Cars for Sale

190E W201

This car is light green colour 1985 year. I love it. Body in excellent condition, was never in any smash. Still driving to work. Roof can be opened, still works. Windscreen has crack, just recently got it. Engine needs to be replaced. Price $3,000 ONO. Phone Tamara 0404 402 363

280SE W116 1975

Lanes Motors delivered, Yellow with black MB-tex interior, from original owner’s estate, 128 000 km from new, an amazing find. I am looking for someone who really cares about cars like this to take it over from me. The fuel system has been completely overhauled from tank to injectors, but from a deceased estate, it has been unused for a while, and while it drives nicely, it will require more mechanical work for a RWC. W116s of this quality sell for around $10,000, but I will negotiate on price with someone who will really appreciate this rare survivor. A picture is posted on <www.w116.org> in Gallery. Registration No. IIM 833. Please phone James, mobile 0418 510 964 Member

300 SEL 3.5

3.5L V8 W109 1971. The chassis number is 109.056 22-005422 and it’s plated as 6/71. It came with the house we have bought in Albury. The car was last registered in 2005 in Bendigo and the second owner who I got it from has supplied the original owner’s manual, brochure booklet, etc that shows its service history for most of its life. Bought new in Tasmania and serviced by the book every 6,000 miles until about 115,000 but then the book stops and the receipts start. It’s currently showing 189,000 miles on the odometer. The interior is all there including the choice velour seats etc but the dash is cracked in some places. The good points - virtually all the other electrics appear to work (including the sunroof) and the tyres are quite new looking. The motor started with little coaxing (after I put some oil in the cylinders and turned it over without the spark plugs in it to get the oil pressure up) and it purred sweetly with no exhaust leaks. I think it’s all there (the last hubcap front drivers side is in the boot, but it’s missing a locating clip) including the jack etc. We washed it to get the dirt off so we could see out the windows but that’s it. I want to sell it as it is and let the new owner enjoy the restoration experience. I’ve been looking at the prices on Car Point etc and I figure that if I got $15,000 for it I’d be happy and the new owner would be able to make some money on it in the future if they so wished.

350SE W116 1977

Owned by 93 year-old who imported the car privately from the UK in 1984, where it was delivered new, so it is a K-Jet with no ADR27. This car is fully sorted, everything works, and it has no rust, having been garaged all its life. It has covered only 54,000 km in the last 26 years and a very interesting history attached to it. It currently has covered only 107,000 miles (170,000 kms). Registration no. CBS 883. I am looking for offers around $8,000 and a RWC is provided. Please phone James, mobile 0418 510 964. Member
