ADS is worth to mention

I have a 98 model super clean black on black people still look at the car in amazement and they're driving new cars😀

Единый Создатель миров сжалился над людьми и подарил им *Мercedes* Всем владельцам MERCEDES здравия и благополучия ! Были W201, W140, четыре года на W124, 1985г.(2.0, 4 - ст.ручка, pierburg, самоблок) Я заглянул в Вечность. Сейчас вновь на синем W140 S320L

Keep calm and carry on! :D

Holly S@#T its EFFSPOT wazzap bro im your big fan from Malaysia and a W140 and W126 connoisseur.

Yup, the accountants would have none of this over-engineered beast of a car 😊

@@HLClassics Hey H&L Classics W140 S600 is my dream car. I'm now currently studying computer science in college and hopefully I can earn enough money to afford a W140 S600 in the near future lol. Just a question... how much money do I typically need to pay for professionals to 100% restore a fully-loaded W140 S600?

@@HLClassics I don't think that is true. It is just that the price has gone up significantly on one just to keep the accountants happy. They have even designed better cup holders to keep the McDonald's crowd happy. Lol

then you haven't seen Mercedes and their cars for a decade. this s class is one of my fav too but that doesn't mean that Mercedes don't make these kind of cars anymore. may be you are right, they are far better now, haha.

We couldn't agree more! Keep yours running and it would be a very rewarding experience, guaranteed.

Mercedes was always ahead of its time, look who founded mercedes and who developed the world's first car.

Just look at Trump...

or Warren Buffett

@@jadaniil And Trump is garbage

Glad you enjoyed it

This W140 does roam Bangsar quite a lot.

They were standard in the high capacity models in certain markets. With these cars, you could configure them extensively to taste.

Yes, the rain sensing wipers were available as an option for later model years, 96/97 onwards. Amazing tech!

2016 was the S Klasse's end unfortunately. S Klasse before 2016 were goated

Would you sell one of the W126’s?

The restoration journey will be a very rewarding one!

Thanks 😁

you are still not in 2021 and don't know that most of these kinda features can be found even in a Hyundai.

@Marko Djurdjevic hyundai and kia are actually amazing

Good luck in your hunt for your perfect W140!

I call you good luck I call you m’lady

Yes, the W140 is amazing even by today's standards. Over time, yours will surely be in better condition as you maintain and restore it.

what is reverse antenna function?

@@bazosmarek7981 it helps you while reversing the car as they pop out when you put your car to reverse they tell you where your car trunk is or how near it is to an object

@@nayabgohar5955 that feature has been removed on later revisions

@@siegfriedbarfuss9379 yea true But it was/is a useful feature

@@nayabgohar5955 yes but obsolete kind of with distance control.

How? My key dont close the Windows 😞

@@melihhabi bruh i have BMW E36 coupe and i got most of the merc extras.

@@Jantata1337 Wtf

The ultimate in excessive luxury

Thank you! We're working on our next video which will be a buying guide for the W140

You would be hard pressed to find a car as comfortable for that amount of money. Keep it, maintain it, and you will be rewarded handsomely.

The W126 and R129 are plenty too! Though the W140 ride quality is a few steps above those models in terms of confort. Once you drive a W140, every other car seems uncomfortable in comparison.

I also love this W140...but Im not brave to own its since a maintenance n s. part slightly higher

@@HLClassics well if you get an R129 V12 with ADS then the ride almost as smooth as the W140.

Go get one! :)

I believe the English pathologist who did her autopsy said she would have lived if she had worn her seatbelt. If you read the owner's manual it says "the most important safety equipment is the seatbelt."

The w140 kept evolving...some things added and/or taken away, depending on the year. Like when rear parking sensors were added, you mentioned, the rear parking aid antennas were no longer offered/needed of assist backing up. The U.S. versions got Xenon's w/integrated driving lamps and rain sensing wipers w/the last '97 revision...plus full body color (no longer gray at the bottom), slimmer restyled ext. rear view mirrors, clear front and rear turn signals, deeper/sportier 6-hole wheels, glass sunroof instead of metal, and a 5spd auto trans. I have a '97 last revision, and bc I wanted all those updates. Over time, the w140 lost the storage in the flip-up front door armrests, the power interior rear view mirror lost it's power option (so it no longer was part of the seat memory pre-set function to change w/each seat memory). The dizzying array of heat/ac front console buttons were replaced w/the digital unit seen here, I think w/the '95 mid-cycle refresh, which brought the rounded trunk corners (like the C140 Coupe) and 1st revision tail lights, and the lower body cladding was revised w/the added belt line around it to make it appear less bulky and slab sided. That's the biggest things, some smaller I'm sure I've overlooked.

I want the 600SEL

Yes it have. But mine is lost for the passenger side seats.

All W140s have the cover

There is a reason there are more W140s on the road than E38s

Choose one with the options that you prefer. Unless it is a diplomatic vehicle with rare options such as bullet resistant glass and flag poles, you would be better off searching for a W140 with the exact specifications that you are looking for.

@@HLClassics originally the car was bought and brought to Finland, my country, then it was moved to Russia, serving as embassy car and year 2006 it was brought back to Finland. I have to mention that it is normal S Mercedes with quite less accessories but it feels safe and reliable investment. Of course I would like to see me having one with leather seats, electric seats and sun roof aswell but do you know how hard it is to find good one. I found few good ones but they had 5.0 V8 and my country has the most expensive petrol price in the world😪

Reverse rods.

We imagine some whiskey glasses would be cool

Sounds like an issue with the latch itself or the alignment of the latch.

Duct tape? Lol

We did honestly try this before. The glove box won over the duct tape...

The top compartment locks directly with the locking assembly. Put in the key, turn 45 degrees, stick a thick wire or a thin allen key into the little groove on the locking cylinder and it should slide out (don't pull the key out while the cylinder is out!!!). Down the hole is a philips screw. Unscrew that and the whole locking assembly should come out. Look for anything broken with the top latch. Have fun.
