Any classic Benz fans out there?

I'm trying to sell a Mercedes 250c (~1971) for my old man, i was hoping someone could help.

First up, is there an equivelant to ff.au in mercedes circles? I've looked up the MBCV site (which is pretty useless) where i can advertise for a price. Any other good places for information/advice and to advertise? (other than the obvious)


Would anyone care to take a stab at how much it's worth? As mentioned it's a '70-'71 (can't remember!) model with the 2.5l six (still very strong/reliable - oil pressure is spot on) and 4sp manual (again, perfect nic. no crunching/whining.) as with the clutch. Done between 90-100k miles. My grandmother was the original owner (brought it in the 70's with only delivery mileage), when she passed away my dad (50yo+) drove it for a few years until he got a company car. Since then (probably 4-5 years ago) it's been in a dry (i.e. wodonga), ventialted garage under a cover. Has been run every few months to keep the cobwebs out.
It's not registered, needs a tierod end, windscreen, tyres and exhaust for RWC. Other than those bits, it's in great condition. Theres a very slight dint in the drivers door, a few stone chips in the paint. The chrome only needs a polish. No rust whatsoever (apart from the few stone chips). Has never been crashed. The interior is perfect apart from one of the window winder handles being chewed by grandma's retriever (any other reminents of the dog are well and truly gone, or wern't there in the first place). Central locking and other pneumatics still work perfectly. Has never had a stereo or air con (i.e. no hack installs) We also have the original manual and logbook in the original vinyl carry case.
I've seen (on carsales/point) these cars go for between $7000-$20000. :yeees: Obviously the precise specs, model and condition make a marked variation in price.

We're not sure wether to get it to RWC or let an enthusiastic buyer do it. Do you think it'd be worth our while?

please note THIS CAR ISN'T YET FOR SALE! We're just trying to work out what to do with it!
Some pics (note that it is pretty dusty, hasn't been washed in a while):







Any help would br GREATLY appreciated!
