1970s Mercedes footage from Sindelfingen

An interesting watch, maybe the video's title should be "Manufacturing process by Hans" not hands...

I loved this video especially the end on the Travant 601. The guy kicking in the grill to fit and the other one bending the door and frame was hilarious

I was amazed at some of the stats related to MB cars with certain specs being exclusively for the NA market such as the turbo diesel engine for 12+ years.

Using a rubber mallet for fit and finishing was a thing when I visited the Jaguar factory in the mid 2000s.
