After a late night exchange of £450! last night, I now have the choice, do I use the Audi 90 Quattro, or, do I use the new toy, the Benz 190. K so for £450, admittedly, it's a shabby looker, but with 2 new front wings, and a good service, it'll be right as rain. The guy needed to shift it, he lives in Nottinghams St Annes area, and has lost his licence, so needs to move it before it gets vandalised. Found the original "for sale" notices in there while cleaning it this morn before work, £900 it was up for  Boy done good  MOT and Tax till Feb, 152k, loads of SH, the original bill of sale and some other tasty extras. Even got him to throw in a 12 disc JVC changer and JVC tape face off head. Like I said, life it good. |

I had neither, I've been really ruthless of late, the Rocco and the MK III went in the same day, the Fasty is being shelved, and a mate is taking her on, the van is clutchless still, and I had a renault 19 which I sold within a day of owning to it get space and money for the benz.
So I'm left with the Audi, the Merc, the Wedge and the Bug, not bad for me ;D

Top puchase! Nice cars the 190 - what engine does it have? If it's a 190 then it'll be a carb 2.0, 190E and its 2.0i... 190 2.3-16 and I'd say you've nicked the blimmin thing!! ;D With the car being from St Annes... Wasn't a drug dealers car was it? No bodies in the boot or anything?!  Sounds like a real bargain, fella! |

Guz, my mate has had it to do and use, sorry. Try Charlie Perkins, in Kettering, there are 3 or 4 in there. Benz Boy, its the 190, 2.0 carb, I think, it looks like some strange side draft contraption, but not 100% sure, its not 100% right at the moment, seems to have a dead spot at about 1500rpm, so I'll be investingating that (not that I'm ever below 4000rpm anyway!) Pics, I'm working on it. Fitted some lowered struts last night, my mate "had a set knocking about", so I've robbed em, next on my list is a set of 16" Penta's, and guess what ;D |

Nice! Yeah let's see some pics! ;D
It'll be a Stromberg carb - 175CDT I think... Good carbs when they behave themselves (very similar to the SU HS6 / HIF6)
