1987 280GE previously owned by Stanley Kubric

[leeway12]

I came across an old auction website that had sold off a 1987 Mercedes 280GE that was previously owned by Stanley Kubric.
Is there any chance anyone in this forum knows the current owner and can put me in touch?

Registration number is : E829 CGW

Any help is much appreciated!

1987? Are you sure it's not a 2001 car?

Indeed a very ordinary car for a man like Kubric

What makes you think its a 2001 car? It's a W460 that was only made up to the 90's. G wagon's just kept their shape since the beginning of production

LOL.......2001....think about it.

Not been on the road or had an MOT since March 2020....no insurance either.

Exactly, which is why I think the owner would be open to sell. Really been dreaming of owning this exact car so any leads to the owner would be incredibly valued

Probably been on a bit of an odyssey

As I can find online, it was previously attempted to be sold via Coys car auction which doesn't exist anymore and had another sales attempt in 2019 through eBay. I am not sure if it actually got sold or not as that's around the same time the MOT expired.

Make sure you go and view that with your Eyes Wipe Shut.

So, have you talked to Barons? They listed it September 2018 but either didn't sell it, or sold it off-auction

Thanks for all your input, I have actually managed to track down the owner. It was sold off to a guy in California in 2019 so it's been exported which explains the MOT hasn't updated since 2020.
