Motoring | 26 October 2002
I confess bias: I like Mercedes. I've owned several, though by the time they got down to my level they were getting on a bit. But they last, these beasts with the three-point star, which is one of the reasons we respect them. How many other up-market breeds do you find serving out their last decade as African taxis bouncing along pot-holed dirt roads, and still getting you there?
It's a treat, therefore, when a brand new one comes to stay for a few days, delivered to your door.
