[Makdissy]

Mercedes Benz cabriolet E220 | eBay

How much will this cost to restore ??!!!
Any ideas ??!!!

 

[aka$h]

£2-3k fora full respray
£1k for a new hood
£2-300 for a used interior
And however much the car needs mechanically

Avoid, looks abused big time

 

[syncropaddy]

Buy that to break it

Such a shame this looks totally unloved. If the bodywork is that rough imagine the mechanical neglect. Sad really.

And its a 2.2. Well under powered for hauling that body and cabriolet body around. Believe me I had a 2.2 estate and it was gutless.

I had an E200 courtesy car back in the day from MB. It was bloody dire. All noise, loads of revs, little movement

Spot on. It has to be a 3.2 imo with all the bells and whistles too.

If all you wanted was to trundle gently around with the top down on sunny Sundays, it would be OK, but I agree, there'd be no great driving pleasure otherwise.

Not so sure it's abused, more neglected. It may well go to some chancer who will give it a quick cosmetic tart-up and put it back on sale at an inflated price in the Spring.

the interior complete selling for 2k euro granted in perfect condition and bodyshell now also selling for 2keuro

i doubt it will sell less than 3k as is

anything at these prices are steal restoring or breaking with the nos involved certain colour command more

It's such a shame to see a merc cabriolet in that condition.
Some people are heartless.

There's nothing wrong the the 2.2, it's a good car, buy it and keep it in the shed, it'll be worth a fortune in 20 years

precisely because a friend of mine has white dog of these believed one of a handful left in original colour only one with sportline cloth interior in rhd (4k option) as they were supplied with leather as std. it happens to have 3k worth of plate on it/

he wants 4k for and he is wealthy enough to mothball it until it will be worth 10-20k when only one is left in rhd.

remember to make e36 car in white (none exist) you have bodyshell to do it too. it work close 5-7k broken no matter what is the condition of it. using e36 written off donor for mechanics body kit is extra they are very very rare

another thread i published here on their prices
