Really? Why?

Ambers, steering wheel and seats are the only things I notice that are obviously "wrong". I'd put the ambers back, and budget-allowing some nicer buckets but otherwise it fits the whole R Gruppe thing.

How about a w123 200d with only 80k;

Yours for a mere 38.5k Euro
And you get to sit here, and never drive it. The original owner clearly had an eye on the future and wasn't taken in by the snake oil salesman and his rapidly depreciating optional extras. More DDR than FRG...

Spotted this today in Croatia. An old Abarth by the look of it. Lovely looking thing.

In other news I got to pedal a VW UP! for the day thus:



Came away quite impressed. Needs a lot of revving to get much progress out of it 5 up, but that's not really the point I guess. More importantly felt like a big "proper" car. Rode well. Was quiet at speed. And felt like a quality bit of kit despite the plastic steering wheel and bum-basic rental spec (and compared very favourably to an Aygo we used to own). On the downside the seatbelt is a long way behind you due to the long doors, and my son managed to kick it more or less constantly - grrrrrr. Perhaps more difficult to learn to live with is you can't see the front end, which makes it difficult to judge where the car ends. In a city car this seemed a bit of a glaring oversight. Given the leasing deals on offer though the UP! seems a bit of a no-brainer.
