Chaps

Mika's post on his W124 estate aquisition rather whetted my appetite for the somewhat older motor car.

After much debate on the merits of using an older car as a daily drive on another thread, this morning I took delivery of this.

I'll add a bit more later but I have a chap coming soon to fit a new radio for me so I can get bluetooth telephony.

A big thank you to Jonathan at Avantgarde for a very pleasant buying experience.

That is one beautiful car and YES,I am jealous

 

[SilverSaloon]

[mattc]

You are a very sensible chap, welcome to 124 world

 

[martyz]

super car,well bought.

 

[rigel]

Certainly looks very nice indeed, as previously said welcome to the 124 side.

 

[GP801]

Well done. A beautiful car. You wont regret it. Welcome to the club.

 

[Troon]

Very nice. Is that little AMG badge on the front standard? Looks a bit out-of-place and fiddly for my liking - if that were my car, it'd be coming off. It gives the impression of AMG wannabe, when you're clearly not.

The headlamp wash wipers could have been straightened prior to handover ... only joking. that is a minter mate enjoy

 

[Igurisu]

Congratulations Palfrem, that is absoloutely gorgeous.

I believe it's standard. Just a bit of Teutonic frippery I guess.

That is really lovely.
I honestly believe that there are few nicer car environments than a 124 interior. Over and above the 'hewn from granite' feel, for me, the interior feel dateless and so 'right'

Another person who's jealous.

Now that I have to see and hear in the flesh. Let me see Solihull about 120 miles from me and on the way to London. I wonder.

Congratulations on the purchase. Its the Dogs.
