SBU8380R Recently Transacted

It is born and looking especially beautiful with the upright star. The new C class estate!

SBU1622P

Big Hello to the happy couple we saw in their 300TE-24 on the 15th of July 2014! You've got a lovely car! (fast too)

SBU1622P

Recently Spotted W124 cars

 With kind contribution from Peter Chan who spotted these TE's in Bedok and Bukit Timah! It's great to see these TE cars still running around

SCV9443U

SCK3964E

I think thats the last of the W123 Estate cars...

It looks like its official. SBN2575T which was the last surviving W123 TE on my list, with a COE expiry of Nov 2014 appears to have been de-registered! 

First launched in 1977, this was the best estate car that could be had! Mechanical Fuel Injection, Self-Leveling rear Suspension and lovely chrome roof rails.

This is very likely how SBJ2575T looked like, if my memory serves me right. She was light ivory colour with beige interior.

Farewell!

The Tunnel 2013-2014

Just completed watching the British/French crime drama 'The Tunnel'. Excellent series with a rather excellent leading car! Ok, there were two leading cars, one was a S124 320TE and the other was a Porsche 944. Some nice fast driving scenes of the 124 zipping to save the world!

Goodbye SBT154K

Hello eager followers. I know its been awhile. For the time being the most important update happened back in 2013 where we said goodbye to SBT154K. I'm sure there has been many more that have been sent to Mercedes heaven in the last two years.

It's May 2014 and the PQP for COE for Cat B cars is hovering around the 70-80k region.. not far off my 2010 predictions.

Hopefully I'm right to see a softening in 2015.. I'm now going to scheme up new predictions for the years ahead.
