The cars of the Classic Car Club of Ceylon are always an absolute feast for motorheads worldwide! It is always interesting to see vehicles from around the world in locations around the world, hear the owners' stories and opinions on their pride and joy! I am not a fan of modern Mercedes, nor most modern cars, but I remember the old W108 / W109 models here in the USA at a time when these were a rare sight rather than extremely ordinary made for anyone with decent credit. These cars were built to a standard, and built to last, actually like many luxury cars were at times. Here, Cadillacs and Lincolns were built to a standard of excellence in the 1960s and served people properly provided it was maintained; unfortunately, we became a "throwaway society" so to keep various industries pumping out "new and improved" products. But to me, this classic Mercedes is one of if not the ultimate Mercedes models, even in lowly 280 base form! This car was also a turning point for Mercedes where horsepower became a greater focus. Thank you for sharing another great car profile! EDIT: I always love to see young women enjoying classic cars and showing knowledge and interest in the hobby! Actually, for me it was the reverse as my Mother (who had a bit of a car-crazy family) would name car models for me as a kid, and I remember being able to identify any common vehicles by the time I was five. A lovely choice!

Sri Lanka is so corrupt it has passed a law tonexport out classics ( no doubt some crrok had one he wanted to take out) YET IT PROHIBITS BRINGING IN A CLASSIC 🚫 We have to wonder where the leaders are leading us? Bring back Ceylon!

I had 2 Capris in the 80s in the UK when I was a young lad - they still look fabulous now! Great that you care for this car so well and keep it going. It would be great to drive on the twisty roads from Kandy to Newark Eliya, which I visited many years ago - breath taking scenery!

This is the type of car we (especially in the USA, alas) have moved away from entirely, alas. Light, decent power-to-weight ratio....can't ask for more fun than THAT! Another magnificent presentation from Sri Lanka! Thanks!!!

Beautiful!!! The Classic Car Club never ceases to amaze me with the assortment of cars that the members cherish! My familiarity with the Corsair came from the model versions made in the 1960s (Matchbox, Dinky, and Lone Star). I always liked that modern, futuristic, Detroit-influenced styling with inspiration taken from Ford USA's crown jewel 1961 Thunderbird, but scaled down to a smaller more practical size and in a more practical sedan version. Such a unique classic!

Haha, yes, those are the BEST cars! The "Q Ship" that looks very much like a standard model, but gives you the confidence and authority to drive with proper assertion! These were the last of the best Mercedes-Benz cars, in my opinion. Built to a standard (not a price), exceptionally durable with proper care, and smart, dignified styling with the hood ornament (what ever happened to that styling element?????), and none of the fussy electric fatures and "infotainment" nonsense (are you driving, or are you there for "infotainment") This is the type of car I would buy new and then keep forever....just timeless. A tip of the hat to another Classic Car Club of Ceylon owner and vehicle. Thanks for sharing.
