I sold my R129 last year after a few unsatisfactory experiences & went back to a R170 320 which feels like coming home :-) The next upgrade will be to the R230 but there is plenty of life left in this one. I guess the one from HPL is adequate if you are looking for a basic deflector for the...

A set in Surrey Hi If I manage to pick them up from the garage, have a set of refurbished AMG 17" alloys from my prev car, contact me for details. Surrey or Kent.

R170 or 171? I am looking too, & am considering having one made for my R170, contact me if interested.

PM me please Hi As you probably won the Witter towbar off Ebay against me, might buy it off you as I need a bike carrier for the R170. Witter did indeed do a towbar for the R170 but the car is not recommended for towing heavy objects & there is a OEM towbar for the R171.

Well, what do you expect from someone who uses the nick ??? LOL, was an impulse buy at auction, I went expecting to buy a CLK / S class saloon / other convertible but lets just say the economics of this made a compelling case. A few minor fixes needed to my eye, all Bill has said at the...

Thanks. Have dropped the car off at Bill Schraeder's in Billericay for an inspection & service. Am waiting for his report but initial impressions are quite good.

I have just this week bought a 1992 R129 300SL-24 as my replacement car after selling my SLK earlier. Located in Epsom, Surrey. Is anyone with a similar car able to advise me / assist / look it over as I am new to the classic car game?

Thanks Sean See, he knows a good car when he sees one, pity no one from here was interested in buying it. :( Oh well, auction winner picks it up next week so lets see what happens.

My SLK 230 was the original model & just sold on eBay. It is a tourer, not a sports car & it does that job very well. The only thing I would change would be the MB customer experience, public flogging is too good for them. I mean both dealers & MB UK.

Good thing I didn't delete his bid, appears genuine, apparently was Googling for SLK's tonight & had never used eBay before. Hopefully all will go well.

I hope the zero rated bidder whose bids I am (was, he has now contacted) about to cancel after emailing him twice and giving him a deadline to contact me by & who hasnt followed any of my conditions as detailed in the description isnt from here! I should think not, why oh, why do people not...

Last day Bump, for those interested, certainly have been enough views of the auction.

Buyer pulled out! Claims cashflow probs, so back below reserve. Anyone else interested in a bargain?

The reserve is what a dealer offered me. I will wait it out but don't generally quote the reserve too high to avoid scaring people away. I agree re the AMG bits but that is the whole point, am willing to wait till there is a discerning buyer. Am not aware of too many (well, any to me but...

I am running out of time, was hoping for the car to fetch more than it is currently at. Similar cars on Autotrader in excess of £16500, much more at MB dealers. Can a charitable soul provide a valuation, inc the optional fitments? My SLK on eBay.
