    Whoever picked the music for this episode deserves a bonus. I found myself read, rereading, and reading again the description for music links despite that 500SEC being one of my favorite body designs of all time. Love that car, but this sound track is distractingly good.

    I mostly walk when I'm in Manhattan but always loved driving there. You go with the flow. The best drivers' signal all their moves, take every opening that moves them ahead of the other guy but never cut anyone off. Its a subtle aggressive style of taking what you can without sticking it to the other guy. When you see it done right its a thing of beauty.

    Fantastic car, one of my absolute favourites, and I happen to own a 1984 500SEC. But what a video! The story telling, just by the filming in daylight and at night, superbly shot. And then Magnus Walker telling a brilliant story about the car and the people who owned one. And epic music to it. This is one of the greatest car reviews ever done. Even the best Top Gear ones have a hard time competing with this one. As others have said, this is art! It is already a legendary car review in my book!

  • @SteveLowtwait

    The W126 is a wonderful chassis and the SEC (C for coupe) brings the gigantic size of the sedan down a notch which makes it look more sporty. But the S-Class isn't about sportiness, it's about luxury and comfort. I daily drive a W116 (the preceding chassis) and it's great to see the large old Mercs getting some love from Magnus and Hagerty.

They also built an incredible custom house and had a child during the time they were married. He was the number 1 half mile oval racer and rode a Harley Davidson.

    As a kid in northern NewJersey I worked one summer part time as a valet. There were a few of them around. But only ever saw the wide body SEC in Miami. The SEL was way more common even in AMG spec. That being said, this series is highlighting cars that I have owned and adored. ( none more then the XJS) And would rather that then the SEC. it’s more timeless, graceful and rewarding.
