Hi,

Although I signed up a while ago when Howard posted a few pics of the family Merc car for perusal, this is my first post. I flogged my Boxster yesterday and in less than 24 hours the spot on my driveway has been filled by the W116 280SEL, which is now (unofficially) mine.

For pictures, see the old thread: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=37733

Or if you don't want to read the thread there are a lod of Yahoo! photos here: http://tinyurl.com/2vegs7

I've a few things planned to spruce up the car, but I spent a fair amount of effort scrubbing it up for a recent wedding so it's not looking too bad at the moment. First port of call will be a decent outdoor cover for it I think.

Anyway, I'll be sniffing around from time to time seeking advice, so watch out!

Cheers,

JoshM

Welcome to the forum Josh - I'm sure there'll be plenty of advice should you need it.
 
Great looking car, welcome
 
Hi and welcome, I remember Howard posting the pics.
 
Welcome :).

You might want to speak to the DVLA about getting the correct registration on the car if it's a '78. I had to do the same for my old '73 350SL as it was imported - they had issued a registration based on the import date and not DoM!
 
Thanks for the tip - for now it's got my 'ageless' private plate (transferred from the Porker) but it wouldn't hurt to ask about it I guess since I believe they've done the same thing with mine.
