Tarek, Please keep our discussions on the Mercedes Discussion List unless we get serious about a trade. I'd rather only answer questions about my 220S once.
As far as a trade goes - all depends on what you are interested in trading. I would not mind a 123 body 240D with a 4 speed & working AC. A late 80s / early 90s 300E, 300D or 400E would also be nice. Either would have to be a nice Mercedes for me to trade. I'm not interested in a 123 body 300D, a 300SD or 300SDL as I've already owned one or more of each of these cars. I might be interested in something else, depending on what it is. As far as the 220S is concerned, I've owned it for about 6 years & I've done the following: New shocks all the way around New outer tie rod ends New driver side upper king pin pivot Rebuilt both carbs Low mileage rear end - out of a 1958 220S (original spline shaft came apart) New fuel pump diaphragm New brake master cylinder New motor mounts (all 4) The car has the hydrak transmission & it runs and shifts great. I have spare parts for the clutch mechanism. I also have spare brake shoes & quite a few other parts that I've accumulated over the years. All spare parts go with the car. As far as known issues are concerned: The paint looks good at a distance but it really needs a re-paint. It needs a muffler The right, front brake grabs if it has not been driven in a while. I've pulled the wheel & don't see anything obvious. The previous owner removed the heating system (common with these cars) There is no major corrosion but I did take care of some surface rust on the roof & some spots on the driver side front fender. The front seats are serviceable but need redone. The headliner is down in the back. The head liner is not original. The back seat needs recovered. All seats have cheap seat covers. I can see the original material through a tear in the driver seat cover. I've not removed the seat covers to see what the seats look like but the covering is a tweed cloth. All of the wood is in place around the doors. I refinished the 2 right door wood trim but have not done the 2 driver side door wood trim. The door panels are not original but nicely redone.
