Looks to be in super condition too...lucky you. But that driver's side floor protection, it really has to go. 8-)

Thank you for the compliment though. Cheers.

Stunning car. I would think its the perfect Mercedes daily driver. Appreciate all the photos. You should get many more miles on the car if maintained with any regularity. Enjoy

Clean and tidy. The instrument cluster indicated this one is similar to the UK model, RHD, with dual speedo letters in Km and miles. Cloth-seats are also a rare edition.
The red car on the left in the first photo is an Alfa 164. Would be interested in knowing more how folks in Malaysia keep running their Alfas. PM me if you have more info.

Yeah the 164 is my daily driver, 1990 164TS.


and here is my weekend ride :

1966 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible, factory RHD

PS: Glad you have a 164QV there must be a pain to drive in HK traffic (assuming its a 6 speed manual).

Thanks. Really handsome 164TS you got there. Mine is 5-speed manual which is standard on all QV model; 6-speed manual gearbox is only available in Q4 (four wheel drive model only found in Europe). My 164QV 24 valve has great torque at low revolution but also gives me silky smooth, quiet yet razor-sharp performance on highways so 5-speed is good enough in Hong Kong. The W124 M103 300CE on the other hand is a very balanced and solid car to drive, with comparable performance in low and mid-range, as I have replaced the stock differential with a 3.67 version only finding it too wild and sacrificing top speed that I lowered to a 3.46 version, which now gives me responsiveness at low end yet a quieter drive beyond 160 km/h.

Nice! Check the wiring loom, on this model MB used an environmentally friendly coating on the wires, which is too green!! Its breaks down & can cause major issues. Yours may not be effected, but check it regardless!
