Now that REALLY is car of the week. No run-flats; no need to park with care; no need to worry about speeding fines; park in a loading zone...
If I had room I would truly want this.
Imagine the look on the face of the service consultant when you rock up to Mercedes-Benz Sydney and ask for an A service. Priceless.
Regards,
Brian

That'd be cool with a fifth wheel motor home.

 

[Patrick_R]

Lol
That is a gem Michel.
A true legend truck.

Oh and guess what Brian.
Most of these 180hp trucks were 6 speed manuals!
Right up your alley mate.
The bigger ones with 2 sets of drive wheels were 10 speed, even better.

I was laughing loudly thinking about you in the queue of the service department

You’re right Ant, a massive motor home behind this gem, un hitch, then drive into town.

It would also be cool to see it at the annual Mercedes-Benz club display day/concours.

 

[Patrick_R]

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh NO.

I’ve been working with trucks for 43 years now, and the very last thing I would ever do is own one

However I have to agree, it would be the coolest vehicle on display.
Especially with a straight through exhaust

 

[c107]

One for Patrick. The Corona Virus.

 

[Patrick_R]

Should have kept that car Bryce.
Owed me stuff all

A French hearse perhaps?

 

[c107]

That is quite cool.

Spotted this 300 across the road from a job today, unregistered but looks to be in fantastic condition.

 

[Michel]

I always thought they were so imposing.

This is a tale of two 1979 6.9s, both Aussie delivery, both in nice shape.

They are both up at the lloyds auction.

The first is 6132 a 12/79 complianced model:

The second is 6032, also 12/79

Only 100 cars apart and both for sale at the same time.

I would have the blue one, mostly because it seems in slightly better shape and I much prefer the colour.

Will you be bidding Bryce?

 

[c107]

Will you be bidding Bryce?

Not likely!
But they are still nice cars.

I like 6.9s, but I already have a 560SEL and there are other cars I would be more interested in if I was in the market right now.

 

[Patrick_R]

Good morning chaps.

Two very nice 6.9’s.
I’m thinking they will pull good (if not in sane) money.

Ant,
Did you buy the twin axle delivery van?
It looked great.
