[johnnyw116]

after years of pleasure i sold my 1976 280SE and i bought a 1974 350SE with first paint , and it runs great on petrol and LPG the only work that the car has is the interior the leather is old and damaged , the 350 drives smoother than my 280 but the 280 was full options and now i only have automatic tranny , tacho , columshifter and a sunroof it feels a litlle robbed  but it do have something my 280 didnt have 15inch bundcakes    or as we call them kroonkurk velgen  .     

greetings : johnny

Nice car johnny! I hope you enjoy it as much as you did the 280.

Those 15" kroonkurk velgen are worth the swap!

Ahh welcome to d-jet Johnny   Agreed about the 15" kroonkurk velgen.

[johnnyw116]

yes the 15'' kroonkurk with good michelins made me say yes        
the previous owner didnt even know about the 15" kroonkurk he couldnt see or tell the difference between the 14'' or 15'' kroonkurk
i spotted the 15'' kroonkurk when i was an mile away from the car

I have to say I was not convinced of the superiority of the 15" wheels when I first heard of their glory.  I have to say I am now convinced!  I have always loved that color.  Is that thistle green? Petrol green? What is the code?

Nice car! (but I'm biased  )

I like the idea of the 15" wheels, as it makes the tyres much cheaper and easier to find - the 205/70R14's are very expensive because few cars need them.

That colour looks like mine (Silver Green, no.861) - and, according to www.astralsilber.de , Thistle Green was only available from '79 onwards, so it looks like it is Silver Green.

yes i thought also that the color is silvergreen 861 , and i am going to take a look a the color code this week
indeed the 15'' are easier to find , i also love whitewall tyres and these also easier to find in 15''
