Very nice. I’ve owned 5 generations of s-class, but a well kept w116 diesel finally checked all the boxes for me. I love driving it, it’s easy to maintain, incredibly reliable, and it screams quality from end to end. Every time I drive it I’m reminded why I don’t need a huge screen, endless menus to scroll through, and other pointless add ones when driving from a to b.
I enjoy your casual but comprehensive and analytical commentary. I am a Mercedes Benz classic enthusiast. The W116 is one of my all time favourite Mercedes maybe because my father had a W116 350SE which I used to "steal" often. I am looking forward to your features and drives of a W108 280 SE, W116 350SE, C107 280SLC, W201 190E, C126 560SEC and WR129 500SL (or SL500). Good job. 👍🏿
I wished I lived in Australia I would be running to buy this car if it isn’t already sold. $38,000 Australian dollars for this is a bargain seriously it looks like it just rolled off the factory floor . A real Time Machine the car of my dreams when I was young but couldn’t afford . Now I can afford but it is in the wrong country dam.
This is my daily driver w116 300SD. Pleasant experience every day.
me too 😁
Just bought at 280SE myself to be my daily, very excited

Agreed, the screens, and other junk that is on so many cars now are useless in the end.
DREAM CAR !

The colour 😍 .. very professional review :)
good work on the review mate!!
Nice presentation, thank you. I have always liked the 116, understated luxury that doesn't try too hard to be something.
Very nice car !! And only 117,000km!!!!!
Nice presentation. Thank you!
4:45 looks like it's running a bit hot
Yeah mine runs 90 tops.
Spot on. These are only going up because people are finding out about them.

I've had 3 of them and just bought my 4th.
W116 cars are the best in my opinion.
The last REAL mercedes.
All 116s were fitted with a 4 speed automatic gearbox
Are you sure?!
Only the 280 and the diesel. The v8s have 3 speed gearboxes.
No they weren’t.
No.
That was Dr Victor Chang’s car. Oh, spoke too soon! You put that in your video
Yes
I thought the 108 was first s class
Is this car for sale, or is it just a review.
Yes it’s for sale at Unique Motor Garage.
That's cool to see 95km/h in 1st gear and 155km/h in 2nd
but what the fak are kilowats?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌
Those silly white wall tires have to go. Seriously 😂😂😂
