Wag, didn't know you'd sold yours mate :(

They are out there but, at least when I was looking, good 24v's are like the holy grail, you just don't see them for sale :(

Another one has turned up in the local dealer tonight, prefacelift Ultima in Nouveau Red again...but another 2.0, they're all d**n 2.0's nowadays...nice cars but I want to see a 2.3 or a cossie for a change :-/

It's always the same when you are looking for a particular vehicle,there are'nt any about.Bide your time lads and wait for the next glut,it's bound to happen!Maybe when it does you will have changed your minds and be searching for another non existent animal eh !

im glad im keeping my cossie, ive got the 500 for the daily stuff so the 24v will only get used once in a while, as criag will tell you, mine is one of those rare mint cont'd ones, lucky really considering i only paid £250 for it. keep looking though, ive seen a few 24v engines on ebay lately, it may be worth looking for a 24v with an engine prob then buying a lump for it...

that armour plating weighs a ton, i hate to think what the mpg is...i remember working for al fayed, he had a few merc limos that were armoured, they also had special tyres that i think could run flat, you noticed them cos they bulged out distinctly...

Wow. Bulletproof, eh? Great if you live on a housing estate and want to buy a decent car stereo :-/

Don't the top end S Class Mercs have double glazing? Some (German) cars are now getting run flat tyres, they can run a few miles if you get a flat...you don't get a spare tyre any more though, just a can of aerosol sealer. Ride quality & handling isn't as good as old tech tyres though... :-/

Had to sell the Black 24V due to finances etc. :( Bought a Toyota so my uncle could use it when he was over from Australia. I then had the ‘pleasure’ of using it. Nah did not like it at all! Sold it and bought a Granny 2.9 MK3 (sorry lads). That’s OK but it a'int a 24V by any stretch of the imagination. So I'll keep my fingers crossed and wait.

There was one on autotrader yesterday but it sounded a little too good to be true - showroom condition? That should find the one I mean
