Hello from an long time g fan

Hello all
just thought i would introduce myself.I have lurked in the background for a couple of years but have recently joined your happy band. I have been a long time fan of the G having driven them when thy where first introduced to the UK back in the early 80's. I worked for an MB dealership from 80-87 and worked on what i believe to be the best built cars the world will ever see ,123 , 116 , 107 ,124 , 201 ,126 and of course the 460 where all cars built without regard to cost , built by engineers not accountants , (apologies to any accountants). I have spent the last couple of years building myself a Westfield sportscar and now find myself lacking a project to keep me out of mischief. I have fond memories of my many miles in various G's over the years and have decided to replace my beloved w124 estate with a G, so i will shortly be looking for a 300ge swb,
auto prefered for a budget of around 5- 6k. In the meantime i will try and dig some of my old photos out of the MBUK G Wagen fleet cars that used to do the rounds of the dealerships in the early 80's Cheers for now SK
