    RHD SL73 AMG Value

    Wow! 6 years later... But what a car.

    This is a new one for me, I don't have it on the list I kept in the past. @JimmyV3103 had the only 11 plate I'd ever seen advertised!

    Help with valuing an S560Le

    I'm keen on views on what the value of an S560Le should be - trade sale, 3 years old, 30k miles, black, fairly standard spec (they are high spec as standard anyway), FMBSH. CAP says £46k for trade, current listings on Autotrader vary wildly with high-mileage ones asking £42-43k and two...

    Bit harsh.

    People used to do that on French Autoroutes as speeding tickets were based on time stamps at the Peage. Pass a toll gate, hammer it to the next services for a break, then pass leisurely through the next toll gate.

    Which one do you have? There have been a few sold recently, a silver one, a green one, the brown one. I've lost track a bit, but used to know which was where!

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    I'm curious about where you were. Driving on the left, but with a Danish/Norwegian letter on the numberplate?

    Stop expanding the ULEZ to all the London boroughs in 2023

    It's the tube that does it - lots of dust, which has a larger particle size than exhaust fumes.

    Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

    I had a similar experience with a 52-seater coach that was parked up and appeared to be being lived in.

    Yes, had plenty of phone calls this last week, and a very nice gent just closed the deal this afternoon. I guess the rarity helps, plus the full history seemed to be appealing.

    Brabus CLS

    I was getting confused between the two! And hadn't realised that any Brabus is based on a donor car that has to be registered first. Sounds like a costly business to commission a new Rocket.

    Brabus CLS

    To my mind, the giveaway of it being a fake is that the DVLA record lists it as 5462cc and 275g/km CO2. Those are the figures of an M273 5.5 V8, so the car presumably started life as a CLS500. Edit: oh, on second thoughts though... maybe all Brabus cars start out as factory standard and only...

    Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

    On double-yellows in Westminster!? I thought they towed cars within hours? It's a shame really, CLK500s must be quite rare.

    Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

    I'm interested to see on the sign that it has a 2.5 diesel with 110hp! That has to be a later transplant, as the first land rovers had 50hp petrol engines, and no diesel option until the 50's. They were very sedate vehicles probably incapable of motorway speeds. By contrast, a series 1 with...

    s212 e500, I know these are scarce but..

    Funny coincidence! The model Y has the advantage of being the only EV that can just about match the boot space of the S212 and at the same time match the torque of the E500, so it does make sense that I'm not alone in taking that direction. I'm interested in whether your friend's E500 estate...
