This is the car we've just purchased as a collective as Planetauto, the car is a W124 Mercedes Benz 230 CE, 4 cylinder 2.3L Petrol.

She has been named Lady Dorothy or Dotty in homage to her previous owner and is 27 years old.

The video shows a short drive in the German classic followed by some snow foaming of the rear of the car.

Expect to see a lot of this car, as well as videos documenting the life and adventures of Dotty.
