My Dad's Mercedes SL

[Englebert]

No, not an AMG fire breathing monster, but an '80s SL 300! My dad bought this a few years back as a 'modern classic', having features such as a galvanised shell and ABS. I'd be surprised if he has put more than 1,000 miles on, and because of that, it's up for sale.

It's not my sort of thing, but it's in great nick considering most of this era of SL (R107) are sheds!

I thought i'd share some snaps from this morning...

And whats this lurking in the shadows...?

Why am i selling it... :dapprove:

 

[powey]

Now the BM is my cup'o't

 

[Aluco]

Cos your a poncer.



Merc is mintttttty.

 

[jon_r]

Can he not afford to keep the Merc 10 years mate? I reckon it'll only go up in value now.

It is lovely though

 

[Ian_182]

That merc is quality.

I bet it will still fetch a tidy sum...

 

[Englebert]

I think he'd rather spunk the cash on race cars, as would i...

It's like driving a boat, that big, long bonnet rises as you accelerate!

 

[Gareth]

very nice, I have an appreciation for old Mercs but I wouldn't buy one.

 

[fUbAr]

6 car garage? nice!

not a fan of the Merc, but that interior looks fresh even by today's standard! Must have been way ahead of the competition back in its day!

 

[Justin]

Your CSL, well all CSL's look so good as standard!

Merc's nae bad either. Any idea on the M's replacement?

 

[chappo]

nice Merc,

beemer aint bad either mate,

 

[cat171]

That Merc looks to be a complete minter I love your csl too Rob (I still haven't seen it though )

 

[Seedy172]

Both STUNNING motors.

 

[Fletcher]

Loving the CSL.

 

[walkie86]

What else is in the garage?? CSL is delish

 

[Englebert]

Thanks guys. As for the CSLs replacement, i am leaning towards a Scirocco at the moment, but i will probably not buy anything for a couple of months until i am entirely decided!

 

[Needster]

You got two Dad's, Fenn?

Love that Merc. Looks sweet as. CSL isn't bad either.

 

[Englebert]

The first to comment on the duplo-dad... thank you

 

[Needster]

What do I win?

 

[Englebert]

My unwavering respect.


Only kidding. My knob up your arse?

 

[Needster]

I was hoping for a Mars Bar, TBH. :dapprove:

 

[Englebert]

That would melt within seconds up there...

 

[Tom@JMS]

Is that a house, or a garage :rasp:

Merc's lovely, I'd keep it wrapped up in soft sheets for another 10 years. Would be worth a mint.

 

[kie1an]

lovely bmw .

 

[Gally]

I was hoping for a Mars Bar, TBH. :dapprove:

That would melt within seconds up there...

I think you missed a trick with that come back but awesome non the less.

 

[Jay]

Lovely Merc and CSL! I would kill to have those as my garages!!

 

[philmots]

CSL is for keeps

 

[Ian_182]

How much is the merc up for.?

 

[thecremeegg]

Fantastic example there, looks superb. And you wanna swap the CSL for a scirocco?! Madness!

 

[Naith]

my dad had a white merc exactly the same back in't day

the c**k used to bowl round like robert deniro

 

[MATT BLACK]

That is stunning - im a big fan of old mercs and that makes me smile
