Interesting Estate

[buccal]

Not for me but an interesting car and good write-up in Mercedes Enthusiast:

Mercedes 300TE twin turbo by hughes of beconsfield For Sale (1992) on Car And Classic UK

I think that it has been for sale for some time

I cannot see the mileage mentioned so it must be high!

That car is in Maidenhead.

A mate went to look at it & thought it a bit scruffy & overpriced. It's had a lot of paint.

Runs like a scalded dog though!

Think its about 130k IIRC

Shame, thats not how the article described it

Def a bit of a sleeper though

My friend looked at it about 6 months ago.

At that time the seller said it was going to be in ME so maybe he attended to the bits of scruffyness before the magazine people saw it.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a POS or anything like that, it just wasn't as clean or as close to pristine as he was expecting based on the price, rarity & amounts of £££ sunk into the car.

I think that car featured in Mercedes Enthusiast either the current issue or the one just past.

That car does not have the copmplete look. It has the correct period AMG rear bumper and skirts but a standard front bumper, where is it gone???????

The car is not an AMG. The sill and other bits were fitted afterwards. This is a Q car. The exhaust is custom. Get the mag. read the article, it is v.interesting IMO.

I know the car is not an AMG but why go to the trouble of fitting AMG skirts and rear bumper but not the front bumper?

You know very good how much that bumper cost and how hard is to get one
