This video is NEXT LEVEL! Patina to the Moon 🚀 Love this docustyle approach to an individual car. Every car has a beautiful story 😊 Thanks for sharing this one!
Just like the other "dedicated" video you guys did for the S72 this one also sets a new level for this Merc game. We've seen nice Mercedes here and there but nobody really showed these cars like you as Vico said in one of your videos. Insane knowledge about the rarest cars and this whole palm tree/ florida background gives a whole different vibe to it. I'm watching every one of your videos religiously. Patina quality this time again. As a multiple Mercedes owner myself I want to thank you guys in the name of the community for this type of work. We've seen channels , trends come and go in 5 years but I really wish you guys success and longevity. Real humble dudes always react to comments and keep the contact with the fans. I really hope I can visit you guys in the museum one day ! Shout out from Europe !
that BBS Mahle fits the G soo well, it looks rugged and yet soo sporty. Mega content as usual from the Patina gang, this is what passion is all about. No talk about prices or anything vulgar like that, just pure history and the love and passion for vintage AMG's. Keep on keeping on man. You are doing AMG the justice it deserves
This is worthy of a Patina Collective+ streaming subscription fee, and right outta the gates! More high production dispatches from the Kingdom just like this please :)
Amazing episode, great format - lots of research and editing went into it. Really enjoyed the story, this car has such a interesting history - It is likely one of the very first if not the first AMG G wagons brought to the USA. Imagine all the people that we're influenced by it from 1984-93 when Ivan & Warren drove around the country in it. Lovely car, great people, its a piece of history.
Whoa! Ivan Lendl. 🎾 Man i remember watching the match when he beat McEnroe as a kid. I can't believe you flew him ✈ into PC headquarters. He sure looks different. Crazy story that makes for a Priceless whip
what a great documentary. My father purchased a land-mine damaged military G-Wagen in 1982 from the British Army having been to the Falklands. He brought it back to the UK to restore it before shipping it out to the USA when he moved to Indiana in 1984. It followed him to Michigan where he sold it to a friend and collector of military vehicles. Years later he bought it back when he moved to California where it stayed until around ten years ago when he sold it to a Canadian Film vehicle Company. I remember visiting Michigan as a kid in the late 80's and nobody knowing what it was, or presuming it was a modified Defender! So unusual, especially being LWB rag top with riffle racks!
Wonderful video! Well done guys,. You set a new standard with this video and from now on this is how the videos should look like. Amazing story! Priceless appearance by Mr. Lendl!
I love this type of media they do with the British narrator like the very first videos they post , it’s a hella sharp contrast from the day to day blog
Excellent Program - thank you for sharing this with us! It makes me appreciate my ‘91 R129 500SL even more just knowing how much detail of the many German hands that designed (Bruno Sacco’s Team) and actually those who touched my vehicle before it was delivered here in the U.S.. Keep growing and delivering to us these one of a kind Mercedes videos. You’re a blessing to all of us Mercedes Benz owners. 🙏
Incredible episode! Love the narrator & this type of information being brought to the RU-vid space; Very excited to see more of them, You guys are killing it 🏆
I luv your videos Vico and Daniel! Your Mercedes collection of exclusive cars and oldtimers is outstanding! What I wanted to ask yet is, if you can name some of the brands and models of the sunglasses that you are wearing? There's nothing better than driving a Mercedes convertible with some fancy shades on! Great videos!
Epic Video!! - production is next level and exactly how we the car enthusiasts love a good story behind each cars individual history and especially when the past owners come on board & Hartmut himself from AMG's pre-merger days contributes. Even the story teller's voice & music choice etc is fitting in so perfectly with how doco's were produced in the 80's by the likes of Mercedes etc - you guys have nailed it - well done!!!
Cool video, I enjoyed it very much. I have not seen Ivan in a very long time. I'm Glad he is doing well and you guys got to have him join the journey. cheers
Love the w116 headlights, maybe with w123 would be good too, as they are taller and a bit narrower so a wider grille could fit, as a V8 that it just needs would keep cool
I follow you guys on a irregular basis from the beginning of this channel. You have now opened a new chapter and have raised the bar for future features. Congratulations. Very appealing. 👍
Slm greetings have to say u guys nailed it with this g class the story line is tops very lucky find keep searching there maybe a few left hidden also lendl himself well done 🇩🇪⛽️🚘🚗
What a story this car have , from ivan to a passionate Mercedes guy that used it was supposed to for many years and now to these guys that Will display the car for thpusands of people that Will see it in the museum. I can totally see why the last owner decided to let the car go,cant think of Anyone better to buy it
These types of informative vids in between the normal types we see are exactly what we want and love keep is up! Barbus Boys doing it big AMG forever 😎
Amazing editing! Thanks Patina Boys for making my Monday morning. And where did you find that narrator? He sounds more British than me! Much love from Berlin ❤
Have you tried to contact Kurt Pflugfelder? Today he must be in his late 70s/early 80s but AFAIK he was the mastermind behind all the special G-Wagen projects at AMG like the Sheik cars, Hotel Ritz Paris, V8 W460s, GON cars, XLs and XXLs, G63 V12 etc., etc. … I still have his home address in a small village near Affalterbach :)
dang dude i had no idea it had cse's!!!!!!! i saw it on your first video. i saw it o garage90x, youngtimers and other that showed the patina collective on video. im a OG fan. its so weird to see the recaros but a stock steering wheel. so often its vice versa. what a killer video. the classic footage of the sgs and all 6 other g's. fuckin epic. cheers
No way haha crazy to hear Ivans name. He lives here in vero beach Florida in an ultra exclusive community called Windsor, my parents did the interior design of his home. A nice family
Amazing documentary thank u patina boys for doing these documentarys on all of these crazy benz tuners and cant wait for the next. Vico ur the benz god !!!!!
