Re: [MBZ] 99 300SEL "barn" find
They only had 300SE in the early years in the US. In later ones they had S320 and I believe they had a LWB version.

Re: [MBZ] 99 300SEL "barn" find
That's what I told my friend but she never got it sorted for me to go look at it. I have to go into town shortly, I might yet find out where it is and go take a look at it if it is still there. I have a vague idea of the neighborhood but no address.

You should go look at it and if it’s decent ask her what she’s getting for a donation. Offer her a few bucks more in cash if it’s decent.

Re: [MBZ] 99 300SEL "barn" find
A few years back a friend (who has subsequently passed away unfortunately) told me he had gone to look at a Mercedes that had been stored for a long while in a building of some sort. He said that when he first walked in, he was quite impressed as the car looked good. Then he looked under it and said it was really rusty. The building had no floor and it was parked on dirt. He assumes that it was damp a lot of the time and that was the cause of the rust. It might also have been driven in the winter in salt and not kept clean. In any event, he did not buy it and probably no one else did either.
