[Jay Jenner]

can anyone link for me what the W codes are that people use when describing there cars ie W211. being a complete newcomer to MB i have no clue what they are i do apologise in advance for my lack of knowledge.

W stands for Wagen (German for "car") and the three numbers that follow represent the design number.

They are broadly although not strictly chronological (the W126 S Class of 1979 preceded the W124 saloon of 1985) and often not sequential (the W123 was superseded by the W124 which was in turn succeeded by the W210).

SL Roadsters have an R prefix instead of a W and estates have an S prefix (those more knowledgeable than me will tell you what it stands for).

But missing the 190 (W201) and the C-Classes (W202 then W203 then W204) that followed.

To add to the confusion coupes carry a "C" prefix to the chassis/model number and Cabriolets carry an "A" prefix. The early roadsters up to the 1971 280SL W113 use the "W" prefix, but starting in 1972 they used an "R" suffix beginning with the R107.

I thought the the "R" was designated to nearly all Mercedes models and denotes....RUST

Rust was a standard feature for cars delivered to England....
