Life With My Classic - Episode 2 | Raz Roken Rehan aka Mr. AMG 

🙏 Thank you so much for visiting and showing so much love to Ruby! 😍 Alex and I had so much fun, and the car finally got it’s time in the spotlight. Now to watch the episode! 😎👌

Awesome to see Alex gettin some proper recognition!

That was my dad's favorite Benz as well, we called it the V-boot. W124's are a great example of Mercedes mastery at building timeless vehicles.

That part where Raz says "you'll be unimpressed with everything else" actually hits home..

This just completely made my day & beyond. I truly pray Mercedes classics NEVER changes their policy on supporting their finest era(s) of cars. I hope Ruby stays on the road for as long as there are roads.

I have 2 W124s, a 1991 250 Turbodiesel and a 1992 500 E V8. And they will never leave my house, because of all the reasons explained on the video. They are incredible well built machines, confortable and very amusing to drive. Also they are reliable and easy to work on. I don't daily drive them and they don't get driven in the rain too, they are garage queens. I also have a 1996 S 600 V12, a very low mileage one and also a garage queen. The V12 was my dream car, so that one will never leave my house also ❤️

My dad has a 1992 W124 250D, still to this day I'm amazed at how solid the interior is and how well it rides compared to modern equivalent cars. Its done over 200,000 miles and still hasn't missed a beat!

Love seeing our lad Alex everywhere! Winning in Life ❤

I love Ruby. I had a 1984 E320 in a Forest Green with a caramel color leather interior. I have owned so many ‘Mercedes’ many of which were the S Class. The E320 was my favorite and I have always regretted selling it. The style is so unique and it drove so well.

Just starting to watch these episodes and just love them, I have been a Mercedes fan well over 40 years and owned over 18 different models at different times and I can tell you there is some magic about these vehicles that once you own one, you never want to own a different car, they are absolutely unique on every sense of the word.

I love how a w124 gets soo much attention next to G wagon and GT. Amazing interior also.

Yes!! Alex!!! Been watching your shows since 2016 and now here you are! Congrats on your career progression!

Happy Friday! I have a 82 300TD I daily drive that soon, my daughter will inherent. We both love the car and would love to share our passion of the 3 star lifestyle with you! Bought the car at 174k miles from the orig family, now its 202K miles and counting! Keep up the great work. WE LOVE BENZ!

W124 Best Merc ever made period. I had the pleasure of driving the 95 Coupe in my 20s. Wish i never sold it.

Congrats from Portugal, i understand perfectly your attention with the w124, my late father owned one, for sentimental reasons it belongs in the family. Obrigado 👍

They are truly special. I’ve daily driven a 280 w124 wagon for 5 years, everyday. It does everything from the school run to lugging my surfboard to the spot every week, all with effortless grace.

Been a long time since episode 1. So long in fact that I'd actually forgotten about this"series". Interesting that you're talking to one of my favourite car RU-vidrs this time.

This was an Amazing Episode, can't wait to see more.

Great Video. The cars are fabulous but Ruby is so much special, a legacy from its time. Thank you for sharing.

Been daily driving my 190e for the last 4 years and hasnt missed a beat yet. Has nearly 400k kms and still a banger.

Lovely car and great back story. The W201 / 190E on my channel is 33 years old and the build quality shines through and the parts availability from my local dealer is incredibly good for a car of this age!

Nothing like a pristine, time-capsule W124 :) 1993 280E 199 w' black interior, factory air, cruise etc in our "1" car garage. All original with the exception of a modern alarm & upgraded audio (Blaupunkt/Rainbow nothing chintzy). Started life in Japan, imported to UK, now lives in DE -- gets the "H" plate in a few months. 67k km when it came into our possession, now at 114k km. Best car I've ever owned - the build quality is incredible! Super reliable if properly maintained, easy to work on & quite reasonable on fuel tbh. Best thing about owning it.........every drive is an event, it's just such an amazing space to be in, the tactility of the interior, the way it handles, the soundtrack when you put your foot down etc etc. Only downside.....people always want to talk about it - esp' being RHD. Will also never be sold & any amount of money to keep it driving in new car condition will be spent without a 2nd thought. Looking forward to a lot of EU road trips this Summer now that Covid is finally out of the way!

14:57 yupp, back in the days you had to pay extra for a central armrest. I am from Finland and the cars over here were really weird optioned, usually really basic or then with a big motor and basic interior or vice versa. But this W124 has the 300D and automatic, sunroof and power windows, it is a car that would have been unheard of in Finland :D I love the W124, it is such a timeless car and these are soo well built and will last forever.

I was excited seeing the AMGs but seeing the W124 convinced me this guy is a deep fan!

Fantastic episode! I daily my S124 in the same color. Has been my dream car since a teenager.

I currently daily a '93 300D on 185k miles. Most comfortable car ive ever driven and holds its own on the motorway

I like the Taycan in the back behind the G ❤️

A very entertaining and informative show! This content is pure gold!

That cold start c63 lil rev was amazing

Hi Raz. Just come across this video and totally understand the sentimental value of the Ruby. I have my late father's w126 model which is 1983 and that's totally how I feel about the tank. I always get asked if I'm selling this vehicle but it's part of the family. Thanks. I think I need to get that out on some shows

Hello! Great video 👍 Best wishes :)

Mercedes w 124! A piece of art of automobiles... Really one of the greatest cars ever produced and having one myself I can only say that the experience in these cars are amazing.. Thanks for the fantastic review!!!!

I had one looked like that but was gold. E300 had windshield wipers in headlights. Only came gold a nd silver that year! Miss it.

Great show! Just found it because Alex was in the thumbnail in the most recent video. Instantly subscribed just because of Alex

My first car after I got my licence was W124 200E sportline, so many years after I truly regret for selling that car. Hopefully I'll buy 124 again, the best Merc ever PERIOD. Lovely car, respect to the owner!

Always loved the w124 i own a 1993 w124 250d which im currently restoring cant wait to get it finished and drive it!!!.

from phil the mx-5 to the benzes, alex is a true car gem kind of man!

Enjoyed the car with Raj and Alex❤️

My dad also has one and we will never sell it. I was born in 86. The v boot is the first car I saw that I felt was above the rest.

Reminds of my dad, he could praise his car, the only company, and could recommend us to buy from,

W124s my favourite Mercedes generation. Proper Mercs.

I bought my W124 300D TURBO from 1991 few months ago and it's been the best decission I have ever taken, when deciding to buy a classic as second car

“Daily drive their AMG” why that would be me. Daily drive AMG C63s and AMG G63

Lovely Video! Great story telling

Amazing to see Alex doing videos for Mercedes now! (A bit unfortuante about the delay between Audio/Video that is clearly seen in the video)

Nice video. Nice 300E. I had a Silver one. It did 300,000 miles. Lovely car to drive long distances.

First Airfix model was a blue 190e back in the 80s. Brilliant car.

Big fan from morooco 🔥♥️ If you dont have a Mercedes benz you dont have a car 🥱😉💯🇲🇦🏁

Absolutely love the channel! and love Ruby! I also run a w124 300d wagon as my daily and over the years have had numerous 80's and 90's classics and can honestly say that the w124's are the pinnacle of 90's motoring in my opinion! unbelievable cars , also own a 190e and a e30 touring and numerous other garden ornaments 180k on the w124 so far and just run in!

Wow. I could take your place and have the same story. My father, with my help, bought an Almandine red 300CE-24 in 95 and it has stayed in the family ever since. It draws comments all the time, even thumbs up on the motorway from complete strangers. It is maturing like a vintage wine. Built by engineers and not accountants.

Well done for making an actually good choice in presenters, Mercedes. Class content.

Crispy and cold 🥶

Buying a W211 Facelift 320cdi as my 1st car, The Best or nothing! The W204 Facelift C63 is a monster, best 6.2L V8 in the world, favorite engine of all time. Love you Mercedes :D

I appreciate the dedication of mercedes benz 👏

I daily a 1975 Mercedes 300d. People think i do nothing but maintain the car while its not driving. Truth is, i dont do sh*t hahaha om617 has no problem keeping up with traffic. Awesome to see other people wio are my fellow Mercedes enthusiasts driving their beasts.

My 1987 has 734000 km and still has the original rear rotors. Only big problem was the defective cylinder head; a well known problem which was changed at 420000 km. Owned for 31 years. I've put it back into business use as VW no longer has diesels.

I had a 300e 124 and it was an awesome car. I would buy another in a heart beat.

Great episode! Nice Porsche behind the G

I have two w124 300D’s that I daily drive. I’ll never sell them. Also a w123 280e project

This interior. ❤❤❤

This is a fantastic video. That red w124 is also emaculate.

Wish I had my late father's '59 220S Ponton it had a 45 record player!...I now daily '95 W124 E280 limited edition "Masterpiece" on 145K straight six.good vid thanks

when i was 4 yr i remember my dad always play jason mraz on the w124 tape player

Always love❤MERCEDES

Alex and classic Mercedes’ sweet why have not heard off this 😎👌

I also drive a 124 300D 1988 as a daily and a 201 190D 1991 when it’s snowing here in Black Forest Germany. I don’t even have a “modern” car and DON’T WANT one since 16 years. I owned once a just 1 year old Audi in 2007 and just had issues over and over. After quite an amount of money and several times their dealer shop. I was so fed up that I sold it after 2 years. And bought again a 201 190E. With an old Mercedes you always reach the destination, they never let me down which the Audi did… I service my cars myself or I get help from my friends from 123 club of Germany. I’m looking forward to spring again because then I can take out my 123 300 TD Turbo 1984 or my 126 350 SDL 1990. Those two I bought last year and restored them myself. - new paint and full service etc. The funny thing is, they are all Arktis weiß/ Arctic white code 147. It wasn’t on purpose - it just happened. When you look for a specific car models you can’t really choose the color, you take it because condition is ok and it has the specs you wanted. I was just looking for a 123 T Modell with 300 turbo and ABS and sunroof. I was searching since years. Then I found it in France and brought it back home to south Germany where it was “born”. The 126 was also available and I was looking also several years. When you get the opportunity then you can’t hesitate, you need to get it. So it’s now funny that they are all in the same arctic white. Last evening I was waiting at a red light in the 190D. There was a little boy of around 10 with his bike waiting to cross the crosswalk when he got green he passed me and gave me his biggest smile and a thumb up so I gave him also a thumb up and waved him. That was sooo sweet from him! This only happens in an old Mercedes 🥰

Cant wait to get my barn find W124 on the road this year!

Benz channel hard at work giving everyone love in the comments :D

as a w124 230e owner, i advise you to get a inline 6 or v8. they do need some time, love and dedication tho

From building tank like quality almost bullet proof reliable vehicles to smart phone on wheels

What a brilliant series. I live in Milton Keynes and daily drive a 1995 C124 e320 which has been tastefully upgraded with AMG 18" alloys and upgraded bluetooth stereo. I could never drive a modern car again because they have no class, presence, build quality or personality.

I drive every day an w124 200 with carburator!!

Which part of London is this?

Mercedes-Benz is the best cars in the world.

That car will drive 1 milion miles and he still wont have to do anything reliability wise, long life to the old mercs!❤

Lovely car. Really inspiring. My extended family have owned Mercedes for generations and my parents had both a W114 and a 190e. I was proud of both those cars and now and I long to return. I’m a fan of course. Question is do I buy a C43 or do buy a classic 190e with low mileage and keep my performance vehicle from another brand🤷‍♂️ first world problems. Both would be ideal.

I love the Mercedes💕❤️💖 🇹🇷

An electric G Wagon is a sacrilege, thing will get 30 miles of range.

Do you guys have any monster trucks?

W124 Great car :D

У меня W124, я его Люблю, Обожаю, Боготворю.

Whats the Name of the Song in the First seconds?

The problem with current Mercedes cars are not reliable and too costly to maintain.

Come to Chelyabinsk, I have amasing coupe W123 230CE

Anyone else noticing? The stabilization in this video is little odd.

This is how you market your products.

If you want to see like more classics and stuff, i think its better to go to 2nd world countries' rural areas. W123/124 200D or 250D are the kings of rural Balkans. Not to mention Kurzhauber's in daily use, Pontons etc. They might not be in show room conditions but they are a true meaning of daily driving

Awesome!

classic ...music what else ...by watching this video i sit in a 126.770.000 meter Daimler-Benz Mercedes and YES the powertrains are still worth it

I love W124s

230E also good !

Love my W124 500E to death 🙌

Fantastic 🤩

Please do a R129! I believe mr Chris Harris has one

Mercedes es exprex😎💝

my 88 300 CE has 200k mi on it so I decided to turbo charge it...

Il y a deux saurt de voiture la Mercedes ❤ et les autres 😊

Classic lool my grandad has w124 300d 1986 500000km and still drives it. I can buy that for 2000 pounds max

its W124?

Similar to my W201 190E
