Like escaping the EU, it's worth waiting for and the short term financial loss.

It could be a lot worse though, rather than a V8 it could be an invacar.

So while old Mercs are still cheap, get the engine out of a simpler, earlier one and plonk that in your engine bay if you want to keep it for life. Rwd, big engine bay. Easy job.

My grandfather drove a Jag until he gave up driving at 92. He could get in and out of it. He reckoned it being low-slung kept him fit.

Was it you posting the llamas on Autoshite? Heard of it, never saw one.
As I suspected I was right about everything.
