A few months ago I posted pics of a 500SEC I pass on my way to the pub at lunchtime in Kingston that just stands and does nothing.



It has less than 15,000 miles on the clock.

The owner was there today. He lives in Canada and the car has to go. He imported it from Singapore. It needs new tyres, some work on the veneer and a bit of bodywork.







He wants £4,000. If anyone's interested, PM me. I have the owner's details.

He wants £4000 - is that what it's worth, I have no idea ...

[DickyC]

Good point. Don't know. News hot off the press.

If I had £4,000, I'd have it.

I would want a valid MOT for my £4000

Nice car though if it hasn't got rampant tin worm.

Typical Maltese parking! Was this a promo for the main event?

Given that an extra £950 will get you this, you may need to chip a bit more off depending on condition.

These Mercs can take monster mileages so you'd be better off with a pampered runner with 120k on it than something that has sat around with no miles.

[DickyC]

Yes, yes. You're right. It's just I see it most days when I go to and fro the pub at lunchtime and I'd built it up in my mind. I posted it on here some time ago and there was quite a lot of interest. To be honest, at lunchtime today, if I'd had four thousand quid in my pocket, I would now own five litres of non-runner with a perpetual flat tyre and peeling veneer. Plus, I would have an incandescent wife and a big hole where the four grand had been.

[iva cosworth]

As that has been standing and is shabby about 1/2 the £4000 is probably nearer the ballpark after

seeing the nice red one for £5000

[DickyC]

What about all its bits and bobs that have done so little work? Wouldn't that count for something?

[iva cosworth]

15K in 20? years is nice but cars need use.

Perhaps we should go halves...

[DickyC]

Okay, as long as I can have the half with no grief attached to it.

[iva cosworth]

It won't fit in my garage ,neither could i manouvre it into my garden parking space currently

occupied by a redundant spoilered thing.

Ahm oot..

[DickyC]

Okay, thanks anyway, iva. My imaginary four grand is intact.

The R129 SL500 is a proposition...

The force is strong with these.

Wonderful motor cars

Pothole, it was a charity event at the hotel we were staying at, these guys turned up to show there cars , they were all very keen car people and were involved in the Mdina GP.

Today apparently there is a huge Ferraari gathering at another hotel on the Island

It's a great looking thing, but why oh why oh why do owners like to keep those incongruous rally stickers on after the event? We've all got a pretty good idea that you're loaded, without having to tell us that in 2009 you went on the Poshington - Smythe Bank Tour of wkville.

Well, it would be without those bling chrome wires.
