last summer i had a small accident which made me change the head light lenses (euro spec). had them mailed to greece (where i live) from bosch germany, they were something like 90 euros each. all i can say is that its better to find the whole headlight second handed (which i found for about 80 euros in athens) rather than pay same amount just for the glass

74 450SE



This is a 1974 450 SE that we are looking at buying. $NZ3000. Needs a bit of TLC, MB-Tex vinyl is a bit tatty on driver's seat. There are a few patches of rust and the paint is fading in places. Only minor things, cosmetic, mechanically it is sound as ... will be our first attempt. Just love the shape and the chrome ... funky retro.
