    I never see mention of the camera crew on any of the comment sections but what a phenomenal job they do showing the subject of each piece while following the narrative.
    A very talented crew!!
    Also... the clock is so the driver would be able to track how hard he needed to push the car to hit benchmarks.. very important

    Episodes like this are the best. Modern cars get more clicks but this is an amazing piece of engineering and automotive history. Mercedes was so advanced in the 20's and 30's, a W154 was like a spaceship. BTW Jay looks like Tazio Nuvolari.

    Amazing I only saw it as photos, looking on stars like Rudolf Caracciola and Fangio,,Brauchitsch with Luigi Fagiolo and many others.
    To see it running and driving what a wonderful experience.

    Truly magnificent, and Jay Leno continuously relating the past to the more current keeps the story and overall picture in perspective for us many uninitiated. Excellent. One side comment: I’ve just completed a 6.3 300 SEL to showroom condition in the UK, but without doubt the classic car parts divisional M-B Germany do not have as many parts as one would hope. I bought from secondly parts dealers and recovered bits from donor cars around the world. I mention this as Jay Leno indicates everything is available, but my bank account proves otherwise. Nick.

    Great video of a rare car.
    @14:15 Jay says it's "cast iron" in reference to the engine. Only the cylinder head is cast iron. That huge block is cast aluminum with iron liners.
    It still weighs about 250-300+ pounds, as a bare block.
    Thanks for the video, Jay.
