This Merc has been parked like this for at least 4 years.
Google streetview shows it first appearing in 2012 but I'm sure it's been there a good year or two before that.
I can't really tell from the images, but I think it's a230 or 280 - not a classic I know, but certainly being left to die!
EDIT: Just managed to zoom in on one of the older images - it's a lowly 220CE

I've been watching that slowly rot on a weekly basis for a number of years, I believe it is owned by a local Pole. Given its location I'm surprised it hasn't been trashed or torched yet.Google streetview shows it first appearing in 2012 but I'm sure it's been there a good year or two before that.

Sorry to be a total nerd but that's a 230CE. The 220 would be the facelift with the white indicators and flush rear number plate section (plus it would be an E220, not a 220CE).... As you were!This is the streetview URL
Grrrrrr. You're right. Either there's some badge bodge going on or I need to check my nerd stats...
Edit: checked Wiki. The 2.2 220 came with the facelift and was badged E220, even on the coupe. Yet checked google images and there are plenty of pre facelift coupe's with the 2.2 engine badged 220 CE's.... I'm confused.com.

"barn find"
"Things that annoy you beyond reason" There's a guy selling motorbikes on eBay, he must have about 50 for sale, all photographed outside his premises, every one is apparently a "barn find". I keep meaning to ask him for pictures of where they were found….
