l8rz Mercedes Brown Car.

[Jim Bell]

It was a bland Wednesday in September. The air in the office was as thick as a greenhouse and the clock limped on awkwardly like a fucked whippet.

I looked out through the smeg smeared glass at the outside people frolicking merrily amongst the swirling breeze.

Sigh.

 

iphone out. Ebay app engaged.......................HOLY TITS! DO WANT!

 

I spied a German car, slathered in brown and loaded with gubbins.

Seriously do want.

 

Its local. Not far from Overrun. Calculate finances. Can not afford. Lay credit cards out on table and do SERIOUS MATHS.

 

 

 

This might just be feasable.

 

Wind forward an ebay listing and a let down for the seller. Get in while his morale is low!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behold a Mercedes-Bent in 2.3 C124 flavour!

Lovely looking things, but I'd ditch the German plates

GERMAN BROWN, TEXTURE LIKE SUN

 

These things are just lovely aren't they. They seem to be a type of car that just doesn't exist any more. I know Mercedes still make 2 dr coupes but they are models in their own right whereas these seem like a 2-dr coupe version of a taxi. They have the added benefit of looking absolutely great. I say ditch the German look reg plates, otherwise just buy a deck chair and sit and stare. Lovely!

Videos as vids are canny.

That looks lovely, far too nice for you

[Jim Bell]

Yes, the plates shall be the first things to go. Id like some nice origonal dealer plates in an applicable font. Or might just put the originals back on.

[xtriple]

No leather - I'm out!   

 

Err, maybe not, bloody lovely that... I may be vaguely jealous!

[Wackeldackel]

Very nice indeed herr shitpeas, what does the drivers seat bolster look like? Personally I'm biased but these pre facelift models look nicer than the later ones post 1992 with the rounder headlamps and curvy bonnet.

Although I would say some metal plates in a legal font would look great on this (or indeed any car)

Seat bolster looks spot on condition wise. Think the thick tweedy stuff wares a LOT better than leather would. And the seats are super sprung and absolutely luxurious.

Its a lovely place to stick your arse.

[Wackeldackel]

Might be an idea to ake get a merc dealer to read the VIN number as it may reveal further optional extras (such as double insulated glass, a security master switch etc) that aren't immediately visible.

ps trig OWNED

[mercrocker]

Uber-tastic....I must, no must, get one of these before, well before I buy anything else really.   Its about the last car I ever lusted after when new.  Well bought!

[Tayne]

The winnar Is YOOOUUUWWWW!

[fordperv]

That is gorgeous, you lucky shitpeas

[vulgalour]

That interior makes me think of 1970s radiograms.

 

 

It is most excellent.

[EssDeeWon]

Blimey that looks NICE! I would not kick that off the drive for eating crisps !!

[Partridge]

I find that car deeply sexual.

[Felly Magic]

You and Herr Trigger can start the Autoshite Panzer car club. You clearly outrank him though with a cooopay

[inconsistant]

BOSS

[garethj]

That's fantastic, you can now have discussions with Trigger about who outranks whom

[Jim Bell]

All brown German cars are born equal.

[Dave_Q]

And here I am putting my own seatbelt on like a sucker.

 

Colour suits it so well.

 

Midlife crisis - UR DOIN IT RITE.

[derskine]

Not usually my kind of thing but I'm thinking that looks great.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

That's well nice, although I wasn't truly envious until I saw the seatbelt butler.
