DRIVING the Ultimate Koenig Specials Mercedes fleet! 🔥
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We're extremely grateful to have this many Koenig Specials Mercedes in our collection, but we have so many cars that we don't always get to drive them. We finally scheduled a short rideout with the two Koenig 560 SEC convertibles, the Koenig R129, and the red 560 SEC coupe. Unfortunately it was a very hot day and the r129 overheated so we had to end the ride a little early. Regardless, it was an awesome opportunity to get these Koenigs on the street and do something that hasn't been seen in the last few decades.

From the famous AMG Hammer to the Koenig Specials 560 SEC, The Patina Collective is home to the world's most unique and influential Mercedes-Benz. We are not car guys though. We are culture guys. We appreciate these cars for their cultural relevance and the eras of Miami Vice and 80s opulence that they symbolize. The rarest tuner Mercedes from SGS Styling Garage, ABC Exclusive, Koenig Specials, RennTech, Brabus, pre-merger AMG, Gemballa, Maybach, and more, all lie within our Mercedes collection in Boca Raton, Florida. Benz culture runs deep in our blood and we aim to share with you all our passion, knowledge, and dedication to keeping these widebody cars alive. This is more than a car collection for us - more than a vintage Mercedes collection - it is a preservation of global cultural history!

Hey, Queenslander here. I travel to the Black Forest area of Germany fairly regularly for business and the hotel I always stay at has a Brabus meet every month. Sone serious old school money down that way!!!

This channel is starting to grow on me. No BS! Just passion for cars.
Such an underrated KZread channel, I’m glad I came across these videos, so much quality in each video to top it with so many rare benz cars. I hope this channel gets more exposure.
I just replaced the radiator on my R129 this weekend. I opted for the CSF and it fit perfectly and was a breeze to swap. The factory one was starting to leak up top on the plastic tank so it had to go. I love driving this thing and use it as a daily. Over 2 years and 30k miles later, I’m still in love.
Love these cars. 80’s Benzes are what made me fall in love as a kid. The 124’s, 126’s and 107’s were my dream cars back then and still are, and the 129’s a little later. Grateful to have a 117 and 211 to choose from right now, but something from the 80’s is definitely a goal.
Cool cars, sun, friends, Florida... Man, what a life! 🤩
Excellent!!!! I bet you guys turned a few heads on the streets as that is a "very" rare sight these days seeing four Koenig WB's cruising in formation
That SL KS that’s overheating is one of my all time favorites that I’ve seen from your collection, i absolutely lust over that thing❤
I don’t think I’ve ever commented more on a channel than this. I’m in absolute heaven and want to know everything about these cars.
Great to See you all Rolling - GREETZ From Germany
Another great video and great content 👍🏾. How this channel doesn’t have more views and subs blows my mind at times.. Videos are straight to the point and don’t waste viewers timer with filler.
Amazing to see apriciation to this brand guys
Incredible! Such a privilege to see. Some of the cars are screaming out to be turned back to original spec though. No white lenses (orange only) Koenig wheels needed on the R129, factory finish on the wheels needed for the red SEC also. Period correct is everything so hope to see some of that originality returning in the future 👍
Hey, the cars should still be able to deal with the FL weather. After all the original cars are tested in deserts etc. you can definitely get them to work fine in FL conditions guys. If you can't, I have a specialist for these cars I could introduce you to. He's from Germany though. Love what you are doing and can't wait to visit next time I'm in FL. Regards ❤
KILLING ALL PARKING LOTS WITH THEM KOENIG SPECIALS 💯💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪
This episode was on another level

Nice video. Seeing those 4 cars driving one behind the other definitely was a good luck.

Legendary shit🔥🔥
Great video about driving all 4 koenigs
That SL is badass. Wow
awesome video, must have been something special to see live. The R129 w/ M119's always run hot for some reason, even the 124 body 500E and even lesser 400E's run hot..
Die Größten 🙌
More driving montages would be dope
You guys are buying Jean-Michel Basquiat paintings before the world knew how important it was. Mercedes should take a note from you to understand its history, Your collection is Modern Art and you will be rewarded for amassing such a collection. Art.
How do I become your #1 fan. Caus I am. This is absolutely insane to know you guys are doing this.

Damn love you guys biggin up Benz's. I got 2 rare benzes a w124 400e and a white 190e 2.6 amg from the showroom floor with color matched penta rims one owner cars from my uncle.
I so badly want to see Alex Palmieri work on some of these cars and Larry from Ammo NYC detail them.

That would be something! Two of my favorites with these cars and the Patina Collective would be a match made in heaven.
Even just montages of the cars sitting still in a cool spot would dope, not even necessarily driving
Man I would love to help u drive all those beauties my friend. I try to drive my 87 190e cosworth as much as I can.. big ups from Houston Tejas 💪😎
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi from France, love your videos! Driving old Mercs since 22 years, but never had opportunity to purchase C126, only W126, cause in my country they are impossible to have with good engines, 15 years now searching for the 500 or 560 SEC of my dreams....so only dreaming of driving one by videos, and yours are really gorgeous. Regards.

Dope video. Would’ve been a good concept for a music video.
I have a bit of experience with old 80s to 2000s mercs, best thing to do in hot climates is either swapping the thermostat to a lower pressure one called "tropical thermostat" or just take ot the thermostat completely so you have it cycling the big coolant circle all the time it's a common thing they do in hot country's like UAE etc.. and only use mercedes blue coolant ment for these engines diluting it with distilled water 1 to 3
I would very much love to to see any diesel cars and also w126 sedans including the limos!
I have never seen K/S on the road Only on the pictures
hello, i love to see a w126 wagon very rare Mercedes ty
I’m from California and I feel like I’m the only one w a r129 I need Benz friends

It would just be a bunch of w140s... the w140 is probably the icon of the Russian mob...
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN laws)!!!!
If you really need somebody else to help drive I could make time for you.
