That is awesome.
My neighbour had one of these for years until having to change to something newer to tow his caravan. He still regrets selling it to this day even though he now has a £35k+ new Merc.
He's a mechanic/garage owner and swears that these are the best cars Merc ever built.
In addition, African dictators like these a lot, and they can't all be wrong.

The very same iirc, a 230E
Cheers bud, yeah its eligible for classic insurance, £200 a year
Its a cracker, obviously for a 26 year old car there are some snags, but on the whole its sweet as, engine and gearbox are sound.

My mate was 23 and had classic car insurance on his XR2. So I shouldn't be too hard I would have thought.

Classic car insurance FTW, paying 18 quid a month for this, with no NCB as my 8 years is on my golfs policy.

Rossy my good man, the list is long.
My favourite has to be the accelerator linkage that has torn away from the bulkhead. This has resulted in having to press the accelerator with much higher force than normal to enable movement. Of course, Being safety concious, I have repaired this using blu tak and duct tape. Pics to follow.
Another gem is the petrol guage and oil pressure guage falling to zero whenever the brake pedal is pressed.
Of secondary concern is the brake pedal judder, think how a brake pedal feels when ABS is working, that's what mines's like, all the time.
But aside from those minor niggles, everything is fantastic, auto gearbox is strong. Considering it's done a paltry 245,000 miles. Lush. Best £500 ever spent.
