These are awesome! If anyone visits Lebanon, a large amount of the taxis there (particularly outside of Beirut) are W115s/123s. It's always fun if you're into the old stuff

More.



I sold this 220SE to the Middle East, as well as a 200.


Europe's used Mercedes ended up migrating down to Morocco and spreading from there. Jordan is also known for its vintage Mercedes, and the king is still chauffeured around in them.

Nice pic's. Although I thought that the W140s with "bullet-proof glass" would be popular there. I didn't see any. We do have it pretty damn good here if you want to work for it.
