It would annoy me always seeing that the near side rear window has an additional vertical bar in it compared to the off side. Plus I'm not off to the cash and carry.

Would you be less annoyed in the knowledge that that window is split because it is electrically operated by sticking the key in a hole adjacent the window?

Quite cool feature, when pavement parked can safely load groceries/school bags/dead burglars.
And one of this threads best cars ever IMO.

I agree. V cool.

I am less annoyed now. And double pleased due to double rear wipers

Double rear wipers? I'm in.

I think buying a thirteen thousand pound chavved Cat D AMG S63 in bog basic spec from a dealer whose other stock looks like Asda car park in a particularly down at heel area is only slighly less likely to bring misery to your life than seeing how many West African prositutes you can have sex with bareback for the same amount of money.

I was going to respond with a similar rhetoric, but honestly you've covered all the bases here. I have nothing further to add which could possibly embellish the point any further.

It needs more wood effect Fablon down the sides and a sillier name.

Something a bit different.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Benz-190e-3-2-...

Mechanically it sounds interesting. A 190e with a 3.2 engine fitted.
The interior is a bit of a mish mash to me.

Very different. It'll appeal to a certain type I guess, and this line may lure in the hopeful: '...can be modified up to 1200hp by fitting a turbo charger kit'.

My 9 grand remains untempted.

I rather like this:

If the wood was black ash or summat it would look better inside. I'd still feel like an 80s drug dealer driving it.

Very cool french guy cartoon.

Little French geezer, innit. Thankfully not on all of the photos.

I’m sure the French would laugh along.

I like the idea of it. But I think it makes (some) sense at a few grand less.

But the mongrel interior doesn't inspire confidence.

Time to refresh this thread with something I want more than my own kidneys.

10% over-budget, but gotta be haggle-able, and you've got a great road trip on return so in essence it includes a 'free' holiday.

Of course, but they're the best type.

Those door cards
Love a set of advert pics with a reassuring 4 poster lift in the background. Ignore the scrap Fulvia, that's next years project.
And "maniacally maintained" too. What, in all seriousness, could go wrong?

[M3ax]

I walk past this most days. Very tidy.
