I thought I would record the trials and tribulations of buying a car at auction unseen and the enjoyment or pain of getting the car right.
Last week I bought from Brightwells modern classics sale a 89000 CL500 for £2100 plus premium. I did not go and see the car but spoke to Brightwells who verbally did a walk around the car and discussed the paperwork.
I am now on my way by train to Leominster to collect the car.
I own a 1996 Sl600 which I bought when it was 18 months old from an MB dealer so know something about keeping an older car on the road. I also have a 1969 Pagoda 280SL.
I gave bought this CL500 as a daily driver so it remains to be seen what needs to be done to make it that.
Pictures coming later
