Have always liked these cars and would like to get my hands on a restoration project. Not too worried about engine condition as many of these may have a million miles on them . Anyone know where I could pick up a non runner at the righ money ?;)

So that would be a W202 model. Good solid car, but they do rust, especially the 97>00 ones.

UK cars are far worse too, get a high spec. auto if you can !

A 99 "restoration project" ?

Boomtimes are over ...99 is the new "new"

Probably not a classic yet but certainly the 202 series were the last of the real mercedes and will be collectible in the future.

.........every time a new Merc comes along folk say that about the previous one !

I dont think the W202 or any after that will ever become collectable. They werent loved enough. I have two of 'em BTW.

Wasn't the 202 series the first product of MB's cost-cutting exercise?

The W210 was.

Nah, I'm pretty sure the C-Class was too. You see a lot of them around with rust and Car Mechanics recently did an article on them as well highlighting the typical Merc problems of that era.
