History
Bought in 2012. 165,000 kms. I am the 4th Owner. Being a Member of the Mercedes Benz Club of Victoria I have enjoyed participating in Club events. The 420 has won Its Class In the 2018 Concours event. While it doesn't require any major restoration I am keen to ensure that it maintains its Class winning view and performance.
I use it on a regular basis, about 9,000 kms annually.
Modifications
The only minor work I have done during my ownership is to get it back to original features. Initially I removed a Bull Bar and a Tow bar. I removed a modern radio and was able to install a Becker Grand Prix radio with a CD Stacker. [While not the original it is close to it and pleasant to use]
The Midnight Blue is a very suitable colour for the W126 as I believe they look best in dark paint.
