W124 230TE aka Old Hero

[Guest gp]

Took a shot of my OLD HERO.....

W124 230TE

[Guest millionmilebenz]

Your "Lau Hero" looks like it's in excellent condition.

The W124 Estate has a solid reputation as a very robust car that can last forever. Best of luck with the car!

Just wanted to share... last December, i took ole' trusty to Bangkok. This photo was taken enroute. Its at the narrowest point of thailand and the gate you see in the background is the thai-burma border

[Guest 9339]

SGMERC could head up to Bangkok for Dec 5. The club there usually celebrates the kings birthday.. but its a small event in comparison to the Mercedes Benz Day in Bangkok.. this year it was held in Feb

Yup.. i work at NTU.... and there are about 3 W124 TE's in NTU including mine and a W123 TE as well. As for a W202 estate, my mechanic services one... its dark blue and assures me that its not for sale I've asked.... i've also spotted a W210 before

Hi Paul,

My respect to you for taking on such an arduous trip up North with your old faithful

Nice pic. Thanks for sharing. Driving my TE daily still and never fails to bring a smile on me that a 1986 car can still ride so well. With the rainy periods, my other E30 cabriolet spends most of its time at home

Thanks for the kind words Benny, it was a great trip and Bertha was more or less a very good girl to me I would encourage you to take such a trip one day... and you have got to take the TE!
