I also want one now. In South Africa we will pay 3 times that for such an old Merc. The Germans are great engineers. 700 pounds? I will beat that price anyday.
The 124 was one of the best car ever made by MB. Those cars were amazing because they were reliable about every sides. Sometimes you can see one of them still working on the road.
Did try an old Merc, to not excataly a tank, it was an Abbot self proppeled gun, after ripping a Ford Escort apart in one pass, the old Merc after three passes got her own back. Jammed a track on the Abbot. 😁
Besides that the truck didnt hit the engine , is a posibility for the car to not start, fuel lines, fusebox , relays, electrical connections, fuel pump, the tank, it could broke all of that but that didnt happened
12 years apart... yeah they were really toe-to-toe on this kind of thing . I dont think either show could claim ownership of destruction testing to be honest Both were very entertaining and gave a proper insight into the strength and the amount of punishment that a well designed vehicle could take. i was more impressed by the merc to be fair... It was never designed to take the kind of assault that the Toyota might be able to withstand as it was a daily cruiser not a tough workhorse off roader
The thorough AA inspection, pretty much the same report as you would get for an approved motor in the local auction, and the old Merc is probably in better nick than the average auction occupant.
Had a 98 C class as my first car. It was amazing, never had any problems with the car except for a broken relay after hitting the 160'000km. I would still drive it today if that woman wouldn't have crashed into my beautiful benz. I miss you and will never forget you. 1998 - 2015, RIP my dear mercedes. (unfortunately can't say that about the old SL's.. from 93 on, too much electronics in there that can break)
MyCombatforce I don't either :D That's why i put ":P" to reveal my state of mind :P The accent falls on "often enough". It is full o electronics and electrics and as we know,they are RUBISH on cars. Yeah,it looks good a e-trap when you got your 16y.o. girlfriend on your right,but it's just something to go wrong. Anyway,accepting the "need" for E trap,what about electrictly adjusted seats,traction "control","esp",heated seats,electroctly adjusting stearing wheel and so on. Just like Jeremy Clarkson said,they're JUST SOMETHING TO GO WRONG ;)
+motanelustelistu first of all, im living in germany. u cant drive a car alone unless ur 18... and Electric things are the first thing to die.... Electric things destroyed german cars :(
+Andy the car nerd Honda's are quite realiable, obviously.... But I don't think the reliability of ANY Honda comes close to any Mercedes built in the 80's and 90's. Especially the diesel models. They just don't stop running. Plus, it's a Mercedes-Benz. Who doesn't want German luxury?
EFAmex i like you! i did't buy a very cheap very good maintained one when i was 18 becasue of the insurane and tax for it and as a new driver. still regret it sometimes. how is yours doing? what area are you from?
I once had a E300T W124 24V with a Lorinser suspension and loved the car. Even today as a S63 diver still remeber the good old days with this wondefull nice car. He/she was black with black leather and dark wallnut wood trim and the classical 8 hole alu rims.
Stupid series. Heard sorry so many times. I was told, that you say sorry if you did something wrong and then you are sorry for it. Saying sorry and punching someone in the face intentionally isn't the right order. I drive BMW, but was very sorry for this quality MERCEDES.
I really like Fifth Gear but this hurts so much! I'm 19 and I do have 650 pounds, sadly in my country a Merc like this one would cost me about 10k. I'm just so desperate to own a car but they're so bloody expensive here, this video makes me want to stop Vicki destroying the car, and politely ask her to give it to me as a present
Oh good, finally I know which car to buy since I'm occasionally run over by monster trucks. Anyone can recommend me something that handles a 30 ton press? Thanks.
Well, this would technically be a "dead car driving" as the damaged axle and body structure have been crippled to the point of MOT and safety-test failure.
I had the utmost respect for Fifth Gear and VBH, everyone in the Fifth Gear crew respect what they do and have the utmost respect for cars, which earns them a living....very much unlike Top Gear which ruthlessly hacks and burns and destroys beautiful pieces of machinery and technology which are cars for fun...but after this I really have a bad feeling about Fifth Gear as well,I WAS a very big fan of your show...sorry but that is my view and I DO NOT claim this to be a correct observarion....its just what I personally feel..
prior 2000's german cars were build like tanks. i had a 92 astra. that thing had 250000 km and neder had a problem. i've sold it 7 years ago and the car still run, i don't know how many miles it have but i speack with the new ouner ans he sad that he never had a problem with it. i also have a neighbour that have an old merc with clouse to a million km and that thing is still running flowlessly. but new mercs, oples, vw aren't that reliable anymore. my cousin have 2005 merc e class and he had only problems with it.
I think this was produced ages before the topgear Toyota version, at best estimates not later than 2011, since the car age was 16 yrs, assuming they took the latest model produced of the mighty W124 in 1995
I remember these queens of the road when they rolled out from the Merc show-rooms back in the 80/early 90s , putting most mass-produced manufacturers in the shade 😎 Great Video guys....👍🏼
i have a e46, at the time u was deciding between a mercedes or an e46, i took the e46 but till this day i still think about trading it sometimes, i am happy with mine and seems to be very rough to, has 406k km and runs like new but those mercedes dont get off my mind
I all most cried over this Mercedes I've always dreamed about having one of these
Omg me too
ofcourse,it was the golden days of it age...before it was Designed unreliable and money scam (nowadays)
I also want one now. In South Africa we will pay 3 times that for such an old Merc. The Germans are great engineers. 700 pounds? I will beat that price anyday.
@@RAYSGT asshole
We have one this is pain to watch D:
this made me cry. I've loved Mercedes since I was 3.
when you were 2 you preferred bmw i assume
That deserves a professional restoration after all this.. Gwan, have some heart.
vtr0104 they blew it up
@@cheekypepsi8772 write off*

'we were keen to see the results of the AA thorough inspection'
'good car that'
lol
1:43 That merc handling that impact was amazing! Built like a tank!

They should make a new show,
"How to destroy an old Milf"
ild buy that for a dollar !!!!
Vikki is so hot
+Mark C they already make that type of show....
+fixt100 oh??
+fixt100 what is the name of the channel?? plz answer tanks!!
All this show is missing is James May, Richard hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson
+Bro Namath And her... gagged and strapped to the hood!
+Alan Garner (removoe) big fan of you alan love you bud for all the chuckles you have given me ;)
top gear
+ChaosHusky qeer ? anyways XD
Let's start the Grand Tour vs. (new) Top Gear debate right here
What did that poor car ever do to you? ;(
Everything! Its steering wheel was on the wrong side.
no, it was on the right side, which is the right side...
How about Fuck off. That name tho.
Martinoffi It made them money
@@connorbarrow6441 it's British that's why
Hurts my heart to see it destroyed :(
But just shows that those ol' Mercs were built looking tasks :D
im still driving one 25 years old, it never lets me down and drives like a new car, i love it, every thing still works
Nothing compared to clarksons Toyota
Yep
Yep
Yep
Yep
I think the hilux ist still working..
i almost started crying... oh well, it had the steering wheel on the wrong side anyway

But it's on the *right* side hehe.
wilkgr
i see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dieter das Bier
:D
comments like this annoy me. For britain's it's on the right so actually it's on the correct side since its a British car.
This is freaking nutts! holy sh**, thats a well built car
And so is clarksons old Toyota
These things really were automotive engineering at its pinnacle. It's a shame they didn't continue as the years wore on.
It really is :(
I don't understand the hate on here. They have drowned the thing and driven it over with a monster truck and it still drove. You should be proud.
You killed a good old Mercedes-Benz 😢
of course she started, the monstertruck did not touch the engine...
It did touch it.U are just another bmw lover and merc hater.
veljko BOI LMAO You Merc fanboys are sooo sensitive 😂 When Tf did he said he loves BMWs and hate Merc??? You dumb? He only stated a fact
Besides that the truck didnt hit the engine , is a posibility for the car to not start, fuel lines, fusebox , relays, electrical connections, fuel pump, the tank, it could broke all of that but that didnt happened
copy top gear much?
+AY SKITZ not every car show copies Top Gear.
Mykhaylo Kosykh i know but top gear did it first "can you kill a Toyota pickup''
***** i didn't say you cant but... you'll be basically a rip-off artist
its like a patent for a idea
annd you'll be like china
***** i don't know
+Marcus Björn Rydström (“ZenTaurus”) I'm 99% sure they were... (and as a matter of fact, they were)
just an "on the budget" version o top gear's killing a toyota
Fuck off
12 years apart... yeah they were really toe-to-toe on this kind of thing . I dont think either show could claim ownership of destruction testing to be honest

Thumbs down for killing the poor car.
Thesis n
It still ran
still alive
Awww poor Merc ;( but atleast the car survived :D
The thorough AA inspection, pretty much the same report as you would get for an approved motor in the local auction, and the old Merc is probably in better nick than the average auction occupant.
driven over by a 4 ton truck, IT STARTED, UNBELIEVEBLE, and can MOVE, this is INSANE
This is more gruesome than a cold blooded murder,how can someone do this to a Merc
1:19 Monster Truck: I don’t wanna see me kill a merc, I’m looking up to the sky.
Old Mercedes never die...
2:59. The wipers are compensating for the wonky window!!! Lol
Had a 98 C class as my first car. It was amazing, never had any problems with the car except for a broken relay after hitting the 160'000km. I would still drive it today if that woman wouldn't have crashed into my beautiful benz.

The old ones are good. Just don't get a new one though. lol, it's a piece of crap.
The w204 c class is a insanely reliable car reaching 400 000 kilometers without problems (these were build 2008 to 2011) And yes im driving one
+MyCombatforce You need to be very strong to admit it has flaws :P I guess you're not quite there yet :P
+motanelustelistu i dont wanna start a fight but if u check it at your local mechanic often enough it will work and work and work and work

Wow! It's like an the strongest man in the world punching the old lady and the old lady didn't even react😂😂😂
fuck people who tell me to get a honda for first car. I want a tank. This is it. Safer than anything.
+Andy the car nerd Honda's are quite realiable, obviously.... But I don't think the reliability of ANY Honda comes close to any Mercedes built in the 80's and 90's. Especially the diesel models. They just don't stop running.

Tyler Cameron exactly. And well, you can get it for a reasonable price too. And safety is more than good.

What happened between 1:10 and 1:30?
All the tires are suddenly flat and such ??
"Join us later for more" Where are the next parts??
The rear wiper . Who engineered that?
I once had a E300T W124 24V with a Lorinser suspension and loved the car. Even today as a S63 diver still remeber the good old days with this wondefull nice car. He/she was black with black leather and dark wallnut wood trim and the classical 8 hole alu rims.
Now try that with a Model S
That is AMAZING!! Feel bad for the car though... :(
Thorough aa inspection "it's a good car that" 😂😂😂
this is pure of german overengineering
The only thing I've taken away from this testing is an unabashed love for Vicky.
Oh man that was painful to watch :(
The Rear wiper still works!
Stupid series. Heard sorry so many times.
I was told, that you say sorry if you did something wrong and then you are sorry for it.
Saying sorry and punching someone in the face intentionally isn't the right order.
I drive BMW, but was very sorry for this quality MERCEDES.
Finnaly a guy that likes bmw but doesnt hate benz at all,im with u mate.
What is this? TG vs Fith Gear?? They're both unique in their own ways. Both great "Tele" and they both get along. Unlike some people here...
I really like Fifth Gear but this hurts so much! I'm 19 and I do have 650 pounds, sadly in my country a Merc like this one would cost me about 10k.

You can't kill him... This is the good old quality! :)
This is too much.. This old baby should not go through all these... She is a legend
Merc is a German tank! simply the best when it comes to luxury, technology and durability.
Who used to watch this for some reason when you were younger? I used to watch this often back when I was 5 XD
Doesn’t matter what all these car show do, they can’t beat old top gear.
This car is not giving up 👆 😂😂😂 3:17
After being driven over by a monster truck.....started and actually drove...
Testament to quality
No you can't kill an old Merc
I can...
Still weaker than a Hillux
Right that
yep
why? the engine still running . a hilux is a pickup
@2:40 the craze for cambering was born :)
Some retired German car-makers are crying as cheering watching this.
The thing is pretty sturdy!
On his way to Los Santos customs
Merc says: YOU CANT KILL ME!
30 Year Old People watching This: Hmm i should buy that car
Oh good, finally I know which car to buy since I'm occasionally run over by monster trucks. Anyone can recommend me something that handles a 30 ton press? Thanks.
+MicrowavesFromSpace Toyota Hilux.
engine was not even touched by the wheels , it will work
imagine that you owned this car for 30 years you loved all the time, then you sold to somebody and now you see they are doing this...
Legends never die
Well, this would technically be a "dead car driving" as the damaged axle and body structure have been crippled to the point of MOT and safety-test failure.
Dat camber tho! One more pass from the other side and it'll be eligible for those slammed events, both literally and figuratively!
That is the Mercedes!Mercedes Benz means quality!

Well if Christine ever comes back as an old merc, vbh should be worried ☺😊nah, good car that, nice vid, thanks 😎❤👍🚗
Clarkson's Toyota: That's cute!
Top strongest things:
Bollards
A brick wall
A Merc
I feel sorry for this E-class. As a kid, I always liked to sit at the back because the seats faced backwards.
😭 Ooo how i wish this was my car... I'd choose this over a mordern car
when people ask why i think a mercedes is such a great car so much i usually show them this video
Mercs are awesome!
just the old ones
Kobe B On t Streets I see so many rusting Mercs. They aren't good. Mercedes is now a Company like Beats or Apple- Just idiots buy their products.
I have to admit I prefer BMW's but I do like modern mercedes'
Josh Street Audi is the BEST!
I like Audi too, I like most German cars some better than others though for me it's BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc... they are the main 3
She's a legend!

dont ever
EVER
EVER EVER EVER
Show this shit on my timeline

Fifth Gear 2014 xD
This is actually from 2006, it just wasn't uploaded until 2014.
What the heck i just saw? Guys if you show gems like these, then they gonna price high.
those stupid wiper makes me cry, as if the car was expressing her feelings
So, how if we do crash test,on at least 30 miles per hour. Top gear Toyota Hilux vs Fifth gear Mercedes ??? Who win !!!!
ah the monster truck. a true American creation. thank you Bob Chandler.
This car must be made of the same material as nintendo cartridges. You can run over those with a 18 wheeler and it still works
The oil pan was smashed from the wait of the truck
I saw accident betwen mercedes E and truck, at end is unbelieveble, truly Mercedes is one of the best Car in History
if they did this with an old Volvo the monster truck would now be a total wreck :D
Or a hilux
I got a 97 c200 it was a taxi so it has gone over 518000 km i have tried but it still starts
keep up the good work
yay the merc still survived!
