W124 development story

Found an old "Auto & Design" magazine dated 1985 in my old files. Cover is the W124 with a nice story in Italian/English of the design development.

PDF file is too large to upload, so I will post pages in 3 posts in order as Jpeg's.
enjoy!

I finally got around to looking at these. Very nice, but i'm the kind that would want even more detail about the car.
