Jeremy my 190 was garaged for 13 years by its first owner and only covered 65,000 miles in that time.

Hello and welcome :)

Lovely car.

Just one thing though. Did you have a lot of weight in the boot when you took the pics? If not you may have broken springs.

I think that stu is correct
If your boots not full of heavy gear
This is what mine looked like before I changed my springs

They are not expensive.....Try GSF or Eurocarparts

From memory springs £17 each and I also bought and swopped the shocks they were £29 each

I have to say it transformed the whole feel of the car
well worth the cost
Mark


P.S Ooops I missed your reply to Richy :$

Paul, you're about an hour and a half, to two hours away, down the M6.

We're easy to find, and if you're in convoy with others, it'll be even easier for you to get to us... ;)

Drop me a PM, or post in the GTG thread and I'll add you to the list.

It's going to set new records this year...and it's only January!! ;)
