In Belgium, but right hand drive, within thread budget and open to offers. What an epic way to get back home, do we have a thread winner here?

ooo, that MG everyday, what a cracking looking little thing. The place that is selling it would have quite a field day if I won the lottery, they've got quite a few (classic) cars that I've hankered after (lottery winnings in the bank account).

That looks like one of those undersea monsters you see in fish markets from time to time.

Quite funky though. They knocked out some cool stuff in Japan that we never saw. That ad linked me to this

This looks like a dignified and grown-up car. Could be a hoot.

That's lovely. But I had no idea Mercedes made a car to ferry Douglas Bader around in.

It's not a purchase I'd make tomorrow, but if my numbers came up I'd smoke about in it for a week or two until it broke.

Disco in it's purest form, but that engine is utterly pathetic so as anything more than a curiosity to LR beards it seems a bit pointeless. I still really like it though, and if I had money to (very possibly literally) burn I'd do the same.

We all have our own fetish.

I hear some people sell beautiful W124 convertibles and buy fixed hardtop 70s SLs!

I came across your name on a random document today that must have migrated from the SL to the 190 today. Shredded and binned!

A rare manual 280 SLC,




Marginally over the top of budget but you never know...

I always think an MB should be an auto, which is probably why that's rare as everyone else thinks the same?
