Interesting mb spotting

I saw two interesting Benzes today. First I saw a bright lemon yellow 107. And just a little while ago I spotted a petty blue 115 coupe.

Fun!

I also saw recently an ivory 123 which I have not seen before the other day. 123s on the road are becoming scarce around here!

Usually I see one or two new ones each fall when the students get back.

Getting rare to see any older ones locally. Except in the tourist season here In eastern Canada where a few are observed still being used for tourist trips passing through.

Go to Morocco, they are everywhere. I might bring some cars back from outside the US in a couple years.

There are still a ton of MB 170s in Turkey, along with old Rolls Royces.

Petty blue? Interesting color name.
