Re: The ebay thread
Thanks, looks very good for the money as it is a fair amount of work to do the conversion. A bit of tidying and it'd easily be worth more in the summer/post-covid - obviously £3k is the money he wants.
The missus is not quite so keen, especially as I don't really fit in the mk3.

Terrible ad
My guess on the hammer price is £13k mainly because it's such a horrible colour combination

My dad had a '92 with the auto box. They're lovely things for wafting about in and feels proper old-school Mercedes. But they're most definitely not fast and will need a heavy right foot to keep up with traffic.
To me it isn't the kind of car you have with a manual box, so I'm out.

Dealers used to retrofit a/c into these and the first gen c class when they were current models, so as long as you can get the buttons I doubt it would be much of an issue.
I’ve never driven a manual, but the auto was happy cruising at speed once you’d finally reached it.
