1974 Mercedes-Benz W115 230.4 review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with my car until recently, when for some reason it seems to move through the gears in a strange way, going from 4th gear to third, even though I was actually raising the speed and not decreasing it?
I was hoping some of the members could give me some feedback on why it is doing this, as the garage guy seems lost on how to find the solution.
The car itself is a 1974 Mercedes 230.4 automatic and is the most fantastic car I've ever driven (wish I could have afforded to buy one new in 1974). This must have been a beast in its day, far more advanced than any car that I know of at that time.
General comments?
The car is still out of this world, I would not change it for a brand new Mercedes!
The seats are comfy and it cruises like a Rolls Royce.
