night vision - check
rear adjustable seats - check
cooled seats - g'way with your gimmicks.

looks really well and a warranty on it too hah. Must have been the dealer principals old car or something, not a chance anyone is standing over a 14 year old barge unless they're 100% sure where it came from.

Yeah, heated and cooled seats are the first thing I look for in any S/CLS/7 series etc

Surprised they aren’t in the above

its heated all round but not cooled, sadly no perforated leather so not an easy retrofit. Doesn't mention a fridge but I've found one for 500 notes on eBay, I'm really half tempted. Have been looking out for one in black with the cream interior for a while now , but they all get eastern Europed.

eric Ill give you a shout when I decide to change mine black, cream interior, LWB, facelift lights, amg body kit... pictures of it below, pics are ****, replaced the front grille with a proper OEM one, the one put on looked ridiculous...

ill say this, they are only worth buying, if LWB, in my opinion black and by throwing at least the facelift lights on. I am not paying that kind of tax, for a car you wouldnt take a second glance at...

Lights are mint, as is the car.

Whats the night vision, fridge and cooled seats scenario :pac: but yes keep me in mind

When I first saw this in an S-Class I was driving from Dussledorf to Hanover. Rental company didn't have the vectra / mondeo I booked so offered me a hyundai i10 or an S-Class. Bit of a stupid question really??



Anyway driving on those roads at night was fascinating. Looking out you could just see the red aircraft warning lights on the wind turbines. On the night vision camera you could see the vanes going around - blew me away.


Here's a shot on the strawberry beds

Very nicely spec'd 745, but expensive IMO given the mileage/number of owners/lack of NCT

Nice looking LS with appropriate reg, €2950

NCT til next year and it seems to have the spec you want in one of these, air suspension etc

That seems to be the top spec too, as it appears to have the x4 lower switches in front of the gearstick rather than the usual x3 which means the full messaging rear seat option and rear radio controls.

I know it’s very anorak, but it always puts me off when there’s a picture of the gauges and the fuel light is on. (Picture 7)

I know most barges love fuel but the idea of a thirsty V8 driving about with the fuel in reserve really irks me.

My Gs is currently doing 18mpg, equates to €10 for 30 miles, but it’s part and parcel of ruining a 3.0 motor, smiles per gallon not miles.

Aren’t valve seals a consumable part on these?
