That is a good point.
It seems that a lot of mainland Europeans are finding our cars very cheap because of the exchange rate, and they are buy quantities of our cars.
Apparently a right hand car in mainland Europe has Kudos .

You hardly use yours
Mine was perfect when I bought it 2.5 years and 27k miles ago, the plastic piping started to split within a few months and has now gone in various places. The odd thing is, if it was UV degradation, why doesn't it affect the seat piping, something to do with the chemicals in the left elbow....

Badly specced? Leather, aircon, cruise, sportline, 5-speed, heated seats, wind deflector, what else is there apart from electric seat adjustment?

It's seems to be a different material - the armrest is a brittle grained rigid plastic, the seats appear to be more of a smooth polyurethane flexible type.
Anyway, if you look at Ironside's other stock, a far better bet is the Pagoda for the same price or a far better specified 1993 A124 0n 40k miles for a realistic £17950 - even if it's not such an attractive colour.

But you cannot take your friends with you on a nice summer's day to Ascot or Henley.
Quality (proper) 4 seaters really are a rarity.

My armrest piping is like new at 120,000 miles and 13 years. Maybe yours is made from the same material as the engine loom sheathing
Hmmm...
My 1998 CL500 will be going into the local rag at £175,000
Absolute madness
I love the C140 series coupes and even if I had last weeks Euromllions sitting in my bank account, rather than some in Spain (!!! curse you!!!), I would not part with more than £20,000 for one and that would be for the CL70 RHD which is rarer than two McLaren F1's having a head on towing caravans.
Still, someone may take it.

You need MB-TEX.
200,000 and the armrest is in mint condition without any cracks, tears, or piping split
