Yet another option for Michel

[SELfor50]

Michel, that HAS to be within your price-range? Or is it too nice to race?

It already has horizontal braking stripes on the bonnet!

Bargain at the current price of $250 - the headlight wipers alone are woth that much new. They were presumably an option on the 450s? Or is this a 6.9 with delete badge option and a clueless owner?

My 450SEL (the track car) had headlight wipers.. it was an option I think.
They were removed long ago, and given to torana68 (Rog)... along with the backing plates. I think he gave me a packet of cigarettes for them.

Been keeping an eye on it, although it's in Victoria...
These aren't stripes.. merely the reflection of light from the celing in the shed..

Nice to see you picked the SWB 6.9

...and here I was thinking you were going to race a PII Special....
There is a nice Railton with a Merlin engine for sale but maybe a tad more than $499.

Oh Brian, I would love to.... But, does it have power steering? or do I get a membership at the local sports club?

Where did you score a SWB with a 6.9 motor from, Cam? I gotta see it; looks like I am gunna be gate crashing your place sooner than you think
