    That is a truck. That is a real truck.:eek::eek::eek: That fuel capacity would last me many, many years. In the past 6,600 kms in the E Estate I have filled the tank only 4 times. That is, I am getting 1650 kms per tank of diesel at 80 litres capacity. Regards, Brian

    It is a good example of Park Ward design and a pity the original Zeiss headlamps have been lost/destroyed. A very deep pocket should see this on the road again. Bryce; it would be a challenge for you if you wanted to sharpen your engineering and body-building skills. Regards, Brian

    I agree with Patrick on this. We had the E350 coupe treated with a ceramic glaze prior to delivery and 12 months down the track I have to admit I am convinced of its worth. The brand used by MB was https://motorone.com/protektiv-surface-coating/ I don't know if it makes the surface any harder...
