Looking very nice but are you sure its Magnetic Blue ? Perhaps you mean
code 931 Magnetite Blue (magnetitblau).

You're spot on Hoddo...
That was the automatic spellchecker doing the dirty on me

It is definitely 931 Magnetite Blue!

It does look smart with the painted hubcaps.
Is there an automatic sepelcherl on on here? It doesn't work for me......

There is a spell checker in Windows7, however on the iPhone 4S, not only it checks it, but it corrects it as well

Thanks Tim,

Essentially finish fitting out the interior and then enjoy driving it on Club Rego

Sounds good Michel keep us posted with the project.

Will have to organise to go for a drive in one of your Mercedes at a Club event this year Michel if that's okay with you?

Cheers.

Wow the old girl came up nicely!

BTW, the perils of iPhone auto correct..............




(BTW this was the cleanest of this series I could find)

 

[WiSeGuYY]

Hi MICHEL , very nice colour indeed , humm about auto correct i don't use it in the forum it could save me many spell mistakes , but see TONY example it can put us in trouble and possible can't justify most words.

my advise to TONY , Keep busy with the MINI and post more pics LOL.

REGARDS
TAREK

What a beautiful SEL and it has hubcaps

 

[c107]

Magnetite blue is one of the best colours they sold on the W116. Never got to see this car, but it looks very nice.

 

[Michel]

That was a one owner car that would have ended up at the wreckers..
It had a fair bit of rust, but was otherwise super straight and drove like a dream.
I believe it ended up with a fellow who was goes to use it for a Bondi to Burke bash.

 

[Styria]

Well, the main consideration is that you got paid for it. BTW, I've not yet seen it figure in the Bash event. Maybe it's languishing somewhere being totally unloved and lonely. It's a bit like a Swiss guy (chief) that purchased my 300SEL with M189 engine and I understand that he was starting being chef at an establishment in the Hunter Valley, but I never heard from him again. Why am I telling you all this ? I simply don't know. Just a phase in my uneventful life. Regards Styria (God, they are 'orrible lit smilies.
