Not your average car and certainly not imported in Australia.
This E250 CDI is a UK import with factory 6 speed manual.
It's been auctioned at Grays in Victoria where I believe it will go for next to nothing.
My W140, while not a 600, is a marvel of engineering! Fitted with the smallest of the V8s my 400SEL feels like riding in a sound proof box.
Super quiet, extremely comfortable, you miss not ‘feeling’ the road and your environment.
It's the sign of the times, especially in Germany, where manufacturing companies are closing local production and moving it to Eastern Europe or SE Asia.
I checked Bob Jane's website and here's the offering:

Retirement... That is the dream that we pursue only to find that we get bored very quickly! 🙄
Congratulations Pat!
I'm sure you'll enjoy the new challenging role and excell at it.
Happy New Year!
