Glad to see this tribute to one of the most (if not the most) gorgeous and elegant cabriolets ever produced. An ageless classic!

Wow hearing the last info regarding this beauty really brought it into focus for me! Excellent job my man 👍

The most beautiful car of the 70s !!!.

REALLY NICE. I thought of these as old man cars in the past. I am 63 now. I change my mind. hahah

According to DW program 'car world': This model had been choosen as the most gorgeous car in th 20th century...I agree with them.

Only thing left is getting rid of the hideous steeringwheel.

That is one beautiful car. Love the color. It is one of my favorite cars ever produced.

I'd agree with sobelou, but from a video point of view could I suggest that one of the most important views to show is the one from the driver's seat, looking over the bonnet and three-pointed star onto the road ahead. Lots of really good reviewers forget that to give us the watcher a feel of what they're experiencing and describing. There's no doubt we would get a far great buzz if we got to appreciate what you're seeing. I'm no expert at this, but I drove Mercedes for many years and still remember the feeling of grandeur you experenced when you're driving an old one. Other than that, I'd sling your jacket in the boot but its a great start and I look forward to more. Thanks :)

Good Job Bigdog 👍

Hey there. I really like your editing and I really like the idea of people starting up their own car channels. You seem to put a lot of effort into your videos and I genuinely think more people should watch this. I decided to subscribe and I hope all of my 1200 subscribers also get the message to check out your stuff as this video should pop up on every one of their frontpages. Good luck out there.

Very good review ; it shows that you did your homework. How about you do a review on the W123 , 300D , the turbo one ( 1981 to 1985 ) ?

I agree, the pre 2014 W212 is superior to later W212.

Can you please take some high res shots of this car and upload them. Would like to save some photos of this thing.

That is a dream car of mine. Even though i drove one my late friend owned. It does concern me to hear you speak of the rarity of parts. Which of course means extremely expensive parts.

WAY too much of the guy, not enough of the car. Would have made a decent 4-minute video.

Just Beautiful she is.

You described the 3.5 V8 as the "flagship motor" for Mercedes in 1971. Not true. The M100 holds that honor.

Thank

I am not old. hahaha

he said he has got another channel about restoration. anyone gets what it is called? thanks.

It’s a gorgeous car, but I wouldn’t know since all you show is you driving.

Are you Joe King bro?

how much ?

please switch the steering wheel to the original, the state that is now look just awfull

TheGetawayer Hi Guido, I've commented on a few of your videos in the past under my KingPNW channel name. I've created a new channel called AutoNauts inspired by yourself and many others here on KZfaq, which is dedicated to car reviews and car culture. I hope you'll give it a look, and maybe even subscribe!

So proud of their user's manual but still featuring that abysmal steering wheel, LOL. In case this is original thank you to idiot first owner. Otherwise thank to the next idiot. Great car though...
