Looks like a decent motor. How much would the VRT set you back?

I bought a 95 one last year for small money taxed and tested for nearly a year. The wife drove it for 4 months and it sold for a nice little profit. Last of the proper mercs, they really were bomb proof.

Volvoboy

Ok i got another one;

1994, 213K klms, T/b done & waterpump @206K, 2lt Diesel (My 1st Diesel:D) Automatic, One lady owner from it being imported in 1998, Nct'd And Tax'd, All electric and airconditioning. Toyota Corona
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
€350

Only thing she needs is a oil change (they supplied the filter Fooking huge) R/H/R window not working, Scuff on the back bumper and marks on the front.

I'll get a few pics up when it's bright out.

Ooooooh Nice! Air-con a 98 plate (actually built in 96 though!), but wait manual I'll pass.

Were they made in 96 or did they keep making them in the far east for the Asian market for another couple of years. I was told before that they made them in Malaysia until 98 but I dont know how true this is.

You need your head examined:D

Drummerboy08

Did enjoy the clatter of the Diesel alright, but stopped idle feels like she's gonna konck out although being idle just a gee hair under 1,000 RMP, just take a bita getting used too.

India until 2000 however those cars stayed in Asia.

I do know the estate model was in production until 98 as the w210 load carrier was not ready. I belive that some saloon models were being assembled from the parts stockpile for 2 years after the official end of prodction and trickled out into the market for up to 3 years after so you could see a 99 plater. Someone may know better.

Yeah but didnt some of these cars end up being sold in Asian markets and then imported into the UK via the grey route.

mike65

I guess thats quite possible, the w210 was a dissapointment and I would imagine the slab-sided honesty of the w124 would still have a market. God know I'd buy one before anything they've made since.

I drove my aul fellas carina e today and when i was stopped at the lights(even though the cams are rattling on her) i had to put down the window to hear was she still running. Now thats crazy!

Was about to pick up the phone about that lancia, until I noticed it was LHD. Wanna treat myself to something nice for my upcoming birthday. I'm finding the Cefiro too hard to thrash around the place. A rally-bred 4wd would suit better for bombing down country lanes on the way to work.

Never made them in RHD as far as i know

That Laguna is overpriced by about €1499.....:D

Ah know, if your not looking to spend a huge amount of money, then its a winner....
