OK< not exactly our usual stuff, but if caught my eye. Lovely patina.

Needs some fettling to get it running on the road again. But easy stuff for an mbclub aficionado, surely?

Heavy, complicated car to drive, have to set fuel mixture, ignition advance/retard, idle speed when cold an possibly lubricate steering, suspension etc. No power steering. Interesting and great fun to drive.
