to celebrate me rejoining the world of stacklight merc ownership, have a rather nice w115 i just found via the portal of google. sometimes, theres a lot to be said for taking a simple idea, but executing it to the letter. clean car. good colour. immaculate wheels. air. FIN. some cars just don't need anything else. some pictures-      and a nice little vid too- shamelessly stolen from HERE. and tumblr. |

A cool bit of machinery indeed, so simple & elegant almost! Looks like Cape Town and the plate matches too.

I saw a gurt lush one courtesy of markbognor's fb feed. Really struggling to provide the image, but the web address is here: Here you go:  again, simple mods only needed, in this case low. I have much love for these. EDIT: fixed by using a real computer, not an ipad |

i know the w114/115 is factory 'roof chopped' to make the lines work. screen is around 2" shorter iirc. is the w123 the same?
tbh thats the first coupe ive seen i liked, never really been a fan. i do prefer the rear bumpers on them though, the way they run froward to the arch is much sleeker than the stubby saloon one, i'd be tempted to put one on mine, if i can find one.

Yeah, I'm totally the opposite on the coupe roof chop, I think it works better than the saloon, but having owned a coupe with a sunroof, perhaps I'm biased to the open window pillar-less cruising... either way, welcome back to the mercs!

If you look very very carefully in the Targa Merc article I'm in the 'Thanks to...' section between Big Lee and my brother  |

i cant get over the fact that has two front bumpers fitted, then the license plate boshed on the grille cos theres nowhere to fit it....
