That was like having an s550 Mercedes in the 70’s , could remember down to 1999 some governors had it as their official car.

Ogun state, former Governor Osoba used many of it as convoy till 2003

I don't think so. The Mercedes has always been a high status car and mid 70s was no exception. The move to Peugeot, seen as a middle class car, was actually a directive from OBJ

In fact it was the profligacy that characterized much the Gowon years where public officials were using exotic high end cars (like the benz) that made OBJ make the directive.

Bullshit his generation destroyed a once promising country and up till now we've not been able to turn things around with people like you still engaging in parochial worship of him and his likes. If obasanjo and his contemporaries had put aside self-aggrandizement and made this country work like Singapore Estonia and Malaysia, maybe you would have been living a more decent life than coming online to sell useless honey

This car and contact set problems (At least thats what they called it.) If i hear say you no get lighter or matches inside this motto.

Asides the occasional early morning cold, the car was ready to go anywhere. Even when cold catch am, just light up the contact set, e go answer. grin

Ours had a Choke knob located beside the cigarette lighter that you pull in cold weather and the car will start up instantly.

My regards.

You were making sense then you deviated.
So then what happened?. Was it not that time Nigerians should have laid down sound industrialisation for today's youths and generations?. What happened was a rape on this Nation.If black man had insisted that 70% local content of Peugeot production,the White man would have agreed.But what was then-FESTAC jamborees.Up till today we are stealing and wasting our resources because past Leaders-Shagari et all military and Civilian alike)were dealing with Nigeria State.Today,those who gets there as-Governor, Senators and Representative have a slogan' winners take all' Very unpatriotic elements.
You see Youth Unemployment everywhere in Nigeria because of how past and present leaders gave dealt with Nigeria as they cannot do something meaningful-no light,no good water,no good oads etc.Shameful.!!

It is not real Sir.
This was not OBJ official car Sir.
Remember his boss was killed inside Mecedes Benz on that Friday the 23th of February 1977.
You can still check for that Benz at Lagos museum anytime any day.
When then will OBJ go down and be using 504?

504 was a middle-class car back
then in the 1970s, and 505 took over in the early 1980s.
