Another blue one popping up again is #6225 in Victoria.  Bought by current owner in 2016, its on carsales for $44,000.  An australian car with the rare velour (for our market anyway, as essentially all had leather), it has no radio.  same seller attempted to sell a couple of years ago.  it has 284,000km on it. it has had accumulators done recently PS the forum update is really making mince meat of attachment of pics. sorry about this!

6341 eng.jpg#6341 is up for sale on trading garage here in australia.  Im a bit miffed by this one, and buyer beware.  Its listed as australia, but has a euro oil cooler, no compliance plate, and no 625 option code on it -its a euro.  Also, they list 88000km, the last two sellers clearly stated this was miles.  The body looks ok in photos but closer not so great.  No chin spoiler, they have screwed some of the chrome trim on below the doors (arghh!).  The snake skin wrapping of the interior wood is appalling. Its previously been in Adelaide and then Darwin! I think John green worked on it at MB spares at one point too.  Previous number plates include snake skin dash bx85yq and then 541882.  Its been for sale in 2010 and 2016 . we will see what the auction closes at as its already 20k with one week left. Note the old pic I had of it when it had 5 spoke 'pentas' on

Also has a black reservoir for washer fluid.  Must be some kind of repop.

Hi Daniel,  The black washer bottle is just them painting it as it was likely just filthy.  Not sure why on earth people would do that rather than just clean it up!  We have different washer bottle reservoirs than LHD cars, and they are very hard to find.

oh dear....err..that rhs looks a bit rough. ::)

just noticed, this Versions do have one water tank at the right side of the engine compartment, where I have in my European Version the ABS. My both Tanks are on the left side. How would it look like if your version would have ABS as well or was ABS not available in Ausieland?
happy having finally a 6.9 # 7271 in my garage, ...so nice to cruise!

nathan

This is a good question BMA, I have not seen an Australian delivered 116 with ABS.  The ABS was on 1980 models only I recall?  The water bottle was always located there on the Left side as the steering column comes down the Right side so it had to be moved.  Admittedly, isn't the ABS really tucked over to one side near the quarter panel and could still fit?

@nathan: ABS was launched end of 1978, very first car to present was a 6.9. From 7380 produced 6.9 worldwide only 200 were ordered with ABS!....Why?....Customers were sceptical and mainly the rich owners argued: "My Chauffeur can better brake than such a modern system"  ;D  I am not kidding! ....look at our W116-Daddy, showing the European 6.9 with ABS

Ta BMA.

A few 6.9s sold in the last couple of weeks.
#5683 has returned from 2020 lloyds online auction, now on Shannons auction.  asking 20-30k with no reserve, it previously sold for 22500 in 2020. has done <500km in that 2 years.  Has a bit of rust from the pics but overall looks like a used, but still moderately low km car (259000km).  I think the car market is cooling from covid highs but lets see what happens to it!

so this one on FB group 116 australia reportedly sold for 10k.  230000km, it looks very rough, still, its the lowest priced sale of a 6.9 I think im aware of in 5-10 years. thats where they are. I dont have a VIN or any other data sadly of this car in Byron bay nsw.

and here we have it, a new champion.  $95,000 reportedly. sold this one with is #6184.  a very nice looking car with a low 109,000km.  Looks legit and tidy, not much one could fault here for an Australian car.  I think  its one I have on record from about 2004 when it was selling for $46000 which at the time was a wild price for a 6.9.  enjoy!

Thanks for Sharing Nathan, truly a remarkable price... Happy to see generally speaking! Makes me feel that my efforts on mine are not in vain!

nathan

so #5899 has popped up in the ACT, not a common spot for 6.9s despite our former prime minister owning a 116 during his tenure.  Silver on blue, its an auction site so not sure on finishing price.  An australian Lanes (Melbourne) delivered car, it has 198,000km on it.  The car is tidy, not mint but relatively low kms. It has seome very deep blue door cards which look like they probably did when new.  It has a round suspension knob of interest, otherwise nothing out of the ordinary and the website gives little details.
