Very tempted to go and see this car

Too big, too thirsty and they are absolute rot boxes. The old two door Mercedes of the sixties have a certain something though, and the build quality was excellent. I suspect, even as a left hooker, and with stuff needing doing, the fact it's rust free will see it achieve a very good price, probably around 20 K, which is more than I'd want to pay for a car that realistically would get occasional use. At 12K it would be a good buy, IMHO, and kept correctly would certainly hold its value or maybe go up, depending on how things pan out in the next few years....

It's a gentleman's car, and as such probably wasted on me :) With the best will in the world I would have to be honest and say the car would be unrecognisable inside after a year, as I would be bound to give way and take a dog or two out in it, have the odd gearbox in the boot, and "just this once" get in it in oily clothes and shoes rather than move it and use a workhorse, and get the odd fag burn on something. I have to admit pristine road cars and I were just never meant to be.

Thought you were going to say it'd be stripped out with a cage and bucket seats fitted :)
