TANKS, proper proper TANKS

So much better built than the newer S Class. Many view these as the last of the proper Mercedes.

Very good cars. Can be very very costly if electrics and aircon go wrong BUT they are very good cars

Just getting warmed up at 140k... they don't build these cars they chisel them out of granite.

After the Nuclear war kicks off in the middle east in a few weeks time, the only thing left in the world alive will be Coakroaches and old S Class mercs!

My mate had an S600 with a humungous V12 engine and evry conceivable extra.

Was 100k new and he picked it up earlier this year for £8000 on the R reg.

Crazy stuff.....

Bomb proof car, would recommend.
