Hi mizhan!
Good to know you're a classic fan too and the Pagoda is another desirable baby...
Prices have gone crazy over the last 3 years...
There's one 230SL on sale in MotorTrader asking for over 150k..
Its all original and owned by an expatriate but I reckon would require some work to bring it to concourse
condition...

Hi eggie86.
My 190SL is not concourse condition but just a class below...
Just require a little more work and replacements...
In any case its not my desire to go to that extent...

Hi erica,
You're right the 190SL is not a daily driver...
When the baby is not moving, the steering wheel weighs a ton...

To me, classics rule in design and desirability....

WOW beautiful rides. My dad & i also likes classic cars- he has the classic merc 91 500SL.

Only use it for golf ; badminton & attend function like raya open house, wedding function.

[Maniac]

I see. actually we don't opt for the power- but the beauty of the car.

It's Not the V12- V8 ones. 500SL- Maintenance is OK & parts are available easily.

If V12- Maintenance is a in a different league V12parts are ridiculous expensive & hard to get.

Maniac z/// that's one smokin' red hot chilli pepper classic.

Yes- Dash is red too. I will post some pics soon.

LOL- I bought that BMW signin London. The E36 suppose to park that spot but hehehe...but sometimes the daily ride need some rest.

Ahh, well, Just a class below concourse, is still considered a very neat example already! Considering the weather we have here, and not all of us lucky enough to have covered garages, it would really be difficult to make keep a car at concours level, let alone to maintain one!

Hehe, any pics to share of your lovely SL?

that's a nice R129 you have there.. and the 5.0 V8 is the perfect engine for it :top:

 

[haywire]

Pardon me asking, but how much is the roadtax on that mean machine (5.0)? If you dont feel comfortable dont answer it.

Haywire, can safely say that it will definitely reach 5 digits.

PS: I forgotten to add that Z// hails from Brunei.

Haha, no worries. Not in a hurry.

So you keep the SL under wraps, or under the roof? Gotta maintain the paintwork.

Wow, amazing.

Just curious, it's not customised by Carat Duchalatet?

 

[z///]

Hello Eggie,

I'm not too sure as the details of the car are still with the co. who auctioned these cars- they won't release it. The care taker just told me the interior is customization cost 30k.

From what I see from the ownership card- The colour is Ferrari red. Body-kit lorinser approved by the land transport.

Damn, is that 100 Brunei dollars? Just over RM200...

Ahh okok. No worries. Lorinser kit huh? :top: Very rare. Are the rims Lorinser ones too? Certainly resembles AMG ones in my opinion.

Wow, 30K job. Lotsa work must've been carried out to make the interior as cosy and superb as the pic certainly shows. :top:

 

[z///]

eggie- wheels is AMG 3 piece- body kit is Lorinser.It came like that.

yes- only thing is during noon- it's hard to drive as the glare from the red dash reflects my eyes.

haywire,

yes- 175BND to be exact. only insurance is expensive. 900 plus per year.

I heard also Malaysian high tax. This is why I've seen Miri sarawak people buys cars from brunei.

Ah, alright. Thanks for the clarification bro.

Hmm, glaring eh? That's a real shame, cos a car like that deserves to be seen in the bright!

Haha. Not high tax, extremely HIGH tax.

I still drive it sometimes( Buy petrol, bring to wash, polish) but most of the time my father drives it for playing golf in the evening or weekends
