Trasco Bremen 1000 SEL: Victory on the Battlefield of Innovation

[@zaizainjamal]

In this era of 90s where cost was irrelevant & the genius mind of Bruno Sacco is when I as a child fell in love with Mercedes. The Day my Father came home with a 190e Cosworth😍😍 thank you patina for immortalising that era with all you do. 🤜🤛

[@theone___]

Just like me. My dad came home with a 300 d w123. Like you i fell in love with Benz for ever.

[@MrReese]

Unfortunately the last era where the cost was irrelevant was the 1980s for Mercedes, not the 90s. The W140 was the last Mercedes that was built to a standard and not to a cost point and it was mostly made in the 80s with a release in the early 90s. The 90s saw the likes of W202 and W210 and the 3v engines that shared a lot of parts. Not to mention the birth of the Smart and the Daimler Chrysler merger.

Love this format, shoutout to everyone on the Patina Collective team - Keep up the great work

[@bill4632]

This is why you never take the same route all the time. Never be too predictable for your potential enemies. Occupational awareness people.

[@vondahe]

Fortunately, ordinary nobodies like me can safely take the identical route every single day and no one gives a hoot. However, during my spy savvy years, I actually did meticulously change my routes and perform imitations of what I heard real spies would do to shake off their tails. Must have worked because they never caught me…

[@Hursh1]

Well done fellas, taking the culture to a new level with these videos.

[@theopatterson232]

I've watched this video a few times and I love listening to the history lesson behind the cars. Hope to see many more from the Patina collective

[@chrisw1147]

What brilliant content. Well done guys

[@Pereira111]

Love these historic videos, this museum will be legendary

[@DaDa-David]

Vico, Daniel - just awesome guys! Hope I can get over from the UK one day to see the collection. Loved this vid! 🙂

[@Johns1stGarage]

Knocked it out of the park with is format, instant subscriber. More documentary style content!

[@costaboy337]

You guys took this to the next level...loving the intro and the full story about the car...looking forward for the next one.

[@caloycruz8160]

Hats off for the efforts in doing a documentary style video! Worth watching

Trasco boyzzz

[@NYHeeb]

Top notch

[@Millennial_Manc]

Have their bomb-resistant cars ever been tested by an IED and what was the outcome? Talk is cheap and we only saw what happened to cars without that protection. Superb video though… really interesting to see them at work. I don’t think I have ridden in an armoured car but I have stayed in a bullet proof hotel suite. I have a customer recognition status with the Intercontinental Hotels Group, which sometimes means I’m upgraded. I booked a club suite at the Intercontinental in Berlin, and my free upgrade landed me in the Presidential Suite that was constructed for Bill Clinton’s stay. I remarked on how you couldn’t hear a single thing despite overlooking Tiergarten, and I was informed that the windows were made to be bazooka proof!

[@lukeduke9304]

Wonderful!

[@thomaswolf8609]

Nice video. Very well made. - But next time please do the effort and put in the rear left jacking point cover (should be useable from every W126) and click in the front tow hock cover. The car deserves it to be present in mint condition. ;-) - Hoping for more great vids of yours. 🙂

A. I. EPISODE

[@ShitHappensRLY]

Huh, new day, new knowledge. 8:36 shows ZIL-41047TB, created by Trasco Bremen in 1994 by themselves in attempt to get some orders from ex-soviet republics. Despite being build according to internal standards, they forgot to reinforce the suspension, and it quickly went to the bin. Later on these were used as reserve vehicles.

I also worked on Mercedes-Benz cars. In the 1970s, ARMOURED OR NOT, they were EASILY the best made cars on the world, BAR NONE. WHAT HAPPENED to that quality???

9:49 damn that window is crazy!!!!!!!

[@Blablagerman]

Very nice video, but there was no information about the machine. As far as I know it uses a 5,6L from the 560SEL. The name 1000 SEL just sounded more powerful

[@Herkulez1981]

You guys will become legends in the 80s and 90s Mercedes tuning community. You guys have made a ton of people new found lovers of these cars already Imagine in 20-30 Years

[@-Gunnarsson-]

Do this to an EV and the range would be zero 😂

[@Psycheart]

I had no dea the W126 was so iconic until I got one and started to notice it in like literally every movie...

[@mqowka]

Trasco was the perfect limosine in the 90's

[@alexhodson8831]

You had to add to this video assassination for Eduard Shevarnadze on Feb 9 1998, he was on armored 600 SEL and survived after attacking by RPG and bunch of AK47's After that Mercedes gave him another W140 for free

[@test143000]

"attempted assassination", otherwise they could provide a new car only to transport a corpse

[@Tim_nl]

Yooooo patina boys, i just wanna say im so impressed by you guys because what you are doing is insane and not easy at all. Love to see all those gems arrive keep up the vlogs for ever please!!!!!🙏🏻

[@SwayLizard]

Patina to the MOON

[@ropi4524]

Interesting to see that Trasco made armoured ZILs for the Russians...

[@entlim]

Their coach building was so good, that they even started off with beat up cars and totally refurbished them body and mechanically.. It was so good, that the London MB dealership we used even praised the 3 we had on fleet....

[@AntonioPeres80]

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Most underrated Benz channel, period. Please open that Museum ASAP so that no one can deny the level of dedication and knowledge at hand here. Unreal ✌️🤘

[@Happymali10]

It's interesting that they used the "1000 SEL"-name, which was also used by SGS (another german tuner) for an S-class they widened by CUTTING IT DOWN THE MIDDLE and adding a few centimeters

[@ashog1426]

Man I need a nicer package benz but the rates are so high rn 😢

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Gotta go back in time my man. Legendary Benz chassis are out there going for peanuts (granted needing plenty of deferred maintenance), but still. Old is Gold! Especially with Benz. If you haven't experienced the older ones, you might be in for a serious shock.

[@mndlessdrwer]

Pretty sure nowadays you can even order those kinds of stretched armored cars with slide-up, bulletproof privacy screens between the driver and the rest of the cabin. Not to mention, there's no customization that such a company cannot do, only something you have yet to think of. When you're spending that kind of money, as long as you're willing to spend more, there's nothing that you cannot request.

[@PaganiZondaF650hp]

I didn't know that Trasco once lead the game, as today the factory armoured cars lead the way and Trasco typically only offers lower grade bulletproofing for the s class and other limousines that are also factory armored. They do do the full bullet and bomb-proofing on suvs like the g-class though...

[@captmcneil]

I think this beast weighs something close to four tons. If you've ever opened the door of an armored vehicle, it gives a new perspective on things.

[@njabuloshingange641]

Too dope guys, wonderful lesson. Been seeing Trasco G classes on the James Edition site. Now I know who Trasco is❤ much love from South Africa

[@dimmacommunication]

What's the mileage on an " tank " like this ? My doubt is that armoured cars drink so much gasoline that doing gas is the weak link

[@chrislowe9703]

Hahahaha...don't let the enemy know your car is armoured......sssooo let's add a Tresco logo in chrome on the trunk and the hood 😂😂😂

[@artblakey4159]

I wonder if Eduard Shevardnadze was in one of these when attackers shot 2 RPGs at his car in 1998

Ever since childhood, I’ve had a fascination with armoured cars. Me best moment was seeing JFK’s limo in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn MI. They also have Reagan’s limo in there. I also once had the pleasure of driving an armoured Ford Granada. Super cool.

[@jamesoconnor3017]

Wow! Great films thanks guys , very educational and motivating for Mercedes owners . I can see now why a lot of people think the W140 double glazed windows are bullet proof but obviously they’re not. A very cool feature too! 😎👍

I was a teenager when I went to the Earls Court Car show here in London. There was a Trasco booth! There was also a Trasco showroom in Park Lane W1. These Mercedes Trasco 1000SELs were just awesome

[@jimk7882]

Easy enough to pop that tow hook cover panel in at 11:45 but those bent horizontal slats on the grill detract from the car's beauty.
