Speaking of Mercedes.

The one that floats my boat best is the 'cold war' 300SEL 6.3 from the late sixties and early seventies.

Still enough performance even today to blow away a hot hatch or two.

Me neighbour just got an old E-Class, probably a W210 (I can't be bothered remembering model codes) as a guess.  Every bloody morning I hear him trying to start it ;D.  Feels like the sound of the 1970s all over again!

Sadly, he's had to get shot of his Alfa :(

The W210 is the first of the bobble eyed ones.

If it's a diesel then the needs to get the glow plugs working. If it's petrol it should start first crank.

If it's older, W124, then it's probably Bosch CIS, in which case... ;D

It's the double lights thing that makes the Scorpio look almost handsome.  And its petrol.

This one has a few miles under it: ;D ;D

Love the presumably auto generated note under the mileage!  ;D

How it compares

This vehicle has done 1,017,393 more miles than the average diesel Mercedes-Benz C Class Sport Estate registered in May 2008, compared to similar vehicles on Auto Trader.
