Hi, I'm Dermot, based in London normally but working in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia for the last few years.
I have a 1991 420SEL W126 now, which I am in the process of recommissioning with my mechanic friend.
I had a rare 1988 560SE W126 in the past for about 5 years as a daily driver (the best car I ever had, and the one I most regret selling) and an ex-James Bond movie baddy's 1986 420SE W126 from the car chase scene in Tomorrow Never Dies, which was a really great car too and which I also used as a daily driver for about 3 years in Greece before the 560SE. (It was the blue W126 that chased Bond up to the roof
)
Before those, I had a 1979 W116 280SEL. which was my daily driver for about another 5 years when I lived in Greece.
I love these cars and old Mercs generally. Great to be here on this amazing site.
