Just revisiting this one, as I randomly logged onto eBay and Autotrader to see if any of the SL65's were still for sale.....all of them are sold now. I still have something of a soft spot for them though, so who knows what the future holds. In the end, I feel like I made the right decision and...

Thanks guys 🙌 Hmm seems like a bit of a fruitless one, this. I might well have to just bite the bullet and buy a good (but ultimately tired) unit from eBay Germany.

Hey guys, the supercharger on my E55K seems to be on it's way out. It's doing the dreaded continual squeak - we suspect it's the rear bearings that apparently are unserviceable according to what the interweb has told me in the past, but perhaps things might have changed in recent years that I'm...

Recent sales that we know of in the UK have been either a lot less for the same sort of miles (let's be honest, mileage tends to be the bottom line with high value cars) and the ones that have sold for around £55k, have either been in the 20-30k mile range, or a full 2009 facelift. That and the...

Hey chaps, gosh this is such a faff. I really do want the car, but I refuse to overpay for it (well, so I say for the moment). I spoke to the seller again and he insists he wont budge. I said I'll have a final think about it this weekend and let him know by Tuesday. If we can't agree a price by...

Ok so, I've decided to up my budget and consider this one instead: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185709703556 But....it's a BIT steep at £55k. Stunning yes and semi-facelift yes and 45k miles yes.....but £55k? I've been doing lots of research on market values and checking sale prices on...

Yeah no, I think they're standard on the 65 model, but some 55K cars have them as a factory option.

As per the title, I'm debating treating myself to one of these, but am I going to curse my very existence with frequent repair bills? I don't know too much about the engines in these other than the coilpacks are very expensive and sold per bank to solve misfires, but apart from that, you don't...

As per the title, is anybody selling a set? Ideally a kerbed/rough set needing refurb, as I plan to molest them.

Thanks guys :) I actually bought the car for my brother as a gift and now the car is his now. However what I did was get my local fabricator to cook up new sills and the floor, because I was on a tight deadline to make it for his birthday. I believe it's the 115 engine - the one with the carb...

Thank you guys, super super helpful!! ok I'll have a go at the steering box adjustment this weekend then as it seems to be super simple. I'l have a look under the hood at the brake fluid and report back shortly. And yes it's very under powered, but at the same time, I think anything from that...

Whoop! Just bought a 230C and it's quite nice believe it or not. Tidy little car. needs a bit of work, so let's get started... I am in need of full sills for both sides from front to back...I hear that there's an aftermarket supplier for these....? Any pointers? The steering is appallingly...

February bump. Happy to do a deal at a good price if anybody is genuinely interested and wants to save me the hassle of doing pre-sale prep and sorting the little bits out before actively trying to sell via online channels in April.

I've owned this car for over 5 and a half years and have probably spent well over 10k to restore it to it's current level, yet only covered around 8000 miles during my ownership. A lot of the items on the car below are fresh and have covered around 5000 miles, tops, as I think I started doing...

Hi folks, I'm seriously contemplating getting a W123 coupe to restore and get fairly close to mint. My intention is to do most of the work myself, like welding on the underside, re-spray on the outside, general suspension refresh and basic engine tlc (oil leaks, vacuum leaks, fuel set up etc...
