Is the paint original, if so amazing condition. I'm sure you will enjoy it and it sounds like the third owner will look after it as well as the previous two owners !! It's great when a plan comes together.

Yes paint appears to be original according to my body shop guy , in fairness it looks better in that photo than it does in the flesh , the paint has faded slightly and has a few small imperfections.
Yes I've contacted dvla and hmrc .

Lovely!
Welcome to the exclusive world of W114 motoring.
There's plenty of info out there on correct fluids for the M110.
Re gearbox - they are not the smoothest of boxes to start with, but change the oil to begin with, I doubt that's been done for some time. The likeliest cause of poor changes are the linkages and the bushes on the individual levers. Mine have been re-bushed with solid rubber and all the linkages checked and adjusted as necessary. It does help.
Give it a good look over and if it's rust free, invest in a good waxoyl and cavity wax it everywhere. Never ever take it on the road if there has been salt on it in the last month - I jest a bit, but these cars rep for rusting is fully deserved.

Not sure where in Scotland you are based but you should display that at The Erskine Classic Car Show.
Absolutely stunning car you have there, well done.

The first "fluid" I would be looking to change is the brake/clutch fluid and maybe the flexibles as well depending on condition. Unless its been replaced by some of the ultra modern fluids being deliquesent it will have absorbed moisture. A couple of really hard stops and you might find your braking markedly reduced. Would be a pity to dent such a nice car.
