I saved this car from London where it had been sat on the street for 3 years getting very little use (c.500 miles a year) after the owner fell ill, with the intention of using it as a stop gap until my newly ordered BMW is delivered. Why get something new and boring when cars like this are...
Would any one be intrested in any bits from a very clean 300se, engine is damaged but its a full clean car, be a shame to just scrap the whole car when theres so many good bits on it
Morning all. Have a new toy to tinker with! I dragged a 1989 300SE out of a London garage on thursday from where it had been sat for 3 years. It Flew through its MOT with no advisories even!
When I picked up the car, the seller mentioned that if it ever failed to start then remove the fuel...
I've just been to stock up on important items (beer) and on a nice long stretch of road I flicked the cruise on. All was well for a mile or so but then the cruise decided to switch its self off. (Maybe it's very clever and realised I was getting close to the shop)
Shop done and back driving...

Hello,
I have been offered a Carat Duchatelet 300SE from a friend. What are they worth?
I'll probably buy it as know the history and previous two owners well, as I will store it and take it to shows infrequently.

Hi everyone, I'm new!
I'm thinking of buying a w126 and would be grateful for any tips, what to look for, if it's a good choice for a daily driver etc? I have other cars so it won't be covering big miles.
Thanks,
Billy
Hi all, been searching the web for someone who's seen this problem before. I was adjusting the air fuel mixture on my 300SE and the engine cut out when pushing the allen key down on the spring (adjusting screw on top of metering head). Now the engine will not start. I think I might have made the...
I had a W126 500SE for 2 years a few years ago - loved it. Thinking its time for another W126.
Wondering if this time I should try 300SE for economy reasons.
What is the real out of town A/B road MPG of the 300SE compared with the 500SE?
I'm worried the 300SE will feel underpowered...

Hi, I wonder if some-one might be online who would know what is going on under my 300se. It is an '89 300se and when I parked it this evening and got out, with the engine still running, I could hear what seems to be an air leak somewhere around the rear axle on the drivers [left hand side...
