As promised....that Brunei SL AMG again

[mercboiuk]

I started this thread last year about a R129 SL AMG.

It was a Sultan of Brunei car, blue on blue and priced on PistonHeads for around £12k, IIRC.

I discovered a couple of months ago that MCP Motorsport in Norfolk had purchased the car.
The vehicle was having a couple of interior repairs and a wheel refurbishment. I discovered this, because the car was being serviced by my Merc Specialist - small world, eh?!
They told me that the car would be up for sale again, before too long.

Well, here it is again! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/874321.htm

Now, I know it's a superb, low mileage example, but surely it can't be worth that much of a mark up! Facelift car don't even fetch that much!

Outrageous price, and horrible wheels on it now.

 

[JasM]

Also i don't like the interior.

They are SL55 wheels

Which is why people are queuing up to buy it-not!; just like the 190 Evo they have had for sale forever...good luck to them but it would have to be a real LOMBARD who purchases it.

It may be expensive, but it's supposedly depreciation proof!!

I wonder if the seller would guarantee it?

No need, the government already guarantees up to £50k of our investment savings

Probably worth about £10K. £35K is cloud cuckoo land.

one pic has one set of wheels, another has another set of wheels.

reading the ad its the turbine wheels on it now and the other set come with it

overpriced .. and the R230 do not suit it at all

 

[A210AMG]

Looks horrible and those early SL55 alloys look naff.


Would like to see the pictures of the 2.5.16V Evo II its parked next to.

Search the 190 section on pistonheads classified.

As said above, will sit next to the 190E for god knows how long on there forecourt/showroom

 

[The G.F.P]

good to see they are still giving out crack free on the NHS

thats the only explanation i can see for that thing being £35k

 

[stats007]

Hilarious price. It doesn't matter who owned it or it's history - it's not worth a penny more than £20k even if mint.

Surely his prices are in dream land?

Do people pay them?

I know, and I don't even like them on the SL55.

 

[BTB 500]

Wonder why it needed "suspension/alignment set up" ...
