' .... Very reasonable reserve price as fitted with non standard 6 Cylinder carburated engine ( believed 280S engine) .... '

 

[KillerHERTZ]

You have to love that shape.

My brothers W108 280S (See my sig) will be getting a full respray as soon as we can source one more wing.

All the doors and bodywork have already been professionally de-rusted

 

[Dieselman]

That looks quite a nice 'Summer floater' and could be a decent investment........well, compared to houses at the moment.


And todays topical quiz.
What's the Merc in the background in 3rd picture down.?

 

[jaymanek]

R230

 

[Howard]

R230 Sl

 

[janner]

Sub Zero

 

[V8mate]

Very, very tempting....

 

[neilrr]

has he glued a repeater to the flank above the rear wheel or did they come like that?

 

[grober]

Non original so not worth much except as a summer runabout or a basis for a proper restoration. £2,000 max.

£2000 max ??????

The bumpers alone on this car costs more than £2000 !!

Where on earth did that valuation come from ???

 

[jaymanek]

yeh i was thinking it it goes for 2K, im HAVING it! dont care if the bumpers came off apolo 13, it looks a million $

 

[BlackC55]

Mmmmmm.
Am thinking E55 swap

 

[Mark300SL]

Mmmmmm.
Am thinking E55 swap

I was thinking Talbir and a V8 conversion
He likes his later 119 engine conversions so he probably has a few older V8's knocking about

 

[Dieselman]

Could drop a nice 300 Turbodiesel engine in there...











I'll get me coat.......

All that black smoke, oil leaks and smell. It just would not be cricket would it.
