What model is it?

you surely mean "what model WAS it"

 

[TeddyRuxpin]

Just looks like an e-class to me?

Or maybe it was a C257 CLS? I’m not sure CL owners drive like that.

A definite lesson on the risks of aquaplaning anyway.

S***, I'm surprised the forecourt didn't go up in flames.

Pretty sure it's one of these in this colour - filler cap NS so the person filling would have time to react I guess if they were there:

That's well-spotted if it is... I think I can just make out the rear door handle on one frame at 7s.

I wasn't 100% it was a CL but chalked it up as a pre-facelift as I could see the similar-looking chrome trim round the windows and it appeared to be 2 doors albeit no DRLs at the front.

However, the front grille looked wrong but some people stick random different stuff from other Mercs on their Mercs sometimes.

If a person was at the filler flap when that car came in , they'd have had to be pretty quick on their feet to avoid being sandwiched between the pickup and their pump when the incident occurred ; that pickup was shunted well over , and quickly !

Active Park Assist failure!

Indeed!

Although if they were facing that way whilst filling and could see over the back they may have had time to see or even hear something going wrong albeit wouldn't have been that loud in the wet along with ambient road noise from other cars.

They could of course have been waiting in the queue to pay.

Looks like a W219 CLS or even a much more recent E-class to me. I've used that petrol station quite a few times over the years when driving back from SE London.

Where is it? I was wondering if I recognised it but couldn’t place it.

Eastbound A20 a mile or so short of the Swanley M25 interchange.

Ah, thanks, I drive past quite often (including this afternoon)!

It’s a W213 E class
