(The 220 SE [W 111] had only a single exhaust pipe.) It also says "300" in the fifth thumb just below the heater controll arms on the facia. -- Last edit: 2019-01-10 22:49:17

Surely fake, as it doesn't seem there are episodes really filmed in UK. Moreover it's LHD. I thought it could even be the same German 300 SE used in season 1 -- Last edit: 2019-01-10 23:12:12
