My recently acquired SL500. Would look nice next to Oa's.
Really enjoying her at the moment, except for a rather large bill for a new window regulator and motor. Oh well, just hope there is nothing else looming.
Wasn't someone after a Taxi-coloured SL?

Admittedly a 107 rather than 129, with chromed arches, and over thread budget, but intriguing nonetheless.

Well I really want a 190!
This could be your lucky day!http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C636365#
Over budget, and grotesquely over-priced, but just look at it. 34k. Wonderful provenance. Even got keep fit windows - the (wealthy) fans of original spartan will love it.
A delightful antithesis of modern driving.
This may have been posted before, but drove past this Merc graveyard today and thought I'd share.

You must! And congratulations - we'll all want pictures and details.
Will do! She's currently spending her last night in the Mercedes garage I work for before I collect her. Currently has issues with running for more than 20 minutes which is related to some sort of fuel issue. I'm happy to spend a few quid getting her sorted and am hoping it will be fairly straightforward!!Also have a 190 in the family, along with an early R170 SLK and daily driver is a 211 Wagon E320 CDI so I will be watching this thread closely!

Well it looks like I've gone and bought a P38 Range Rover Vogue off ebay completely unseen.... What could possibly go wrong?
Seems like a good example, most of the common jobs appear to have been taken care of. Fingers crossed all will be well when I head south to collect it next week!
Will come back and add some pictures once I've picked it up
So I picked her up last Friday. Long journey back north and didn't miss a beat all the way home. Really a very pleasant place to spend a long journey. Seems like a good example, most of the common jobs appear to have been taken care of. Fingers crossed all will be well when I head south to collect it next week!
Will come back and add some pictures once I've picked it up
Needs a couple of bits of cosmetic tidying but nothing major. May get it in to a local specialist for a once over just to make sure all's well.

This looks to be in lovely condition. Good 3.6 litre XJ40s are rare now.cat220 said:

Apologies for the delay, been busier than usual. I've driven about 250 miles in it so far and it's been a very positive experience. As mentioned, it's not perfect but its faults are of the minor variety, e.g. outside temperature gauge stuck at +58C, parking scrape on the front bumper, steering wheel offset. I'll go in to more detail when I start a reader's cars thread. It has no rust that I can find, engine is excellent, gearbox fine, interior is nearly perfect bar a cracked speaker grille in the door.
There is something wonderfully excessive about the W140 coupe. Some quality (IMHO) Swedish barges for a Monday morning.
760 GLE Estate. One owner from new, 42k miles. Top end of thread budget

960 CD Saloon - lower end of thread budget. Does look handsome.
