Best smoker barges 1-5 large [vol8]
Discussion
Could be tempted..... Just bagged my self a R129 for a smidge over thread budget.
2 owners, full history, original purchase docs the lot. Azurite blue, beige/mushroom interior, pano roof V6. Tried for a V8 but soon discovered the 500s I'd want are rapidly exiting my budget.
I was sorely tempted by an early blue 500 in Devon, I think still for sale, but in the end realised I just cannot get on with the two tone paint.
Funny how my priorities changed over the searching. Started V8 with pano, moved to very late I6's and not fussed with pano, settled on V6 with pano!!! The one constant throughout though was as I already own a silver Mercedes with black interior I didn't want another and I walked away from a couple of very nice R129s because of that.

129 SL owners - anyone planning to attend the MB Club SL event and parade lap at Silverstone on 25 July?
Might we see a barge-ist contingent?

Congratulations, if this trend continues, this thread will have the entire UK stock of 129s. 2 owners, full history, original purchase docs the lot. Azurite blue, beige/mushroom interior, pano roof V6. Tried for a V8 but soon discovered the 500s I'd want are rapidly exiting my budget.

Looks cracking in red.Looks lovely Mr Orange!
Merc beards, a couple of questions if I may:
Touch up paint for the grey bumpers, where from?
My cigarette lighter socket isn't quite deep enough for secure connections and the actual lighter gets stuck in the fully depressed position in it. Thoughts?
Textured read bumper moulding strip, where can I find one cheaper than MB?
Many thanks.
Also, If anyone finds this, but in mushroom somewhere e.g German ebay, I will love you forever:

God that S8 looks good
Thanks fella I'm picking it up in a couple of hours time after all the servicing work has completed -hopefully they'll have a seat ready for me to sit down on before hitting me with the bill
Due to the alternator being on back order from Audi GmbH it's been at the garage longer than Its been on the driveway !

Thanks. Couple from Autotrader.The antenna mast will just need cleaning.
Edit: cripes, I have found the ad and that is a steal.

Any thoughts on this 500?

I like the silver/black combination.
