popularity of Merc W123 Coupes in the capital

Anyone else noticed this?

I live in South London and I see them regularly with new ones popping up here and there as well. Having owned a couple myself, I can only think it's the old girl's build quality and reliability that have seen it through.

Long live the Beirut Taxi

Yep, I agree. I guess it timeless and classy, I see a lot in Surrey as well as SW London too.

I blame Garlick.

In the West End there seems to be a number of 250 SL's from the late 60's...all in good condition.

There are two of them on my street. The Both driven like they own the damn road (it's a little narrow lane, parked cars everywhere).

In the meantime I'll slum it in the 124
