"Reichsmarschall Göring has arrived." Captain Slow is on point as always. 😊

Jeremy: "And see these?" James: "Curtains?" Jeremy: "Yes! Does your car have these?" James: "No, they go in caravans!" Jeremy: *visibly shaken*

'' Handbuild just means the doors is gonna fall off! '' has to be one of the best things Jeremy ever said.

That feigned kick after mocking Jeremy about the boot lid, such a bloke thing to do 😂😂😂

I gotta say, that Mercedes is actually pretty decent even for today's standards.

My goodness, how well the Merc goes through that handling test, amazing.

0:12 I do appreciate the... Background choices Top Gear made for this episode.

"What I always found really difficult is this" (shuts the trunk) ROFL

“That’s brilliant actually. I have to concede that, because what I’ve always found really difficult is this.” *Proceeds to open trunk and close it one handed*

0:54 "Reichsmarschall Göring has arrived... Morgen!"

'Now, I should stress that what we've got coming up now isn't the usual Top Gear cheap car challenge, because these really are their cars, those stupid tw...' *cuts to video* Pure gold.

1:56 LOL! James' sarcasm is so priceless!

3:35 James: As you can see, the stig is currently driving a 1.1 litre Hyundai "Ai-E-Yo" Jeremy: It's an i-TEN

“Some say that’s his own car” That’s way funnier than it should be

6:49 *Gibberish* Argh, I've got Ebola.

Over a decade later this is still one of the best segments in broadcast television history.

This has to be one of the best features ever. The cars, the jokes, the editing, this is just peak Top Gear.

The real difference between those vehicles is what happens after 6:50 . The Merc does the speed with flawless stability, a few fingers on the wheel are enough. That is due to the ammount of actual engineering that went into this car, apart from leather and shiny chrome. That basically is the real strenght of this car - going seriosly fast for hours and still providing an absolutely smooth, undisturbed ride. Although the behaivour of the Rolls can be amplified by bad maintenance, the Mercs of that time are pretty much the closet thing to travelling by plane.

The Grosser prices vary IMMENSELY as of 2019. $50K-$500K. The Corniches are much cheaper at $30K-$180K.

What did Hammond say at the start? I was somewhat distracted.

oh man, the sound of the booth latch at 2:06 , quality!

1:27 just another way of saying the door will fall off, amazing! i miss these guys!

The first two minutes of this clip is easily one of the most legendary Top Gear moments ever. So many fantastic quotes.

When I looked at a 1972 Ford Zephyr it honestly does look like the Corniche. I totally agree with Jeremy saying it's "a Ford Zephyr with a chrome nose." See for yourselves.

That Mercedes actually handles amazingly and has features that even $60k cars today don't have

Even just this, two old cars and Clarkson and May arguing, was interesting. They really just had something that can’t be replicated.

The best part of this for me, was always the click of the Royce's boot latch when May closed it oh so gently. That alone makes up for all of the Green Grosser's toys.

That Rolls Royce trunk closing is so satisfying to hear

The Grosser did look pretty good at the agility test especially for a car that weighs 2.8t

That Merc looks badass.

2:10 I love the attempt of James to kick Jeremy descedence

Man, that Rolls is a thing of absolute beauty.

I would love to have that Grosser, it would be a perfect long road-trip car with its nearly three ton weight and air suspension, a thousand miles a day, no problem.

0:55 "Reich Marshall Goring has arrived" Hahahaha

Hammonds right shoulder 00:01 absolute 10/10

LOL 7:22 "Children come out of the womb faster than that"

The grosser, by far the best looking classic car ever made. I even have the wife’s approval. I might one day be daft enough and buy one.

"Curtains. No, they go in caravans." The way Jeremy straightens and looks at James for that comment. Gauntlet Thrown Down.

"children come out of the womb faster than that." - Jeremy clarkson.

6:47 Jeremy: ''I've got ebola''

1:59 Jeremy's face always cracks me up its like "the contest is over I just won" ;D

I love how these challenges will never apply to the average person. Think about it, how often do you see someone driving one of these cars. These guys are completely illogical, but that's why love them.

4:00 "if this car had a monocle it would fall out now" lol

"Ah, the Reichsmarshall Goering has arrived!" - I'm dead.

The Merc is certainly the better car - but the 600 is the single Mercedes ever built that would scare me financially. Every single part of this car that is connected to the hydraulics (and nearly every part is) is hideously overpriced - so it's no wonder that Clarkson paid the price of a new Golf for a service. Jay Leno mentioned a current market price of more than 1.000 $ for a door handle! So even here in Germany where you have a fairly good infrastructure of Mercedes experts at your hand, I'd rather go for the Rolls.

I believe I saw a Grosser on the roads of Singapore about a month ago. The fact that it's a 1960s car makes it look as eye-catching as the two Lamborghini Gallardos I saw two weeks back, simply because it stands out among every other car made today.

I like how Jeremy's shoes is green-colored just to fit the color of the car.

My parents had a Mercedes like that in the 60's. I remember that thing was a boat. We lived in New York City and would take it to the Hamptons on the weekends to our summer home. I never knew it was so expensive or I would have felt worse about getting car sick all those times. Woops.

2:00 this is what makes top gear amazing

3:43 "some say that's his own car" LOL.

Classic James May at 5:27.

"As you can see the stig is driving a Hyundai 1.1 liter I ee oh, it's an i10" lol

I'd take that Mercedes any day.

I love the pose Jeremy makes when he presses the button to make the boot go down.

2:09 only true friends do stuff like this, these 2 are just hilarious 😂

What an amazing pair.... of cars, not the background in the studio, clearly! Absolutely!

One of the best segments out of some of the classical Top gear challenges.

I think they're both utterly magnificent. I couldn't choose between them. I'll have them both please.

5:20 Ohhhh that cooling fan hahahaha

1:36 "It just sounds like a plumbers convention" Hahaha. Funny line 😄.

That merc is damn nice though.

"If this car had a monocle, it would fall out now."-May Absolutely beautiful.

I have watched this 100 times still love it every time.

I liked the couple of air bags behind hamond at the beginning 💯❤️

i love the sound from that v8 when may is slapping the pedal to the floor...

0:38 I love James' pronunciation of 'luggsury'

I love going back to this particular piece, cracks me up every time 🤣😂

Herr Göring 🤣 omg James you just made my day with that speedy response 😂

6:03 imagine if they forgot the handbrake still on

Man, look at the front end of that Rolls raise when he accelerated! What power!

0:01 , hey look at him not her

It's a green Grosser so the boot should be full of fruit & veg.

UK top gear is without a doubt the best and only real Top Gear programme IMO!

I love the top gear challenges! Keep them coming! :)

0:55 Reichsmarschall Goering has arrived. Morgen! 😂🤣😂🤣

This is probably my favorite segment in the history of top gear.

Lol Saddam Hussein had both, the Rolls and the Benz 600

Hammond should have been in a 1957-73 Chrysler Imperial for this.

These three are alot of fun ti watch.

Jeremy got Ebola before it was cool.

Supreme Mercedes. Always.

Can't believe this was ten years ago damn! And the girl behind Richard though damn!

"It didn't stop, and now it's on fire"

4:15 "HAHAHAHAHAHA" ......"cock..." 😂😂😂

I wanna see part 2 , Top Gear Good work :)) Keep the same way

6:57 - The song in the background is "Hands around my throat" by Death in Vegas

2:10 That subtle kick 😂😂

Although it had a lot of reliability problems, I'd like to know how a '56 Packard Clipper with torsion level suspension compares in ride in handling. It seems like a clever system that should have been trieed on more luxury cars and trucks.

Today, in this new episode of Top Gear... 6:49 ; I'll be sick. Hammond won't be here. 5:27 ; And James will say something important.

Nice set behind Hammond

Absolutely stunning cars

Jeremy: Hyundai i10 James: Hyundai IEO My dad: Hyundai I-Lo

Honestly I love the Grosser I love the Colour , look of the whole Car E.T.C Great buy Jeremy!

May's the king of sarcasm and quick rebuttles.

The Rolls can be driven but the giant Merc is meant to be driven in. Fantastically ridiculous cars.

All those hydraulic parts sound like nothing but a mechanical and electrical nightmare 😂

James May: it wasn't 😂 4:54 7:13

Love the mercs

I enjoy watching them. Top gear and now grand tour

That Mercedes is magnificent.
