Thoughts on this 420SEL?

Obviously a ‘cheapie’

This is a very nice 450SE(L) - even the leather (MB Tex ?) looks in lovely condition. There could be more photos. Regards Styria

I think this is the wrong URL, points to an old TK thread about 6.9 suspension.

The 420SEL has featured here on the TK Forum before.

Car looks nice but I don't get the attraction of paying more because it was previously celebrity owned.

Rare manual W116

Hi Bryce good point about McQueen’s car.

Rare to see a manual W116 for sale here in Aus and it is the 280S petrol carby model?

So so cool, but it might just be sold

It wouldn't be coming down to Sydney by any chance?

1979 450SEL 6.9 correct me if I am wrong but the s/wheel does not looks to be the correct s/wheel for a W116?

Same seller has a 1963 220SE for sale as well.

The 107's moved to this style of wheel in 1979, and I think the W116 did too.
At least on the surface looks like a decent 6.9

Tim is correct about the steering wheel on the 6.9 . Well spotted .

Not coming to Sydney unfortunately, didn't pan out with the seller and his tale...

This SLC is only a few hundred cars off mine:

Price is probably on the high side for the rough paint but could be a great car with the paint sorted.

Just saw this in north Sydney. It appeared to be running rather rich.




Excuse bad camera phone photo

Another Ute, albeit in Western Australia.
But this one is for sale!

 

[c107]

One for Tim.
If you're going for a six cyl W202, why not go for the best?

Re: Car of the week7s

Hello Bryce,

I have seen that AMG W202 for sale before.

I am after the update series two V6 C240 or C280 W202.

 

[c107]

As it happens there was an article on the C36 in this month's MBCNSW magazine. It was the first car after the acquisition of AMG by Mercedes Benz and set the scene for the plethora of models you see today.

It is quite possible that the C36 will be collectible some day given it got the whole thing started.
