This car has such an emtional place in my heart. My late grandfather got one like this in the 80s, he always took care of it and it was his pet. He lived in Yugoslavia and after the war in the 90s my grandpa developed clinical depression, he stoped driving his car, he didn't even get out of the house. I remember this car as a kid, parked in front of granpa's house for years, my family didn't have a heart to sell it, so it just stood there. As my grandpa's health was deteriorating so was his car outside. The day he died I remember looking at the car all abandoned, seeing how it reflected my grandfathers health troughout the years. Whenever I see this Mercedes I am always reminded of him, and seeing a video of it being revived tears me up. Thank you for this video.

Just bought an old mercedes van with a 5 cylinder diesel. It hadn’t been started since january, was stored for 2 years prior to that, barely used since 1998 and only driven 64 000 km. The battery was completely dead. Jumpstarted it and it fired up after 1 second. Brought it home and now I drive it daily on vegetable oil 🤩 Sadly I have nosy neighbors who complain about it being parked at the road outside the house. Time to find somewhere else to live… I have one video of it on my channel, not sure if I should post more videos about it.

It took me an age because of the size of the thing; the heavy steel wheel caps with their chrome surround had to sparkle, and so did that long engine tappet cover. I had to buff the crap out of that thing. Only years and years later, did I realise that I was given the privilege of “working” on the best car in the world.

Beauty, elegance, timeless appearance of an elegant, comfortable car with soul. This is how many years a car can run after leaving the factory and this is how long it will experience in its life. It's amazing how much attention was paid to designing the entire car to serve people. Considering its age, the sheet metal is in really good condition. Same with varnish. Someone had to take care of this car a bit, though. The engine is durable and starts and drives after many years. Now such cars, after tuning and sometimes lowered, cost a lot of money in Poland. In good condition - PLN 60,000, very good - PLN 80,000 or more, and tuned ones up to PLN 120,000 or PLN 150,000. There will be no more cars like this. Thank you for the video :)
