Fascinating car! That tachometer overlapping the clock is... interesting...

Paid up, waiting for committee approval...

Just a few pics of the interior showing the slightly embarrassing state of the centre console.

Thanks, Mark. Your 450SEL 6.9 adventures have made some very interesting and informative reading! I'm in Mulgrave - I've been considering joining the Benz Club as I don't see many pre 1990's Mercs on the road nowadays and it'd be great to meet like minded folk. Particularly since the BMW club...
