Only once have I had a pull-start NOT fire the engine, and the temp was
-25F. Didn't take a Marshall to understand that the problem involved ice in
places that the engineers never intended ice to form.

I would be happy with a car that looks ok and runs and drives fine, not a
concourse car, but one that isn't banged up. I would also prefer if

Presumably, this owner only put on a measly 20,000 kms. But here's got
4 Benzes, so I guess he shares the joy among them.
