Not A Proper Classic
Welcome to Not A Proper Classic!
Here you'll find videos on working on, living with, as well as loving (and hating) life with my C124 (W124 coupe) 1993 Mercedes 220ce.
As it was only 29 years old when I got it, apparently it's not a proper classic car.
There will be appearances from other cars in the NaPC fleet, including a Nissan Figaro and Toyota WiLL vi, alongside other cars crossing past the Not A Proper Classic workshop.
