Thanks to Casey here, these lovely pods are now on their way to me!

floyd111

and.. for those that weren't aware yet: the complete seat-heating system (except the pods) is available brand new, official reproductions at VDH Mercedes in Germany. And.. way cheaper too, than 2nd hand oldies, and cheaper than the original MB pricing from back when.

Very nice, reclining rear seats  :o you will be up to some mischief I suspect Stan  ;D

There won't be any space for mischief with all those accessories packed in ;D

Here is how VDH gets the parts..

Sad story. I'd probably just give up after being robbed three times in same place.
But, yeah, those guys are providing some awesome service for their members. I haven't seen any other European MB club do this.

No words..

Well, actually, I have words, but in order to keep world piece.. I'll be silent, just like Horst.
Especially since I also had stuff in there that was destined to arrive here. Aluminium hoods and bonnets..

floyd111

ta-daaaa.. Another set :P

It was a superb hunt yesterday.. A big make-good for the lousy 6 weeks that just passed, with dozens of hours spent and little or nothing to show for..

floyd111

A few hours later, I did a non-related search, and a known NOS supplier's page turned up, where I found this thing, he forgot to offer me
An original M110 York clutch
800-900usd in some places.. Got it 10x less.

floyd111

Tried a few new keywords on German EBAY, and the second set of W116 suitcases popped up, after going through 500 listings..
I now have more cases than the original 7 set, so I'll be offering the surplus suitcases here soon.. and not for a fortune..

Just read a forum where some guy searched for 11 years, to get 1 set.. That's rare.

floyd111

Little pick-me up, for 20usd and free shipping..

floyd111

and..to top up the day, a very rare Fanfare high-tone.

It started off in the very early morning, with 2 NOS front bumpers popping up at 35% of retail value..

Damn it Stan, one of these is mine! :P
If you got a deal on both, one of us has been cheated...
