Classic (old, retro) cars for sale £0-5k
Discussion
Yep, that's my W126. I got the car cheap, have spent about £300 getting it into daily driver stage then planned to get all the paint done and run around in it until my M140 arrived in September...
The dealer called and my car is now being built much earlier so I'll be picking it up in about a month, this leaves me in the position that I could spend £1000 on paint, enjoy it for a week and then try to get £2000 for it... Or sell it as is. It's just not worth me spending on it to not see any 'profit' so I'm just looking for my money back, then someone can get it cheap and hopefully restore it back to its former glory!
If anyone is interested, drop me a message via here. I'll happily talk anyone through the car. Everytime I'm working on it or cleaning it outside the house someone will come up and talk to me about it, the old boys love it!

Tidy Z. Although some seem to slate them for handling, which seems odd.
The 280 wasn't in the same mould as the 260 let alone the 240.If you take it for what it is - a cruiser - it's ok
I liked the later 300ZX TT - reviews weren't great at the time but I wanted one.

Almost had a bid on this, but the lack of MOT (despite what the listing suggests) and the MOT history put me off a bit. Might have ignored the warning signs if it had been a better colour though!

the wear on those seats look like more than the mileage suggests! :OW00DY said:
It appears to be £1k too cheap - if it was closer I'd have to go and have a look.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
