Not a 131 but a MB W116 280S I bought today

[hector]

never mind them boys albert it is a beautiful car  as for sense of irish humour cork is the strangiest

[CkRacing]

Are you Hector the dog from Hectors House on tv in the 60s early 70s? & Albert is there a good banger racing scene in Holland? that is what you are going to do with that pile of poo merc?

any movement yet redx19?

[mirafioriman]

Just because you may not like Mercs there is no need to be rude about another members car. Albert is a true enthusiast with some lovely cars and if he chooses to add another to his collection whatever it is good for him.

There appear to be too many people on here at the moment being negative towards others. By all means express your opinion but we should try to consider others feelings.

[eugene]

Well said Mirafioriman.Albert,take no notice as they are just JEALOUS of you .Eugene

[theredx19]

Spot on Eugene your right there alot of condescending people who often say that cars are not worth what they are looking for. As for me not liking Mercs they may not be my cup of tea but Alberts is a clean one but if I had a contempt for Mercs I would have cut my s class up for parts rather then basically give it to a local lad who had a passion and wanted to restore it to its glory 

[theredx19]

God I even had one of them as a tow car but it was the 280 se model but I hated it that much the only pleasure I had was ramming the auto-box back into 1st at 50 mph, how that engine screamed in pain? but Albert she is a clean looking lump of a car , well wrecking the engine was part of this unknown thing called "the Irish sense of humour "

Shes a nice beast albert. My opinion is any car in that condition is worth looking after. And that goes for any car from a rolls to a lada!!! Good luck with her.

[theredx19]

That is 131nz I agree no matter what car someone has and even what condition it is in if they enjoy it that is all that matters in the end as once there are real car lovers who help to protect and preserve what ever marque they are into

[theredx19]

How much Mark and is she fast enough for me 

[bellamacchina]

At least there is some discussion. What a shame that some people are more stupid as a peanutshell.
When I bought my orange Racing a lot of people told me to bring it to the scrapyard, it had rust and above that, that horrible colour
As I can believe the stories a MB Gullwing was completely out in the mid 60s and almost impossible to even give away.
The W116 isn't up to everybodies taste, not even up to mine to be honest, but this car is so truly nice, unmolested and original that I just had to take it. I hope to find another lover who understands what is a nice car. And with nice I don't mean the make but the perfect condition of it. And yes that can be a Lada, a Toyota or a Rolls Royce. That doesn't matter at all.

Well Albert she looked well in the garage area but with the sun on her she looks even better there but as far as I know my old one is alive and restored as with the gearbox the way it was when I got you had to abuse it unfortunately as she kept kicking up and down the box but the engine did take it well....
