It's not advertised as an auction Geoff, but as a sale where all potential buyers turn up at the same time and look at and make offers on cars, oh, wait

Don't scratch your nose. You might get more than you bargain for.

Well I bought the car, a W109015, the 300SEL with the 3 litre M189 engine, one of 2396 total production, now to get it back to Sydney :eek:
And I got in trouble from Karen for not buying her a Ponton:rolleyes:

Thanks Geoff, I was gone by 1:24 so missed you by that much, bugger. I'm here until Tuesday early at this stage. Shaws that you used are not in a position to ship a non runner but I've found CEVA who will. Plan is to go there Monday at 11am and chock up the suspension with some timber and cable ties for the trip east, and to have a quiet word with the seller about the finny and ponton 220S's...I blame Karen:cool:

I looked at 220S and Finnie. CRS make V8 kit for finnie's LS and 4 speed auto would make it good daily. Let us know if you need help not working at moment.

I'll take you up on your offer Geoff, even if it's only so we meet up, it'd be silly to come all this way and not shake your hand
