Tokyo's Hidden Old School AMG Heaven 

it made it nostalgic and a bit sad when you mentioned standing not far away when it opened in the 90s. I think it's because I'm now in my late 30s and realizing that you don't last forever and that many things from the distant past are long gone, but that there are those that survive like this shop and serve to remind us of what it was like then.

these vehicles will never get old. such amazing looking works of art

I really like this style of video. I would love to see you check out some more specialty shops like this.

The Cars, the dealership, and the entire neighborhood is a vibe.

Even muting the audio at the beginning, I can feel the magnificence of these older Benzes... the proud conviction each one holds in their regal aptitude.

The only REAL AMGs.

I’m new here, I enjoyed the video. This episode brought me back to 2006..when i was 23 and i bought my first ever W124 300CE 24V coupe…I will never forget those driving experience especially with “sport” manual transmission…I remember later in 2007 I ordered directly from Japan full widebody kit…from the company named “VITT” it cost me a fortune but the plan was to make my Mercedes looking similar to “hammer” look..Regrettably the car was sold out later in 2009 (I was young and the financial part wasn’t that strong) and then the widebody kit was sold 11 years later in 2020…I miss the car even today..❤ Subscribed.

Great story, good to see J Auto still in business. And the AMG cars are iconic and not going anywhere, their will be a market for them always. Take care, Rap artist DSJ from Los Angeles

Awesome video man. Thanks so much for sharing. The edits and music were on point. I love the older amg's. They just have that muscular & classy look to them the new cars don't, and still plenty of power to have fun with on the road. I have a 1999 W210 E55 myself, but would love to try out one of those 6.0's or decked out 500e's. My mechanic also calls them the "last of the old tanks." Subscribed.

This content is what I’ve been missing the most in my life thank you for this beautiful ageless video and looking forward to much more

Thank you for this work! You gave me a little time travel way back ... the w124 is an awesome car, the comfort, the material that was used for the interior was sooo much unique, build for you as per order. Just nice!

Great video Dino. Great to see the top Spec W124’s. Also lovely to see the sights and sounds of Japan. 👍🏽- Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

You should do more videos like this. Not just about cars but other interesting places around Japan since your commentary is good. Your subscriber count will boom!

In fact on all w124 the mirrors are different so the right one is smaller than the left one. Great shop, thanks for the tour and mich love to Japan from Germany!

The stubby mirror is the standard (smaller) passenger side unit. Great channel, Dino!

absolute legendary cars. thanks for that amazing tour

Thank you for posting this video! I've known about this shop for years but not much information is out there and I was hoping to get an in-depth look at their inventory. The W124 is a legendary platform to begin with, and these performance packages are just beautiful to look at.

Thanks for the upload! I'm envious of you living in the city or country of quality restores and rebuilds, especially on these young timers. Would love to visit the shop if I had a chance to visit Tokyo. Love that Atari sweater by the way, thanks again for this awesome video!

I have a rare R129 mosselman 300slr that I'm restoring, I love these cars and also love how much more appreciation they are getting these days.

Love your videos! Great to see more frequent uploads!

This video just popped up on my feed and you lured me in with the W124 thumbnail. I love the colour coded AMG wheels on these cars, they work so well. I also really like how Japan has preserved its culture - Its such a fascinating place, and they are so respectful of cars. The quality of aftermarket parts is also second to none I think - incredible what they spend on their vehicles often to improve the quality of them only, or on very small details. Really is fantastic. I am very interested in the ABC Kei cars, so anything on special shops for those would be very cool. Also Japan loves classic minis, so turlte trading and the other Mini workshops would be of interest. Thanks for the video.

Great Video Dino - I remember these guys from one of your SH articles. Content is great and much cooler than anything anyone is covering, keep it up!

Really glad you're uploading videos again, and these have been great. All the coolishness and polish of a SH article but with nice music and great commentary.

Damn.... remember reading about this shop from the SH article and it really resonated with me cause my late dad was a huge Mercedes and AMG fanatic. Suppose the fanaticism leaked to me as well because they are just beautiful. Great video man. Cheers from Indonesia🥂... btw, the wheels that were on the E 60 is a 3pc OZ Aero. We call them 3pc Aero in Indonesia and since the recent boom of pre-merger AMGs everywhere, they are really really super duper expensive in my country. But the odd thing is that there is no AMG emboss on the wheels and they usually have them...

As a Benz enthusiast, this hit close to home. I loved every AMG in this video. Thank you for sharing such a awesome shop 👏🏻🤙🏻

amazing to see; thank you for capturing & sharing this bro 🥂

Heaven indeed. More power to you friend.

Big follower here from your work at Speedhunters. Liking your new venture and looking forward for what's coming. PS: I worked for Nissan for 9 yrs in UK and spent many weeks and months in Japan, last time was in 2020 and miss it already. Love the country, the people and for a car nurd is a Temple of automotive culture.

Timeless Luxury good stuff never goes out of style

You rock Dino,big fan of your Speedhunter work.Thanks.😎👍

Nothing like the benz vibe. Amazingly crafted vehicles and love my 3 different black series. True beast meets luxury cars.

Sublime…I have a 1996 R129 SL500 imported from Osaka in 2021 with just 4,000 miles from new. The Japanese market really knows how to look after their MB’s.

that shop is a heaven on earth

This was great! Would absolutely love to see more of this.

Thank you for posting this video!

Great little find mate. You see these awesome shops in strange places and I can miss them so easily just driving about your daily business.. Looking forward to seeing more of this awesome content mate 🇦🇺

Love the style of the video! Would love to see more such content!! ❤️

It would be cool a Spoting video, I love the posts you make spotting in SH.

I've been seeing your photos and reading your articles for years Dino ( A decade even? ), glad to see you have a channel going happy to keep supporting.

Really cool footage! Thanks to you and the people from JAuto it’s almost like seeing these cars back in the day in high quality when they were new….and they still pretty much are like new.

How awesome. I was living in Setagaya when I got my first W140 and shot my videos in the area. Nice video

7:14 I'm very fortunate in that I don't have to imagine the sound. The stock exhaust is actually whisper quiet at low RPM or idle. It may be a muscle car, but it's a Mercedes first. However, put your foot down and it roars - and it's almost entirely induction noise, not exhaust. Some owners go with a custom exhaust, but most keep it stock, at most adding AMG tips. Enjoyed the video, always a treat to see what our Japanese friends are up to when it comes to old Mercs.

I loved that video. W124 is my favorite chassis.

I’ve got a W124 wagon and pass this shop all the time. Thanks for the tour! Kanpachi dori is the best for cool car dealers!

ive had many w124s my nicest was 90 300ce 24v with full amg package so this hit home.!

This is actually a gem of the gems video. Thank you my friend for taking time for making this video this is as rare a video as the cars!

Amazing cars. So many old school AMGs japan

i just found this channel and im loving it!

Incredible, thanks for the tour!

Okay Dino I didn't know you had a channel. Been following your work since 2005. So stoked, man. Can't wait to see more!

Yes, did enjoy it - thanks!

those are absolutely beautiful!

Loved it, thanks for sharing :)

So nice cars! Next time i have to visit this shop too

Great video my friend . The channel definitely deserves more love . Keep ‘em coming Dino . Best wishes all the way from India.

Gotta check this shop next time I'm in Tokyo!

Thanks for making this video. I love w124's.

Great video, thanks for posting! Beautiful examples 👌

great cinematography

Finally the video I have been looking for all about Japan & Mercedes-Benz

Shop was sick 🔥. Loved the angles you shot the cars.

ive just been inspired ...seriously inspired ..!!i will get one for myself soon ..

Thanks for sharing mate, those cars and causing goosebumps, mind boggling!!! Japan in on my bucket list and that shop already included watching your video.

love these old boxy amgs

Really like the video and the way u made is simple and awesome.. thanks

Great video! Fantastic insight into this world. I'm sure your channel will blow

Shout out from Miami. Thank you for the video W124 is one of the best chassis MB ever produced for the driver

love love love those 124s

Love the video! Can't wait to see more of your content. Hope you do a video about the Jimny's in Tsukuba 😉

Gorgeous cars! I own W124, '92 300E 4 Matic for the last 25 years. Thanks for sharing. Maybe next time when I visit Japan, I might visit

90's, Glorious Time for Automobile, AMG, YANASE and Japan.

Amazing content, keep up the videos!!

Thanks for the video, appreciate your style!

Super dope video. I used to have a 260E. I currently drive a Gl450 and a C300. I love those old w124’s tho. Thinking about picking up a 300E soon. Keep doing it. I just found your videos and really enjoyed them.

That E60!!! and gotta admit AMG Block wheels are some of the best looking wheels ever made but as you said they really suit the W124 chassis

Great to see another video so soon Square Mercs FTW

Love the video and the cars. I am fortunate to have a couple of cars but as a daily I have a 2001 E55 wagon which I love. I got bored of all the new cars out there and went into the past a little bit to see if such a car could be used as my daily driver. Happy to report it very much can!

Here in Ireland they love their JAPANESE cars, my best mate has a 1992 MR2 & also an SUBARU. they're his pride and joy. On a side note I love your ATARI top, I've a few ATARI hoodies & T Shirts. I was a child of the 80's so I had back in the day the ATARI 7800 which was an upgrade of the 2600.

Bro watching these beauties is very satisfying

The shop looks very beautiful, I might visit there when I go to Japan.

U R A KOOL DUDE. I IMMEDIATELY ACKNOWLEDGED UR PURE SPIRIT & HUMBLE SOUL. BIG UP ☝

Dino the GOAT.

thank you very much for this video lovers of the classics

Great video. The pre merger AMG stuff is so intriguing. They combined everything into one car. Speed/Performance/Tuning/Style/Comfort/Luxury. I got a 95 E320 Coupe. And i love it. Curious, what camera are you shooting with. Great video

Thank you for this. great video.

The door mirrors on the 124 and 201 Mercedes were not the same size from factory, one was square and the other rectangular. I think the longer one was the perspective type (objects in this mirror appear closer than they actually are) and the square was just an ordinary mirror, however I'm not sure.

masterpiece

Great footage Dino…another old mercedes tuner/workshop you have to visit in Adachi,Tokyo… 5sense…they are specialist in w123 chasis…

very nice bro, funny how the camera was trying to adjusting as you were getting a close up on that off colored grey-purp defnite unicorn, took me back to 06 when I had a white 88' 300e....btw @10:15 the side mirrors are always that size on the passenger side....

Hello dear sir Dino, I were glad to see this video, I big fan of Old school Mercedes especially Model W140 600S. I believe one day you will film about particular this model.

This is so fire, didn't know you had a youtube channel. I follow you on IG but i barely use the app so i hadn't seen your posts about it. The videography is top notch, keep em coming. I'd personally love it if you could also capture the human perspective since you probs know the language, maybe just a short comment on who frequents the shop, how's the business doing, how it's changed since the 90s, maybe they have some old pictures in the back of the shop or some story to tell about the current lineup, etc. Not always feasible and they're probably in working hours so maybe it's just polite not to interrupt them, but if it's possible it'd be a great addition to the already great videos.

Wow all my favorite cars are that’s on my wish list to own 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Great video man❤️ don’t focus on the hate keep pushing

OMG literally heaven 🤯🤯😱😱😳😳😍😍😍

Simply AWESOME.

The condition these are in is wild, mine and my parts car were nowhere near this well kept by the previous owners but this is the dream

Those are gems 💎 ❤

Great vid, love these cars, regarding the wing mirror, most come with a long mirror on the driver's side and a shorter more vertical mirror on the passenger side, it's not an either/or option as a pair

this place is dope, thanks for making this

That purplish grey is Bornite Metallic(Code 481) one of the prettiest the 124s were delivered in.
