      On a little side note, I have really been enjoying your recent content lately, especially your car event 'vlogs' with all of those spectacular cars (that W140 S600 on Amelia Island was stunning!). It is also very exciting that your channel has grown much lately - really well deserved and I am confident that this is only the beginning. Keep up the amazing work as well, take care!

      Thank you very much!! That was my first time at Amelia Island or at a car show of that nature, so I decided to bring my video equipment along to record the experience and the truly incredible cars.

Once again, I'm very much looking forward to seeing all your future videos 😁

    What a machiiiineeee!! I love the 140 Mercedes chassis, they were trully built like tanks. So relaxing to drive.
    That car comes from Spain, right? It passed its last annual inspection in 2008, but it looks mint!

    • @Auto_Lore
      @Auto_Lore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It is truly an impressive feat of engineering and there are very few makes and models that can match the Mercedes-Benz cars of this era in terms of build quality and comfort. You have a keen eye! The car was originally registered in Germany but spent the majority of its life in Mallorca (Spain) as the gentleman who bought it lived there, hence the Spanish annual inspection sticker on the windshield. It was then brought back to Germany around 2010 and a few years later sold and exported to Sweden, where I bought it.
      I would say the car is in decent shape - it only has ~100,000 km on the clock and three owners in total, so it has definitely been well taken care of and driven sparingly. Although it might appear to be mint on the surface, there is something really mysterious about its general condition. I'm planning on making a video about that in the near future, you will then see what I mean.

    • @Auto_Lore
      @Auto_Lore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thank you for watching, it is indeed a terrific and special car. You are definitely right that it is louder inside compared to the average W140, especially at higher speeds. The reason for this is that the passenger window is not properly sealed, so the sound insulation is not nearly as good as it is supposed to be due to excessive wind noise. It might also have to do with the sensitivity of the microphone.
