I'm looking for a ST200 so they're all blue as far as I know.

Might keep Merc for a bit though.

Paint it orange with invisible glitter??

Will do Mr Barrels.

Its the straight 6, which I cant seem to find any info on. Everywhere I look it mentions only the V6. It looks like the V6 has about 220 ponies, but cant find any info on the straight 6. It pulls like a train though so its hubar torquey apposed to Torquay Harbour were they have seals.

The badge does look cheapo to be fair. lol.

NO! It wouldnt be as gangsta in Orange!

It seems that the merc's an import.

Just ran the plate on our car search DB and it came from Germany originally.

I have the chassis number and engine number if you want me to pm you with them.

No shit!

The straight 6 and V6 were pretty similar, the straight 6 is 220bhp and the V6 is 224bhp. Both make 315Nm of torque. The V6 was added purely because it was easier to package in new models and slightly lighter. I'd say the earlier lump is a lot stronger though.

I can check Merc's master file at work and find exactly where it came from, build date, dispatch date the lot.

I did wonder if the straight 6 was not a UK spec.

Oh well. No bother!

Are all mercs imports then?

I check my car and it's says country of origin = UK (for all three of them)
