Moving cars around today, figured I'd take a picture

I present, most of the fleet. Missing is a 420SEL and 300E.

I can only imagine what it takes to get all of the brake dust cleaned!

Great pictures (Although there is one car which does not match the others )

I think there are 2. There is a 124 and a 201 among the 126's.

Nope, only one of them doesn't have Euro lights

That is a good question. I'm not entirely sure. I'm pretty much just the caretaker of the cars right now. I just became fully employed so the 201 and 124 will be paid for by me soon here.

The 201 and 124 are mine but they are on the same policy as the two SDs and 420. The one SD is on 'storage insurance' as its a slowwww restoration project.

I dont think any of them have full up coverage. Last I was informed.

We do have set replacement values on them though. Whatever that means..

Originally the 201 was going to go into storage insurance as the 124 became my daily driver but the 124 encoutered some transmission problems so.. I think I'm just going to keep both active.

If I just drove by I would think that an African dictator had just rolled into town.

I was up to two 123's and a 114 for a while and I thought I had too many cars.

Smile You have exquisite taste!

and not just in cars, but in Mercedes Benz.

The w201, w124 and w126 were ALL engineered to a cost no object standard of build quaity, longevity, with far advanced safety technology compared to other cars of the time ; plus they remain mechanic friendly and easy to work on, parts still available, and they are all comfortable driver's cars, which, if well maintained, are quite capable of running to interstellar mileages.

And all of them are Bruno Sacco's ultimate design and styling masterpieces, beautiful and utterly unmistakeable for ANYHING other than a Mercedes Benz.

It looks like a sensational little car show put on by someone with taste, discernment and wisdom. Sacco would be proud of you.

*I* certainy am.
