Title: Well, that was unexpected. ..
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 19 June 2016, 00:07:30: ...took one of the 190s to the Mercedes National Concours at Milton Keynes. 28 years old and just ticked over 96k miles. Amongst various E500s, SLs, Fintails, and proper show cars that come out in summer.
Only went and won "best interior"! :y ;D ;D

I genuinely can't take any credit, MrsGK (or when she's on here, MV6Haze of course) did every millimetre of the interior. Seats, carpets, dash, headlining, glass... absolutely spotless and immaculate, she's made good use of her OCD. Still chuffed to bits!

(Also I was quite taken aback when they callef my namr out. A few of the older gentlemen got a start when I accidentally went "opps ME... I mean er heavens".

Doubtless she will be posting the photos on here to show off in due course. ..

VXR8s were surprisingly well represented at the show, although none were as striking as your "snot green" example, Ken! :P
