haha this is great (from the comments)

Cost - £350, Service - £400 to make it fully roadworthy, £140 for 4 MB alloys and firestones that had done 1000 miles. Comment from 17 year old nephew that it's "proper old skool" absolutely priceless!

I hao copy this article and make a post on have your say! Out of all the vehicles I have ever owned I can honestly say this one has been the most satisfying! I would gladly spend thousands to rebuild the motor when necessary.
