Meggalla, wait until you get a quote for the tranny before celebrating further...uncle's 6.9 SEL cost 10K almost 10 years ago.
Even with the tranny rebuild, it sounds like it is still a bargain,Comment

Meggala
that is tidy !
unusual that it has a cloth interior... i thought all the 380's had leather. ???
I remember been taken to school in a 380SEL - the creaking of leather was almost deafening :pOriginally Posted by RotaUte: Some say he carries around a 5D and a beat up teddy bear, all we know is... he's called THE QComment

Q, I got taken to school in German Luxury too, and I too remember loud creaking noises. But I think it came from the suspension and chipboard fittings of the Kombi camper the oldies used to have...Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

My Dad actually had one of these. Made it himself by cutting a hole in the roof. Would be considered criminal now, but in those days they were just cheap bangers. We lived in the US at the time and everyone would laugh at how small it was compared to the Winnebagos etc that the yanks drove round!Originally posted by QROFL :rotflol: classic

No, it was a '72 and was sold to some pommy backpackers in the late 80's I remember water coming up through the floor as Mum overtook a flooded hilux 4x4 in the brisbane floods of '83-84? going through chermside I think it was.
Ironically enough I found a split screen Kombi and Country Buggy on a bush scrap heap. The guy wouldn't sell them as he was "going to do them up one day" then the bushfires went through and the land manager had a scrap merchant come and take the lot away while this bloke wasn't around. So two very rare cars are gone for good.Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

nice W126. should only be about $1200 for a gearbox rebuild. it's not that bad (similar money to what i paid to get my W114 box redone) 10k rebuild for a 6.9 gearbox? did that involve a partial engine rebuild also? i've seen dealer rebuilt engines for $12k
that scrap heap wasn't near singleton was it secoh? the one on it's side out over the redenberry bridge?. my old boy has a country buggy and a 'thing'
wonder what the W126 380 performs like against a W116 450? it looks like an SEL, is it? i hope you dont get some superiority complex over SE drivers like some other people i know
i used to get driven to school in a 1973 Twin Cab Kombi, now that was style. (and a waste of a pobjoy full steroid 1916cc!)Comment

ok peeps its an 82 aussie delivered the klms look genuine got a quote of 2-3k on the box which is a rebuild by some one I know if the parts are cheaper I get it cheaper all the electrics including the heater and aircond work cept for the drivers window, interior is good leather would have worn better but the sheepskins are going on.
suspension is good too.
re pimpin it yes evo I'm already scouring yahoo japan and found a fairly priced kit compared to the aussie/euro stuff rims I waiting to talk to a mate .
other wise some dep dish suckers :D from jp gosh their bits re cheap.
re performance compared to the450 our 450 was clapped out so this is faster off the mark its not quick but on the freeway its a dream its really nice to be back in a merc
my next merc will be an s class. yes this is an sel ?whats an se
