Mercedes E220 - Shedtastic

[LouD86]

Well I think I have a problem. This year has resulted in a new car each month, without fail, and April does not disappoint.

April's shed is the following

1995 W124 E220 Saloon
88k
1 Female Owner
Full MBSH
Tax and MOT Till August

£200!! Thats right! And it had a full bloody tank!!

The alloys need tidying, it needs a good polish, but apart from that it all works, even the AC.

Pics, oh go on then;





And then with her Stablemate for Daily Duties, the Scenic. Range Rover, Landrover, Boat and Caravan all tucked away on the farm - lack of space!!

It has a spec, less than the size of a Rice Crispie on one arch. Thats it!! Drives smooth as silk, its lovely.

It came in PX at my dads garage. He called me and asked if I would be interested in a check 90's merc. I said yes. I got home, found the keys through my door, and the V5. Thats when I first found out what it was. Got a lift 20 miles to his garage, it was outside, got in, and bought it home, about half hour ago! Sits at 80 very nicely!

Nothing wrong with some bargains!! Im heading off to Lydden Hill tomorrow for the BDC, was going to take the Range Rover, but I think this will more than happily make the journey, and possibly be more comfortable!! Ultimate road test!

Well BH Monday, im getting out the DA and giving the car a proper going over. Ill give it a damn good hoover too, make it like new inside and out, may even get stuck into the engine bay! I hope to run it for a little bit, not sure if Ill sell it though

[LouD86]

Well its Sunday Service at MB World tomorrow. So I thought I would clean the ol beast up. She is now 800 miles under the belt, not an ounce of oil used, and motoring so smooth. 35mpg is where it has settled too!









Only problem is, which one do I take tomorrow??

That looks very like a run out E220 "SE". My Dad had one, a few extra goodies like polished alloys, air con and an outside temperature gauge. You need to rev the 16v unit.

A great buy!

You got the spec spot on!! Yer, it does enjoy a good rev!

Bring this tomorrow! I see you took the headlight protectors off as well, looks a lot cleaner.

Yup, I put the light protectors in the boot, along with the fully stamped service book, loads of reciepts, and the lady's pad. An accesory I believe to stop high heels damaging the carpet mats! This car had everything with it.

Ill bring the W124 then, I love it. Had to loose some tread on the 55 tonight though

I owe my dad a fair bit, but then I help him out an aweful lot too!!

Lets just say, my fleet at current owes me a lot less than friends cars, that includes boat, cars, caravan etc. And yet, they all prefer mine! Crazy folk!

The mercedes, with its options, was £27,126 on the road. In 95, that was a fair chunk!
