My dad had a KL plate w210. Sold it when it had 520,000km on the dash. E280 V6. Year 2000 model so it had all the goodies u come to expect from a w210 years before it got replaced by the w211. Now we have a w211. Nice ride but the w210 always has a more than special place in my heart.
I continue to prefer the design approach from the era of the W210, 124 era...fundamentally superior way to do things as far as i'm concerned. I prefer the 1-wiper system, speedo-in-centre layout & amber coloured needle gauges with warm-white lighting etc. which unfortunately all seems lost in all their current generation models ?!? But...never really liked their, or from any maker for that matter, the 4-cylinder engines...'minimum' acceptable 'standard' for me would have to be the 5 or 6-cylinder engines, won't mind it even if it's a diesel but i'll avoid a 4-cylinder car 'like the plague' i'll say. But i understand unfortunately due to all those stupid outdated engine capacity based mode of vehicle taxation (especially from the 80's & 90's era) in Singapore, so that ended up with the majority of the W210/124 in Singapore being the E 200 (only) instead of the far more deservingly attractive E 250/280/300/320 etc.

Fantastic
Thats is fantastic color, I have 96 cypress green metallic E320 with W210 E55 monoblocks.😁
Sad that these are so dang rusty. The engineering is actually quite solid, especially the m113 v8 is a tank of an engine.
