Bit of a rarity.

Not exactly premium condition, minging bumpers and spotlights, and very very expensive.
Shame....

750quid car, and one only someone could buy on a whim....

why it was brought back to the UK god only knows...

if it was mint it would be lovley though. At least he's been honest re the faults...

I have one, they are superb. Super comfort, ample power and a great smile factor. Easy to work on, bags of room. You need to drop the bumpers and lights. 100 mph if you want. OM617 is one of the best engines made. If it's from a dry State it'll go forever.

Guess what - it's now on Car and Classic for MORE than he listed it on eBay for (B.I.N)

Weird one, this.

It must have cost him around 2k to get it here and registered.

If it was less than 3000 BIN it doesn't make sense unless he's in deep do-do.

Believe me, they're a very good car and if I didn't have mine and had just bought a TDT estate W123 I'd have it!
