After much deliberation I have decided that I need to thin down my collection so I can concentrate on the W116 restoration so sadly the W124 has to go...
Some of you may remember when I bought it at the back end of last year it had been off the road for some time due to the previous owner having given up driving. There were a few things that needed doing for the MOT and it went straight through without any advisories once sorted!
Here is the spec...
1993 'K' 320e auto saloon
Only 71,000 miles from new with full service history
MOT December 2010
6 Months tax
Rosewood metallic paint
Full AMG bodykit including Ducktail boot spoiler
17" geniune AMG alloys with very good tyres
Mushroom leather interior in great condition (piping split on armrest)
Burred walnut trim
Centre storage box
Leather steering wheel
4 X electric windows (all working)
Electric tilt and slide sunroof (fully operational)
Central locking (Fully operational)
Illuminated sun visors
Headlamp wash/wipe
Period Pioneer head unit and 6 disc changer in the boot (fully working)
It had the following work carried out to recomision it last year before the MOT:
Full service inc. all filters
New ATF pipes
ATF fluid change and filter
New copper brake pipes
New brake flexi pipes X 4
New discs and pads all round
Brake fluid change
Coolant change
New battery tray
Alternator
Body wise the car is very straight and solid. The front wings have gone in the usual places, however, I am including a pair of virtually perfect front wings to go with the car.
The rest of the car is in good shape other than it requiring a complete re-paint. This is due to several small areas where the top coat of paint has come off, almost like someone has used paint stripper. This is mainly on the roof, boot lid and rear wings.
I took it in to a friend of mine who owns a bodyshop and he said there was very little work needed to prepare it ready for paint. He quoted me around £800-£1000 inc. (mates rates).
You probably could get away with just re-painting the affected areas, however, with this colour a perfect match is going to prove difficult to achieve without a full re-paint in my opinion.
There is no welding required and no rust to cut out, except for changing over the front wings.
I realise that there are lots of W124's out there,
many of which are in better cosmetic condition than mine. However, this car, with it's very low mileage, rare bodykit and superb smooth drive has the making of an absolute minter when re-painted.
Pricewise I'm looking for offers close to £2000, which I might add is far less than it currently owes me.
Please don't confuse this car with the sort of rubbish you find on ebay most of the time.
I will post up some decent pictures tomorrow.
If you are looking for a nice genuine, unmolested W124 then please come and have a look at this one. I can be contacted on 07802 176664 or send me a PM. The car is located in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex
