Best smoker barges 1-5 large [Vol 14]
Discussion
Sensational colour and the best wheels ever fitted. What a beaut.
I find the sellers assertion that 'the leather is in exceptional condition' perhaps a little truth-stretching.
The photo of the pile of 'service history' is a little dispiriting, also. An invoice from Demon Tweeks, a DVLA form for assigning a cherished plate, eBay and ECP invoices and a 5 year old tax disc aren't particularly reassuring or impressive, are they?
The situation with the stick-on badges would be easily and quickly remedied, hopefully
Still love it. Did I mention the colour was sensational, or that I liked the wheels?
(I'm talking about the blue one, not the one directly above. Which is also pretty tasty, at a glance. Of the first photo.)

A few weeks ago, happenstance brought about a W202 C250 Turbodiesel. I bought it from an old boy that lives locally to me, who has owned it since new. It's done 90k and has been maintained by MB Chesterfield (the supplying dealer) and the little garage up the road from me that does all of my MOTs - so it couldn't be more of a known car if it tried. I've been using it for the last few weeks and its superb, good for cruising at altitude, cold air con and has returned me over 40mpg.
I intended to keep it and just use it as a sort of car for everything, low running costs and so on. However, my W123 comes back from paint today, being swapped for the 300TD which is to be painted, my SL is undergoing major borkage repair and the G Wagen has been living elsewhere for a while as I'm totally out of space. Keeping the W202 is beginning to seem completely daft. I've had it serviced, fitted four new Dunlop's and am going to have it machine polished. The bodywork is very good for one of these, especially a late one! Any takers?

Adopting the same practice would see me in jail by lunchtime, such is my luck.
