Wow here we go we are happy with this videos

OEM Pirelli Cinturato CN36 with the correct round shoulder and in the proper 195/70R14 size are still available from a vintage tire distributor out of the UK. Expensive but worth it. Round shoulder reproductions of vintage tires like the CN36 should work better with the factory suspension design than a modern square shoulder radial. They allow the car to handle like it's supposed to.

Everything on such immaculate 10k condition and that ball joint boot was so badly failed? Weird. Nice work!

Always love these in depth videos. That 300D is a stunner and I expect it will become a garage queen. With those low miles, that's just fine. For higher mileage cars that will have constant use go with 15 inch BBS or similar wheels for a cool and sexy look, along with superior Michelin tires (there are also high quality after-market 15 inch Bunts out there). I sure as heck do not use 14 inch Bunts on my 500 SEC and that is due to the very poor tire choices now available. I have 15 inch Penta-like British manufactured Melber Wheels with Michelin Defenders and that combination is noticeably superior to anything I tried at 14 inches (it's at higher speeds where you can feel the difference). This is my personal opinion, but I believe going 1 or 2 inches up does not hurt handling or ride quality on w126's, while it's 1 inch up max on w123's. A friend of mine who recently passed away had 15 inch BBS wheels with Michelin Defenders on his 1985 300CD and it drove like a dream. Plus, it looked hella gorgeous.

Anyone who knows why the US 123s never had rear seat head rests? In Europe that was a quite common option.

Good work! Does anyone know if there is a way to recreate the green sunshade band at the top of the windshield without replacing it?

What’s the opinion on 6” vers 6.5” inch rims? I enjoy the wider rim on the cars feels more stable. And I wish we could stilll get H rated speed tires for these rim sizes. Impossible to find anymore

I suppose Mercedes use to charge a arm and leg if they did Ball Joint job? Anyone know approximate how much that job would be at Mercedes back when they worked on this vehicle at a MB dealership? How much does a typical outside shop charge to do this job? What is effected by the cracked ball joints? I believe my 300D need this job. haha lol

Do you know where to get that ball joint separator? I checked my boots after watching this video and sure enough, boots cracked 😅
