Congrats!! The 210 and 208’s were the last of the best MBs produced. The merger already took place, but the quality parts were still being used till ‘02.

When I bought my W123 (300D), the relative consensus was the W116 was last of the greats
When I bought my C124 (300CE), the relative consensus was the W123 was last of the greats
When I bought my W208 (CLK55), seems the W124 was last of the greats
Gotta say, I’m on my second W212 (E350 sedan and now E63S wagon) and these are truly great cars!

I don’t have enough garage space to keep them all!

Nice Accomplishment,
Concours is a very high end car show and i hope to be at the next one.
We have an exotic car show in my home town once a year. I intended on entering but have some paint damage from IRMA. I might be able to perform a spot job but not looking good with the cold weather and holidays coming fast. haaha

Congrats Chappy

Cheers
