I wouldn’t call 115k miles low mileage. Sure it’s less than 240k but not like some W124’s found that have less than 60k or even 30k on them. Those generally look like they came out of a museum. Not sure how well they’re mechanically though

What a beautiful car, the color is perfect against the chrome and the black details. Here in Sweden, you still see a few Volvos from the 140 series in everyday use. Also from the 240 series. Volvo's quality from that time is perfect. I myself drive a W123 on a daily basis. Thanks for a great movie!

Looks great!

Cool!

Beautiful! Do you find that the mud flaps do a good job of keeping the well clean?

Amazing! Simple! Intelligent, with great lines, and built to last. Love the manual windows, quarter windows for ventilation, and common sense stuff! The engine bay is great, you can actually get to something! I am looking for a new Mercedes, but this time NOT a daily driver. For that, I am also looking for something else like this as a daily driver.

Nice! Always liked the old Volvo, the new ones I can't even look at.

Excellent video and this is alarming, I understand the drain holes under the hood hinges, and the wheel wells, but how can a vehicle rust so badly like this??? You continue to mention "dirt and sand" May you or someone else clarify, I don't understand how dirt can create rust. Or do you mean that the dirt and sand contain salt residue? I understand wet dirt "mud" getting caked up in places and staying wet for too long, further the "mud" is what cakes up and dries, which clogs up the water channels designed to drain water out of the vehicle. If so I get that. Thanks

It's *beautiful* - especially compared to those overweight modern SUV monstrosities.

Looks great. Where was the respray done?

It's a great car.It's in finnish film MUSTAA VALKOISELLA in 1968 .Jörn Donner produktion .❤

Always preferred the 140 to the 240. Our local taxi firm had a fleet of smoky old Zephyrs, Victors etc. Then one Monday morning in around 1972 they were all swept away, replaced by a fleet of 140s in white with dark red seats - presumably an advantageous lease deal. Anyway they ran up huge mileages apparently with very little trouble. Taxi firm now uses Toyotas.

Interesting. I have a 1970 Volvo Amazon (B20A). This looks like mine just a different package. Even the speedometer, fuel gauge and thermometer are the same components - just the box around modified. I only have a single Stromberg though. I have the never butterfly steering wheel - believe they came in 1969.

17 L /100 km then 13 L what the ford company treat their customers. Even 9 L/100 km is much more for this too .

Great review , good old car.

Look's So Exquisite ❤

Nice bru

Looks fresh

Very nice! Looks as good as new. That is what you want to see when you pay for a full respray.

Looks great! Can'T wait to see it finished in the sunlight!

Car looks good. Put some Meguiars wax on it for protection every 2 months or so. Car will look fresh for many years to come.

Did these cars come with optional overdrive?

The original 144 with the small bumpers is a great looking car

Wow!

Very nice

Gorgeous colour , looks elegant and classy.

Okay, you got me beat on the beater car.

Drove and worked on them. Great cars. Safer as well.

If it still works it works.

Great video! 😊 Any 24-valve M104 road tests coming?

I don't keep spare parts, because I don't do my own work. However I enjoy having a spare car. On the rare occasions when one needs help, I needn't worry. I love older cars. My newer car is an '85, the older one is a '53. They bring me joy.

Had a 94 c220 in USA. My first Mercedes. Auto, electric windows, moon roof, cd with Bose stereo. I loved that car! Seeing this video warmed my heart.

I share your philosophy. No computers screens, lane asst, self driving etc in the cars I drive.

super cool tach

itll go another 52yrs im sure

Why would you not?

Mooi❤

How is the diesel one's

Grande carro , na África do sul , também existem restrições de circulação por motivos ambientais? Obrigado, saúde

Big kms/miles. But as Keyan says, those engines are good.

Amazing survivor! 😍😍 I learned to drive in a 4speed yellow 1973 Volvo station wagon/estate of this model,back in 1993,in Pennsylvania,USA. Loved the short gearstick,which is quite unusual for a 70s car,the clutch was heavy though,& not very linear,& it was not easy to find the biting point as a 16 year old new driver,until I got the hang of it! 🤣🤣

I grew up in the suburbs of New York City. In the 1970’s, those Volvos were everywhere.

These were jewels I wish if Kenyan tax regime allows such Imports

Where can I find this part?

Excellent car with a bombproof engine, Very easy to work on and last forever as long as it get cooling and some sort of oil. The breaker point however is very important to adjust right and a bit fiddly. But I love theese old redblocks.

Yes it’s very lovely! 1980’s Mercedes look good & are well built

You should be able to get 9-10 l/100km when tuned correctly. The Strombergs wear in the fixed jets.

Another great video Keyan. I must be getting old, because I love it! So much character.

Slight exhaust drone, I suspect the correct silencers are no longer available. Rebuilding and setting up the carbs should dramatically effect the consumption, although the non-standard exhaust system could also be contributing.

W123,W202 and W210 I'll go with the W210 anyday besides the W126
