Popular Post Junkman Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Posted March 30, 2018 Many* of you will have wondered about the true meaning of my signature.Well, this is it. It spent most of its life in St Margret's Hope, but it apparently made a trip to Cornwall once: And possibly to Spain: Inside it's practically new: Which is not surprising considering its mileage: My Classic Tyre Department® Yooneeroil, the raen toire: And a tyre with a daft tyre name: Der Einspritzer: Looks like it's been lifted straight from a Messerschmidt: Throttle linkage is soooo OMGRHD: Hence rocker adjustment costs a Tenner more in the UK. A hovering horn is not that unusual: But how am I doing in the coveted Trim Hovering In Mid Air Trophy? Yeah, I know. Must try harder. nacho man, ProgRocker, richardmorris and 50 others 53

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Go back to Halford's M8, touch up paint is wrong colour.No worries. There was some paint in the boot. egg, Cavcraft, Mrs6C and 2 others 5
Junkman Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 Yeah, that's fucked. It's actually a lot less fucked than it seems. But beautifully fucked, what’s the plan with that gorgeous piece of history? Get it running and hoon it with gay abandon come this May. danthecapriman, richardthestag, Dick Cheeseburger and 10 others 13
Dirk Diggler Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I'm surprised you didn't use that here; would have been NCT exempt already and I've seen worse in use (the gold 77 s class in Bray for one) Eddie Honda and Junkman 2
Vince70 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 That looks amazing, I would go as far as saying it’s got to be Autoshite car of the year. Royale80, Cavcraft, Magnificent Rustbucket and 2 others 5

Magnificent Rustbucket Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 That is lovely How does MBtex compare to leather? A lot more hard wearing! These are lovely cars. They're incredibly handsome things which drive like a large power boat and drip with a strange charisma. It is nigh-on impossible not to smile when driving one (especially with a V8!) My uncle had a 280SE 3.5 many years ago in the same colour as this, but with stacked headlights. It was wonderful. They have the same easy superiority as the Silver Shadow. A proper Mercedes - and they haven't made one of those for a long time. BorniteIdentity, Junkman, Sudsprint and 1 other 4
nigel bickle Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 If you want a complete spares car ( & I do mean spares) a good friend in Brighton has one sitting under a tarp. Last I saw it was kinda in the way, and he offered it to me for free. Sadly, I have no need, and the effort of shifting it with no immediate agenda put me off, but if you want it, PM me - I'll put you in touch. Loved mine, back in the day, but don't miss it enough..

Junkman Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 That is lovely How does MBtex compare to leather? It's shite. And to all who are full with envy: It's all very well for you, because you don't own it. alcyonecorporation, coalnotdole, Squirrel2 and 5 others 8
Cavcraft Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 If you charged people just to look at it in real life, I'd give you a fiver just to touch it. And the car, before someone else says it. chaseracer, richardthestag, richardmorris and 3 others 6
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Lovely old M130 as well, superb. Spurr Classics in Sheffield had a stunning one of these in an orangey red, crisp as a new fiver and about £15'000. Strange how W108's are so undervalued compared with the Mark II Jag which of course is vastly inferior. I have actually sat in Hitler's Merc. It was at the NEC around 30 years ago, roped off and the ropes meant it was perfectly okay for me to leap over, sit in the back and have a picture taken. I got a bollocking. I wasn't even doing the salute FFS. nacho man, Rave, cros and 9 others 12
Six-cylinder Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 It's shite. And to all who are full with envy: It's all very well for you, because you don't own it. Could you not do Pizza delivery on your Mobylette in the evenings to earn the money to fix it! Junkman, Dave_Q and egg 3

Six-cylinder Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 In 1994 I was between Company cars so bought the black 280CE as a stop gap. In 1996 I changed jobs to one without a company car, I liked the black one so much I bought the white one. I used the white one as my daily for 3 years including maxing it out in Germany at over 120 mph, good times. egg, Sudsprint, spike60 and 15 others 18
