old school merc...

[biggbn]

keep it????..sell it???..slam it into the weeds with a big stick???....haha..one owner, fmbsh, 90k miles....drives like a beautifully made bouncy castle....

Paint it matt black with a rattle can, drop it onto the bump stops on banded steels - hey presto...

[OllieBirmingham]

Actually, don't do anything to it. Just cherish it and use it occasionally, then pass it along to the next generation. Looks to be in really nice condition. If you don't have the time or inclination to drive it then pop it in one of those carcoon things and store it somewhere.

i wouldnt touch the paintwork and realistically, if i slam it, im not doing anything that cant be easily recified with a new set of springs....the old guy selling it was getting a new merc for his 78th birthday....an slk would you believe!!!....il waft around in it for a while then ebay beckons i suppose, as usual!!

[stockver]

plate is good too

[Graebob]

Sell it to me!

[biggbn]

make me an offer....i just like showing off the oddball cars i turn up..i end up selling em all...and yup to the plate..iv had it valued..three seperate valuations..one at £250 to me, one £450 to me and one £850 to me...presumeably because that valuation has noticed its both a mbz plate and could do for a porsche 928 S.....

[Baffled Spoon]

Looks gorgeous as is Why on earth would you want to slam a w123 for anyway Which engine has it got?

[Strangely Brown]

What a beautiful old girl. Why on earth would you want to do anything to it at all?

[biggbn]

just for a giggle and too annoy the purists???....its a poverty spec 200 with 2 litre carb fed engine and 5 speed box...sits at an 85mph cruise no problem and there is nothing like the feling of sitting behind that arrogant three pointed star....

[shadowninja]

Nothing a set of 24" chrome spinners, a two-level carbon spoiler and a Veilside bodykit wouldn't improve...















Only kidding. Leave it exactly as it is. If you want to sell it, get on mbclub.co.uk... I'm sure one of them would take it off you.

[Graebob]

Where's Tayside?

[biggbn]

[Xenocide]

Gosh she's a pretty old thing.

[Ecurie Ecosse]

A very nice car!

Another vote for keeping it as is - it's far too lovely and original to mess about with.

One change I would suggest is to replace that plate with the original one - IMHO I'm not too keen on older Mercedes with MBZ plates, and they belong more on gangsta stylee cars rather than this one ; )

[biggbn]

She'll never forgive you now!

[biggbn]

probably better to go to someone who will really appreciate the old bus rather than someone with one eye constantly on the still saw.....

I love W123s. That sir is an awesome car. It'll also do 250,00 miles with little problem
