My grandad had one of them.

Well, I say he had one. He got driven to his funeral in the back of one.

There's loads of vintage Mercs here in Dublin, but I don't think I've ever seen one quite like this.

I think it's an early W114/115

There’s a couple round my way, one in metallic gold and a duck-egg blue one. Both with the very stylish colour-matched hub caps. I’ve posted the gold one on here before.

Old Saab down the bottom of the hill. Plate colour is inauthentic and probably a private plate so might not reflect age of car.

That's a 1983 'A' registration so is probably right looking at that Saab.

I think the rules changed so that black plates can be used on cars up to 1980, so it's still wrong.

Nothing younger than a '71 ''K' reg. should have black plates. IMHO of course.
