My 22 year old W124 E36 AMG just passed its MOT with no advisories.

Excuse for picture.

Well played!

I like that Merc, they certainly don't make them like that anymore sadly.

Excellent work. It felt like a bit of an achievement when I'd fettled my old E36 M3 to the point where it was consistently passing clear MoTs smile lovely old bus.

It does look to be a good one. I'd also like to see some more pictures!

I was about to say that these days I get a warm feeling when my daily driver passes the MOT, never mind my classics. Then I realised that as it's a 2000 car, it probably doesn't count as a "modern" any more.

Lovely Merc btw

I have just had a fail on a number plate light - can't believe I didn't spot that!
Passed second time with an advisory of tyres on my AX GTi which will be 25 years old in August but last year she passed with no advisories, good little bus smile

Lovely E36, stunning! Any inside shots pls?

The warm feeling is even warmer after you've spent years on a restoration, put it in and it passes first time.
