Guess what i've just bought.. damn im so happy!

[momomo]

...a smoke grey W124 Cab with really low mileage?

This is what im thinking!

Tell us then....

 

[A-AvantGarde]

I reckon it's a W140 too...

 

[The Boss]

wow.. who mentioned anything about a car?

I managed to get a magazine from an original collector, which had one of the first car reviews on the w124 320ce cabrio.

In as-new condition unopened and untouched.

Nice little read..

sorry to those whom thought it was a car

and yes, if i was to buy a car from 1992/93, it would have been a w140 of some nature..

here she is....

 

[renault12ts]

Omg

 

[momomo]

So what was Britain's best bargain in 1993 then Dillan?

lol

well there is an article titled

MARINA SHOCK! - It's a good car

then it goes on the say:
According to the present rules of the four-wheeled society, people buy cheap cars only because they can't afford expensive ones. Given the choice, every Marina driver would prefer a BMW, But the change is coming. Cheap cars are turning beautiful.

Since the beginning of the '80s, ordinary stuff has been lasting a lot longer, and resisting rust better. So the cars are out there. What is more, conspicuous consumption '80s-style is now deeply unfashionable. There's a recession, too, so for some, new cars are less of an option. Already in the US, it's cool to drive a '60s or '70s family sedan as a daily transport, and we believe it will happen here.

I know I cannot match Boss's outstanding purchase of a 17 year old Autocar magazine, but to save everyone guessing what I bought yesterday I'll tell you.




A roll of green 2mm line for my strimmer, off which I cut and fitted two 2 metre lengths and wound them onto aforesaid machine. Whoopee!:bannana:
