Did you ask him if what engine was fitted. These were fitted with various petrol and the 617 turbo diesel at some stage. I had a huge model of it when I was about 5. The memory and the love of Mercs has stuck with me ever since. So cool.

Looks like it might have been this one with the rotary engine.

Same number plate? > http://we.tl/MRSDlPyVGu <

Re: Another reason to drive a "bus" into work

I'd like to say [a] or maybe even [b] - but the truth is [c].

Couldn't stop myself!

 

a] I've fitted a Beta version of the TATA remote drive. Enabling me to race the old diesel car next to me from the lights while watching the action from the sidelines.

b] No remote drive. But we were both on out way to the press launch for Chris Evans taking over Top Gear.

c] At the lights on my way home when I looked at the car that had pulled up next to me......... and thought, "I can't miss that chance. It must be illegal to abandon a vehicle  just outside Parliament, but nobody with a heart would fine me."

There are two clues Spider.

1. Empty driver seat in G

2. Grinning driver of C111
