- Mercedes used to be on the top of the game between the 1950s and early 1990s. During that time period some incredible cars rolled out of the production line and the stroke 8 is one of them. Some might go as far as saying that it may be the most important car Mercedes has ever made.

These are lovely cars my first Mercedes was a w124.
Great!
This was the first Mercedes I was ever in, my dad had one in a yellow/cream colour. I don’t know which engine it was though & unfortunately my dads passed away in February so I can’t ask him. Watching this brings back memories & a tear to my eye. Ironically I inherited his 2005 CLK convertible so I have a Mercedes again.
Sad to hear your dad has passed away, it's amazing the memories certain cars can bring back though. He must have had good taste in cars if he drove a stroke 8 😉 We might be able to identify what engine it had through old photos if you have any.
@@TheUntraveledPath Thank you 🙏 Yes he did have good taste in cars, he was a Merc man through & though. He was an entrepreneur & businessman & back in the 80s it was seen as a sign of success if you owned a Mercedes, he had quite a few over the years with his final one being the CLK. I will ask my mum if she has any photos of it 👍
@@PaulMcCabe It sure was a sign of success! Few cars had the same presence on the road.
That is one fantastic Merc .
Mercedes-Benz is the best car in the car industry since 1886 till now and the w114-115 is a legend this serie whas the first serie in the factory from Mercedes-Benz with almost 2000000 pieces.
so much cool history! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cool new name!
Excellent video !!!
Thank you!
Your videos are excellent
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Everything you said is right, except that they were accessible for the middle class ; a new W114 (even the 200) was expensive and affordable for a surgeon or a lawyer but not for a teacher or any simple employee, even in rich countries
Can’t quite Imagine that only Doctors or Lawyers could afford one. My Grandpa was a Bus Driver in Germany when they still were civil servants. He bought a new w115 200d back in the day. Saved up the whole amount in Cash. And he surely wasn‘t rich😅
you sound like kermit
Invest in a better mic
It's on the list!
Great content by the way. I had a 1976 200 petrol converted to 240d though it had the original petrol differential! I loved that car. My car gave it for scrap when I was away for my studies 😟
It was the same colour as yours. Was my daily driver during my military service. I really miss her.
@@alashiya9536 Thank you! They are great cars, mine was a 280 petrol and was converted to a 300D. The goal is to make it a 280 again.
@@alashiya9536 It might be time to get another one 😉
