Hi,
I recently bought a 280ce which turned out to be pretty rotten (sills, inner wings, rear valance, passenger door skin etc etc)
However, all the trim is good apart from the front bumper centre piece. The blue interior is good, with retrimmed front seats and a tasteful wooden gearknob, apart from 1 piece of the dash wood (by passenger door) and the headlining.
the electric windows work, although the drivers rear is very slow.
The engine starts first turn of the key with no smoke, only done 117k. There is a fairly serious blow from the manifold area though.
I also have 2 sets of mexican hat wheels, a second mostly complete set of waist height trim (maybe from a saloon), a spare slightly dented grille and a box full of side mirrors!
if anyone wants anything, let me know!!
Car is in Brighton, smaller parts can be sent, heavier will be collection or delivery with agreement.
thanks,
Tony

ha, yeah it's pretty rough, can get a fist into the ends of all the sills and as much as i liked the flintsones, i don't want a car like theirs... Still looking for a good one, one i've cleared the garage!
It has the trim under the lights, unsure of the condition. I'd rather you had a whole mirror (or two) there's at least one leccy and four manual, mixture of LH and RH, some spare glass, I'd suggest picking one when you see them!!Will post a pic of the gear knob tonight, although will be taken in a dark garage i'm afraid!
the bonnet is good, the car's a midnight blue colour (doubt mercedes). The seats are good, possible sag in the drivers, never sat in another! The fronts have been trimmed, so don't match the rear, although they're not horrible. Blue vinyl and blue velour combo. Rears look good and have headrests. I'll take pics tonight, but can't guarantee quality as above.
PM replied to
Pics to follow tonight, thanks for the interest!!

the wheels are all (8of them) the 14" ones found as standard on some of these.
1 set, not on the car, are all in really good nick, no scuffs or dings, but dirty and with some of the most knackered tyres I've ever seen. 1 good centre cap, 1 old crusty one.
I have pics on photobucket, but can't get to them to post until this eve...

Guessing this is a coupe be the "ce" If so, what's the (hope your ready for this!) passenger side rear window trim (the thick peice of chrome that loops around the rear side window) the complete grille, all the side trim (on the front wings, doors and rear wings) rear bumper, complete grille, rubber inserts from front bumper, head light switch, elec rear windows, wooden centre console trim, elec passenger side mirror, passenger side elec window regulator, steering box (much play in it?) and.....erm....I think that's it! I know it's alot, but I'm only really interested in mint parts (the trim that is) Cheers

wow.
the tape player is for sale, i'll even through in the random tape that's in it (not stuck)
Steering wheel is not for sale, it's going in the good one i hopefully find in the next few weeks!!
Back bumper is ok from memory, £30 collected?
Most of the exterior trim is good, but dirty. The grill on the car is good, spare one not so good.
Side trim is good from memory, have spare front quarter, boot and saloon door ones.
Front bumper inserts are good, bumper centre section rusty, sides ok.
all windows work well, apart from drivers rear
Centre console is good, window switch wood slightly flaky, see photo
steering box felt ok, although haven't driven any distance, but no tight spots. Not sure about stripping this out at the moment as i need to get it in and out the garage!
Hope this helps

£30 is fine for the back bumper if it's in good condition but unfortunately I'm not going to be down south any time soon. any Idea on courier costs to Harrogate?
cheers Levi
