98 SL500. One of my favourite cars owned. now has the pan roof on until she goes away for winter..
It really is a very tidy looking motor. I bet the glass roof is great! How heavy is the pan roof by the way?dickyf said:

looks fantastic...I bet it was a pretty stunning drive ot get there!Following from my thread on here recently about looking for a W124. Here it is, picked up at weekend. 280, grey leather, 170k. Seems to be in generally good order. Have it booked in with SS Motors in W Byfleet tomorrow for a check over and fettle. I love it so far, bit more sluggish than I'm used to but just need to get into wafting around mode. Few niggly problems which I'm sure I'll be on here soon to ask about. Over all, well chuffed.....
Some of my CLK
The 300SL in the garage in the last pic belonged to my GF's late grandad. '91 H, two owners from new, 34000 genuine miles. I could've bought this, but hadn't really got the space/time for it, so stupidly passed on it. However, my GF's grandma was tired of it sat in the garage, so invited a local trader round a couple of weeks ago to look at it. He offered her (and this is where I get a lump in my throat) £3300, and she took it. If I'd had any idea she'd havegiven it away sold it for that little, I'd have snapped her hand off.

I must be going mad. I saw an advert for a blue, low milage (around that) early R129 a few months ago that looked like was taken in the same garage (there was a breezeblock wall on the left side of the car - as in your shot). I remember a yellow lead going into the car.
Spooky! Deffo wasn't this one though. Any idea how much that car was advertised for, just to make me more annoyed I didn't buy this one?LeighW said:

So what. You pay a premium for low miles and cannot drive it without losing money. Or it sits in a garage, which is the very worst thing you can do to a R129.
If you wanted to buy it to then resell it....then nothing I can say to help there as quite a bit of £££ in it.

Yep, that was all I'd have wanted it for. If it had been a 500 I'd have been more tempted to buy it for myself. I drove it a few times, it wasn't quick by any means, but it still felt tight as a drum as you'd expect with those miles. Gassing Station | Mercedes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
