"Reichsmarschall Göring has arrived." Captain Slow is on point as always. 😊

Jeremy: "And see these?" James: "Curtains?" Jeremy: "Yes! Does your car have these?" James: "No, they go in caravans!" Jeremy: *visibly shaken*

'' Handbuild just means the doors is gonna fall off! '' has to be one of the best things Jeremy ever said.

That feigned kick after mocking Jeremy about the boot lid, such a bloke thing to do 😂😂😂

0:12 I do appreciate the... Background choices Top Gear made for this episode.

I gotta say, that Mercedes is actually pretty decent even for today's standards.

0:54 "Reichsmarschall Göring has arrived... Morgen!"

My goodness, how well the Merc goes through that handling test, amazing.

1:56 LOL! James' sarcasm is so priceless!

"What I always found really difficult is this" (shuts the trunk) ROFL

'Now, I should stress that what we've got coming up now isn't the usual Top Gear cheap car challenge, because these really are their cars, those stupid tw...' *cuts to video* Pure gold.

What did Hammond say at the start? I was somewhat distracted.

The real difference between those vehicles is what happens after 6:50 . The Merc does the speed with flawless stability, a few fingers on the wheel are enough. That is due to the ammount of actual engineering that went into this car, apart from leather and shiny chrome. That basically is the real strenght of this car - going seriosly fast for hours and still providing an absolutely smooth, undisturbed ride. Although the behaivour of the Rolls can be amplified by bad maintenance, the Mercs of that time are pretty much the closet thing to travelling by plane.

The Grosser prices vary IMMENSELY as of 2019. $50K-$500K. The Corniches are much cheaper at $30K-$180K.

“Some say that’s his own car” That’s way funnier than it should be

“That’s brilliant actually. I have to concede that, because what I’ve always found really difficult is this.” *Proceeds to open trunk and close it one handed*

3:35 James: As you can see, the stig is currently driving a 1.1 litre Hyundai "Ai-E-Yo" Jeremy: It's an i-TEN

This has to be one of the best features ever. The cars, the jokes, the editing, this is just peak Top Gear.

6:49 *Gibberish* Argh, I've got Ebola.

Over a decade later this is still one of the best segments in broadcast television history.

oh man, the sound of the booth latch at 2:06 , quality!

When I looked at a 1972 Ford Zephyr it honestly does look like the Corniche. I totally agree with Jeremy saying it's "a Ford Zephyr with a chrome nose." See for yourselves.

1:27 just another way of saying the door will fall off, amazing! i miss these guys!

The first two minutes of this clip is easily one of the most legendary Top Gear moments ever. So many fantastic quotes.

That Mercedes actually handles amazingly and has features that even $60k cars today don't have

The Grosser did look pretty good at the agility test especially for a car that weighs 2.8t

The Merc is certainly the better car - but the 600 is the single Mercedes ever built that would scare me financially. Every single part of this car that is connected to the hydraulics (and nearly every part is) is hideously overpriced - so it's no wonder that Clarkson paid the price of a new Golf for a service. Jay Leno mentioned a current market price of more than 1.000 $ for a door handle! So even here in Germany where you have a fairly good infrastructure of Mercedes experts at your hand, I'd rather go for the Rolls.

Even just this, two old cars and Clarkson and May arguing, was interesting. They really just had something that can’t be replicated.

I would love to have that Grosser, it would be a perfect long road-trip car with its nearly three ton weight and air suspension, a thousand miles a day, no problem.

Hammonds right shoulder 00:01 absolute 10/10

My parents had a Mercedes like that in the 60's. I remember that thing was a boat. We lived in New York City and would take it to the Hamptons on the weekends to our summer home. I never knew it was so expensive or I would have felt worse about getting car sick all those times. Woops.

That Merc looks badass.

2:10 I love the attempt of James to kick Jeremy descedence

"Curtains. No, they go in caravans." The way Jeremy straightens and looks at James for that comment. Gauntlet Thrown Down.

The best part of this for me, was always the click of the Royce's boot latch when May closed it oh so gently. That alone makes up for all of the Green Grosser's toys.

"Ah, the Reichsmarshall Goering has arrived!" - I'm dead.

That Rolls Royce trunk closing is so satisfying to hear

LOL 7:22 "Children come out of the womb faster than that"

I like how Jeremy's shoes is green-colored just to fit the color of the car.

Man, that Rolls is a thing of absolute beauty.

I love how these challenges will never apply to the average person. Think about it, how often do you see someone driving one of these cars. These guys are completely illogical, but that's why love them.

1:59 Jeremy's face always cracks me up its like "the contest is over I just won" ;D

The grosser, by far the best looking classic car ever made. I even have the wife’s approval. I might one day be daft enough and buy one.

1:36 "It just sounds like a plumbers convention" Hahaha. Funny line 😄.

"children come out of the womb faster than that." - Jeremy clarkson.

4:00 "if this car had a monocle it would fall out now" lol

0:55 Reichsmarschall Goering has arrived. Morgen! 😂🤣😂🤣

"Reichsmarschall Goering has arrived." Beautiful 😂

0:55 "Reich Marshall Goring has arrived" Hahahaha

I'd take that Mercedes any day.

Hammond should have been in a 1957-73 Chrysler Imperial for this.

6:47 Jeremy: ''I've got ebola''

I believe I saw a Grosser on the roads of Singapore about a month ago. The fact that it's a 1960s car makes it look as eye-catching as the two Lamborghini Gallardos I saw two weeks back, simply because it stands out among every other car made today.

3:43 "some say that's his own car" LOL.

0:01 , hey look at him not her

6:03 imagine if they forgot the handbrake still on

Classic James May at 5:27.

2:00 this is what makes top gear amazing

0:38 I love James' pronunciation of 'luggsury'

5:20 Ohhhh that cooling fan hahahaha

Lol Saddam Hussein had both, the Rolls and the Benz 600

Jeremy got Ebola before it was cool.

"As you can see the stig is driving a Hyundai 1.1 liter I ee oh, it's an i10" lol

It's a green Grosser so the boot should be full of fruit & veg.

I think they're both utterly magnificent. I couldn't choose between them. I'll have them both please.

One of the best segments out of some of the classical Top gear challenges.

2:09 only true friends do stuff like this, these 2 are just hilarious 😂

Supreme Mercedes. Always.

"If this car had a monocle, it would fall out now."-May Absolutely beautiful.

Can't believe this was ten years ago damn! And the girl behind Richard though damn!

Nice set behind Hammond

That merc is damn nice though.

I love the pose Jeremy makes when he presses the button to make the boot go down.

i love the sound from that v8 when may is slapping the pedal to the floor...

What an amazing pair.... of cars, not the background in the studio, clearly! Absolutely!

I have watched this 100 times still love it every time.

6:30 close your eyes and listen

I liked the couple of air bags behind hamond at the beginning 💯❤️

My favorite clips from old Top Gear was always when James and Jeremy would go at it with each other

I love going back to this particular piece, cracks me up every time 🤣😂

Man, look at the front end of that Rolls raise when he accelerated! What power!

Today, in this new episode of Top Gear... 6:49 ; I'll be sick. Hammond won't be here. 5:27 ; And James will say something important.

6:57 - The song in the background is "Hands around my throat" by Death in Vegas

Herr Göring 🤣 omg James you just made my day with that speedy response 😂

UK top gear is without a doubt the best and only real Top Gear programme IMO!

Although it had a lot of reliability problems, I'd like to know how a '56 Packard Clipper with torsion level suspension compares in ride in handling. It seems like a clever system that should have been trieed on more luxury cars and trucks.

"It didn't stop, and now it's on fire"

James May: it wasn't 😂 4:54 7:13

I love the top gear challenges! Keep them coming! :)

This is probably my favorite segment in the history of top gear.

These three are alot of fun ti watch.

4:15 "HAHAHAHAHAHA" ......"cock..." 😂😂😂

2:10 That subtle kick 😂😂

I love Rolls Royce, but this time I choose Mercedes....

You can make that Corniche handle much better by fitting Michelin's asymmetric 235/70R15 XVS. the asymmetric tyres make a massive difference to the way the car turns in. .

I wanna see part 2 , Top Gear Good work :)) Keep the same way

All those hydraulics. Sounds like a major maintenance problem.

1966 Mercedes 600 Grosser; Hydraulic power windows. One particular coupling for the line running to the door is $15,000 from Mercedes. 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham; Electric power windows, made with components GM would go on to use for the next 40 years. Parts run around $5 from the pick-n-pull.

By far the most interesting thing about this clip is the young lady stood behind Richard Hammond at the start.

Jeremy: Hyundai i10 James: Hyundai IEO My dad: Hyundai I-Lo
