Got me thinking about a beautiful Opal Monza 3.0 GTE that I sold to a friend. It was really lovely. Metallic ice green with black leather. He only had it a week, totalled it.

Always liked Gold on cars

Gold paintwork that is, not the Miami vice era gold plated grills/trim/badges/wheels. So very 80’s

Anybody remember Rude Mercs in Cambridge heath road Hackney, he was one of the first to offer the “Miami vice look” Mercedes 190’s over here with bodykits, SEC front grills, wheel upgrades, and of course Gold badging. He used to have a yank now and then. Always Top money, but would and could always “put it on the book “ for you.

Yep, remember them - just a little way down from Hackney Road/Cambridge Heath juction/railway bridge/Station. Would like to have said that it was a nice area to visit back then (as compared with today.......but it wasn't, although one might feel considerably safer 'then' than now......?)

I’m afraid a lot of Outer London is like that nowadays.

Was in Hackney Road a lot during the 80’s. Also mare street.
