Thanks – already bagged that. A really useful site. What I really need now is some people to talk to me about their W108/109 experiences, as detailed in my original post above. R

Thanks for the advice. I've sent a message to the Memb Sec, but am unable to post directly on their site as it's for members only. So still very happy to hear from anyone on this site. Please!

I'm writing a buyers guide on the W108/109 for Classic Cars magazine and would like some input from people who know about these cars so the guide can be as accurate as possible. Part of our guides is an 'owners' experiences' section, where a couple of owners relate the ups and downs of...

Hope tomorrow comes soon – that's all I need to finish the feature now. Thanks Russ

Well as it's you again I could split hairs and point out that the SEC was actually launched at the 1981 Frankfurt Auto Show. But '82 is closer than '79 (that silly copied error again) so I won't...

I'm looking for a 1970s 350SL to take part in a five-car photo shoot for Classic & Sports Car next Monday or Tuesday (Dec 10/11). This is to be for the main feature in the March 2008 issue. No location decided yet, but it is likely to be somewhere in the Home Counties. Fancy a slice of stardom...
