This was my second company car and for the life of me I cannot remember the model, all I can recall is it had a v8 mill, cream leather and a mass of 'toys' went like the wind and was a real head turner - rather drive to Denmark and back every month to visit the factory than fly in a metal tube:cool:

The guy in the drivers seat was my sales director, who much preferred this to his S280 class:p never could understand that:rolleyes:

The first Merc was a straight six 280CE (1983ish) again another head turner and real quick.

So any ideas? I need the info for my life journal which will be a best seller and when in print I will be selling signed copies so get your name down now not to be missed - well perhaps a miss on this one might be a good idea;);)

Hi Dosco,
The car is an early w126 - either 380sec or 500sec. - Nice!

Thanks for this Duncan, not sure about the engine size but doubt I would have gone for the 500 although it was really fast and do recall the long autobahn runs in Germany bimbling along well above 100mph! :cool:
