Don't think we have...

But it is certainly very nice, expensive, but nice all the same.

I actually really like that interior, looks very inviting and just a really nice colour scheme I reckon.

Michel may not agree with me though, because of the brown-ness...

Yes, I nearly bought it when it was advertised in Sydney for $10500 back in Jan.

There are a couple of threads on w116.org about it, inc my dealings with the then seller and a report after a good inspection:

$10500 was top dollar for it at that stage; for $15k it better have nothing wrong with it at all.

Oh I agree....but if you took an average $2k..or $3k banger and tried to bring it up to this level I think you would spend more money in the long run.

It's a time capsule car, thing is I would be scared of driving it everyday. It is a knockout though, the interior looks beautiful.
