The fact that mine is silver is a slight pain in my side but you can’t have it all.
Funny, I always see silver as a proper colour for older Benzes, redolent of Silver Arrows, Moss/Jenks, early C126’s on wheeltrims and export zoll plates, etc.My lottery winning, Singer-esque resto mod S124 would be silver, pre Sacco, blue plaid/half leather, 500e running gear and steelies under wheeltrims.

Very nice.
But anyone referring to all 4 x 4's as a "Jeep" puts me off.
3 times is unforgivable.
Those of a certain age in Norn Iron call all 4x4s a jeep, presumably related to 300+k yanks stationed there during WW2 driving them and it leaving an impression.But anyone referring to all 4 x 4's as a "Jeep" puts me off.

That's also sitting on tarmac (NI version of an Englishman's gravel drive) and it is at a stand alone bungalow, which is a positive, if buying in the Province.

No doubt we are all familiar with this site, home of the Pueblo s124? https://www.e-arrows.jp They do G-wagens as well. The Rodeo Grey 124 is pretty natty, though.

Silver s124 reupholstered in the blue plaid cloth from the early r129 would be nice. I would have it on the bolsters as well.

For a couple of weeks now I have been cringing rather shamefacedly because we tend to call our G-wagen a jeep. But what is the alternative? Call it a "SUV"? call it a "4x4"? call it "the G"? These are all worse, surely? I seem to recall that Car magazine, back in the day when it wasn't very colourful toilet paper, called the then-new Range Rover an upmarket jeep or some such.

Silver undoubtedly is classic Merc: in the late-, great-1980s I seem to recall it was also ever-so sophisticated.

I see Chimaera in the rear wing profile.Nonetheless not unattractive but...
...what does it look like with the roof up?
Sweeping statement time:
Most convertibles are good looking with the roof down.
Few are acceptable with the roof raised.
1988 Mercedes Benz 230e W124... £3495.
A sensible ad, and some lovely "evening sun" photographs lead me to think this would be a good 'un.
