I believe so, but that’s no justification for $30k in my opinion. -D > On Aug 31, 2020, at 9:56 AM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > Was it a 5 speed? > > On Mon, Aug 31, 2020, 9:44 AM Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > Just remember the 1986 300E that got $30k a

Supposedly from the "golden era". Admittedly very clean but is it really worth $9k? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-mercedes-benz-300e-5/?utm_source=dm_medium=email_campaign=2020-08-31 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Same for us, our house (built in 1938) is often referred to as "The Renee Healy house" after the original builder/owner. My parents first house was the same but I can't remember the guy's name. -Curt On Sunday, December 3, 2017, 2:42:15 PM EST, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Nostalgia redux

It’s also done around here somewhat. Or was in the old days. My great grandparents place back in the day was called Green Acres. This was used sometimes here with larger more prominent properties. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 3, 2017, at 1:38 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes

[MBZ] Nostalgia redux

Dan. On reflection, the naming of "cottages" was probably a rural thing, as houses in the country were not numbered on a street. Everyone knew who lived where, so naming the house, cottage, manse etc. was a conventional way of indicating which home belonged to whom. YMMV. Fred. Fred Moir.

[MBZ] Nostalgia

In my dotage, I thought that a Google Earth look at my last UK abode would be interesting. I found "our" cottage in Henley-on Thames and Lo! and Behold! the current owner is a Mercedes driver! I left 50 years ago and at that time the "Fair MIle" was mostly tree-less, not so anymore. Lots
