You owe nobody an apology. That transformation was outstanding. That Benz clearly shows decades of neglect and you were able to bring her back to glory with some love. I think the results are as good as they'll ever be!! Thumbs up!

Love how ego free this is. Just a guy with some skills, loads of graft and a very realistic grasp on improving a cars appearance. Great work, and great video

whenever I see someone treat an old car with respect and admiration especially old Mercs, I get emotional (wipes off a tear). May you live a long and happy life.

The production quality for a channel with 3k subs is incredible. Love the w123 too, check for rust behind those chrome wheels arches

Saving these old timers is a pleasure

Can’t believe the production quality. Awesome job!

I just spent 20 minutes watching a guy detail an old merc ... great video Sam, thanks for making it and putting the effort not only into the detailing but into the editing and music. 20 minutes well spent. keep them coming .....thank you

Great job! For those born in the 80's, it's one of the childhood's cars. I'm from Bucharest Romania, and there is a lady who owns one the same color, but it's completely new and mint condition. When she drives it in weekends, it looks like she just came from the dealership.

Perfect interpretation of the rebirth of the old car style

No need for any apologies, that old Merc looks amazing, you’ve saved her 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

After watching this video, I’m subscribed. Love the older Mercedes

Production of this video deserves an A+

Mad respect to you for all your hands on work. The results are amazing. Subbed!

Wow, this is beautiful 😍 another classic to see many years. Thank you.

Great job Sam, well put together video as well man. Credit to the guys & girls at HQ. As usual I love the honesty and raw passion with no BS. We don’t live in a perfect world, so it can’t always be perfect. Just got to work with what you’ve got. You didn’t hide away from refurbishing the alloys yourself, you did what we all do and broke out the rattle cans. Kudos my man on a great vid and project! Results speak for themselves, you’ve given that car a lease of life. I look forward to the rest 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I wish i could do a full restoration of my father's w123 she has a lot of rust but the engine runs perfectly. BTW NICE JOB i realy like it i hope to keep this car for ever!!!!

Wow! I got to say that was an impressive transformation. Those wheels look so much better and that paint became a jewel!

This was just awesome & inspiring! I currently have a 94 320e wagon (daily driver), that I’m fixing up, with my brother, as well as an 83 300td wagon that needs a major love. It just brings me joy to see these gorgeous vehicles restored to their glory! Thank you!!

Awesome effort mate and a huge amount of labour on your part. Its always hard to know when to stop as projects like these demand so much time. I loved the quality of your video, choice of music etc and look forward to seeing more of your content.

Coolest thing about the car was the Laker Airways sticker!

Very relatable ... working with what you got and no focus on product brands. Amazing how effective technique and a little elbow grease can bring out great results! Thank you for giving this W123 some TLC!

Man, I didn't want this video to end. The editing and his personality and just overall was one of the best videos.

Can't believe how good you got this to look without paint, Credit to you.

gold is still gold and it always shines!! amazing

I swear this channel will be BIG in the near future. Enjoy the vibes, story-telling, and story-boards.

Lovely Jubbly, I remember these Mercedes being released to the dealership, and local car shows when I was a kid, you've done this one proud.

That looks stunning, a testament to hours of graft and honest work, worth a sub just for this.

Dude the final job outstanding, the model of the car and stance of the car priceless

Hello, the work you did here was truly magnificent! Same goes for the video, a cinematic pleasure to watch! Best regards

This is an extremely satisfying video. Awesome to slowly watch the transformation of that vehicle and the production quality is incredible.

I’m actually looking at a late 70’s early 80’s model to rehab. This is the vision I had. So helpful to see in person what I could only imagine in my head. I’ve been trying to talk myself out of it......now that I’ve seen this video I’m having a change of heart .

What a lovely team and the production quality is sick! Glad i found you guys and it seems this vid will be your brake through 👏🏼

Hats off to whoever did the videoing and editing.. The Detailing was great also.. Great production. I've seen much bigger channels with nothing close to this.. Nice work Sam and team.. Subbed!

INSPIRATIONAL!!! I hope I have as much luck as you did with this one. Mine is a W126 1983 300sd Mercedes Turbo Diesel Thanks for letting me watch you work.

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and aside from the super impressive detailing, I can't believe the incredibly high quality of the camerawork and editing. Absolutely knock-out, great work! Also that Benz looked fantastic when it was squatting down low, I loved it.

Brilliant job Sam. Serious about of work for one guy. I love these old Mercs. Had three of them. Great engineering but suffered from rust. Keep up the good work.👍

Great job indeed mate ! I really appreciate your video and the back to an awesome stance job you perform... thanks

this is a beautiful mercedes, dont be afraid of the rust, theyre super solid even when rusting, i have a very rusty w116 from 78 and i daily drive it, i just treat any rust i find and enjoy it. hope you still have it!

just want to thank you my man. it was a joy watching such effort put on a car, and such great cinematography as well

I've got a w201 and same issues there regarding paint.... Fantastic cars though! Well worth the love

wow!!! This was a remarkable job! You certainly love your product too.

Nice work. Thank you for sharing.

1 person who loves there job and a passion for what they do to me is brilliant, I’d daily that no problem 😎🤙

Gotta love Sam probably one of the nicest blokes in the uk car scene 🙌🏽

the guy behind the camera hands down THE BEST!

You have done an amazing job considering what you had to work with. I commend your dedication and commitment.Love the end result! Ignore the naysayers and Keep up the good work Dude! You should be so proud right now!!!

Sam that’s one amazing job given the state of the car initially, totally agree with not changing parts you lose something when you start that game and it’s never ending, who cares about some swirl marks it’s age appreciation! Great video also.

Your passion for detailing cars is clear throughout the entire video, well done!!

Truly outstanding. You have a gift of knowing what to look for and the determination to restore the look of what was a great vehicle.

GREAT WORK!! Perfect filming. Really like this restoration. Much support from here in Denmark. Keep it up.

I remember this model it was a common taxi everywhere in Europe. Nice job 👍

This makes me want to buy w123! 😍

Hats off to you mate, that looked like a lot of work. End result is well worth it though. The stance on that is incredible too. Video production is amazing too. You got my sub!!

This is one of the videos where you can’t skip forward

Amazing job. My first car was a ‘84 300D. 12 years and 300KM later, it still runs! If you were on this side of the pond you would definitely be seeing me. You earned a sub. Great job! 🇨🇦

Really excellent video, love the details and showing glimpses of you actually working were neat! One suggestion though if I may, it would be cool to see the car being driven at the end. Cheers!

Video production was out of this world. First video I’ve seen of yours but I’ve subscribed and hopefully it’s the first of many. Ps my dad used to have this in a yellow colour 👌🏽

Quite literally the best Mercedes ever made, and you managed to restore its charm. Big up!

Thank you for sharing. I'm also getting done working on my w210 E230 1996.

Great production and cool music choices. Well done

The best car detailing Video I’ve ever seen. No🧢 🙌🏽

Super clean,really well done and detailed,paint correction shined up nice!

Thanks for the rinseless wash tip in the steamer. This was a good refresher course video.

Lovely merc

Smashed it 🙌💪

I don't think I've ever seen a detailing video from start to finish. Good stuff. So impressed!

Can't imagine how hard it is with cold weather and you out there, great job!

Who was on the instagram live this afternoon 😂😂, Looks brilliant

Awesome video. Great transformation. Can I just say as well, whoever shot and edited this should take a bow.

It was you and the car and it show your passion, beatiful job, beautiful passion, keep saving these jewels....

A Benz is always a Benz. A class above everything else. What a beauty. Such dedication in your work. Take a bow son.

This is the Best Mercedes where ever build.
