Thanks guys. The wiring harness has been replaced about a year before the car was parked, as well as a host of other work - air pump replaced; tranny resealed; front end work; and a new battery. The battery may or may not come back to life. It is dead as a door nail and I had to switch the battery out of my 350SD in order to start the 140.

The tires on the car look very, very good - no dry rot showing, excellent tread with no wear showing. They are a matching set of Bridgestone's.

I do most all the work on my other Mercedes - '66 230S, '67 250SE coupe, '67 250SE sedan, '80 300SD, '89 300TE, '89 300SE, '91 350SD, '92 500SL. I also have a '95 E320 cabriolet with leaky top cylinders. The 140 will add just one more project to my list of 'things to do'.

Thanks again. I will post the results of my offer.

Tom
