They are rare...

I think.... They are snapped up pretty quick for the cranks as they are used for the 2.7 Conversion

there was a black left hand drive 324 badged one local to me a few years ago, never really paid it much attention to be honest and i thought someone was being funny with the numbers

they did bring the 525ix to the uk though, there were a few of them kicking about the workshop in the mid 90's and i've seen a few 4matic 300 mercs knocking about the place too
