A word of caution if you are thinking of selling the car to a BMW main dealer after re-mapping. Don't Bother...
Don't worry no intention whatsoever, can't stand my main dealer

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

Sure! :)
That should do..
Paint corrected and sealed with ple22.
Might be some swisswax crystal rock in there too.
Got to love those Dallas Mercedes SL's. I've been very tempted more than once.
I also saw a Fiat 500 for sale the other day for 10K.
Very nice collection you have there. All very cool cars.
Nice Blu/Blk with Mushroom best colour combo but I would say that as I have a 124 &129 in the same colour combination! Straight Six is the best as well in a 107 the old V8's can get a bit tappy at that age...looks clean and a low mileage one, big money now though, enjoy!Sure! :)

Thank you very much. Love old mercs.
Favourites are:
300sl gullwing / roadster.
600 grosser.
560 sec
280sl pagoda
500e
Now, the r107... This is my 2nd one. Love the looks of them. I am particular when it comes to condition... I have great guys working on it though. We just did the chassis / suspension detailing.
I drove a few r107 v8 and i have to say the 500 is very special. Whatever people say. It is a very fast car. Doesn't like corners much though. If i had find one in the correct condition / mileage / colour combo / spec, i would have had a 500.
Next one for me is 280sl pagoda.
If anyone is after a nice 2.3 16v drop me a pm. Big old merc fan myself. Here my old rally car by the dunes in the Sahara
At the moment these are our daily Runners.

Yep Gullwing is my grail and also love the Pagodas, rot boxes though from the inside out be very careful, could have bought a cracker a 73 280 SL in light blue 10 years ago for £15K and thought it was too much, got the 500E that's my 124 in Blu/Blk pic further back in the thread....2nd one I have owned and highly recommend, great drivers!
Cool, yup seen your car. Often came close to buy.
Hard to find without intergalactic mileage.
Good ones are rare and expensive.
280sl, will only buy top restored car with subframe treated etc...
Pics of my car receiving chassis tlc, new oem shocks, bushes, geo and fine detailing:
360 spider, can tell by the mirrors.
Loving the Merc, rare to find one so clean!
Picked this up a week or two ago, great little car
Your sl looks lovely. Am on the look out for a nice post facelift sl every one I've looked at has been very disappointing!
And the favourite:
My old man has a 560sec, sadly this is the only pic I can find currently. Very original in tip top condition
Despite what the magazines say, the post facelift cars rotted just about as much as the pre-facelift. The bits they galvanised were not the bits that typically rotted anyway (plenum in front of windscreen being the worst)
There were of course many other little differences that make post facelift desirable, but rust is not one of those differences.
Mine is August 1985 and has odd bits from both having been built 3 days before cut over which makes ordering parts a little bit of a lottery.
Looking at the 300 above makes me feel very depressed about the condition of my car........ Stunning looking car in excellent order
I take it from the pic he is abroad.. Would have loved to make him an offer other wise!
Added my new toy on the left. Bad photo unfortunately.
No idea why the SL looks like it is leaning..... it doesn't really !
as of 2 weeks ago - 987.2 Boxster S - superb little thing!
Stunning. Whats your daily drivers?Added my new toy on the left. Bad photo unfortunately.

I have a range rover for daily use although I do consider the SL to be my reliable car !
Not what I drive :(.
But my fav car is/was a Bentley GT,but just watching "Inside Rolls Royce" and the new Wraith might just top the Bentley GT now.
Which team do you play for ?

As of yesterday, this bad boy:
Sub zero cool.
635 csi?
Very hard to find good clean ones. Bit like my sl above, plenty of crappy ones around, but try and source a good one in a nive colour.. Good luck..
+ you share the name of a famous motoring journo from EVO..
As of yesterday, this bad boy:
Love the 635 CSI I had an 1983 628i a few years ago. Mine was Henna red with green velour Recaro interior. Sounds bad but it was ok though I would have preferred leather given the choice.
A great drivers car. Not particularly fast by today's standards but fast enough and a comfy ride with surprisingly good handling when pushed.
And of course a great looking machine to boot. I certainly wouldn't rule out another CSI in my future.
Nice bottom in the background
That's the one :)
Is there a car in the picture then?
The older one has been packed away in storage all winter but out now ready for a nice summer, hopefully.
SL65AMG & SL60AMG
12 Litres & 1000bhp between them!
As of yesterday, this bad boy:
Very nice motor - 635? what its like to drive?
635CSI auto. I drive a mint original 1989 Mk2 Golf GTI 16v as my other car, so my comparator is not a modern vehicle when I say it drives SMOOTH!
Have a few cars
My weekend toy have owned this since age of 16 (now 22) I will never sell it currently building a 1330 supercharged engine for it :)
My daily driver owned this for a year and to be honest don't really use this has been sorn since august due to being at University had to change the turbo and bottom end not long after owning it so want to get a bit of use out of it before I sell it!
Project car pick this up tomorrow gave £140 for it not 100% sure what I am going to do with it yet...
Future plans are to flog the golf in 12 month and replace it with something like a 335i or maybe a Z4 3.0 SI Coupe basically something around the £10 - £12k mark as finish Uni in a month and have a graduate job secured so will be able to afford something more decent!
when its not raining I have a Joyner buggy which I can take on the road and also green lane with. the experience is similar to a cross between piloting a rally car and a tiger moth. on a sunny day its a total blast
The older toys which both get regular excercise
I am so jealous of the last 2 cars!
