Just out of interest, what would your asking price be? :)

So, when rust has got hold of a 203, it’s got it permanently! And all you can do it cover it over for a winter or two before it returns...I guess the OP must clean his c32 very often to of avoided any rust?!

Was the rusty arch issue an unfixable problem mate?

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. If I become a Merc owner, I probably will join up...but I'm not a Merc owner yet!!

I haven't, is that doable, the site just asks me if I want to become a member?!

Not sure if it's ok to ask here, but...am I right in saying you've got to be a paid up member to get on the forum or Cars for Sale pages on the 'Official Mercedes-Benz Club' site [this one - https://mercedes-benz-club.co.uk]? Bit annoying, as I want to have a butchers at a car I know is for...

Unfortunately, the black Jap import estate [that was on eBay] has sold. I enquired about it a few weeks ago. I'm actually not ready to buy. I have to sell my Forester STi first [which I'm planning to do when lockdown is a bit more over] but as I'll then have to buy a replacement pretty fast...

I'm looking forward to having a good read of this thread. The amount the OP has spent over the time he's had the car is a tad scary [and unlucky I guess].

I don't mind the colour - certainly stands out as you don't really see E55's in white. However, what a crap advert. The chap is trying to sell a car that has a very limited market, and being an import it may ever be harder to sell...and he can't be bothered writing a detailed ad, listing every...

Yeah I think ideally I’d want an AMG but I’m just keeping my options open, as when I get round to putting my current car up for sale and it sells, I’d need to find a replacement pretty fast. There’s a curtain 2007 E500 saloon up for sale on here and it just got me thinking, if I was to buy that...

Caffeine & Machine is an automotive themed pub in Warwickshire. It’s always nice to pull up in a car that you can have a good chat about (as per my Forester STi) - Home - Caffeine & Machine

May be the same issue? I've read that the later XFR's may of had an updated tensioners/chain etc but my budget would put me in a 2009-11 car, so is something to consider. Here's just one thread about it - 5.0 Supercharged Chain Tensioner Recommendation - Page 1 - Jaguar - PistonHeads

Ah yes, I have heard good things about The Jag Specialist.

I spotted that one on AT too...the saloon doesn’t quite have the same attraction to me!

Very true, it would all come down to budget. I think wheels and exhaust would help separate it from ‘lesser’ 211’s, and perhaps make it worthy of a parking spot at say somewhere like Caffeine & Machine. I wonder what aftermarket wheels would suit a black 211 without making it look ‘chav’ (do...
