Hi mate, it was a G plate Auto one, had the M kit like my white one, originally came with BBS wheels, but i had a coupe at the time aswell, so swapped them over and gave it the 3 spoke treatment!!Simon wrote:Tell me more about that black touring in those pics...auto with tan leather?olihodgson wrote:http://photobucket.com/albums/b45/olihodgson/merc/
Edit - just realised i was no longer on the pug forum, so this car MAY actually mean something to you boys on here!

this is truealas i don't believe they sell, or ever sold thesethe owner apparently went out in one and pulled them just before they were going to sell them, because it was insanely dangerous....it would have torn apart a mac f1, it had performance similar to the bugatti veyron !

Aye, thats the one! i swapped it for a mk1 MR2 way back. other thing was the exhaust was blowing non stop, been welded so badly, really needed new one! did you go see it at a garage place near a bird shop?! it wasnt a bad truck, but i traded it out at about 600 and think the guy was asking like Ԛ£1495 for it after me! When i first got it it was a nice old girl, looked the business with the BBS on, but was VERY wallowy! 16 previous owners too!Simon wrote:Yeah, I know the carolihodgson wrote:Hi mate, it was a G plate Auto one, had the M kit like my white one, originally came with BBS wheels, but i had a coupe at the time aswell, so swapped them over and gave it the 3 spoke treatment!!Simon wrote: Tell me more about that black touring in those pics...auto with tan leather?. it had Tan leather in it, but wasn't the sport seats. i think either the box or engine had been given a hard time in the past, as it was sluggish to respond to throttle movements etc.
went to have a look at it a while back, bodywork was in good condition, shame about the rest of it really, it was for sale near Plymouth somewhere.
I would have a mitsu Evo 8 mr 400!! fq if i could have any car of the minute i think that would be the car!! its a fukkin animal and round town or on a track theres not much that would touch it......i also like the s14 facelift 200sx nissan , the rx7 tt is also a very nice car....... 

Hartge h35 e30... ( for sale in near future )
bmw 328i sport e36

In all honesty, I wanted to buy the car to break, as I've also got a black touring with the full kit, but it's got some dents etc, so was going to buy this one for the doors etc, and sell the rest in parts, but he wouldn't drop below Ԛ£900!

Actually mate, they did sell a road legal one.Moofles wrote:alas i don't believe they sell, or ever sold theseAndy335Touring wrote:TVR Speed 12 !the owner apparently went out in one and pulled them just before they were going to sell them, because it was insanely dangerous....it would have torn apart a mac f1, it had performance similar to the bugatti veyron !
