@@The_Ed_Hodgers glad to hear that, Chevys are good but I still stand behind Mercedes. I own a Chevy Silverado that’s been a good truck but has some major flaws. The oil pick pump o ring can fail leading to low oil pressure which can cause bad problems. That being said my Chevy has cost me more to date then any of the Mercedes I’ve owed over the years. AMG has been designed so well I found the motors user friendly and cheap to maintain if you do you’re own work. I love LS motors for the fact it’s cheap to mod but things seem to fail more often in gm products than my Mercedes that I drove more often. My chevys constantly have bad alternators, power steering pumps, valve cover gaskets, ball joints, and other major chassis work needed. My Mercedes have stood the rest of time and abuse by me and continues to hold up under normal maintenance and repairs.

When these cars were new, few owners drove them themselves. Those who did packed plenty of provisions and wrote out their will before starting out. There's a place in England called the Haynes International Motor Museum where you can service vehicles of this age. It's in Sparkford near the town of Yeovil and (for military types) not to far from RAF Yeovilton home of the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Worth a look!

This particular car was in fact designed to be operated and enjoyed by its owner, though it would be maintained and started by a valet.

Kinda ironic cause Mrs. Benz loaded up the kids and drove one a good long ways to demonstrate it’s reliability. Iirc it was like 150 miles or something. Anyways, that belt or a belt broke at one point (not really Benz’s fault besides choosing a crappy belt supplier) and Mrs. Benz used her stockings in place of the belt and made the trip successfully demonstrating that the contraption was hardy enough that a woman and kids could travel the same distance in a day without breaking downs as a horse drawn buggy could travel over several days.
