And this my friends is the other complete 560 from 'The Collection'. It had a little tap in the back before I found it:

Yes of course, but I still think it's not a financially viable option. I do like the custom leather wrapped steering wheel! Feels way better than the standard ones....

Ok put running gear into W123 . Apparently all parts needed are factory. By the way this car was done by MbSpares so take your Euro 560 to him buy clean W123 . And hang on. :D

I have considered that too! Even a wagon... I used to really like them but after sitting in several they just don't do it for me. Not taking any drastic measures just yet; still thinking of the best way forward. Oh and yet another car project doesn't seem that appealing right now!

But that boat is becoming more attractive when I think about the M117 oil filter location....

It's certainly a useful looking car, Mark. All you need is under cover storage, the rest will look after itself. If you have the storage facility, all options are open to you. The only drawback will be time on your part, and then you will need to decide where you are going to start, i.e. which car. Regards Styria

If time and money weren't an issue then I would probably combine two 560s and make one driver. But alas it'd still have no books or history and for all that effort I'd only be able to sell it for what I put in.

So unfortunately at this point the 3 x 560s are worth far more to me as parts despite the most recent purchase having a few surprises. Especially since wrecked ones are becoming very hard to find. No loss because that's why I bought them in the first place....

As far as the plan goes I'll be selling Man o War when I'm organised and getting Red Bull on the road. The others I'll be stripping or tinkering with and generally keeping them from deteriorating further. In the end I'm aiming for 4 x 6.9s, the Buick and a daily.

Yes you missed out on a good car, but you also missed out on dealing with chassis cracks.... :eek::eek:
