Yes, going to be interesting, I know manual boxes and mercedes are generally a poor marrige so we shall see, I must admit tho I did find myself wanting more control of the revs when I had the auto What's the story with these manual boxes, is it just a poor quality box they fitted to the standard cars? |

hello and welcome, nice bargain there. the mot and tax would easily cover that cost you paid so you got the car for effectively nothing which is my favorite price. |

To be honest I think it's going to require too much effort to get the body work to the point where it's nice enough to show. Unless I can sort out the small issue where the damaged wing seems to have resessed by half an inch. Either way it's going to need a respray, shame because the engine is beautiful and interior immac. I havn't decided yet, might use her to ferry me to and from work and look for something a little more desierable as a replacement later in the year, something with more options and perfect bodywork. My moral is you can fix engines, but bodywork is another kettle of fish. But yes, certainly a bargain, the seller had an old sl in the garage, a w124 diesel, beetle and newer C class, the girlfriend was demanding more drive space so he just wanted to cover the mot and tax so he could get rid and avoid earache. |
