1974 Mercedes-Benz 250 review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have put 40 000 kms on this car, now showing 280 000 kms and have only had to replace the timing chain.
General comments?
Great smooth riding classic car. More reliable than a donkey. Is thirsty though. If purchasing one check for rust in the floorwells and in and around the firewall/engine bay.
