A friends wife had one - IIRC they don't handle amazingly, and the roof was a constant pain in the arris.. but other than that, nice cars ;D

[edit] Much rather have an R129 or R230 myself ;)

No worse than the Trolley then ;D Andat least the gearbox will cost less to change than an A Class clutch :-X

Just need to see if Mother can get in (and out again)... If not, then that should nicely justify a full fat S Class :-X
