What a fantastic performance by this oldtimer with less than 100 PS and a 4-speed manual gearbox! Hard to believe it has only done 61,000 km in 47 years!! Great video! What an amazing car from a previous age!
This car is reasonably fast and very quiet for a car that is almost 50 years old. A steady 180 km/h without too much fuss is very impressive ! - Of course it's a Mercedes-Benz !

Betrachtet man mal die Beschleunigung angesichts dessen was der Tacho maximal hergibt, ist das wirklich eine sensationale Qualität! Damals hat es den Autoherstellern noch wichtig gelegen, das der Kunde auch Qualität bekommt für sein Geld. Klar wenn du heute für 100.000 € ein Auto kaufst, hast du halt Qualität heutigen Standards. Aber mit dem Auto nicht zu vergleichen. Autos heutiger Zeit die auf dem Tacho bis 180 in Zahl gehen, kratzen schon ab 130 km/h und der da zieht bis 170 km/h als ständen 220 auf dem Tacho.
