Brito has had a handful of Mercedes W123s over the years, but he's never found a wagon he could afford until now. He doesn't just want a stock 300D, however. He wants a safari spec one. So, the recipe is simple; a two inch lift, a new roof rack, and a big bumper complete with a winch.
Will it survive the trail after its upgrades, or will they be left stranded in the mountains? Who knows, but at least they'll do it in more style than a Subaru!
