If anyone is interested please note that the car is not a drive-away and I am in Farmville, Virginia + it is best to call me or text me (i.e. no PM etc.)
All of the pictures are in the CL posting... Thank you. |

Interesting that there is no picture of the dash or gauges.

Oh well, I have been caught. Special Counsel called in!
Anyone interested in seeing the dash & guage cluster (actually has nice near-orange needles too...) please let me know. CL cut me off at 23 images & I just tried to load some on this site but can't figure out the re-sizing. I took an updated shot this evening of the actual guage cluster showing the current mileage etc. If it satisfies, I can place a copy of my birth certificate next to the guage cluster. NOTE: the images you see in the CL posting are the ones from the seller I bought from in Indiana. He, Alex, bought the car in Illinois. So the car is Texas->Illinois ->Indiana ->Virginia (me...). |

I have finally managed to post a picture taken on 18 February 2019 of the actual guage cluster/odometer/speedo for this 300E.
I have received a number of questions re. Oil/Collant mix etc. & condition of the head gasket. While I and the previous interim owner found no trace of oil/coolant mixing I cannot attest to actual condition of the M103 engine internals. I simply don't know for a fact. Worst case scenario in my view is that you are buying a platform with a great body & great, Recaro, interior. Frankly, if I could slip this interior into my '88 300TE (aside from the front seats...) then I would. |

Are all of the sportline specific parts still in place (rack, springs, etc.)?

I really want this car. I've always thought the red 124s were great.

Sale pending
A buyer from Georgia has remitted a deposit & offered above my asking price so a sale is pending. If that falls through on Friday 1 March then I will udpate this posting.
NOTE: the car does run for a few seconds before cutting off. I know that is not monumental, but want to be clear that we know that the engine does run. There seems to be a fuel delivery issue here, but I certainly don't have the technical credentials to determine more than that... Oil is strong & clean (meaning no signs of moisture) Coolant is normal (meaning no signs of oil mixture) No fluid leaks at present Again, I will keep this posting updated on Friday either way. |

Red Sportline remains available.
I will post it to BaT this evening. Original CL posting has been updated. |

Sounds like a fuel pump relay.

I replaced the EHA today (swap out) with another used EHA assembly & we got it running for just over 12 minutes - even the idle was smooth. Then it died.
