Hi Dean. I was only told after I posted to you what they are potentially worth and then put up my ad. As for the price, that's subjective. I do know of someone who has 19s on his W140 but he has never been happy with the ride and, as far as I know, still has them. I have already emailed him to...

Hi all I have the following items that I have been effectively sitting on for far too many years so am putting them out to see if they sell. If they don't then they can sit in storage and I will see how things pan out in coming years. I've shipped them with me in multiple country moves now so...

I have a set (4) of 'new in box' unused 18inch AMG alloys for the W140 if of interest.

Hi. Both are under 10,000 miles (the SL is 8500 or thereabouts and the S is closer to 9700 from memory). And full history (by time) too. That's where I think the value is but also where, if I kept them, they then become a very good example and then eventually just another one as the miles...

Thanks - I hear what you say but I can't see that the demand for the more esoteric of the ICE engines will ever diminish. A small car (and the R129 is nowadays a fairly small car) that has a 6 litre V12, 2+2, very useable boot, a decent folding softop, a plug and play hardtop and with power to...

Hi all. Thanks so much for the comments and information. With the seatbelts, I would prefer to keep it standard and have made up in my mind that the object will be to sell them. With the valuation, I spent the weekend looking at websites and with a stack of magazines. I also called a few...

Hi all. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on this. I have been fortunate enough (I think!) to come across the opportunity to acquire a 1998 SL600 and a 1998 S600L. Both are extremely low miles and one owner. Both are silver and black (and no, he never bought the matching...

Are they still operating? I am living in Dubai now but for some reason though they had closed? You can guess what I am looking for :devil:

Still for sale! Wow. On that basis, I really do think it is SOR with a 'let's see what I can get approach'. That being said, the silly prices for utter junk here in Australia is laughable. I look back at cars for sale at what (in UK terms) are very high prices but are a bargain in Oz terms...

What MB are they for? I have a set (new and used) for a W140

All perspective I suppose. Here in Oz, that would be gone within a day at that price. However....the chance to use even 40% of the performance here is extremely limited. Not that many roads around and draconian enforcement of the limits, anti-social driving, etc etc etc

Overall, I had been pretty lucky with the W140/C140's that I had. The only real money pit (in the sense that it actually consumed maintenance!) was the 1998 S600L that I had. Dropped quite a lot of money on that, including replacing all manner of suspension parts, bushings, mountings etc to...

I am now living in Sydney. I looked at a silver 6.9 back around 1998 or so. It seemed like an ok example but decided not to pursue it. Back in London, the new owner of my S600 bought himself a 6.9 too....excellent fuel bills! I will drop you an email through your website. Cheers

Just saw this thread. I went to see it a few years back when the chap out Gloucester way was selling it. I can't recall who bought it now (the forum member). Decided that not for me but the chap was a decent fellow. Moving to a diesel something or other if I recall

There are one or two on the bay of fleas

I have had the pleasure of both a 2001 and 1998 s600. The feel of the w220 was that of a much cheaper car and the stacks of bills with it was scary (over thirty grand!). My w140 felt a lot more torquier and solid but the handling of the w220 was brilliant. The engine felt more willing to rev...

My god, if I was still in the uk that would be on my driveway immediately. That would be over two hundred thousand Aussie pesos here. *crying eyes out*

I have let the buyer know about this thread in case he wants to resell it.

I put it up for what I paid for it and in the interests of a quick sale (since I have been paying storage costs too) so one less thing for me to worry about.

Thanks - will drop you a PM
