Hello and welcome

Very nice to drive are the W210’s, just not many left now due to their propensity to rust :(

Yup I was pleasantly surprised to minimal rust,was a bit on front cross member under rad ,but cleaned off rust ,rub down and 2 coats of black hammerite smooth took care of it ,next service item is gearbox oil,filter and drain.but I must admit it's lovely to drive and a bit easier to service than my recently deceased Cadillac bls TD
