From my previous bickerings, you may already know I’m a fan of the older Mercs, especially the W123, W124 and the legendary 190e. You’ll also know I’m a massive drift fan, so sooner or later I was bound to come across this drifting W123 estate.

I clicked on the clip expecting your standard local drift run – after the first few seconds I quickly realised this old girl meant serious business. She doesn’t just drift, she drifts noisily and aggressively with much tyre smoke – all factors the judge’s take into consideration.

This fearsome creation boasts around 600hp & 1000Nm from a 3.0-l, 24 Valve, OM606 -98 Mercedes Turbodiesel Engine.

Check her out, she’s awesome.
