A lot of W123 Euro head lights available soon.

"According to Ran When Parked, there are about 55,000 W123 taxis operating in Morocco. The body style was built throughout the '70s and '80s with a variety of gasoline and diesel engines, and they earned a reputation for doing high miles with great reliability. The cab drivers like them because they can cram several people in and still fit on the crowded streets. To stop the stream of old Mercedes cabs, the country's government made it quite expensive to import vehicles more than five years old"

Forget euro headlights, I want euro bumpers!

I bet the cabs have a lot of bent bumpers.

With 55,000 bumpers, there must be at least a couple of good ones between them.

Meh, not going for perfect; my car is a "20-footer"

W123 good for jihad

When someone decides to blow up a car in the middle east it seems as if it is always a Mercedes. Perhaps there are just so many of them running around over there that they will not attract any attention?

You greatly over estimate the condition of the average Moroccan taxi.

oh no sir,

I know in very close detail the average morrocan taxi condition, the amount if just numbers, the actual usable bumpers would be 4 at maximum. Same for any other part.
