The W140 is a pain in the backside. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING has a module… 🤬 I gave up… I’ll be selling it soon with a new paint job.

You would have known about that Patrick. As much as I love that shape, I simply had cold feet about it. 😳

These are pictures of what I have in my car. So, you’re right, no memory. And I just bought a new battery for it ($280). So, on Monday, my electrician is going to have a go at starting it.

I just downloaded this pic from the net. I need to look again at the doors. But there's something definitely missing.

And I also need both front seat control knobs and backing plates (both front doors).

And I also need a bracket to hold the front bumper. It's a small one that keeps the side upright.

Here are two pics where the car needs a bit of work. Nothing that Jerry can't attend to! However, I'm looking for a few bits and pieces. The mould on the lower part of the front driver side guard.

I thought it's time to start a new thread, rather than continue with the 'comparison one'. Here are a few pics.

You know Mercedes well, why mess with costly Porsches and VW? A decent GL would do everything you want.

I like your thinking :cool:

Here it is!

Welcome back Bryce, Yes, the 380SE is at the factory and we’ve hardly had time to look at it. I’m planning to work on it tomorrow. And yes the W140 is still there because of the fact that I’ve been working from home since July last year.

Fascinating series of articles Bryce. Glad you made the trip safely and in good health. Welcome back!

Fascinating reading and great pics Bryce!

Very impressive... Thanks for sharing

Great report and great photography. Thank you Bryce!

Good luck on the trip Bryce. We all look forward to the pictures and the commentary on classicjalopy.com

Soon Bryce, when it's in my garage. It certainly is not a gem, but has huge potential and the price was more than right. The colours are Silver Blue paint with Grey leather interior. It's going to need a few bits and pieces, but I don't think I'll struggle.

I have to concur with Patrick … it’s lovely
