    Beautiful car... those 60’s and 70’s S classes were very understated and classy

    I find it amazing how any car lowered like this looks so good.

    Classy and beautiful. I love how you incorporated west coast urban flavor by dropping it low. The pearl paint choice is what really makes this car a vibe. Good execution!

      Probably could run over a couple crowds and have no problem. Built like a tank.

    The car is clean ,classic, and alive.

      A classic car lying in the dirt has nothing to do with a classic car. It was never design that way. The chassis is a part of what was classic.

    Looks even slicker than the popular S-Class Coupe!

    You've done a beautiful job on this W108. Respect. U.K. 3.5s mostly had the different stacked double headlights though. So nice you got it column. Most U.K. are floor. FYI If it's 72, the plate should be a a K or L not a J.

    Please somebody give me hint how all these people afford to restore/mod these beautiful machines?? Sure I can buy an old one for three or four grand but if I can't afford to restore it I don't see the point

      Actually they are mechanics and restore more than just one car and sell it with profit. But its not so lucrative than it looks. It is more a lifestyle and the joy of restoring what keeps them going.

    Why is it right hand drive? Did the original owner import it from the UK?

    • @carscoffeestories2462
      @carscoffeestories2462  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Most likely UK, but as far as I know they also sold some to Asia...maybe japan or hong kong (as a RHD)

    More interior shots and suspension in action, maybe a shot of the engine would have completed this. The owner could be more of a voiceover than the main focal point.

    • @johnsebastianmontoya3697
