Do I want it? A 6.9

[BenzBoy]

Sitting in the back of a shed, registered and going well. A small amount of mechanical work to be done. Surface rust only. 139,000ks. Fair condition tan interior. All bits on the car. Fair price. Trouble is it is gold!!
Do I want it? Do I need it? Where would I park a 6.9? Where would I drive it?

Benzboy... buy it, have some fun, then sell it to me!!

This isn't Jammer's 6.9 by any chance is it???? Where has Jammer been btw?

Tell ya what, you buy it... hold onto it for 12 months.. and whatever price you pay for it, i'll give you 1500 on top in 12months time.

Do I want it? - Of course you do.

Do I need it? - Of course not.

Where would I park a 6.9? - Out of the rain.

Where would I drive it? - everywhere.

You know you want it and it's only small change - when are you picking it up?

Make a marvellous tow car for your trips to concourse events with the RR.

Do I want it? - I think you do? do you?

Do I need it? - Of course not, but that is completely irrelevant

Where would I park a 6.9? - Is there such a thing as affordable lockup storage in Sydney?

Where would I drive it? - everywhere!

Gold AMG car,

to give you a feel for the Gold

You don't need another car Benz Boy......

Where will you PARK it ???

Leave it to a more needy Forum Member..

Go get it Benz Boy, if its a driveable bargain its a good starting point. If it's Icon Gold it will contrast well with Miss Olga.

You are quite correct Michel. Anyone interested cam pm me for the contact details. $4000 is what I am told.

Edit - anyway, Miss Olga says I will be busy in 2009 looking after her puppies so I can only do what I can do....

I am developing the opinion that a 6.9 should be a 70's colour :

milan
ikon
byzantine
zypress
black (timeless)
citrus (if you are brave enough)

Aside of the obvious (milan, black and citrus), what are these colours?
ikon
byzantine
zypress

 

[Lukas]

ikon = ikon gold (I think the German ikon is equivalent to the english icon, as in those little religious pictures, many of which had that gold colour in the halos etc)

byzantine is a darker gold

zypress = zuprus = German for Cypress (the country) = a limey green

 

[116Benz]

Dont forget Cayenne Orange. Rarely seen, but a definite 70's colour, and Inca Red another one of those in between colours (in between rusty red and a dark pink)

Does anyone have a picture of a Citrus 116?

Dear Michel

For a while now there's been a citrus green 450se on carpoint with AMG spoiler. Actually, Michel there's another 450se, also with AMG spoiler, that is the brightest reddest w116 I've ever seen, I think you'd like it Michel. Together these would make a great pidgeon pair. http://carpoint.com.au/used-cars/search.aspx?N=279 4294942924 4294898754 1426

But talking about 70's colours, like it or lump it, I always thought gold was the colour of the 70's The only other logical choice would be rainbow.

Anything bright or brown were classic 70's colours,

The following link could be of interest to those who have a hankering for a return to the 1970s - http://www.onethirtysecond.co.uk/resin/bl70s.php
My 1975 Lancia was Cascigne Green (a kind of Olive Green) with brown interior - brown seat, brown dash, brown carpet - all because Lancia research showed brown to be a relaxing colour.

I thought Citrus would have been more yellowy

Alternate spellings?
Icon Gold, Cypress Green, Byza........something else.
Anyway, what is wrong with a 6.9 in Gold?
I am fighting the temptation right now...........
