1990 560SEL for Michel

[motec 6.9]

Hi Michel I thought I would post this car so you could feel all nostalgic . It appears to have Becker CD and owner says all levelling suspension. http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=SSE-AD-2865061&Cr=6

Looks good.
I had one of the best 560SEL. Same colour, also with coded bumpers.
But mine had a mere 70,000kms on the clock!

However, as previously mentioned, not looking at anything before 2000 production.

I know just thought I would help you get all sentimental seeing as its the same colour as your old car.

I only get sentimental for one car I sold....

 

[motec 6.9]

And which one is that the Cadillac.

And which one is that the Cadillac.

nooo

It was a 1961 Chevrolet Impala 2 door bubble top with a factory 409/4speed once owned and raced by Dan Gurney

And you sold it. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson (Are you Mad)

I probably was...
I bought a Silver Spur II

And you don't miss the Silver Spur.

And you don't miss the Silver Spur.

Miss the car, but not the maintenance costs

 

[motec 6.9]

Glad you clarified that. Cheaper to maintain than a 6.9 I guess.

HA...
You're funny

 

[motec 6.9]

Though you would like that . I remember your comments after selling it .

 

[Oversize]

Nice car with airbag and power column; at a reasonable price too. But it's not a full hydro....

 

[Oversize]

What were the biggest costs Michel?
