Like this car. It looks, at first glance, like a factory standard S123 230TE, finished in handsome Thistle Green. In some ways, that’s exactly what it is. The current enthusiast keeper, who bought it in 2019, respects what Mercedes engineers do well and has left the 2. 3L M102 standard, the interior and exterior likewise. Dig deeper, however, and you’ll find adjustable air ride by Bagged Benz that seriously enhances the stance.
The suspension is the tip of an extensive list of servicing and maintenance that totals over £25, 000. All work has been done by bluechip specialists such as the duo above and MB Nottingham.
