Got it turning over but not starting upon first being bought but that’s as far as it gets. My understanding is the engine is a m110 and when looked up not many of the w123 E280 were made.
Number plate is include with the sale, did have it for sale up on a site for selling and was offered £1400 but with out MOT could not get the number off.”
