"Ordered from Mercedes Swindon via designo special order devision, with factory collect option, ordered in Amg night black ( code 040) this is the only w163 ml 55 ordered from the factory in this colour ! The body work is rust free ( due to being in covered storage for a period of time) the only part that has been painted on the car is the bonnet, this was due to a nasty splat of bird dropping in the middle, the paint work was carried out by Mercedes and is flawless , there are three other marks around the car that remain but in my opinion don’t detract from the originality of the car , hence why I have not had them painted, the car is highly original and better kept that way, the bodywork has been three stage machine polished, fusso waxed and carbon collective ceramic coated, different in the point that it is not metallic and special order paint ( via designo) standard fitted amg bodykit which gives it a very aggressive stance.

On a scale of Prius to E65, how likely is it that one of these would throw up repair bills that exceed the fuel cost?I'd struggle to find a better place to park £3.5k and have it v8 powered.
How's about an R129 SL500 for half thread max?

They’re pretty tough. The 5.7 can lose a valve seat which is “not ideal” and it’s pot luck. There is a reader’s ride thread on one. I'd struggle to find a better place to park £3.5k and have it v8 powered.
The previous generation (WJ) went up to a 4.7 and that is meant to be better built. US stuff tend to do huge mileages back home so are pretty rugged.

G got us to our overnight stop in Oundle. Boy was the A1 tediously busy. We ought to be able to do this journey in 3 hours but it took 4.5. Too late for dinner sadly. G behaved itself though slipped into limp home a mile out of town. Hopefully it’ll be ok when restarted tomorrow. I love driving. Speed limits really are the pits though.
We need to be in Poole for 1pm tomorrow and we were both working until 4 today so we had to stop somewhere. This is a little over halfway, it’s a potential school for the young r129sls (who screamed from the back seat every 30 seconds, “why won’t he get out of our way!”) so it’s an opportunity to get them used to the town and the idea.
You can kill me later.
