Herman lives on!!!

[FC123]

Today, Herman went to the Bi-annual syn (Danish MOT) and passed with flying colours.

In effect this means Herman may drive for 2 years more, before going to syn again.

We are truly blessed


For those who don't know Herman is a W123 230E.

Good old Herman... I like his color!
How many kms on the speedo?

295K So in a few thousand he's run in. Then I'm allowed to take him past 2700 RPM

Last 5k he used not one drop of oil, which I find quite astonishing.

Good to hear!

God I love the W123.

Wow you're right, Herman is hardly broken in... Will double this mileage with ease!

Wish you many happy miles with your old friend...

So a white one at our dealer today. (Our E-Class is getting the Assyst C inspection.)
The W123 looked awesome - great leather interior. And I also like the colour of your W123. Looks fantastic - such colours fits perfect to old Benzes!!

Picked him up today.

New steering box eliminated almost all play in the steering, and a new chain means the engine is now very quiet at 130 km/h.

Sunroof open and high sunshine. Life's great in a w123.
