I once owned a W115 1976 240D/A. I divorced it at 726,000km and the old tank was still going strong. I just grew tired of the almost boring predictability.

She did 0-60 in six weeks, was as rough as they come and was called fondly The Ark by the kids.

Much of her mileage was accumulated towing a six metre caravan or heavy four metre trailers across the length and width of South Africa 🇿🇦, mostly deeply rutted farm roads or what folks call Jeep tracks.

I hope my next Benz will be as good.
