Funny you mention that. I was just looking at the SWB that's been on carzone for a long time before you posted this.

@junkyard - surely this is a car you must own one day?

Had one about six years ago unkel, a bit of a minefield of a car tbh. I know of another original Irish one sitting in a shed in poor condition in Cork. A lovely car the 600 but really not for everyday use.

Il bet..whats the fuel consumption..
Why do you say its a bit of a minefield of a car junkyard?

Very good looking car though.

They arent an easy car to park, so just leave it on a double yellow line.

Not a particularly nice car to drive tbh, a bit of a handful. As regards maintaining it, it was a minefield, a very complex car, almost everything in it is air powered or air assisted, one small leak and everything went belly up. It looked the part though no doubt about that, it turned heads wherever it went.

everything in the car from the window switchs to the moveable rear seats are hydraulic and a total mare. A litre of hydraulic fluid is 70 euro....avaiation hydraulic fluid if you can get your hands on some will surfice and far cheaper. Pal of mine has one here amongest many mercs. no thanks

Bit like a hot blonde so..nice to look at,but awkward and expensive to maintain.And if your not carefull she'll stop working altogether and sit at home looking pretty...
