<CHOKE> <CHOKE> HA!!!

Actually, what I find that's ugly in the 114 and 110 is the lights, bleaghhhhh! The vertical rectangular lights in the 114/115 and
the one eyed monster lights in the 110

Here are a couple of pics of my 250 and some other pics of my other
new Mercedes if you want to check them out.

I have a little work to do on the passenger side fender but other than
that very solid and only 78,XXX miles on the clock.Interior is also
flawless.I'm looking at some euro type headlights to add to it rather
than the ones currently on it now.

You're a true fanatic! Is the 250 the one with one carburettor? You got an additional intake manifold lying around? A friend who's
got about 200 years of benzes is looking for one, hard to find without looking overseas.

an intake.Which model and year is it ?You are in the
Pacific area right?

Sure, if the search does not extend past your backyard :-)

>Which model and year is it ?

I'll take a look

Yeh, Vancouver, neighbour! Though I did make it to the Alaska highway last weekend.... ok so it was Mile 0 'cause our friends lived
around the block :-)
