No airbags, just a seat beat... thats crazy... the irony is at the time of the accident he was listening to Tracy Chapman-Fast Car

[@patrickcannell2258]

And her surname was Chapman!

[@Catcrumbs]

That's not irony.

[@gwynt909]

I have a 40 year old w123 merc in which i feel so safe. It is the best car ever.

[@brianmbanga7306]

W123 is a tank. One of the safest cars ever built.

[@abbasum5271]

What about W140 ??

There's a BMW advert that, apparently, made a mockery of this advert. I can't find it on the internet.

That's what I came here for!

@@mashudunemaangani6289 Hi, wasn't there another advert with a landcover coming back up Chapman's Peak?

[@mashudunemaangani6289]

@@dannydu3766 not sure. But I'd love to see it!

[@patrickcannell2258]

Mercedes got it stopped quickly in court. But 30 years later we still remember it. BMW achieved what they wanted. But today they are much the same loaded with plastic and electronics. Back then, Mercedes any day.

Fine automobile ! Shame they destroyed a nice one for this advert.
