RIP 123/4240 - Pictures ...

Post by Pymmie »

123/4240 is no more.

I was kindly given use of this car in 2013/2014 while my own car was being restored.

The owner decided to go for a full restoration but once back from the sand blasters it was obvious this wasnt going to be the case.

Note: everything from the car (except the body) is for sale as a job lot excluding the interior.

Call ‘Car SOS’ - they once restored a MB 190 SL Pagoda which was in a worse state :roll:
Scary pictures indeed.

Sorry to see the loss of another car

Previous information that i had on this car

Stored from 2002 to 2009
Sold at Brightwells Auction on 24.06.2009
Reg No EKB 124 K
Described as in Good Condition but requiring some restoration work
Met Red with Blue Interior and Black Vinyl Roof
Fitted with Mk 111 Colour Coded Wheels
Sold for £2,100

The number plate is not original and i have not yet identified any earlier history or post the Auction Result

It makes me glad that i eventually restored my car in 2015/16 after it being off the road for more than 30 years

Kind regards

Why isn't the body included is the big question?
Is it heading off for a new life in Poland? Hopefully!!!

Sent for scrap. No outer panels , bonnet etc.

Certainly not a viable restoration...
