Spotted in Wyalkatchem...
« on: 14 September 2008, 02:08 PM »

A W116 with Penta style alloy wheels, with one bolt missing on the rear by the look of things. Oscar, it seems there's a clone of your wrecked 280SE. Cool

TJ that's just freaky. "I can see dead w116's"  Shocked  If it was an old photo I'd say it's the same car. 

You do know mine spent time in Perth before becoming a Victorian, before I bought it?  There was a Subiaco windscreen sticker on the windscreen and some mechanical receipts under carpets and other incriminating documents like a PO's bank statement.  Most got water damaged and thrown out whilst I was wrecking it but I'm sure I've mentioned it.

Anyway, it's like seeing a ghost coming to haunt me Shocked  It's the last time I wreck a w116 Roll Eyes

Tim, you made me laugh - I was up there six months ago on a matter I'm running with and saw that same car as I drove through the town and thought "bugger, I dont have a camera - oh well...".  Well Grin done!

That's amusing, AMG69. There was also a chassis minus wheels on bricks there too, A-Z Automotive I think the place was called.
Yes, I remember you said that, about your wrecked 280SE. You wouldn't think it would be likely to see two cars with the same combination of variables like that, from WA. I mean, you don't often see Penta's on W116's, let alone 280SE's in that colour.
