Jay Leno's M-100!
Leno shows his 1972 600 on the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. Very cool. Enjoy!

Such a beautiful car. The only modern equivalent to its disdain for build cost is the Bugatti Veyron.

I liked that Jay gave restorer Karl M. full credit and showcased his ingenuity, rather than presenting it as a shiny new item that has joined his collection of other shiny items.
I liked that supercharger + methanol/ water injection on a m-100 motor. |

Thank you very much for that. What a beautiful, beautiful car.

This is what can be done when money is no object....on the part of Mercedes in the first place and Jay Leno in the second place. I've always liked the fact that Jay sometimes discreetly modifies his cars "to taste". Unfortunately these cars were (and still are) beyond the reach of most Mercedes enthusiasts. On some level I suppose that exclusivity is as it should be.

The 2nd thing I do after winning the lottory is calling Karl and buying one of these. Right after I buy the house next door with the 4 yappy dogs and kick those folks out.

That is one magnificent machine!
It's nice to see Jay own one. He seems to be one of the very few people who can afford one and really appreciate he engineering that went into the vehicle, the craftsmanship of the technicians who built it, and the utter competence of Karl's work. What a great video. Thanks for sharing it. Dave |

Leno is a MB guy from way back. I'm more of a Letterman guy but I do respect Leno in his old age and he's out there doing some great stuff.

Really liked the enthusiasm he showed for wanting to doing another cross country trip in a 600 ... like the one he did about 45 years ago.

What a machine. The infamous 100, a must have for any dictator.
What's the deal with that methanol/water hook up in his trunk? What was he on about when he said it made engine run better?
