Indeed. Remarkably well specced for its age.

G-Wagen is lovely Skyman, never seen that colour before. What process and ceramic did Detailer apply?
Glad you like it. The colour is certainly different - ranging from mid green through to black, depending on light conditions.
Products used were:
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and Exo V4
Wheels removed and fully coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour
Glass treated with Gtechniq G1 Glass Coating
My new GTI...

Nice one. Has detailer run through top up procedure to the Exo V4 'top coat', top up required usually every 6 - 18 months dependent on use of car to keep ceramic coating hydrophobic as possible. The glass coating is v useful helping visibility when driving on motorway - rain just beads and flies off the glass at speed.
Not been around here much recently, as life just seems to get in the way.
Regretted letting the last one of these go, so that mistake has now been rectified.

Would be a wrong move to buy that car without those alloys. Looks great.
Those alloys are cool, really suit the car.. love boxy old mercs!

No, they look awful.
Rather liking the offset on the rears though!
Sits nicely, doesn’t it
Saw one in the classic motor hub in Bibury last week. Tough car.
I'm not sure yet if I'll be keeping them on it or not as they are an acquired taste, although they were optioned on the car from new.
I have a new set of Evo II's that I may change them for, which are the wheels I had on the previous one

Oh wow, you win 👍 That's awesome.
I think the alloys really suit the car which is lovely.
Any interior photos?
I remember when I was 18, a friend had use of his dad's new 300SE which to me at the time seemed like a limo sized wafting about luxury barge. My vintage Fiesta couldn't compete.
I prefer stock wheels as on my old girl! Great cars, had full stainless system put on mine sounds great as V8’s should! Not like modern tackle with trick exhausts to beef up the V6 Turbos...https://i.imgur.com/CdxUgci.jpg
New company car arrived today, looking forward to a significant saving on tax

First time I've not specced black leather

^That looks great! I just put in an order for the new X3 30e hybrid, also in blue, but went with the black leather. The tax benefits in Finland make hybrids the only sensible solution.
Hi Glyn, thanks - it's the 330e plug in hybrid. BIK is currently 16% and if I recall reducing to 12% in April 2020. The monthly saving was versus my C220d Mercedes.
The leather is standard on the M Sport model, but I decided to go a little daring on colour, as opposed to my usual choice of black.
Drove 220 miles yesterday, of which 31 miles was pure electric. Returned 59mpg and wasn't hanging around on the M40. Pretty decent fuel economy for a car with 289bhp.
The best thing is being able to turn on the heating and heated steering wheel from my phone, no more scraping the screen for me - unless it's out of charge...
I like the F type, far too impractical for me thesedays but I like it.
I own a Jag, I`m on my second. I like Jags for what they aren't as much as what they are. They aren't Mercedes, BMW or Audi, that's a big plus for me, I don`t want to wear any of those badges.
Since the mid-80s I have driven either Audis or Mercs and will be picking up the latest, a c207 Merc, on Friday. This is my first Mercedes since a run of W124s so hoping it won't disappoint.
I’m a few months in to my first ever Merc (posted above) and so far I love it. Ride and handling is great, nice place to sit too. The only thing that irritates is the crabbing on full lock. Which engineer signed that off?!
C43, but same problem. Not a massive issue but bizarre. It’s going in for service next week so I’ll be interested to see what they say. Seems to be a 4 wheel drive issue, a mate with a Macan S was complaining about the same thing. Whoever signs these things off at design phase needs sacking...

Great combo! Excellent taste sir! Enjoy

I bought this earlier in the year. The plan is to keep it long term.
A bit of fun has arrived on the drive...
