For Sale "O Lord, won't you buy (my) Mercedes-Benz..."

[chaseracer]

 
The ex-Wobbler, currently-Chaseracer Merc W124 300E, as seen in CCW on occasion.
 
1990 G-plate, 180K; MOT March 2015, currently on SORN (garaged) in the English Midlands.
 
Indestructible 4-speed auto, serviced by the bloke who built Red Victor 3.  Four new Avons 6000 miles ago.  New driveshaft (OUCH!) a bit before that.  Straight-six runs well, needs new idle-control valve (obtained, not yet fitted).
 
Body good; paint's a bit dull and there's the odd bleb as you'd expect.  Good cloth interior, very comfortable. Sunroof and driver's window currently u/s.  On steels at the mo (with RAIR silver-edge trimz!) but original alloys as above available.
 
These things are on the up, according to the 'classic press' - as noted elsewhere, watch W124 values skyrocket five minutes after I wave a sad goodbye to this one...

FORE SAIL: £695 ono.  HBoL, shiters' discount (and tea) always available.

Having bought one auto Mercedes today I have to decline. Good luck with the sale.

[Wackeldackel]

Hnnnnnnnnnnng, tempting.

 

Bargainous, but then again , I would say that.

 

good luck with the sale. These really are top notch quality motors and half decent ones getting scarcer.

WOULD BUY IF HAD COMPRESSION IGNITION.

 

Well, it's got compression (I assume) and it's got ignition. What more do you want?

[dollywobbler]

You forgot the important bit. Last I remember, both headlamp wipers worked. One of the washers is just the bare pipe with a screw in it. That's my careful* modification that is.

[chaseracer]

Good point, Ian.  I have made no further modifications yet.

Even though I've just lost a load of money on a W124, I still would.  Verdict:  These are MOREISH.

Far too 'conditional'.  Come over here with cash - you know it makes sense...

If you decide to break it for parts   I'll buy the headlamp wiper motors

Well, we're into the third day - and you know what that means...

 

 

[chaseracer]

YAY!  Got a nibble and a request for pics from a bloke in 2CVGB after I put an ad on the forum.

 

Of course, I will never hear from him again...

Good luck with sale, hope it goes to a good home
