Came across this glorious white Merc whilst out cycling in Northallerton. The lady owner was up visiting friends or family in the area and happy for me to take some photos and have a good look at the car, both inside and out. It was a while ago now, but I seem to remember she said that it started out life in South Africa and was brought across to England by the original owner a few years ago. not in mint condition, but very nice nonetheless for those that like their German cars big and well equipped. The Mercedes-Benz SL has been manufactured by Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sportlich-Leicht , which in English translates as Sport Lightweight . First applied to the 300 SL, the infamous and amazingly beautiful "Gullwing" model, the classification is still in use to this day.

I read online that the Mercedes-Benz W128, which was one of the 'Ponton' series of passenger vehicles they produced after World War II, wasn't introduced until 1958. However, the DVLA records show this one as being manufactured in 1956. Now that would suggest it might in fact be an example of the earlier W120, but given the lines of the bodywork and the fact that it had a 2.2 litre engine I'm pretty confident it is a W128. Regardless of the exact model, it sure was one fine looking old classic and a pretty chunky one at that. I don't normally care for Mercs, but I did like the look of this one.

Spotted in Northallerton. Not my cup of tea and some might comment on it not even being all that old. However, when you think about it this car is already 18 years old and I can easily imagine it being considered a classic in years to come.

Rare old W187 limousine styled Mercedes was stunning and I imagine quite rare!

And a little closer please!

Time for some bling!
