Thanks for the scant detail ! Is this for use as a parts car for the 6.9 ?

styria,

I took delivery of the car this weekend, but it is entirely coincidental that its the same weekend as the M100 run.  I purchased the car 1500km away from where all the other M100 owners were congregated. 

It has occured to me that if I really wanted to mess with things, if I now claimed to be MOTS, you all might actually believe me.  Certainly it would annoy the real MOTS whoever that might be.

I know of only one RED 450SEL with RED sills...... ;D
And it has a funny looking badge on the boot..... :o Sorta like a bespoke badge.
Anyway, it sounds like you are about to have a wonderful time.
Congratulations.
Regards,
BC

Lets just say that this new 116 arrived exactly 5 weeks after the trusty rusty 6.9, so handling the spousal acceptance issues was a little tricky. 

Parking space is now dire at home.  The 5 garages house the 450SL, my Ford, two 116's and my wife's car.  The 280SE and S500 are outside  :'(  :'(

Once the 450SL is sold, the S500 moves inside again.  Today (with the aid of hired labour) a new carport was excavated for the 280SE.

Seriously, there are no decent photos to post because it has been pouring with rain and overcast since I got the car.  My front lawn is a quagmire from shuffling cars around on it.

I have been such a good boy at keeping this secret for almost 2 weeks now, but it is almost time!! ;D

Yes thanks Greg.  I really wanted to get photos up before I say much more about it.

I notice you call it a 280 SE euro. Is there a difference, as if so, where ?
