Hasn't that been on ebay a while back or was it pistonheads?

Thanks for the link Jay.
I've spent the last 2 1/4 hrs looking at cars and bikes I wouldn't mind buying

If "the SEC man" says it's cheap, it's cheap! Grab a bargain.

As you say convert back to orginal and that assuming engine / underneath looks ok then at 3K is does seem quite good.

85K although its condition / apperance I guess at this type of car des sound low?

Isn't a 'whale tail' a term of reference to slightly exposed ladies?

what's happening with the front bumper...looks like the fog lamps are after the event cut outs ?

wheels are totally wrong offset....8 + 10Js on the car and the whole thing would loook mighty as is.

Super colour and a nice steering wheel - Cart Duchatelet fitted them on w126 models aplenty.

I just googled (images) "'whale tail'"

A whole new world...

I thought it refered to a spolier on the old 911's (turbos)


I must have lead a sheltered life

 

[BaldGuy]

thx 210... I did the same and have now had to delete the IE7 last looked at settings as its a work laptop.....

 

[Gucci]

Sorry ....kind of

 

[jaymanek]

its actually advertised on the website two or threee times/// each listing has different pics and price!

3k is the best though..

I actually like the looks of that car.
I certainly like the model
And I definitley like the price.

Anyone in Essex willing and able to give it a looking over for me while I decide whether to have a stupid moment or not ?

The fact you are even thinking about it tells the story - see you at the June GTG in an SEC?

I reckon you would suit that car Ray!

If you can hold on for a short while you may be able to get your hands on an E320 Coupe.

Lets see what happens.

SEC is much classier (IMHO!)

However, you have to visit the Petrol Station half as much with the 124

I've always wanted a 560 SEC but I couldn't run one for the forseeable future.

Maybe once I have a big garage I might ask Jay if I can buy his!

Yup - he is from Yorkshire after all....

And I'm Glaswegian so between the two of us that's a pretty tight ass!


NO innuendo implied or intented - before someone starts!

Ray,

if you are thinking about it contact the seller and ask him about service history, rust under rear parcel shelf and if anything needs doing to make it perfect?

It looks very very nice but the fact that he couldnt be bothered to run a hose over the engine and has taken pictures in a muddy yard may say something... but equally may not..

On the face of it, nothing to lose at 3K..

I could have a look for you Ray if it is not too far away from my yard.
Was considering it myself too
