very very nice indeed

 

[d w124]

They`ve had a few of these already,this is the third or fourth

 

[grober]

I would ---- Speedo may need recalibration/replaced? Aircon refrigerant may need updated? but minor quibles.

 

[martin_a]

Speedo would want shifting to mph and miles rather than km I'd think. With a lot of them it can be done electronically, this might be a bit old for that.

Also it should be limited to 180kmh but the speedo change would stop that.

Someone has paid a lot of money to keep this going through the sha'ken test each year.

As usual for a Jap import no mentioned of service history though. Most indicate low miles but can't verify it.

W124 Estate

The "Bornite" car has 63,000 miles and does look very competitively priced at £5k, the company also has a "Silver" 280 estate with black leather showing 79,600 miles price £6k. They normally deal in R129 models and I have actually seen one of their SL500s' also in Bornite and it was absolutely stunning, the service history was up to date however it was in Japanese. As you will see from their ad.the company (Mayfair Cars) are based near Durham, from time to time they get very low mileage SL600s'.
I have no connection with this company but from what I have seen they offer excellent cars.

Unusually though for a Jap import it's RHD, as is the silver one

 

[brucemillar]

Aren't all Japanese cars RHD?

[grober]

Many early Japanese Mercedes were LHD - evidently having a luxury marque LHD car in a nation of RHD cars was regarded as a bit of status symbol--- go figure!

 

[BTB 500]

Yup as above expensive European cars were almost always ordered as LHD (even though they drive on the right) to make it really obvious that they were an 'exotic' import.

Maybe 124 estates were considered too mundane to merit this approach though.

 

[LawrenceMB]

New Zealand gets flooded with Japanese imports & they're invariably RHD.
Speaking of 'flooding' - my only concern with a Jap import now would be; has it had a Sunami pass through it?

 

[Buster'stheboy]

How come it's so new-looking underneath? Don't they have salt on the roads in Japan?

 

[brucemillar]

I mailed the seller and got a very polite mail back. He spends ages preparing his cars for sale (this being no exception) Great looking car and a good price.
