Decent honest 212 with interior other than black!

As you say John, high-ish Miles.
I’m not too sure about that colour personally. It seems neither blue nor grey and a bit “weak”, but things do look different in person. :D

I quite like that, most certainly the interior is right :)

Looks like a decent spec especially with the 9 spd gearbox
Hmmmm, hadn't spotted that, not convinced the 212 ever had the 9G, I thought that only came with the 213?

I think the 9spd box came in towards the end of 212 facelift production only on the bigger engined cars probably to help sales so circa 2015/16

Yes agreed John definitely a good buy - the OM642 doesn’t seem to suffer from the NOx sensor problems that the OM651 engines seem to be plagued with - the jury is still out on the Adblue injection system reliability but to date that seems fairly robust

Yes this is true. I have a late 212, E350, and it has a 9 speed box
