Here is a quite good video series on the W116. Four parts that goes into quite a bit of detail.

Couple of minor errors I noticed.
- Thin door panels not just for south africa
- 350s never came with the four speed auto, that had been discontinued by the time the W116 came about.
- Chrome trim on the wheel arches is not a factory item.

Overall a well done series.

and a bonus video of the W116 being built in the factory. /8 models were still being made, so must have been during the first half of production.

I enjoyed the first 3, the 4th one not so much. But it’s always good to see interest in the w116s!

It did seem odd that one of the 'owners' had bought his car to break up for parts to supply a W108.

Another good one, has the US basher bumpers but still a nice car:
