Mercedes 190e - Picture 1 of 12

£250/no reserve. The horror of the chrome arches are more than made up for by the interior

Solid car - starts and drives. Tyres all good. Had a recent water pump. Straight six engine. All mechanics good. Trim poor.

Solutions cost money, to wit:

Bodywork and respray: On that?  Probably £5k, including labour; quite possibly more.  Not including sourcing and reinstating the rear fender skirts, and eliminating that disastrous cross.  Will be out of action six months, conservatively.  Know anyone you'd trust to do it, within 30 minutes of your house?  Or even 60?  No, me neither.

Suspension: back looks like it's on leaf springs, which probably just means lowering blocks; easy to get rid of.  Front, well who knows what I'd find when I took the wheels off.  Got to budget for at least a pair of coils.  Plus labour.

Tyres: needs a minimum of four Cooper Lifeliner 235/75/15s to replace those town-and-country things.  I mean, those would have been just-about acceptable in 1967, when the UK didn't have access to the correct tyres, but we do now, there's no excuse.  £100 a corner, approx.  Fitted, if lucky.

Wheels: need cleaning up and painting, which is OK, that's something I could do, assuming my stamina held out.  But then it needs a full set of the correct hubcaps, which will be £200 easily.

Divorce and relocation: £fuckno!

Oh and did I mention it's already out of reach?  Funding IS now, and always has been, a massive issue.  £1500 RNM does not translate to "make me a bid."  It translates directly to "Ed can't afford me, fuck off."  Which in turn translates to "Ed will enjoy the Omega, and mourn this hearse from a distance."

And having typed all that, yes I do understand that you may have been joking.  My autism means that I need to answer the question as if you weren't.

What part of Do Not Paint do you not understand? 😉

That is at least half of the budget taken care of.

Did you look at the picture?  Clearly not. 

I've had some awful-looking vehicles in my time but I draw the line somewhere above that.  Anyway it doesn't matter, it's not going to happen.

That's a bloody hero that is - they're not that renowned for moon miles, I guess they have looked after it if they'd owned it from new?

Staines. I think all of the ones in the photos have come from the west London (modified) car museum in Hayes. Also listing a 107sl for £70k!

Shame about the automatic but a low mileage SR20 must be worth more than the asking price.

Wonder what it's like underneath? Ah.
(TBF he does say it needs sills welding both sides and states that it has to be trailered away? Just the sills?
