You know a car was the absolute peak of luxury in it's day when even 20 years later it could still be legitimately called "well equipped"!

The silence when driving is blissful. It's crazy how bad many modern cars are when it comes to noise insulation.

This car was mind blowing in 1998, when it was revealed. Radar guided cruise control, massage seats, seat ventilation, keyless go. They were alien UFO technologies in 1998 😂

Hi matt, back in 2016 i retired as coach driver mainly in europe particularly Italy. I bought a 2005 s class and took my wife on a 3 week tour of Italy to show her where "i used to work" visiting the italian lakes and the Amalfi coast and Tuscany. 3000 miles in total and the car never flickered. Perfect.

I had this merc around 18 months ago and sold it with different set of alloys, bodywork had no rust that time. Enjoy not sticky buttons as I spent 3 hours cleaning them😃

I also love to see cars like this where someone has just specified exactly what they want with no regard to what anyone else thinks or the effect on resale value! I love the combination on this one, so much better than the usual silver or grey with black leather.

Wow, just wow. Definitely keep that car, Matt. Such a unique find. Never seen a 20 year old car in this good interior condition. Techwise not bad either. Give it the bodywork it needs (MB as it is) and you got yourself the dream weekend luxury car.

I bought one two years ago at an estate sale for $3, 500.00 US.
Mine has lower mileage, only 80, 000, and significantly less rust.
It has a 4.3L V8.
Everything works well and I use it as a dog taxi.
My dogs are German Shepherds imported from Germany and deserve to be driven around in a vehicle from das Vaterland!

Ideal car for your place in Spain? Low rust risk and mileage not an issue for your use there. All that cooling and massage in the seats might be appropriate. With full service history, just might be a keeper?

£1500!!!! What a bargain and absolute find. Amazing

Lovely car Matt. Great suggestion with the "lets brim it with diesel and see how far we can go"!! Love the interior and the seat colour works so well against the bodywork. What a luxurious car from back in the day.
This journey will be interesting.
Your audience awaits.
Regards.

I used to work for mercedes valeting these from new. Back in the day very luxury cars. Amazed how much they are now. The V12 was amazing. Still a lot of car for the money.
Excellent video as always 👍

matt: i’m not heavy handed

also matt: rips handle off boot floor

but full tank challenge sounds like a great idea

Isn't it odd that we rarely (ever?) see Matt meeting people - or engaging with society on screen? If this was a film, I'd say that the whole thing (the job, the company, the car buys etc) was all in his head or a dream!

Who else is in love with this era of luxury barge? I mean, I'm all for the Lexus LS, but I still have a soft-spot for the S-Class.. and especially the 7-Series from BMW. My favourite aspect is the elegant design of it all. Everything now is digitalized and very angular. This era is like high quality antique furniture

smithjohn

Great value Matt.
People are too quick to write these old 'Prestige cars' off'.
You could be unlucky, but given the service history, this car could have years of life in it yet.
The paint would bug me....I would have to get it done.

gordonsimpson

The local chauffeur company used by my work have one of these. It’s a ‘99 S320 petrol but is still used for airport runs all over the country. I’m always happy to be driven in the S Class.

alansorbie

I’ve have a 221 S550 Designo as my current daily driver, and it’s amazing how reliable these older S-Klasses are with proper servicing and care. You got yourself a beauty, Matt! Excited to see the road trip you take in this one 👍

TonySinatra

I remember these having the best transmission of all time. Silky smooth. They used to start off in 2nd gear for smoothness ... True luxury! These were kings cars back in the days, especially the S600L

13:30 that's an engine preheater. Usually you have a fob, where you can control it remotely, so it will preheat the oil and cabin on cold winter morning.
