1985 Mercedes 500SEC. £2500. Hampshire. SOLD!

Here's your chance to own the pinnacle of 80's motoring! When this car was built it was perhaps one of the best Mercedes you could buy and in my opinion Mercedes haven't made anything this good since! This car would've cost in the region of £65,000 way back in 1985 and was well worth every penny, it has just about every toy you could imagine. 10-way electric heated seats, adjustable orthopedic back support, dual zone climate control with air-conditioning, cruise control, electrically adjustable passenger wing mirror, electric windows, CD player and a pretty thick folder of service history, so on and so fourth... It even has little arms that hand you the seatbelt when you get in the car. The last of these features has the amusing effect of scaring the hell out of whatever unsuspecting passenger climbs into your car - I can see why it didn't catch on lol! It's a ridiculously good car to drive. I love cruising around town in it, but even more it just eats up the miles on long journeys. I've done 300 mile+ trips in it and somehow I'm always completely refreshed when I get wherever I'm going. I could just drive this car all day long. Resplendant in the most eighties tastic shade of Spandau Ballet GOLD with Lorinser alloys this Mercedes has a lot of presence out on the road, and turns heads wherever it goes! The beautiful gold bodywork is in great condition, with no dents, or scratches, etc all the trim and bodymoldings are complete and are also in good condition. Inside the car it’s the same story, the interior is in great shape, the interior is trimmed in rather splendid shades of brown which compliment the gold bodywork perfectly, the leather seats are not ripped, torn, cracked, or damaged, and the motors in them work as they should. This 28 year old Mercedes is in very good shape with only 91,000 miles on it, although that is still going up as I am still driving it as much as possible because it is such a beautiful car to drive. The MOT expires sometime in April 2014, and the tax expires in March 2014. I am located in Winchester, and my telephone number is 07980588741. I would like about £2,500 or nearest offer for it, which I think is a pretty good price. It is a lot of car for the money, and is a great car to drive and enjoy every day!

Although I am trying to thin out my car collection I am not going to rule out px, swaps, or offers as being something of an autoholic I am always on the lookout for something new (to me!) The cars I would be interested in are as follows... A Nissan Figaro, not really my choice, but the wife really fancies one, so I figured why not! A Hillman Imp, or Sunbeam Stiletto. Renault Feugo. Ford Mustang… Any year or model. Although I do have a particular hankering for a ’79 Pace Car! Ford Thunderbird, again practically any model!

Mitsubishi Sapporo. Toyota Celica Liftback. Hyundai Pony Pick up. Austin Marina Pick Up. Austin Gipsy, Ford (Cortina shape) P100 Pick Up. Old Toyota 4Runner. Old Toyota HiLux Pick Up.
