more content like this please. I daily drive a rusty 240D and it'll be great to see more classic mercedes videos edit: if that engine wasn't rebuilt then im sure that thing drinks ALOT ALOT of oil
Darn! If only regulations allowed old taxis to run on the roads, we'd still have plenty of classic taxis around. The oldest taxi I've rode in was a 1968 Datsun Cedric back in 2008 before the law banning taxis older than 10 years came into effect. I've ridden in older Peugeot 404 and Mercedes W123 taxis, but those were in the 1980s, so they were not so old then. Hats off to this guy! He's a national treasure, and so is his car.
I wish someone would cover Lebanon's crazy car culture. Lebanese love cars, they have more enthusiast cars per capita than anywhere else. Sports cars, luxury cars, classic cars, etc. Despite economic hardships they find a way to hang on to their passion.
I love the effort and the time put into this. But please use subtitles instead of dubbing: I would love to hear the people talk in theur native language.
Tough old cars. I drive a 1980 Mercedes 240d manual w123 here in usa between North Carolina Tennesse and georgia. Slow as Xmas. Tough. I can use Jb Weld. Duct tape. Silicone. Wire. Coins. And zip ties to keep it running.
Hes happy and still like a champ because of he’s purpose to be able to work at the age of 89. Most of the people may get the retirement at the age of 60 but than what?
Omar is Lebanon natural treasure Also if I am not mistaking another Mercedes’ E230 pass Omar with unbelievable load which I thought is pick up truck . But I was wrong. Mercedes Benz is Lebanon’s nation car and this video I proved it
Interesting that this car was purchased by Omar in 1975, at the start of the civil war in Lebanon. Nevertheless, a million km over 60 years averages to about 16,700 km per year. By North American standards, that is not much, particularly for a commercial vehicle.
How lovely to hear from someone who has been a passenger in his car! Thanks for watching, and commenting! :-) We'd love to hear more about what it was like in his taxi. What route did you travel?
My older brother had the toy pedal version. I loved it "Politzei" edition. I've my fair share since W123, W124, W126, W202, W203, W204 & W210. My favourite was the W202 C230 Kompressor Sport. Lovely little car. I think BMW or Mercedes straight six is the most reliable as it is naturally balanced. However I do know that, E36 & E46 4 cylinder versions got excellent milage especially the manual gearboxes
Beauty of a car. But their is only 1 king of all kings and that is the Almighty LORD of the universes. ☝️💚. Change the title and watch so many views u will get
Many say unkind things about Mercedes tailfins. However, they are really a safety feature. From the driver's seat, they mark the rear corners of the car, which you can see while backing up. Try that with most modern cars!
