1. Beautiful benz! I've got a 72 280SE 4.5 and there really is nothing like how they float down the highway like riding on a cloud!

2. This will outlast crap Mercedes is producing these days

3. He really loves this car…

4. I love jay leno and vintage mercedes too 😃

5. Wow always thought the 3.5 was still a straight 6! That’s sweet such a tiny V8! Those door panels are like the Brandenburg Gate. Trunk gorgeous single piece. The roof and tail converge like a bauhaus design. And these were running secret missions at the height of the Cold War.

6. Perfect gorgeous sedan.

7. Regarding the Mercedes Classic Car Center, they definitely don't have all the parts for the earlier Mercedes. I contacted them for a part for my 1984 230e and they simply told me it was NLA (no longer available). No offer to 'search the world' for the part. Parts for these cars can be very difficult to find and very expensive if you can find them.

8. Who are the clowns that down votes these videos? They should be banned forever… unbelievable. Thank you again Jay, I love this car and all your videos!

9. I could be a multi millionaire and would need nothing but this for my daily transport. I would feel pampered at that. Plus I have a feeling that owning it for such purpose would make me feel very smart.

10. 😍🥰👍🏽
