    Apparently not forsale............

    Not forsale, but this is how good metal slowly die here in South Africa.........Amazing, will let it rot away rather than to sell to a restorer that will give it a new leash on life

    its a shame. people that abuse cars, like leave them rusting, dont wash them, drive them into the ground etc, should be shot. maybe the owner of this grand old merc will realise the error of his ways in time and release her to be pampered by an enthusiast.

    Life's too short to drive bad cars.

    I believe it was either James May or Jeremy Clarkson that dubbed it the "dictators' car" in a TG episode

    Actually it has gotten it's name from the fact that almost all dictators in the 50's-80's drove that car! (especially the African's).
    Which is loooong before TG came up with the joke.
