I should think that is near enough top money, they usually go for less than that!

I had one many years ago and loved it

saying that i soldit and bought a 2wd saff cossie

There a funny car to value as you see them from £1500 to £10,000

A bit like sierra cosworths there price is dependant on condition rather than miles etc

A very origonal car in good condition is worth good money

Mercs suffer from a lot of electrical issues / body rot and rear suspension issues , so buying a very good example is as hard as finding a good saff

I have been looking at the Merc cossie for a while now thinking of buying another to keep and the good ones seem to be around 5k

Was it Almandine? My friend has a 2.5-16 and it's that colour. It's a very solidly built car, handles well and very well tied down at the back. We've had a few good drives in Wales together
