To be honest, I really did not wish to look at the car too closely. Unfortunately, as with most used 116s for sale, invariably one can find fault and shortcomings in a number of areas. This applies particularly to the interiors of these cars, such as collapsed pleats, front door boards where the foam has turned to dust, grubby carpets etc., but to constantly criticise, one gets, or can get a reputation for being the 'eternal knocker', and that is a reputation I really do not wish to attain.
BenzBoy, I am speaking purely from my own perspective - absolutely nothing to do with anyone else that may offer opinions regarding a car's condition. You may remember Zixtus - one of our members that joined several years back. He is, or was the owner of two 6.9s, and when there was some adverse comment in relation to another car (not his), he expressed his displeasure at us knocking a particular car. Despite some attempts on my part to remain in contact with him, that has proved a futile exercise. So that's where I am coming from. Regards. Styria
