new car

[jonnyboy]

Well

Here are some pics of my new purchase - picking her up next week.
She's a '97 CL420, 1006k miles and been stored in a barn for the last seven or eight years. She's freshly mot'd, needs some tlc, especially to the front suspension bushes, an oil leak, and a rattly tappet. Paintwork very good although the bonnet shows it age. Wheels are not too bad, diamond cut rims spidering, I may just de-lacquer them and keep them polished/waxed/whatever. Everything seems to work !

Well Done John.
Ugly looking pup at the front (personal opinion only!!)
Inside looks magic.

What do the switches control between the rear seats please?

 

[jonnyboy]

Window switches and the pneumaticallly damped reclining rear headrests.
I'm not usually a fan of lighter-than-walnut wood, but I do like it in this, really lifts the black interior.

Seat heating I reckon

Nice car. I regularly walk past a P reg one parked in the street opposite my office in London and it seems to be carrying the years pretty well.

1006k miles

1,006,000 Miles? I know MB's are good for a lot of miles, but over a million?!!

 

[jonnyboy]

Doh!!!!!
106k miles sorry.

Good spot...

Nice one John, I take it the other projects are completed then?

Looks like a main dealer back drop?
