The end of the 6.9 road :-(

[-bb-]

After 12 years of ownership, my beloved 6.9 is for sale:

[motec 6.9]

I see it's the fastest 6.9 colour and Michel's favourite. Ready to get your Ronin on

If you are parting company with a 6.9,
buy a W211 supercharged E55 AMG. They go faster !

For some reason my name and phone number appear to be quoted in the Car Sales advertisement. Whilst I do not wish to be unkind, I need to stress that I have no involvement in the projected sale of bb's car. Naturally, I wish him good luck. Regards Styria

N.B. BTW, in my honest opinion, a freshly repainted W116 in Milan Brown is one of the best colours in the 6.9 range.

I think that is just your computer filling in details of the form for you.
the Ad doesn't show this for me, looks like BB has consigned his car to the oldtimer center in rydalmere.

I wasn't aware that there was an Oldtimer Centre at Rydalmere. I guess it explains the asking price. Still don't know how my details feature so prominently - not that it matters. Regards Styria

They have moved from Marrickville Styria

I guess we all have to move on eventually. If they no longer provide enjoyment, you have yo ask yourself why keep it? As long as you have love, happiness and a sense of purpose in your life that's all that matters.

Oh good luck with the sale! I really hope the sale prices are similar to the advertised prices which will indicate things are looking better for these classics.
