevinobyrne8020]

You guys are lucky enough to have classics that don't rust completely to dirt. Road salt and harsh winters just kill our cars here in Ireland if we're not careful.

I use 20w-50 in my 2 stroke scooters. Thick thick oils compared to the 10w-40s and 5w-40s i use in my newer vehicles. My Suzuki uses 0w-20 which cannot be even compared to this oil on any way

What tire size did you use for the build?

[@MercedesBenz]

The best fitting ones. 😂

[@jgarza03]

@@MercedesBenz Seriously, I have a classic Mercedes and really like the way those look. I know they're Falkens, but do you have a way finding out what the size is? It's on the side of the tire, but there wasn't a shot close enough to see it.

We are sorry, but at the Social Media team, we don’t have this information. 😔

This actually hurt my feel bads. A car this beautiful should have been restored back to its original splendor. I want to like this series so much......but It makes me soooo sad that this car is going to be used for a rally, and not shined up in some nice drive, and being loved the way it should. Not too many left now. And now its...well its ruined isn't it. :( I will forgive you this time Alex. Being cute doesn't hurt ;) ...but what you did to this car does :( Well, carry on then. I hope next series is something I can once again stand behind. All the new bits on this old car? Why? Its like giving your 80 year old granny a tit job. Sure it looks great after its done, but you just shouldnt do it, it's just not right, man. (Never do this to a classic PLEASE...its just not right mate)

[@pharaongaming8617]

*this is literally litrally car*

[@bruh-pn7hn]

5:04 can chrisfix copystrike this

[@kuyper]

Why, in all these builds, is the oil only changed after revving the nuts off the engine? If you know nothing about a car that has an appalling underside, would you not drain all the fluids first! Spark plugs before oil? Nup. Just Nup... :)

[@teufteuf57]

[@hendriks7251]

why tf can Alex speak so good German? xD

[@adinmusic9893]

Hmm put a new mercedes c63 engine

[@VolkerHett]

Won't work! I've seen an early baby Benz with a more modern engine in it, they used a laptop or two to emulate all the stuff which isn't there to keep the ECU happy. You'd have to install the complete drivetrain. Another thing, you'd lose the historic car license plate when you use something which is not from that period and thus you can't take part in a historic cars rally.

[@bravelittleabacus]

don't.

[@arrowb3408]
