That C126 looks stunning. Certainly the pick of those two.

It's a W221. The C216 is the coupe based on the W221.

The SEC looks so cool in that colour but in my mind I'm already trying to figure out what the driver's seat, passenger door and wood trim replacement would cost and that's just from seeing the pictures! These require proper investment to keep in good nick I suppose. Wonder what the reserve's been set at, probably not cheap either. Would love one but running costs must rival a Maserati these days.

Look again, it is indeed the C126 being referenced and not the uglier, later saloon.

Aah indeed. My eyes were bedazzled by the beauty on my driveway.

I was at a physical car auction in the mid noughties. The Auctioneers late X300 went through. It was bid to £2200 something. It reappeared on a dealers forecourt for about £5500.

Looks nice but I'll never understand why so few got heated seats in their 7 series, especially when ticking other expensive options.

S class with years MOT for a grand anyone? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202603040...

From them a summer smoker. A4 cab 3.0 V6 asking just over half thread. Shame it’s resale silver but the interior makes a change from black.

Surely, SURELY that's got to be a bargain? The 320 is a mile muncher, and at that mileage it will have had everything replaced that is likely to fail??


ETA WTF is going on in the background? That poster? The weird car with running boards? The posho horsebox?

The vintage style one is either a niche retro style car from the 80s/90s which escapes me, might be a Panther but I don’t think so, or else there was a kit you could get that bizarrely used Mini doors. As per that one often seen as wedding cars.
