Price now just £3995, I'll keep it otherwise. Tim

Yes Laptimer works perfectly, in fact there is nothing that doesn't work. I've had a bit of interest, no one has come to see it yet though. Tim

Interior pictures now added ;)

Hi there I was going to refurbish them and fit them but insurance aren't going to play ball so I'll be keeping my car standard for the time being! They have no tyres fitted, so ideal for refurbishing. Some photo's, they're a bit dusty from storage but I think these really want...

Looks lovely :thumb: I remember seeing this particular example on Barons website a few months ago, unfortunately I couldn't make the viewing day to have a look! Don't think it sold either, estimate was £37000-£40000 Barons Auctioneers Previous owner had it 31 years! Tim

More just a lurker, I adore split rims and various other alloys that are a bit different. I find wheel choice for the Mercedes 190 is a bit limited unless you start rolling the arches/using wheel spaces. Ideally I'll like a set of splits but just a bit too expensive for me at the mo and...

How about a set of Mercedes Alphards, one of the coolest wheel Mercedes ever produced. merc alphards....bit different from the norm - Wheel Sanctuary by Wheel-Whores.com Tim

Thanks for that, anything to distract me from revision is welcomed! Tim

Speaking from experience, Fully Comprehensive you're unlikely to get it much less than £2k, on passing my test at 17 I was insured on my dads Renault Modus and that was getting on £2k with direct line Might be worth trying ACORN insurance group, 01704 834 001. They insured me at 18 on my...

Lovely SL, if it were mine I'd probably have kept the rear spoiler as I like 80s tat like that! Looks great either way though. Tim

Yep, standard on all models. Although it's not uncommon to see it removed and replaced with standard suspension as per the 2.3 16 that was 'restored' in wheeler dealers. On the EVO I and EVO II models the SLS was adjustable and also on the front suspension. I believe it was an option on other...

I used to have a Remus exhaust on my 1.8, it did sound good! How did you find the fitment, I didn't cut my rear bumper so it never sat quite right. Pics of my 2.5 16, yeah sure: Tim

Nautic blue is reasonably rare I think and always look great in the sun. Mercedes did two blacks a Schwarz 040 (Black) and Blauschwarz (Blue-Black) 199. The Blue-Black 199 is quite often seen on the 2.3 16 and the 2.5 16... Mercedes 190e is an invaluable source of information on 190s...

Cheers for that, just bought them. If they don't cover the W201 I'll stick'em back on ebay. Tim

It should be on the bottom left of the data plate. A 3 letter number e.g. 199 (Blue black) 744 (Brilliant Silver) etc Or just enter your VIN number into this VIN decoder and it'll tell you the colour it left the factory in: Mercedes-Benz Club Russia | Mercedes-Benz / VIN I think yours...

I like that a lot! Bonnet Bulge lets it down a bit though, wonder how much that set the owner back... Tim

When in Norwich I used Autotechnic for anything required on my 2.5 16, I've only used them twice so far but both times have been more than satisfied with the quality of the work carried out. Labour rates seem reasonable to me but then I'm used to Surrey prices! Tim

They currently have a LHD 1970 Mercedes 280SE on ebay: LHD 1972 Mercedes 280se V8 Classic on eBay (end time 18-Apr-10 02:49:57 BST) I did wonder if the place was worth a visit! Tim

I know he has bought cars from Barons Auction house in Esher before, but most aren't from there so he must attend other classic car auctions as well. As he's in the trade I imagine he as access to a whole host of cars that private buyers don't. With this particular car he talks about it's...
