change the wheels please but otherwise a nice example.

 

[Blackman]

That is one MASSIVE spec. Surely worth a "few" quid

Funny looking exhaust?

Funny-looking wheels
Funny-looking bonnet star
Funny-looking passenger door

Funny looking leather.

Those wheels are crepe.

Rear exhaust box is hanging loose. wheels are rubbish. All the photos are taken to show very little close up detail. Front seats are in very bad condition. Roof does not look quite right. Passenger door is either part open or has dropped. It also look a different paint shade

looks very tired, and I don't think David Bailey would suggest a muddy field for a photo shoot!!!

Passenger door is either part open or has dropped.

Passanger door is not part opened or dropped... Its fully shut and aligned up correct, but the lower plastic cladding has one or more of its retaining clips missong hence its not sitting flush against the door and looks naff...

Common W124 feature on neglected examples....Costs pennies but makes all the difference, its the kind of thing that tells you all you need to know about the amount of care and attention lavished at a car.....

Agree about wheels- but what's wrong with leather -looks standard issue?

I don't think it is an every option ticked one.

 

[Blackman]

I don't think it is an every option ticked one.

Well, you've got electric/heated leather seats with climate control and wooden/leather steering wheel, what else you want?

The only thing is missing is the Sportline steering wheel...

What i was saying was that surely there were more cost options available?
And it doesn't seem specced up anymore than others i have seen

I think CM was probably referring to the condition of the leather.

That number plate looks very familiar. Not sure if I've seen it at auction recently or if it's worth HPi-ing before you buy

 

[LowMilerAMG]

Bonnet to wing gap on the o/s looks out as well

Yep. Just going with the 'funny looking' riff.

Those wheels really make my eyes hurt. No membership for him in the W124 Purist Club.

Change or refinish the wheels and it will make a huge difference. 8 hole alloys are on ebay all the time.

My neighbour's sportline coupe looks in worse condition and its still a nice car. Same trim panel issue, same scruffy front seats.

And its cheap for a great spec.

Won't need much to fix up (loom, chg, undercarriage, rusty bits, window motors, paint, upholstery etc. etc. )
