Well Nutria Metallic actually. Only one picture so far.

Posted Image.

Hopefully more to follow soon.

Cars an Auto and done 109k miles and bodywise is in fantastic condition. Good service history upto 80k and not bad after that. As usual a few things need sorting so far the list includes:

A few clunks from suspension / steering which only really appear once the car has warmed up and done a few miles.

Cutting out randomly when slowing for junctions / roundabouts, etc. So far happended 5 times in about 250 miles but is worrying as its so random. Revs drop as you slow down and then sometime just keep dropping to an engine stall - even when still moving - looking at the site suspect idle control valve. Have it booked in with my local guy whose done Mercs for years so hopefully will be sorted.

Suspect car may have been owned by an enthusiast at some time as it's had the clear indicator treatment and has nice number plates with the Merc badge as a background - Could have been a guy called Chris Taylor from the Wigan area - ring any bells with anyone?

Fantastic site guys and look forward to many more postings.

Lovely...
Looks to be a carat spoiler on the boot...
Wheel arches could benefit from a jetwash and clean...

Really tidy and that colour is rather nice B)

You're so cheeky Lewis!
But ta very much for reminding me, I still haven't done my rear arches properly :lol:

DaveM, that's a really lovely motor you have there.
I wanted some chocolate before I clicked on this thread, so can't confirm the effect it had on Kenny :lol:

MattB - please start a thread of your own about your new car.
Congrats, looking forward to seeing all of your cars ;) :)

Hi again guys

New to this and not got the hang of photos yet- well I couldn't see anything of my photo in last post! Look forward to sending pics. I have a photobucket web page- when you load pics on do you guys actally see the photos or just text at top of the message- maybe my images too big? I got an 89 r107 500sl and an 84 w123 230e as well as my 190e that I'm working on now-great car!
