I think i'm going to go to the police and report him as a missing person.
What do you all think?

After buying a W126 the last thing you will be itching to do is getting on a computer...
They are addictive and i bet he's out giving it the beans with that lovely V8.

Tied to a chair in some run down barn, in the middle of nowhere, with a posh old sounding girl, whose turned out to be some mad dominatrix with a cat-of-nine-tails in her hand.

Whatever you do - do not start your search for jontyash by googling "dominatrix granny"...

My missus was looking over my shoulder when reading this post and has gone mad at being labelled with a Dutch not Danish beer!

this monitoring of jonty's whereabouts in the W126 is tiring, but I guess we have to keep at it.....

I know we are joking about this but does anyone actually know the op. Might be worth a quick call.

If not - might be worth contacting the seller on eBay... she may be willing to confess.... (now, I'm not suggesting anyone impersonate eBay in an attempt to get information

Hi all....this is the definitive update of what happened this weekend - you must accept my humblest apologies for not replying sooner but all will become clear...
First and foremost - What a car, what a car, what a car!!! I absolutely bl*ody love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may not be perfect but it's 100% mine and I'm chuffed to bits about it!
I got the owner to pick me up from the local train station with my wife which was quite frightening when a big South African chap turned up... alarm bells were ringing.
Anyway - contrary to popular belief, he didn't "put us in the boot and re-list the car" which I must admit I was quite pleased about! (Very funny reading the comments above this morning.)
The car had a bit more rust than they'd let on but it still looks great and everything worked inside the car just like they said in the ad. The engine sounds a little "tappety" which I think I'll get checked out but to be honest, for £791 I reckon I got a bargain!!!!
Anyway - none of that matters one tiny little bit...the key point my merc mad friends is that the wife loves it...absolutely loves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No sleeping on the drive for me!!! Phew!! :bannana::bannana::bannana::bannana:
She loved it so much, we decided to "go on a run" with the new motor and headed to Brighton for the night to stay in a hotel...
I don't know if it was the hum of the 5 litre V8.....or the softness of the cream leather...or the heated seats which Amanda particularly liked....whatever it was, suffice it to say, I'm very very glad I bought the Merc regardless of how it performs or how much it costs me in the future.
We had such a great time, we didn't get home till gone midnight last night and I was so exhausted I didn't update you all. For that I can only apologise profusely!
All in all - chuffed to bits! I'll upload some pics later today so you can all see her.
Also - I'd like to start getting quotes for the work that needs doing so if anyone knows a good rust repair place near me and more importantly, a good merc engine specialist that's not main stealer prices - please let me know. I'm in Fleet, Hampshire.
Thanks all for getting involved, it made a Monday morning extremely enjoyable reading all your comments! :bannana::bannana::bannana:
