Most W202s have rusted away here. They were built during the time when water based paint was first tried out.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Hi!

Thanks for all those answers! I'm really new on this forum and already impressed! I hope that some time I'll also be able to help some fellows.

I've never sat in a w201 but already did in a w124 and it's the reason why I want a MB. Size seemed just right but I thought that the tighter package of the w201 could be a good bet.
However I'm now completely convinced that w124 is the way to go. A good inline-6 300D sedan, 5-speed manual, if possible produced between 1989-1993. Hope I'll find such a jewel in perfect condition, concerning wagons versions it would be a desperate quest as most of them in France have been used and abused.

kind regards an thanks!

Really nice. Well done.
Cheers,
Resmas
