Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Any Mercedes W123 fans within this thread?
If not, please ignore the photo of my sort of current project.

That's one stylish motor. There's one parked at the other end of my road that I always liked.

You already have, with your Daimler-Benz W124.

This.
I'm loving mine. Latest 'surprise and delight' discovery: heated windscreen washer fluid and nozzles.

An S124 with the 5.0 V8 in it would probably be my ideal tourer right now though.

There was one for sale in the US not so long ago, but it was a proper cut-and shut. They had taken a genuine 500E, sawn off the back and welded the estate rear on. Frightening. Why wouldn't you just transplant into a complete TE body?
