Got the XM in the garage, dried again (blasted rain showers) and Vince is tackling the bonnet (after a nice bite to eat). The report coming in from an excited detailer is if the rest of the car is like the bonnet it is going to be mint!

Photos tomorrow, all a bit dark now.

We know and are both very grateful!

Hard at it

The challenge in the front and the satisfaction behind - the glow in the red paint is amazing

Does it still have the air suspension in the rear of the Cossie?

It has the hydro-pneumatic self-levelling, yes. The ride on a properly sorted 190 is exceptional.

I must do an illustration of a Merc Cossie some time. Looks fantastic Charles, Vince's work really has brought out the colour very nicely indeed.

You're most welcome to use mine for modelling Russ!

A couple of Xtravagantly Marvellous Cossie pics before the XM ones (coming up an absolute treat).
