    "this seems an bit off an con too me as 39 killometres seems an little bit excessive for delivery mileage and how can it be considered new when its parts are so old. i cant see how this would be road worthy and any one considering buying it needs too think about that - Sue Previsor, Doncaster, 20/4/2012 9:39 +++++++++ First of all, that's 22 miles and that includes the mileage within the factory driving it from the production line to the test area, transporter and into the show room. A car can knock up 10 miles being moved around before it even gets to the showroom. 22 miles is less than one return trip to work and back in most normal peoples' world. Second, you clearly have no idea what "road worthy" means.Honestly. Every time you post a comment on an internet forum all you do is broadcast to the world how thick you are. I wonder why do you bother. We already know."
    - Original Ray, Liverpool, 20/4/2012 09:49

    Oh Ray !!!
    Ray is embarassing himself here, as the odometer shoes 92 miles, and the tripmeter shows 39 (miles also). I presume this has been pointed out to him in a later comment on that page - I didn't check.

    He's also breaking this W115, unusual late reg, Mercedes stopped making them in 76


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W114


    Came across an 00 reg W210 one day but it looked identical to my 97 W210, checked chassis no with MB dealer. This 97 had been lying unsold in Ireland, was moved to UK and sold eventually in 2000 with 2000 UK reg, then it came back to IRL as an import but got 00 reg here. Always check the chassis no !

    Just did the exercise. VRT is only €4,619 .....yup you've read that right.

    There is another quirk. It is not registered, and our rules require it to be 30 years since first registration. The UK use manufacture date.

    Chasing Classic cars last week the guy had one of these for sale, not convertible and an earlier modal. I know he was disappointed at the price he got at auction, but I think it was around 35k. That would make this price look good?

    It sold more or less instantly, priced too low, but someone got a bargain, or so it would seem from the pics, lets hope its going to a good home, not for squishing:eek:

    About 10 yrs ago a similar situation arose with an unregistered Irish car,
    The conversation went somthing like this.
    VRT inspector "what's the mileage ?".
    Car owner "85mls"
    VRT man "85.000mls."
    Car owner" 85mls".
    VRT man "85.000mls"
    Car owner "no it's 85mls".
    VRT man "You're not listening to me, 85.000mls".
    Car owner "Oh I get you, 85.000mls."
    VRT man "That'll be €50 please

    The wood on a Traveller is structural. Any chopped one is going to be seriously weakened. Hope it was bought as a donor car!

    Actually. That's not even delivery milage. The car wasn't driven at all. It has been "rolled" the distance. As the article says, the car was delivered without ever have had fluids in it.

    Haha. I used to live just around the corner from that place (in Pleasanton). I'd be over every 2nd weekend or so to wander around the showroom. It's always filled with stunning machinery.

    And they are worth up to £10000 so he asks €4000 which you can spend 8k on to restore . Well if that's a good idea maybe buying one for 10 k now and saving yourself endless headaches and searching for parts is a much better idea.

    ....holy crap Batman, I used to fix those, 20 years ago !! "Rare" is not the word. "Sh!t", though, may be the perfect one ! ! :D

    Major engine fubar's, those have: from memory, one belt drives everything, and when it goes, she blows !! The mod is a change to introduce a 2nd belt and duplex pullies, to drive the auxiliaries, and leave the other belt to do the motor only.

    And, it only runs 'ok'. Mmmmm......it's a big flat 4, you know, and parts don't grow on trees for them. Super squishy big old-fashioned Italian Job though !

    There was a very clean looking one of these on DD in Kildare a while back looking for about 3k from memory. Looked immaculate and more importantly original.
    I did some research on them before and it seems full lock could induce a cam belt snap !

    That ad is actually annoying me. Any car, especially ones in need of restoration needs a picture.
    And no need to tell us what a mint one costs in england.
    "Serious enquires only". This guy is serious, so he doesn't put the milage, the year or a picture, or elaborate at all on restoration :rolleyes:
    Might make nusance calls to him the ad is so bad.
