Sorry Dan, with it being winter my tastes are distinctly Mercedes shaped at the moment :mrgreen:

Found this lovely one the other day, but need to eBay the Citroen first (and stop a pesky warning light coming on)

That second picture is a good one 8-)

Quite a quick sale, can't be easy selling a 7 during the dark winter months, especially in the current car climate. You know you just want some comfort for a while when a Merc barge replaces it :lol:

The wear on the steering wheel seems to indicate it's not been driven by a helmsmith but has sat on motorways for a long, long time. :lol:

I don't particularly like Mercs but I think I'd tollerate that one. 8-)

It's finally happened 😀 2004 S320 CDI two owners, FSH, in lovely condition. 115k. No pics yet sorry, but it's a silver W220 with dark blue leather and some dubious wood trim. Obvs everything's crossed that I don't have any expensive problems...

That sounds great! Probably a much safer purchase than a similar age Range Rover.

Yeah they're cheap for a reason I suppose, but I've bought as well as I can on condition and history I think...

It is bloody lovely though, driven a couple of hundred miles since collecting it yesterday and apart from the shear size of the thing in towns it's spot on.

Crap pic from the station earlier:

That looks ideal for some relaxing miles. Perfect colour too.

That's set me off looking at them on eBay :lol:

Really loving the spec and consistency of servicing intervals on this one, sounds like a great example.
