We finally found a great little MB.. An 85' model.. all original, even down to the owners manuals and receipt for purchase from Newcastle Suzuki back in 86.

It drives like a dream.. no rough spots and is quite the little head turner.. It was down at Umina.. and the previous owner for the last 14+yrs was a 76 yo woman who loved it as much as we do.

Will upload some photos in the next few days... :)

Cheers'

Charmed.

Sounds like the long wait paid off.
What have you got planned for it?

127,000Klms It's like it's been kept frozen in time, original paint, seats,carpets, chrome bars.. you name it.

The previous owner has just been diagnosed with early signs of dementia.. and sadly she is now on medication which prevents her from driving.

Apparently they had lots of interest in it and one gentlemen had even come and looked at it 3 times, but kept trying to bater with them I think... It came with 12mths rego, ctp and a full tank of fuel.. :D

Will get some shots of her today for you.. She's a beauty.

Compare them to a VR Commodore or something and they are bloody rare to pick up though.

Do feel sorry for the old lady though. Suppose a posative for you though mate!

It wasn't the little red 'un that was parked in Belmont shopping center near the bank on Saturday, was it?

If so, I nearly walked off with it :twisted:
