I missed this while I was in Whitby.
And the plate on this is almost cool.
'Better 250 engine'? WTF is that guy on? It's the worst engine you can get in a W123 - drinks like the proverbial pissed fish and won't pull skin of a rice pudding. One of the very few engines carried over from the previous model. Not that this makes it any better...
Remember it is in a hearse, so all it needs to do is plod along.
I'm not really convinced that a hearse is a suitable commuting tool hehe! Mind you, you'd probably be less likely to get cut up. Or maybe you are, because everyone will think you're gonna go waaaaaaaaay slow and not wanna get held up behind you. Which you are, and you will whether you like it or not :-)
It'll probably roll less than his Toybota, but has less need for a vibrating rear seat...
I think that's a perfect commuting tool. A bit long maybe. I'd like to get it and drop a nicer engine in it (500-series v8?), keep it outwardly as is and stick an *empty* coffin in the back. That'd get some looks as a daily driver. Especially doing traffic light races with Chavs in Saxos. Big boot for the shopping too. or stick it in the coffin, I think they slide out easy enough don't they?
My wife says I'm sick for thinking of all that though..

She's right.
Do it.
But so is Mike. How many clubcard points would I get in Tesco if I loaded my shopping into one of these.
