Dead_E23 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm surprised that you've managed to find three W116 Mercedes, particularly as one of them is still at 'work'! They seem to be getting pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That J plate SAAB is a 1709cc. I think that means it'll have a freewheel, which is supposed to be quite scary on a car as heavy as the 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Definitely a pre-facelift one then? I'm not sure which I prefer, they both look odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyloud Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Marvellous. I think that FSO would have come from Worcestershire originally. Interesting arcticle - seems quite balanced too, especially as they assume that Botnar was never actually guilty of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault18 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Bloody R11 TXE Electronic and in black as well! Oh hai, i luv yu, wud yu like to live wiv me.An ex-R.O.C. car, used to turn up at events and was advertised in the mag at one point. When I enquired several years ago it was missing, presumed dead. Nice to see it's still alive and kicking - maybe now's your chance to track it down and put in an offer Mr Lobster Looking at my own car and the others that have appeared on the site just recently makes me realise that although the original R11 started to look dated in the late eighties, it now looks much more attractive and individual than the bland shite phase two that followed it.

Mat.T Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 good spotting, as far as i know the toledo never got offered with overdrive so its probably got the badge and o/d off a posher triumph.

Mr Lobster Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 - maybe now's your chance to track it down and put in an offer Mr Lobster If it was't for the fact that I'm in Lancashire and it's in London (presumably?) then I would.

Torsten2001 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm happy to note it up, it did share a driveway with a modern Renault Kangoo(?) so I'd presume them to be enthusiasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 That Audi is amazing, who was I talking to about these? Whoever it was, they were certain that these cars were extinct in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
