20K for the rangerover? :eek: Even 2.5-3K was sounding high to me, but I guess it would be wasted on me, I don't care about original anything and just looking for a pre 1980 run around that has the cheap tax and no need for nct :pac:
Its like when you go drinking in the park with mates, and you can't decide between bringing the '82 Margeux or the flagon of Frosty Jack.

There was this brown woody Mercedes benz pick up on donedeal this morning, but it's gone now. 1300 euro, 3 litre petrol automatic.
If I would have few extra grand I would make it look like this:
And I would go further... I would raise the rear of the car, put on some proper wide wheels + wide wheel arches, loud side pipes... tinted lights, smoked rear lights. No chrome trim, just all black tyre slaying machine. Manual gearbox and zillion horsepower engine.
Chain steering wheel with pentagram... just a crazy one off hot rod

Indian assembled, manual 250 diesel. Great cars and good value if they have been looked after in the early years. They can be terrible rust buckets if not! I have seen a few with broken springs and rotten subframes
how can you tell that it was Indian assembled? I think I read somewhere before that the Indian built one were ever so slightly narrower, but I find that hard to believe, so I'm doubting myself already
Also, I'm not too up on the minutiae of W124, but I thought it was the TD models only that had the grill in the wing for cooling?? Perhaps you can enlighten me

looking into that I see they added about 60Kg of reinforcement into the chassis and heavy duty, longer springs to deal with Indian roads. Which means it had at least a fighting chance of dealing with Irish roads....
Down side was about 20% extra fuel consumption ( weight combined with low compression engine)
A reinforced W124
It must be unstoppable.
Seller sounds reasonable, and has a set of alloys included in the deal, so dont let hubcaps put you off.0 -

Simple. The Indian assembled cars went on as kits to mid 1999 although I have seen a few with a 00 reg! They have a raised ride height, aircon and manual, came with an M111 2.2 or am M605 2.5 diesel. Most had no arm rests in the front and some had a sumpguard. An awful lot of them came in Azurite BlueI think I read somewhere before that the Indian built one were ever so slightly narrower, but I find that hard to believe, so I'm doubting myself already
They might be referring to the track but I doubt it.Also, I'm not too up on the minutiae of W124, but I thought it was the TD models only that had the grill in the wing for cooling?? Perhaps you can enlighten me
No normally aspirated diesel cars came with the wing vents towards the end of the W124's life. The vents on the wing were for the air intake, not cooling. See pic of another E250D

Yes and noNo normally aspirated diesel cars came with the wing vents towards the end of the W124's life. The vents on the wing were for the air intake, not cooling. See pic of another E250D.
The grille on the right front wing was in the W124 models with the following engines:
- OM 602.962 (2.5 Turbodiesel),
- OM 603.960 (3.0 Turbodiesel),
- OM 605.911 (2.5 20V Diesel) - as on the photo,

Perhaps I should have said normally aspirated cars also came with the wing vents towards the end of the W124's life. Its what I meant!0 -

"insure it as a minor"
"or get it sorted out whatever way they feel happy with themselves", whatever way they feel happy with themselves?? Hah, if only it were so easy! You're at the mercy of the insurance agencies! The hassle I had trying to get cover on my Spitfire that had a Toyota engine replacement (of the same HP and CC!!) :rolleyes:0 -
