I've driven the 280SE most days this week and so far its responding quite well to a bit of use. Today I was picking the kids up, so the 280SE stood out in the sea of white SUVs at the school.

That is one strange looking car!

This very original P5 is advertised for sale at a UK auction side. Seems a good representation of the early cars:

Probably depends on the carby. Plenty of people who can work on SUs as they are so common - still thousands of British cars equipped with them on the road. Esoteric carbs I would agree.

That’s probably why it has not been towed away.

Gave the 280SE its first oil change under my care now its on the road and ready for use. Oil was fairly dirty so I am glad i did. Since I don't know the last one done, I'll do another one in 1,000km to ensure everything is clean and set a baseline.

Its probably quite important. Modern cars are basically computers. I work in the computer software industry and updates are important to the good functioning of whatever product you have.

Pretty sure the windows are closed.

Got the dash and other trim back in. Took the car for a test drive so went to take a photo next to the 280SE that has been abandoned in a local coles since at least may.

The car is back and the brakes are rebuilt. One half of one of the calipers was siezed in so badly he used another one he had in the shop. New rotors etc all on. Brakes feel better. The A/C is also done and its nice and cold now. I've done a more extended write up here:

you can see why the easiest way to steal a Mercedes is to steal the keys.

Car is back! Mechanic had to drop the steering box in the end to get enough clearance to remove the ignition lock. The used lock supplied by styria is now in the car. I am going to put the instrument cluster and some of the other trim back in myself.

That's what I tell people when they ask about what car they should buy and my answer is always buy the best Toyota corolla you can afford.

Make sure you suggest the new owner join up to TK, would love to see progress of the restoration.

Congrats on the sale and glad it’s going to somebody who will fix it up and get it on the road.

The 380SE is such an underrated car. I’m perplexed why the market values the 420SEL at 3x. It’s not 3x the car. the 300 and 380 are the best bang for buck in the 126 range.

Michel - the car is looking really good. If you go with the hammers, unless they are the correct offset and a period wheel (i.e. made around the time of the car) you would need to change from historic registration type to modified....

i understand this has already happened and the Land and environment court supported the council.
