Are they not a straight 6 ?

I was thinking of his Explorer.

That is an absolute gangster machine... That leather looks very very inviting for the behind.

I love top end German machinery that used to cost crazy clams but which is now very affordable on the second hand market.

It's a Cosworth head

MMMMM now that i like,.

Apparently the manual are the ones to get of them, the autos are meant to be a bit touchy.

John

nothing to do with what i want, just what ive herd

There are examples on there with 240,000 miles on the clock, this has a third of that. you'll be lucky to find a manual, 11 out of 78 on there. I saw the car yesterday and can only say it looks in pristine condition apart from the air con and a couple of niggles, stick a cheap private plate on and you could mistake it for a lot newer. If you don't trust it that's fair, I'll tell him you won't be bidding on it because you've heard a rumour about the gearbox, I know it'll ruin his day but what do you do?
the autos are meant to be a bit touchy-- I'm sure Mercedes didn't mean to make a gearbox that was easily upset but if you only say nice things about it you should get along fine
