Adam What's with the two color interior? S124 designo?
-
w123-Fahrer Designo came after w124.

Hans Baumaster I think so. however, one could have ordered pretty much any combo from the factory back when these were made to order. Oh Yes stay home unless critically needed elsewhere to fight the virus.
-
Hans Baumaster More photos available of the interior?
-
Adam Oh..one more thing, totally agree on the true heroes of this mess!

Smart Charger Distress vs LifeHack ...
Today's smart car battery chargers are anything but!
Especially if your battery has gone flat.
Lifehack #187 lap top charger rigged next to the smart (not really) charger to initiate the charge. Potentially dangerous and highly un-recommendable though.

Rehabbing a 220Sb w111
Strictly speaking, I wasn't in the market for another classic car, quite the opposite. In fact, trying to down size and focus... However, when the opportunity knocked my door in form of a 220Sb stored in an old industrial building for a decade or two, I couldn't resist...
