Hi JohnS, thanks for the lead - there may well be some other useful parts on that car. If I get over that way (and I must soon). I intend to have a good look at what is available. Regards Styria

Check out his other items on ebay, looks like he has decided he can get more for the parts than for the car as a going concern.

That's right,
a lot of old Mercs, much as we may love 'em, are not worth much more than a thousand dollars, but can get a lot more for parts.
I have been parting out a 1980 W123 280E over the past year, and apart from using the air-con compressor and the self=levelling rear suspension for my Crayford W116 wagon, I have sold on enough small parts, all between $20
and $100 to make it worth more.
It drove great, cold air, good tyres, etc but the paint was shot.
I am tempted by a couple of cheap ones around here, a rust free W116 and a smoky W126, both for about a grand, and if I had the space I would be in business.
