Looks good. You need to get as much info on the stromberg carbs thatthis car has. I believe they are tricky to tune

khan_sultan · 31st December 2009, 20:43

Oh man, you are some lucky man. Needless to say, I envy you... I am too looking for a w126 or W124 and have drawn a blank till now and you show me this :-)

Congrats and enjoy your present. Too Good.!!!

PS: Do pass on contacts if you see any more KA reg W124/126

IndrojitSircar · 31st December 2009, 20:49

Congrats.Please post some more detailed pics of the engine and interiors.Thankx

nandishpal · 31st December 2009, 21:12

thanks ajmat & sultan. I surely will keep an eye on the carbs.
I am at work & the car is at home but the keys are in my pocket,
just cant stop singing pocket mein rocket hai,
lot of pictures are going to come up tomorrow.
need to get up early tomorrow & give the interioqs a good clean wash.
Life can be so focussed at times

mvaidy · 31st December 2009, 21:22

jubin · 31st December 2009, 21:22

Congratulations on your new buy and wish you all the luck in the new year. 33k miles is fairly new for this car. I see one everyday, MAS XXXX parked outside a south mumbai hospital parked out there braving all the heat and rain.
