    Very nice condition 82-D Mercedes W123 parked in my work carpark (in one of our spaces too; never seen it before though) yesterday. Got a photo but no USB cable here... don't normally see classics around except mackerski (I think)'s DAF/Citroen GS.

    Out in Oz, they like the olde front wire steel grille in them to use as a grill for a bar-B-Q for any roadkill they may venture across.

    No, Series 1 I think (IIRC Series 2 had ribbed back lights)

    The diesel were, IIRC, a Peugeot 2.3 or Fords own 2.5, but I'm leaning to 2.5. The 2.8 was most deffo petrol (150hp I think, and 160 for 2.8 injection)

    How hard is the car driven? I noticed the tax, insurnace & NCT on the side window. Is it driven so hard and sideways (a la Mk2 Escort) that it's the new windscreen:D

    ..........I think the boys were referring to the Landie, not the Granada, as in series 1 Land Rover diesel.

    You are correct AFAIK about the Ford engines, the one shown is a series 2, the series 3 had ribbed rear lights.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    We sold a yoke last year with 4666, but they might not sell 666 alone. Typical, making you pay the 1k for it lol

    I've seen this car in the flesh. All is not what it seems. It's running with the engine from a 220bhp Audi TT. I drooled all over it
