Spotted - First S class Guess the year anyone?
Hi Guys just had to post these pics - the ODO read less than 50,000. And that colour - what was it called? Brilliant condition. Can't say enough about it and the "member of the German Shepherd dog owners club" sticker. ! Yes that's my W140.

Well - it just came up for sale today ... it's a 1976 and asking price is $15000. Obviously some emotional connection. Also says 192,860 kms....

Looks good but ...
