andrew e Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 As my crap car collection is on hold temporarily (sellers request) I went elsewhere, and lo and behold stumbled on this HONEY. Matching MB Tex too! Lacquer Peel, Cavcraft, flat4alfa and 11 others 14
trigger Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 DVLA says it's a 1986 model with only 51000 miles and a perfect MOT history. andrew e 1
Lord Sterling Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Sweet. Now I'm even more bloody minded to get mine back on road...
hauserplenty Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Buy it.They're great cars.I would if I had the money.&c.
PiperCub Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 What flavour of MB is it? A 123 or 124? Not in the market at the moment but what's the price as a matter of interest. A mate paid £3K for a really sweet W123 190/1.8 about six months back.
Lacquer Peel Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 It's a W124. A 190 is a W201. PiperCub 1
NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 What flavour of MB is it? A 123 or 124? Not in the market at the moment but what's the price as a matter of interest. A mate paid £3K for a really sweet W123 190/1.8 about six months back. W123 ( S for estate and C for coupe) from 1977 - 1985- what we now call E-ClassW124( S&C ) 1985 - 1995W210 95-03W211 03- 09 The 190 range was designated W201 and was replaced by the first C-Class W202 in 1993. These dates may be a bit wrong but give a rough idea, maybe we need a definitive list of Merc and BMW model numbers for us all to learn. Sorry LPi take longer to type,didn't mean to repeat what you said. andrew e, oldcars and PiperCub 3
PiperCub Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Cheers for the info - as you can clearly tell, I'm not an MB expert!!!! Nonetheless - it's still a really nice car, even the colour has grown on me.
Lukas Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Oh, you said "Avocado"... As an Austrian, I immediately thought about the Alvorada-Benz. Junkman 1
mercrocker Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I love that number plate....Its like a taxi with a destination board.
Felly Magic Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Built before Merc went to hell, get it boughtificated
New POD Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I love that number plate....Its like a taxi with a destination board. Yes you the destination is the wrong year.
andrew e Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 It wasn't for sale, it was just parked! Wonder if my daily version of this will look like that in 30 years time? Jim Bell 1
