Should I strip, sell or restore it?
This w202 c250 diesel came in a few days ago. Beautiful interior, good running om605 and a noisy 2nd gear. Should I strip for parts, should I sell as is or should I restore?

A 600 THOUSAND KM, 46 year old daily drive? Can only be a Mercedes w123 240d.
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed 21 dnem
I take Bella’s 240d for a drive. This beaut has done over 600k km and is finished in Anthracite grey (colour code 172). After the road test I checked the accelerator and found that full throttle on the pedal didn’t equate to full throttle at the diesel pump. Will tackle those adjustments tomorrow which I think will transform the cars performance.

Definitely save it Keyan - Paul - Cape Town
That engine seems to be running really smoothly
Restore this beauty for the bext generation
they are good engines I'd love to buy that car.
C Class kak! Bin it?😂
Please restore.
Doesn't seem like there's much wrong with it besides the gearbox. Nice and rust free. Would seem like a waste of a good shell.
It is currently for sale, please contact Bella on 078 093 3024.

Hello, big fan of your work. Could you refer me to a Merc specialist in JHB. Somebody with similar skill set and work ethic to you if possible
Hi, thank you! Though I do supply parts to quite a few workshops up there, I haven't personally dealt with any of them so can't speak to the quality of their work or pricing. I'd suggest asking on a local FB page (or community Whatsapp group in your area) for first hand recommendations.
50 cent made me love this car😂❤damn this car is really sexy🥵🔥🤞
at model is this car
Not much to restore. Leaving the beauty pageant tappet cover off in my opinion saves the heat collecting on top and wasting the diesel leak off lines between the injectors. They need to replaced rather often, still, super comfy and reliable car!
I’d repair the gearbox and sell it or repair the headliner and freshen up the paint in addition and sell it for a bit more. I believe the white molding strips came from the factory in white, so no need to paint them black. A perfectly usable and reliable car as is with the gearbox repaired.
On the Elegance they were a light grey (on a white car), on the Classic they were black. That's the easy part though, the rest might be a bit too close to the bone to do unfortunately but I'll see...
Please Restore it... I am definitely buying a merc from you soon! Thank you for your service..
Great vid thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Definitely restore it
It looks neat. Restore

Yep restore it
Restore it!
Does it leak any oil or anything?
No it doesn't.
Wow, would love to go for a drive in this elegant beauty.
Will this one be for sale?
This is the car that made me a Mercedes fan. My friends parents bought an E320 when the car was launched back in 2003. I was in grade 7. I'm now 33 and still want one. I tried looking for an immaculate used model but many were abused. I ended up getting a 2014 W212 E350 Bluetec which I love. It was still in maintenance plan and has more tech. But it isn't a W211. For me, the W211 has a better ride quality and is more comfortable and refined. The W212 is reliable but for me it just doesn't drive as well as a comparative W211.
I agree
this suits you Bella
My uncle has a 2008 model 320 cdi. It quick
I also have a 1977 W123 with black MB Tex
Interesting, here in South Africa?
I have a 2009 E 220 CDI. I thoroughly enjoy it and will not sell it.
The offset steering wheel was always a killer for me. The best or nothing was just a slogan
I didn't notice that, perhaps the one you drove had been in an accident and been poorly repaired.
@@oldmercguy I think its a quirk of the W211 and W212. Slightly to the left on RHD cars. Never been in any others.
I had the w211 E240 with the excellent M112 engine. This one has the M272 with the balance shaft gear issues. If it's not been done - an expensive repair is on the horizon........
Looks extremely comfortable
Wow beautiful work. I would love to see you do work on a 560 sec 1980s benz
Thank you! I only do my own cars and I, sadly, can't afford a 560sec....
Demmit, what a beauty.
Please DM me the price on this car
please contact Bella on 078 093 3024
The E55-AMG in this shape was brutal 🎉❤
The W211 is the best-looking E-class ever. I sold my 2007 E63 AMG ten years ago. So stupid, I still miss it.
The W211 design has really stood the test of time. Both the interior and exterior look modern, timeless!
Lovely refined drive, as a classic merc lover, the interior is very uninspiring. A see of grey with a bit of plastic looking wood, was the interior taken out a Camry😂
The W211 is a good E class. The W210, with the ovaloid lights, that art deco look, found in BMW Z3 as well, does work for me. But the car rusted very badly, the front lights leaked and discoloured. /So this W211 seems to accelerate a little more swiftly than the W123 300D and tick quite a few of the right boxes. "We" like the W123 and W124s, eg, but when you drive down a W211 280 it performs sooo much better and differently to those 80's and early 90's cars. Utterly different. And certainly a lot "easier," quieter, better designed seats. How it pains one to say so! :-)
Really enjoyed the video. The W211 - particularly the facelift W211 is one of the nicest looking E-class in my opinion. Dad has a 2007 W211 E200 Kompressor that I've driven a few times, and I enjoy driving it, although I think the E200 Kompressor is a bit underpowered. The E280 is probably the sweet spot for a car that size.
The W211, last of the elegant MBs. After that MB lost the plot.
I think the pre-facelift W212 was the peak so 2010 - i have them both so i love the 211 too!
Long trips I prefer my old 124 over my c220d. The 124 is so much more comfortable and spacious
How insane is that😂
South Africans love white cars. It's the strangest thing.
Where is your workshop? I am in Worcester Western Cape. Trouble with 2002 C270 td (5 silinder) -sensors.Anyone close to me?
