Another great video from Harry Metcalfe, this time extolling the virtues of his SL600...

Thanks really enjoyed that.

Captures the character of the R129 really well; I'm not a fan of the AMG wheels but otherwise it looks ok for 5k. The seat bolsters do wear, all the ones I looked at other than the one I bought were the same. Fuel consumption of the V8 is much better than circa 20 of that one, think nearer 30.

Thanks for the link.

He has facelift bumpers on his pre facelift car. Makes the car look newer than a 1993.

Solid cars

Great little film that seems to cut to the chase about the charm on these beasts, and rather has me asking the question about what to replace our second car with. For the money, that's a lot of car.

Fantastic!

What's the warning light that's on the dash? I can't quite make it out and can't remember which bulb is there in my W124...

Washer fluid low. Watch economy meter as well.

More a "lack of economy meter" as it reads from 30mpg down to 10!

Preetty sure that he bought it from scotland. The split rims were probably not genuine- presume he swapped it out for proper AMGs.
