C124 220 No Reserve

Very true Michael. Looks a pretty straight motor with an honest description too.
 
Is this car owned by the OP? Just wondering.
 
Well spotted Sir. Only two posts and he is advertising. Same user name as ebay handle.
 
im not understanding the interior seats for an N reg. Has it had an interior swap/ re trim at some point?

Looks like a retrim to me, and if I'm not mistaken (it has been known) those are the earlier type of 15 hole alloy with the oval holes rather than rectangular.
 
I would have thought the seats are off a pre facelift? Its not so much the piping its the actual seat stiching design. Facelift seats are different


Yes and the alloys are the earlier type.

Yes it is my car, sorry if I have broken any rules in posting it on here but thought it could be of interest to members looking for a decent project.

With regard to the interior a look at the vin decode suggests its original, perhaps a runout upgrade especially given the spec. Have a look for yourselves:

Sold mine on eBay (same colour, age and engine), absolutely knackered, and got £990. 3 Polish men came round, quite young, to collect it - not to break it and ship it abroad, but to restore it over here! Still road registered and insured. I was really worried it would be broken, but it seems people prefer to use them as projects

If you look in my post/thread history you'll see what a state it was in when sold

The trick is to include absolutely ever little fault in your listing and make it unbearably wrong - people will buy without bothering to read through it (my buyers admitted to finding the listing too long and not really reading much of it, but I told them all the faults when they arrived and they still bought it).

It say`s nothing about the car having leather seats
 
005 test dept. Untertuerkheim, trial

lol - that indicates it was a car that was taken at random from the line of produced cars and given a roadtest at Untertuerkheim.

As dash says this car has had the leather interior installed from another car

Then why is it under interior?

Genuine question, I'm going on what I was told on another MB owners forum.
