Just get a V8 petrol it's the best believe me.

But sadly not practical for many of us 

No, not unless I import a big estate from Oz or put up with a LHD Yank.   

Here do...

Ugh! Sticky-back plastic wood! Can it get any worse?

DG, since you're an appreciator of find old(er) automobiles, and I believe you might also be a Facebook type person - have you checked out the "classic american & custom cars & parts for sale uk" group? Lots of stuff that would float your boat, including the odd old Merc.. (I keep meaning to take a photo of the two my neighbour has, both your "ideal" vintage I believe - one drop top and one saloon)

Facebook sir?  Me sir? Ooh no sir, I couldn't possibly 

Or to put it another way, how very dare you

Joking aside, that is possibly the only productive use for it.

Occasionally a very nice 67/68 Vista Cruiser or one of it's derivatives pops up for sale... Usually 7 plus litres of practical motoring and often just cheap enough to make  you wonder how much higher the dog might fetch

Older Mercedes at sensible money are few and far between in the UK, but there's still a reasonable supply of the seventies stuff in the US that whilst not necessarily pretty, is still sound enough to have potential...

There's a late 1980s vintage E class sitting in a dealer near me - £6k.. been sitting there at least a year at this point. My neighbour's two are early 80s vintage if memory serves, and the red convertible is in perfect condition (the saloon being his daily), he tows his teardrop caravan behind it and I'm pretty sure he's got an MGB in the other garage, too.

Anyway.. every now and then things pop up in that FB group that I mean to share with you and never quite get around to it

Hmm. Might be easier to get all my gliding cr@p in the boot, and I doubt I'd notice the trailer on the back (in neither handling nor fuel consumption terms).
