My old 280SE is up for sale again. It was a good car: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1979-mercedes-benz-280se-auto/SSE-AD-19208441 some more info about the car from when I owned it: https://www.topklasse.org/forums/threads/79-280se.7519/...

I think the balupunkt would look better thn the W116 than the continental does. The continental is more W126 era in terms of its look and is an alternative to radios like the Becker 1402. Personally I like the original radios in my cars, so have gone back and installed them. My old 280SE...

That looks promising. So many of these radios don't really look the part.

Looking at your photos, I realize I forgot to check out pit lane. I also didn't see the rovers, other than the lovely red 3500S that belongs to Styria's son. I guess they were probably on a parade lap when I went past their section.

that's pretty good. The $580 one has probably been sitting on the shelf for years too

Good toknow they can get this stuff. I've also heard good things.

This is a nice car that has been posted on TK before; https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1989-mercedes-benz-w126-420-sel no reserve

Glad you captured the final prices, I was out and missed them

Maybe, but its such a simple job I wouldn't bother. I've done it to most of my cars on my own, and it takes about an hour per car: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2019/05/w126-bonnet-insulation https://www.classicjalopy.com/2019/08/w126-sedan-bonnet-insulation...

Especially the 600!

Some cheap roughies coming up on Lloyds:

I’ve done this a few times and it’s not required

One of teh reasons why I bought a W126 parts car was to get another pair of these struts. I finally got rid of the car last week, and the struts are now in my box of spares. If I have an issue with one of my SLS equipped cars, I can send off one of my spare pairs to be rebuilt.
