Thought I would update you all with this fine specimen.

some v8 goodness, with a full years ticket. The exhaust has been stolen from the cats back so we are welding some pipe in today 😂 it did mean it was just £250 and all that rust hiding awful vinyl was already in situ as comically someone thought that looks nice. Result 😂View attachment 328654
I think I was behind this in Moneymore last week. Assuming it was it, can’t be many silver W208 with black paint !

Ha the sunvisor is the name of the rally 😂

A decatted 4.3v8 was also doing 11mpg for it might not have been ideal for the trip in hindsight 😂

How utterly horrific


I'm pretty sure @lightning nearly had a major accident with my wife and 5 others in one of these in Spain, circa 07. Unmarked roadworks on a motorway when we were in convoy at about 80mph and he lost the back end over a asphalt ridge. I was a passenger in the car behind and no idea how he held it. One of those ropey moments you can look back and laugh about but it could have been bad!

I never actually understood how a designer stepped back looked at that ssyaong rodeo and went yup that’s it that’s what I was trying to achieve. Or the entire way through the testing and development stage nobody questioned it’s horrifying looks. I really don’t get it. Also a 2.7 merc 5 cylinder cdi unit it that a sprinter engine 🤣

I read somewhere that there is minimal merc parts in them, like they simply share the same engine block or something.
