No doubt, these are absolutely beautiful cars, especially the ones with the individual back seats. I am sorry that the audio is non-English - I am not even certain what language, but I suspect Polish, Czech, Russki whatever. Can anyone pick the city ?

I like the video for reasons that I can see a little of the countryside, and also every day city traffic. Curious about one thing - left hand drive, quite obviously, but in sections they are overtaking on the inside lane - I thought that would have been an absolute "NO NO" overseas. Anyway, try and enkoy the video - they are both magnificent cars. Regards Styria

Good video Styria.

Accents do sound Polish not sure?

Good to see the guy eventually put some fuel in the SEC as the car was running on also most empty!

Anyone notice the light on the console that did not go out once the SEC?

Here you go a 1993 600SEC test driven by Clarkson.

Clarkson even has hair.

Clarkson's early days selling real estate as well in the video?

Hi Afro107, thanks for clarifying the source of the video. I did think that the deep slavic accent may have been influenced by a sliver of Vodka. Now to the mumbo jumbo region of the country - roughly whereabouts is the location - Leningrad, St. Petersburg, Volvograd ?:D Regards Styria

N.B. Apologies, try as I might, could not delete Moderator's post.

They said "here in Pormoscovje"... hence assumption that filming took place in greater Moscow regional area.

Russian is easy to distinguish, extra soft pronunciation and frequent use of the voice "ny" as in New.
Same for Belarus and Ukrainian but the rego plates are dead give away.
