Hey y'all.
Long time lurker, thought it was about time I introduced myself and my whip. Currently rolling in a 1994 Mercedes S320L (V140 shape). They're quite a rare sight over here now, especially in pre-facelift form. Mine's a 2 owner car, all it's ever done is chauffering fat cats up and down the country. A mate of mine, who some of you on here may know (bigperm) who's very well known in the UK Benz scene bought it as a non runner, made it all fantastically awesome, and then sold it to me. It's silver over grey, LWB (hence the V not W chassis prefix), with black leather and comfort pack.
Right now it's sat on 18x9.5" Brabus Monoblocks (3 spokes, ****** 'gon ****), just on chopped springs ATM although the ride's sublime as it is. Thinking about airing it out, but unsure yet as AFAIK it's not been done over here yet and I'm not good at fabbing the mounts etc that I need :/ .
I've now de-facelifted it, which is surprisingly hard over here. That means US spec orange front indicators and side repeaters, with orange wing repeaters too. It's got a Euro-spec heckblende on the back, which was a flukey bargain on eBay.de within the first week of ownership. I'm 50/50 on keeping this, which is insanely cool and VERY in keeping with the whole 90's theme I'm going for, or getting a US spec bootlid for it. Either way, it'll be different as there aren't as yet any 140s on the UK scene (that I know of anyway).
I'm afraid the pics are just phone pics, but next time I'm down at the workshop I'll get some proper ones. They don't do the car justice at all:
Honest opinions welcome
