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.

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."

Re: Another reason to drive a "bus" into work
There are two clues Spider.
