I'm so in love with these cars, true timeless classics

This was Mercedes Benz's peak, from the 60's to 80's. They were truly in a class of their own, best cars ever made. Keep those classic MB reviews coming.

I've been waiting for this. Wow. Old cars were really meant to last. I still see W123 on the road. Galing!

The younger generation thinks the styling is just "squares on squares on squares", or "something a child would draw". If that were really true, would you be making a video of it? This is the second time I've seen a younger reviewer say such things about the W123. Wherever I drive mine around town, even when dirty, it gets LOOKS. For goodness sake, Mercedes designers took a lot of time and care to make this timeless, classic styling. Sometimes called in the old days, "conservative elegance". Everything is so "over the top" now in the world you grew up in. Everyone has to drive a Ferrari, style wise, that it is now easy to miss the perfectly proportioned understatement that is "just right". Its all about the proportions, the perfect balance between too curvy and too boxy, the lighting (a lot of black in just the right places, not just chrome), etc. If you are really blind to these, please take a closer look, or do some research, or take an art course even. Saying "like a child could draw" is really a huge insult to the work that went into the truly timeless aesthetics of this car, which you are appreciating, but not realizing you are.

It’s great to see fellow young people being interested with these youngtimer mercs. Great car review!

The W123 is built like a TANK. Great car and is super safe even if you get into an accident

It's always nice to see an unmolested example of such a fine automobile! Great vid as always, Kyle!

Best Car ever made! I had a 1981 300D and now I have a 1985 300D turbo. I want to be buried in this car!

I just discovered your channel and I really like it. I love the fact that you review not only new cars, but also old and classic ones like this Mercedes, which I totally love! Subscribed! Keep up the good work!

I love how your reviews and commentry includes rolling shots of this car!

I have been waiting for this as well. Finally a w123 review!

That dead zone on the steering is a steering rack coupler/bushing that’s worn out under the dash. I found this out on a different model with the same rack. When you replace it, the steering is very spry and heavy.

This is by far, the most beautiful and best engineeried automobile ever built. Not born to be wild but born to run. Buy one if you can, it's never too late. ❤❤❤

Stunning car! Based on the seat design, the seat material is MB tex and not leather. Leather was an option but it meant the pleat was different than what you have here. Also, pre-81 sedans in the US didn't have the wood insert around the shifter. That must be a later add on. The wood shifter is not original either but looks nice. The straps on the back of the front seats adjust the lumbar support. And like someone said earlier the steering prob needs adjusting. If you drive one that is properly tuned you'll be amazed at how well it drives.

Beautifully Restored & the review is top notch....👍👍👍 Keep them coming

Amazing review 🔥🔥🔥 keep up the great work bro👍❤️

Love the remembrance of my W123 200-petrol ; olive green~so pleasant n comfortable to drive. But the morning start, need to pull choke n crank a bit. Constantly checking the stromberg carburettor for excessive oil deposits. Great video 👍 👍 👍

AT LAST THE REVIEW HAS ARRIVED! Very good review Kyle. These cars just drive differently from other cars. When I was 18 I test drove one of these as I was about to make a purchase. When it was suggested that I should get one of these as my first car I was really skeptical. I didn't really know much about Mercedes of these era at the time, but based my skepticism on my lolo's W201 190 (4cyl). My mom and my uncle, who seems to be a "Mercedes Aficionado", said that the Merc that my lolo had was unreliable, and based that notion that many Mercedes from 1999-2006 were expensive to repair when something goes wrong. Being the open-minded person that I am, and because of the fact that I would be driving a Benz I gave in to the suggestion and did the test drive. My impression of the car was that it was still cool, despite the exterior and interior condition of the car was not the best, I enjoyed the feel of it. It was a slug, however it was more powerful than my '88 Mistubishi Mighty Max 2.0L (Carb). Surprisingly, I found myself driving much slower than the speed limit on the road because to me it felt like I was driving fast! It's weird I say that, but the plushy softness of the seats and the suspension made me perceive the boaty ride as fast as it glided over the road. After that 30 minute test drive, I fell in love with the W123; it was charming. I never ended up making the purchase as it wasn't practical for what I needed my first car to be. I was just starting college and needed something as reliable, but with better amenities such as A/C the most important thing. The 300D Turbo that I test drove wasn't in the best aesthetic condition; the headliner was ripping and some exterior trim pieces were missing, and the paint wasn't the best either. My mom knocked some sense into me saying that I would end up spending a lot of money restoring it. when I should be spending it elsewhere like school, school supplies, and saving money. In all, if I ever have the money I would get definitely get one. If I could have some cars to start a collection the W123 300D turbo, Volvo 240, Porsche 944, E30 325i, '78 Honda CVCC, and a W201 190E 2.6, to honor my lolo's memory. (The best version of his car).

Been anticipating this, and your R107 review. I also saw your ad on the W140. Sayang bro! Keep it nalang.

I always loved Mercedes turbo diesel someday I will own one my dad used to have a 1977 300SD turbo diesel

Amazing review sir, staying tuned for more. waiting padin sa montero sport review haha😂

He is not exaggerating when he talks about how glorious it is to close these doors. They're as solid as a bank vault.

Great review, I have a w123 300D and a w116 300SD. Both are a joy to drive and easy to work on. Awesome car for introduction into classic Benz!

Great review! Thanks! 😁

Ultimate daily car

This is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word: Chedeng.🤙

Wow a perfect w123! I used to own one passed down from my grandmother. But Had to sell it already.. Im missing it dearly. Great review! hope to meet you someday.

I witnessed your review IRL!

Awesome car! I see many us-spec mercs from the philippines on Instagram and wondered, are these converted or were just so many exported from the US to there?

Nice nice❤💯👌🙏 Love the Classic Cars!

..................Kudos to you for maintaining this vehicle I have two cars benz w 115 and 123 Both vehicles do not run very badly The w 115 car was the official car used by the world’s first prime minister My dream is to get those 2 cars running It is not easy The politicians of sri lanka have stolen the national economy and the whole country is in debt to the world The country is now being run by IMF and world aid Everything is taxed Just breathing is not taxed I have seen benz cars abandoned in some countries which are in the best condition Both my cars have about 60% damage to the bumper Recovery is difficult If you have the body of the w 115 or 123 cars in you possession, I would be grateful if you could provide me with the body of those cars. Also, if there is any possibility to help me in making these two cars, I would be grateful Sorry if there was a mistake…… I am also a person who loves benz cars…………………

What was that tire size? I thought 190/70/14 was the max size? Anyone know? I want to upgrade the tire size on my 1980 240d

There is an adjustment on the steering box to remove the play in the steering wheel. Side note, at 11:49 that looks exactly like my 300D!

"Not reliable, but dependable." Uhmm, what?

“Not the most reliable”. Shortly afterwords you say, goes 1 millions easy? Haha
