Model: Mercedes S-class - S320 Year: 1997 Mileage: 180-something Tax: nope MOT: nope Location: Norwich Price: £400 £350 Contact: Oh, seven eight oh two, six, treble seven, double one. Additional Information: 1997 S320 Trackday car:  Only been used on track once (Marham, April '09) Car has pretty much been sat since. We are emigrating to Germany at the end of the month, so it has to go! It is worth loads more as a breaker, but I really don't have time to 'part it out'. It is very stripped (some 400kg!), it is loud, it is raw and it is a bloody good laugh! It is fairly fast, goes around corners like it's on rails (no, really - it has surprised quite a few people!), and the brakes are superb! Currently has a nice set of MX5 seats.  Will come with v5 (currently SORN), and it should simply need a set of headlights (£100 pair), side windows securing (mechs removed) and some rear tyres for MOT. On saying that, the noise it makes invokes you to drive it like you stole it, so possibly best to leave it as a track car! Either that or break it. The gearbox alone is worth £350 on eBay (it has the expensive later 5-speed auto) and works very well. It comes with these 18" wheels, which again command a good price on eBay:  (There are no headlights now as they went in one of my other S-classes) Will obviously need trailering away... Cheers, Chris.

Holy guacamole... I need to phone you, I've been out of the country for a couple of weeks and won't be back for another couple yet. But yup, we'll speak before you head off. Good news  I'm trying really hard to not buy this, it would make a great winter daily... *looks out of window at diesel Range Rover  ;D* |

Have a bump for the whole week Oooh, thanks Oldbus! I got to page 5 wondering where the hell my car advert had gone! Have some more pics... Before it was stripped:  How much wire? Do NOT cut the blue one...  Getting there...  Yes, yes, intake could do with being moved forward of the exhaust!  MX5 seats welded to original rails  A minor mod that switches all the driver aids off without dropping it into limp mode.  Cruise, ABS, traction and brake assist all work when this link is removed. It does this...  ...when doing this  |

So, jaw-droppingly, full, of WIN! ;D
Bank account so full of fail. Which is a shame, as I'd love to see my ex-wifes face if I came to pick up my daughter in this. ;D

I want those wheels in my life. If the car doesn't sell in the next week, I'll be breaking it, so the wheels will be for sale separately Would obviously prefer just to sell it as is though as time is a little precious this month! And I want to see the car live on of course... |

Going by the price of Mercs over there, I am amazed anyone can afford to drive them! The TÜV test is going to be interesting enough on some of our other cars! We have too many vehicles (6) - this is one that drew a short straw... We are moving to Düsseldorf. It is good to see a few guys from Germany on here.. RR meet at The Nürburgring anyone? |
