W114 Front Wings Needed - Can you help?

[sociologychris]

Hi from a newby! I have just bought a 1971 250 w114 and it is need of some TLC.... The front wings are rusted in the usual places and I wonder if anyone has any wings for this car? I have found a guy on ebay who is breaking one but he wants £150 per wing and these need lots of prep - is that fair money??

I also have a c32 AMG for sale as the wife says I can only have one weekend car... it has 68k, nice condition, full history etc etc I am looking for £10500

Hope some one can help out

Thanks

I think you'll be lucky to find good used wings for a W114, especially via online forums where W114 owners are as rare as hens' teeth. The MB Club is your best bet:

The Mercedes-Benz Club

If you are not yet a member, it's good value, not least for the monthly Gazette and the quarterly MB Classic magazine, which is superb.

Wings may still be available from MB, so it's worth checking out, even if the price ultimately doesn't make sense to you. The price you quote above is high for used wings, but the vendor no doubt knows how scarce they are and is therefore pricing accordingly. For more common and recent models you'd expect £50ish.

If you follow the link in the "Members Offers by Traders" section you'll find someone selling a brand new MB wing for £210

£150 for used wings needing work seems a bit excessive...

I have a pair of wings for sale from my 250CE. Where are you based? A courier might be prohibitively expensive. Failing that, try Hadrian's Panels. They do pattern wings for reasonable money.

i found these recently they might be able to help with a decent set of new pattern panels
Auto-Panels/ Mercedes type w114 & w115

i was actually looking for a company called avenue panel.

114 and 115 wings are exactly the same. Pre and post facelift wings do differ slightly though.
