Yes

Assuming it's fully prepared, documented and ready to go historic rallying, that's exceptionally good value at just £5k

Certainly don t see many of these on the roads any more!!

Is that the Dave Mathewson from the TV show?

Yes

I don't know him name so it didn't register with me. This was in the depths of Cornwall!

It's certainly not the cleanest thing in the world but it seemed kitted up and ready to go!

I'm pretty certain it has been out on historic rallies - before the Matthewsons got it.

I saw it during pre-auction viewing and it didn’t look too bad. OK if you want to go historic rallying cheaply I guess

I saw it parked at Mathewsons in May 2023 and thought it looked pretty good.

Found some more information and an action video. Car would not meet today's safety regulations for stage rallying but more latitude may be given to historic classes.

Old Merc parked in an industrial estate...

Not just any old Merc either, but Fifties supercar the 300SL , as the plate suggests

Couple of survivors

Neither Google or I know what that means?!

[droopsnoot]

Something something something If I am entirely serious? Maybe "not yet" something, but I can't think of the third word.

[trails]

Sounds plausible, I'm sure Doofus will be along to explain

And behind the 911 is one of those Mercedes where the designer only remembered to bring his set square to work

The R107 SL above is a thing of beauty though

G Wagon has been there nearly a year now...awaiting parts

[DickyC]

Everyone okay with UIAVMM ?

It's a Murray Walkerism.
