Closing in on a 6.9

[Julian]

Hi folks.

I’ve been inching closer to a 6.9 for years. This particular one has been neglected for 10 years which is not great news but looks worthy of saving.

I’d love some information on this and have attached plate details to this post.

I’m pretty sure this is an English import.

Can anyone help with a translation?

Your car was made very early 1979.

How about some pictures Julian?

Edit: teaser photo attached as PDF. It's dark green and has blacked out chrome all around. Plenty of rust.

Rust is a specialty in W116s...
Good luck with the purchase.
Please, keep us all posted

Ooouuu, amg style...
I see no evidence of this rust, so at least it's in better shape than my car (thats not saying much tho...)
