The diesel may be high over there, but the good thing is that most of the smaller diesel vehicles get 50+ a gal....

And there's me looking at the American Rust-Free cars, thinking wouldnt it be great to grab one of those!--That pick-and-pull thread lead me to see many rust-free W123 bodies over there--neglected, shabby and forlorn yes--But rust-free....
--Wear, caused by poor repairs deferred maintenance and interstellar meilage and mechanical issues is Much easier than dealing with UK Corrosion issues deep in a W123 chassis!
I would pick a rust-free body over any/all mechanical problems every time!
Yup--We got loads of cockroach bodied high MPG Diesel cars here--But they are all Horrible--modern plastic crap--You can have 'em all!
