Can you pop up a pic of the crunchy front wings? Whats the mileage? (I know these things can do colossal mileages). It looks nice and is winking at me, must admit it still seems a little salty in view of the lack of test but you never know....

Have posted it on MB Club UK. You never know your luck.
Back suspension will be the killer, the spheres for these are not cheap like Citroen ones. You could probably whip the cat/alloys off, cash the tax in, send the rest over the bridge and make almost that much on it to be honest.

I find this very tempting I must say, it looks a nice enough thing and the price seems very fair. However I have looked up replacing rear bearings and spheres and none of it is very cheap or easy! I think i will try and sit on my hands for a day or two and see if someone scoops it up and solves the problem for me!

I think I will try and sit on my hands for a day or two and see if someone scoops it up and solves the problem for me! i have done the rear spheres on one of these and it was a bit of a ballache as all the pipes seemed to explode and i got covered in the foul smelling fluid  (which is a fairly expensive mb only item iirc) a weekends work at best but not impossible. you also need to look out for the rear damper/strut assembly as they were £3-400 each, i ended up filling a pinholed one with water and welding it up. lasted a good few years till it went in scrappage though  |

Ebay 1 - 0 Retro Rides Assuming star-the-cat sees the deal through to the end. To give the 'bay it's due it's great for stuff like that where peeps generally need a few bits and realise,like above they can achieve this and still get pretty much all their money back. I put a passat tdi up on there years back and although a complete dog to look at with no tax/ticket it did drive ok. I was hoping for anything over £200 and it made £450 plus £70 delivery,which only cost £25 in LPG. A lot of time wasters for sure but also some decent folk out there,heard good things about gumtree too. |

That was a bargain, I was sorely tempted (would have made a class A-frame dragger) but managed to sit on my hands fortunately.

The buyer sounds like one of us - he is hoping it doesn't rain as the wipers on the towcar don't work ;D
Also he will be pulling my w124 estate, on an A frame, with another w124 estate.
