I had this car in about 2008. At the time it was the most structurally sound w124 id seen. I went mental on it with the bilt hamber wax in all box sections. In glad to see its still around. it looks like its never had an MOT fail on corrosion ever since 😂

It suprising how many seemingly perfect w124s have rot in and around the rear subframe mounts. When i got this up in the  the air and the rot prone areas on this were sound i was quite shocked. It was also quite an unusual spec- blue black paint/ mb tex- 7 seats, and a manual. Its suprising how much more telaxing a manual is on the motorway- 2800 vs 3400 at 70 and with those slightly coarse merc 4 cylinder engines of that era (it was a k/92 and a 2 valve engine) it makes a difference.

New shape Saab 9-5.  Amusingly the description written by the seller is if anything even more hyperbolic than the AI bit.

I would like to try one of these one day, I think they're a fantastic looking car, but the parts situation gives me teh fearz.

It took a while for me to understand why there were legs just dangling there.

It's an alien dematerialising machine and a portal to the other side of the universe or it's a Delicia.

It's well in the ULEZ zone. Odd decision to buy a non-compliant car if you live in Hackney and using it to shift stuff.

Looks like a serious bit of negative camber on rear wheel unless it's just the angle

Where's that thread about jobs you'd like to do? Can I nominate official* government caravan inspector, where a series of miserable old bastards (ok, just me) go round investigating horror shows like this and taking a flame thrower to all that kitsch shite?

That flower pattern looks like original CI design from the 70s.
