Arrived from Japan - 1992 SL500

[Borys]

Just arrived.
90K kilometers, Brabus kitted - needs some tlc but it was a steal.
We want to get it to showroom condition.
Shame I don't fit in it would keep it for myself
A bit dirty on pics

Nice

Are there a lot of left hookers in Japan, I thought like us they were a RHD country?

I believe LHD is seen as a bit of a status symbol rather than a common or garden RHD.

LHD is seen as 'gangster' in Japan.
Could even be an ex gangster car.

there are some gorgeous sl r129's that have come to england.that will sell well after a spruce up.i like how the exhaust sits out of the bumper good luck with it

 

[bigmacplease]

I think once that has a good clean it will look great

 

[Borys]

Yep
Clean is a must!!!
I'm not planning to sell in UK - Germany is the place to go

 

[Doodle]

Don't fit? Jeez dude, how big are you?

I'm 6'3 (on a good day) and with a 58" chest, and I'm ok in mine.

Small man! These cars are no good for good European Breading Stock. Such a pity; still waiting for MB to produce a proper full sized convertible, they say the latest SL may be what we are looking for with proper head and leg room......??

 

[dinoy]

how much did it cost and shipping import etc any sl60 about

 

[W2--]

Those exhaust pipes look very familiar, hmm... oh yeah from the back of the stagecoach.

 

[Borys]

Do you know BRABUS, check price for this back boxes, if you find them.
Last time on German ebay 750 euros didn't win it for me :-O

You're right. Who would want to buy let alone import a bog standard and battered 500 with WALD front end and side cladding and Brabus rear end? That's some taste.

 

[Borys]

Thank you for making my day,top man
Still think for 1800£ was worth it :-0

 

[Alex]

You get what you pay for. The car was likely involved in the accident, hence the mismatched body kit. Germans will spot the fake too.

Enjoy.
