    Patrick's W220 S430

    I had a Mustang renter in the States last year, thankfully it had a reasonably sized boot so I could store the bits that fell off. Yeah Na.

    Patrick's W220 S430

    Nope, I've ruled that out. Have a look at the S500 for sale thread, I've set out my thoughts 😛👍

    Patrick's W220 S430

    It's been a wonderful car to own. Time for a change though.

    S500 For Sale

    Sure has, I originally listed the E500 at $25500, no bites other than the "I'm in the Army or on an oil rig" scammers, dropped it to 22,500, still nothing, then 18990 and it sold next day for $18,500. I was pretty happy as I paid $26.500 5 years prior and Dad put 100,000k's on it.

    Patrick's W220 S430

    Possibly a little low market wise, but if it hangs around I may change my mind, so, out with the old as they say.

    S500 For Sale

    No, that's been sold. I haven't made my mind up on a replacement, but have a few ideas. It'll possibly be new, definitely not a Benz and almost definitely not european. It'll have an internal combustion engine and the battery will start it and make the radio play. We just picked up a new...

    S500 For Sale

    I've made the decision to list my 2001 W220 S500 for sale, 218k's, I'm the second owner and have had it since 88k's. Never had any major issues. I've always had it serviced by my local mechanic in Seven Hills and have a Autel Scanner for diagnostics. For the right price it comes with the car...

    W140 600SEL

    I found the car and bought it for him, it's a bit of a Father and Son thing to share the common interest, and I cherish that. Not about the $ at all. I'm very fortunate.

    W140 600SEL

    My Dad, now 80, is thinking of downsizing from his W212 E500, he wants me to move the S500 on and take over his car. The lack of soft close doors is a real hurdle in my decision to do so. The W212 (2010) is clearly a superior vehicle. But it lacks soft close doors....

    Barn find in The Netherlands

    I'll post some pics once I at least clay bar it, I did the grille today and there was a mirror under all the dirt, even after a wash. I think I'll drive it to work in Seven Hills Tuesday, I have a pretty good commute, 80k's most of the way and some stop/start for the last few to prove it's as...

    Barn find in The Netherlands

    Can I bring the Kubota? We can check under carriages👍 On barn finds, to my eternal shame I got the 6.3 out of the garage today, after sitting idle since Ruby's year 10 formal, so 2.5 years, it was dirtier than the cars in those images. Gave it a wash then spluttered my way down to the servo on...

    C107's 300TE

    I can vouch for Patricks remarks. Ruby's W202 1999 C240 was bought by my Dad from Marshalls in 2000 as one of these cars, 1st owner Mercedes-Benz Milperra. It was 7 months old with about 7k on it. They had a range of ex management cars from C200 Classic through to Dads C240 Elegance. Apparently...
