I love the c126 when i was in high school my dad had a 420 in this weird battleship green color im not really a fan of green normally but it really suited it. If i can find some pics of it il post them. Im not to sure about the Koenig tho. The performance and wheels hit the spot but i think the kit cheapens the car. However its quite subtle compared to what they did to the SLC.

Is that magazine Mercedes Enthusiast still around in the UK?

They said that the wide-body SEC is perfect for those "who's skin is tanned, who's shirt is permanently open and love wearing black sunglasses". Basically a reference to playboys or pimps.

There was a white one with red valor trim. It had been imported from Japan and was for sale about 6 months ago on AutoTrader UK. it might still be up. Il have a hunt around and see if i can find it for you.

Its funny you should mention Mercedes Enthusiast as i was looking though it in Smiths yesterday, there was a W123 230E with a conversion claiming it was running a 560 SEC, looked quite interesting.

Yeah i was daring myself to use the quote "whiff of chest wig and medallion" hehe.
