Hi Mr Bits, I was glad to read your post about the mechanic in Tiverton. I spoke with him once, he advised me against buying a car that sounded like it had a hammer in the engine. Some good advice, that! Anyway, I have recently bought my first Benz, a 1969 250/8 with 43,000 miles on it. The low miles might not be as good as it sounds because it just sat in a garage for the last 30 years. But, I am committed now, so always good to hear of a recommended mechanic right over a bridge. Thanks for posting his info.
