I remember seeing this car at pinewood studios. We would leave the workshop just to go see it, often parked outside the main admin building. Love the videos JS.
@@TheLateBrakeShow Thank you for the name. I spent 15 minutes googling around, just to find that The Producer is uncredited for that particular movie 😀 Fun times 🙂
This is an absolutely brilliant "barn find." I watched the original video with Nev's collection, and loved it. The idea that he then told you about a neglected 1985 500SEC Hammer sitting in another barn as an afterthought is mind boggling. I was totally cheering when you guys got the monster started. A triumphant barn find video is always pleasing. But to have a rare 32 valve AMG V8 come to life after sitting for 17 years is flipping AMAZING. I love your work mate.
I like how Neville is just a voice in this. It could be a portrayal of a scene that only exists in Johnnys imagination, only he's forgotten to imagine the other person as a physical being, just the conversation he would be having.
In my 20’s I had a cosworth 190 and had the same pioneer wooden stereo with the remote !!! Wow… Memories … and of course I now regret not holding onto that car 🤣
Great work Jonny. Especially when you didn't plan it. You two should have gone down the Pub in it. Holding on to the petrol can obviously. Awesome 💪💪😎😎👍👍
Oh, how many people on here were on here going "Come on...! COME ON!" Every time that ignition key was twisted...? That was worth all the "wrong" exhaust smoke in the world. Jonny... Nev... well done both of you.
when the engine started to run and kept running under its own power, you should have played the song "Yello - race" from the car stereo, so the car is ready to rock and ready to go 🏁 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
My god, what a beauty. What a master piece from Amg. This is truly, one of my dream cars. I really hope one day, I’d be able to own one or at least drive it. Great video, mate. Cheers to everyone from Mexico.
Amazing, a rollercoaster of emotion waiting for that famous V8 to roar into action. Curated Cars will be all over this Hammer no doubt! Neville’s voice reminds me of a famous British Actor for some reason.
I used to regularly cycle into Wilmslow as a teenager to check out Strattons when it was in the centre of town. Ian Anthoney, the Porsche dealer were just down the road as well. Heaven for a car nut.
Fantastic to see it start after so many years. Stunning classic Mercedes. Glad he never broke this up for parts. Lol on 80's alarms. Bets today's car alarms.
"What’s your favourite scary movie Cindy?" I knew I’d heard his voice before 🤣😝😝 Great video. Love the music you put on these videos. Always very fitting 👍🏼
Bloody brilliant video Johnny and Neville, rhe can of hope to the rescue. What a great looking Merc and love the colour of it. Its been puzzling me who Neville sounds like.... Toby Jones Maybe??
Brilliant episode Jonny. Just a tip with those old fuel injection systems. They need purging when they've been sitting. The fuel would've evaporated and it would have been full of air. So, it takes a while for the car to suck through the fuel and purge all the air pockets. Some times it takes quite a while. You're probably lucky all the o rings in that old Bosch system are still ok. Old diesels have a hand pump so you can prime them manually. The can of hope effectively helped you do the same thing but the injector distributor pump needs to be spinning for it to be really effective. Hence, you need the engine spinning over. Putting a bit of fuel into the engine and getting it to run and suck for a bit did the job . Well done. That can of hope is a real problem solver.
I did an 88 Saab 900 recently. When i first got it going it would take anywhere up to 10 starts before it would stay running an idle nice. It got gradually better each day and eventually after about a week it would start up and idle smooth first turn of the key.
I like how Neville is ready to quit trying and then continues to crank on her believing full well she's going to start up. I'll be honest I didn't think this fuel injection system was going to work so readily. Kudos to the whole team, Jonny, Neville and Roadhouse Blues.
I must say some of these barns are really interesting nice wood. A Neville is interesting. Why is he off camera? he and Johnny are heroes like this sacrifice their lives to get that beast running. Wow, she's a beauty with history. It just need a good clinghamclean n polish up. Not mad on German cars but the old stuff I love cuz I grew up through that. Some guys took me out and I think it was a 190 white body kit. Once was nice.
Neville and Johnny, please please clean the furl tank and fit new fuel pumps (2 required), fuel filter and and accumulator and do another episode of this beautiful beast running and driving. Please 🙏🏿
That flashing LED for the immobiliser has two metal contacts below it… it’s been years since I encountered one of those, but there was a black cone shaped fob that you touched on those to activate/deactivate those.
I drove one of those in Manhattan in 1988, it belonged to my boss's son (Kuwaiti) gold BBS rims, 18" so kinda rare, I was told to take it for a spin, managed to kerb it merging onto the interstate and limped it to a gas station, suffice to say, spare would not fit and no one had a new tyre in that size, left the car with the gas station, took a cab back up town. Last I saw of it. Some say, it''s still there.
Knowing its an old Mercedes I'd be surprised if it wasn't easy to get back up and running. My dad's c124 sat outside for a year and a new battery and it started just fine
I really really want an 80/90's Miami Vice meets Yakuza V8/V12 coupe. This one is the king. but by the time I have the funds the Patina boys would of bought them all I ghuess 😀
"The Fleece is On" - as featured in Beverly Hills Cop. A film which featured a 500SEL :)
That was a 560SEL. They didn't offer the 500 SEL officially in the US, only as grey import Euro spec cars.

He's like a voiceover from a 1970s American cop TV show.

Dunno why this one got me all emotional. Love it. Keep up the great work Johnny. Neville... What a legend
Great work Jonny. Especially when you didn't plan it. You two should have gone down the Pub in it. Holding on to the petrol can obviously. Awesome 💪💪😎😎👍👍
I had a massive smile on my face when you made it work! Fantastic car!
American collectors lose their minds over those! Ed Bolian made a big deal of one recently. Cool car, fast in it’s day.
Neville sounds like my spirit animal. What a legend.
Nev is every man's spirit animal!
That smoky shed, lit up in the dark was cinematic perfection.
We knew it might make a good film, but the night time fettling did make it feel extra special in the end.
80's piece of history !, full recomission please 👏🏽
I had that Pioneer head unit in about 99/00 I think. It was a flip front with a removable faceplate
That color. When you opened the door, just jaw dropping. Beautiful.
Stonking! These modified Mercs of this era were mad. Neville, you have to get this one back on the road. Please, please, please.
I am so glad I have joined this channel. Love this car, well done!!! What an epic video. Keep it up Pervy
Another great episode. I really enjoy 'The Late Break Show'. A truly class act. Please keep these episodes coming Johnny. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Tim, and all the best mate.
Crumbs, what an AMG expert! Plus matching the background music to the age of the barnfind. Groovy😊
Oh, how many people on here were on here going "Come on...! COME ON!" Every time that ignition key was twisted...? That was worth all the "wrong" exhaust smoke in the world. Jonny... Nev... well done both of you.
CC 77 - is currently on a 2013, 5.4l White Merc Benz, and is currently taxed
Jonny: "We've been scuppered by this little key fob." Neville: "Bastard." Classic. Top notch stuff. Thanks.
The joy when it fired, then ran... Wholesome, and I felt the same way
Great watch , Thanks for sharing Neville and i hope you get to enjoy her soon 👍👍
Having all those cars, and not driving or actually keeping them running clean and useable is actually criminal
There's probably many variations to define a petrolhead, but on every dictionary's variation, should be a pic of you. Best car channel on youtube.

Pure Gold! Come on Nev get it restored, best car in the collection!

It's amazing how that LED shop light still works after all those years.
..... and the car started... for a change.. MIRACLE!!!!
I adore Merc's and BMW's from the 80's and 90's. What a beast
All hail the "Can of Hope" !! Beautiful engine. 😍
Iv never wanted to wash and polish a car as much in my life
A true HERO car from the 80's. Nice kept secret car to own.
Nothing better than an old AMG to bring fond memories of Miami Vice and 80s uber cool. Long live the Hammer!
Jonny is quickly becoming as legendary as that car. What a guy, what amazing content!
So cool. Good dedication to the cause. I have driven a standard non amg one of these and can confirm they are epic things with huge torque. I love it.
What a gorgeous car and the colour wow!
All those 80's Bosch injection systems needed at least 5 bar of fuel pressure to run, so that's impressive that it ran at all.
That’s insane and I’m smiling like a cat. Mmmmmm that sound
Yes Jonny!!! Bloody loved this barn find episode 👏
One of my most favourite looking cars.
time for a cuppa tea, we'll done 😮😊
Hi Jonny, the K-Jetronic system requires at least 5 bar fuel pressure
Hahahaha love how you want him to turn it off at the end but he just keeps going and going
How could ya hate on Johnny brilliant channel
Sounded absolutely gorgeous
I just love these episodes Jonny, great work and keep it up
Jeez, Jonny. I have wanted one of these for donkeys years.
Such a rarity.
This car needs to be on the road for others to enjoy.
You need to start caring a jar of anti-seize, to put on the threads of the spark plugs when you put them back into the engine. Great video.
Maybe, I just use a bit of copper slip
That creek just after you pulled the door handle, damn that’s a 100% Mercedes sound! 😂
Fantastic to see it start after so many years. Stunning classic Mercedes. Glad he never broke this up for parts. Lol on 80's alarms. Bets today's car alarms.

Great video. Love the music you put on these videos. Always very fitting 👍🏼
Jonny could start an old AMG outside my house with a broken exhaust if I wasn't liking and subscribed 😂😂😂
One of the greatest coup'e 500 and 560 AMG sec beautiful from the eighties still going up in price
Bloody brilliant video Johnny and Neville, rhe can of hope to the rescue.
What a great looking Merc and love the colour of it.
Its been puzzling me who Neville sounds like.... Toby Jones Maybe??
this car REALLY needs to be put back on the road! what a machine!!
Love a Swayze reference ❤
Roadhouse 👌🏽
Brilliant Video guys really good fault finding. 👍🏼
As a kid I drew cars, sent some drawings including one of them sec amgs . They sent me a keyring and other bits !!
Love hearing memories like this. It is those kind freebies from dealers and brands that often begin this journey into car obsession.
So many hints about being completely smoked out, poor dude was almost asphyxiated as the owner bailed out of the shed leaving the engine running.
Can't stop falling in love by WOLFCLUB, hurrah!
Fantastic video Jonny. ❤
Smoothie and largar chaser aha love it! What a great car, and excellent surprise video.
AMG Benz are worth a Fortune right now.And the Prices are still rising high!!!!

The only part of the injection system that moves other than the electric pumps is the load valve worked by the flap in the metering unit.
I did an 88 Saab 900 recently. When i first got it going it would take anywhere up to 10 starts before it would stay running an idle nice. It got gradually better each day and eventually after about a week it would start up and idle smooth first turn of the key.
Great video. Lovely car! I have a 1987 420SEL in the same colour with similar mileage in a semi-barn find state awaiting full restoration.
Neville is the type bloke I could sit in a pub have some cold ones and just talk cars 🍺🍺😎
Well.done for the perseverance! I bet that would run lovely now she has be woken up.... what an 80's weapon!
I like how Neville is ready to quit trying and then continues to crank on her believing full well she's going to start up. I'll be honest I didn't think this fuel injection system was going to work so readily. Kudos to the whole team, Jonny, Neville and Roadhouse Blues.
Great video Jonny.
Neville's voice sounds very very familiar. Like he was on the TV back in the day, maybe that's why he's not on camera.
I love these ! Fair play Jonny you never give up top man ! Very enjoyable too !
Wow what a find, you cant get much cooler than an old school AMG, especially this one!!
I must say some of these barns are really interesting nice wood. A Neville is interesting. Why is he off camera? he and Johnny are heroes like this sacrifice their lives to get that beast running.

Fantastic barn find.
I’m surprised the Patina Collective haven’t bee on the phone already to buy them all.
If you haven’t watched them on RUclips you should.
Neville knows them...

Please 🙏🏿
That flashing LED for the immobiliser has two metal contacts below it… it’s been years since I encountered one of those, but there was a black cone shaped fob that you touched on those to activate/deactivate those.
The fob has a resistor and that must match to activate the circuit
I'm guessing they worked that out when Johnny asked what did you do and Neville said don't worry about it.
Well done!
best barn find yet, great job
As I watch this video at 4 months old CC77 is on a brand new registered on 28/7/23 E class Mercedes.
Damnit Jonny i was just about to go to sleep!
Sorry (not sorry)
Wow. I love that

Really? I hope the car didn't get stolen. What became of it?
This is my journey soon. My '89 w126, in nautic blue, has been sleeping for a few years.
Battey tray always rust. And its quite fiddy getting the huge battery past the windscreen wash tank.
Can’t believe they’ve let that absolute beauty there no cover or anything 😢😢I’d have that cleaned up and looking pristine straight away
That’s a beautiful and sexy AMG SEC.
I can’t put my finger on it but Neville is giving me strong Fred Dibnah vibes lol
From an era When Mercedes actually made good looking cars. What a stunning thing.
It looks like the sun never comes out on that side of the world
Knowing its an old Mercedes I'd be surprised if it wasn't easy to get back up and running. My dad's c124 sat outside for a year and a new battery and it started just fine
Glad that it isn't just me that can't see one of these without referencing 'road house' 😂
I had that head unit, in a later c124 it cost me £250 used, was 699 new
I really really want an 80/90's Miami Vice meets Yakuza V8/V12 coupe. This one is the king. but by the time I have the funds the Patina boys would of bought them all I ghuess 😀
I hope you've sampled Neville's wonderful voice for Sniff Petrol's future album.
Not many people would have a 2032 cell, or even 2 or 3 just lying around. Well done, Neville.
