Mercedes E220 - Shedtastic
Discussion
Well I think I have a problem. This year has resulted in a new car each month, without fail, and April does not disappoint.
April's shed is the following
1995 W124 E220 Saloon
88k
1 Female Owner
Full MBSH
Tax and MOT Till August
£200!! Thats right! And it had a full bloody tank!!
The alloys need tidying, it needs a good polish, but apart from that it all works, even the AC.
Pics, oh go on then;
And then with her Stablemate for Daily Duties, the Scenic. Range Rover, Landrover, Boat and Caravan all tucked away on the farm - lack of space!!

It has a spec, less than the size of a Rice Crispie on one arch. Thats it!! Drives smooth as silk, its lovely.
It came in PX at my dads garage. He called me and asked if I would be interested in a check 90's merc. I said yes. I got home, found the keys through my door, and the V5. Thats when I first found out what it was. Got a lift 20 miles to his garage, it was outside, got in, and bought it home, about half hour ago! Sits at 80 very nicely!

That's cheating! 
Very jealous - would love a runabout like that!

Well its Sunday Service at MB World tomorrow. So I thought I would clean the ol beast up. She is now 800 miles under the belt, not an ounce of oil used, and motoring so smooth. 35mpg is where it has settled too!
Only problem is, which one do I take tomorrow??
The 220 will still be here in 10 years time, is better built, looks better, is the more premium product, and the more interesting car - but that engine in the 55'.

It sounds like there will be a W124 contingent at the SS, I'm annoyed I can't join them. Some guys from the 1-5 barge thread are going - perhaps meet them!

Bring this tomorrow! I see you took the headlight protectors off as well, looks a lot cleaner.
Yup, I put the light protectors in the boot, along with the fully stamped service book, loads of reciepts, and the lady's pad. An accesory I believe to stop high heels damaging the carpet mats! This car had everything with it.Ill bring the W124 then, I love it. Had to loose some tread on the 55 tonight though

I owe my dad a fair bit, but then I help him out an aweful lot too!!
Lets just say, my fleet at current owes me a lot less than friends cars, that includes boat, cars, caravan etc. And yet, they all prefer mine! Crazy folk!
Of course... it's a W124 after all Lets just say, my fleet at current owes me a lot less than friends cars, that includes boat, cars, caravan etc. And yet, they all prefer mine! Crazy folk!
I bet the list price of that car plus inflation buys rather a lot of mercedes nowadays!
