I,m gunna post a photo of a dead same year and model as I didn't take any photos.
Reasons for our choice is I wanted rear wheel drive, I wanted to follow my old mechanic mate of mine who used to work extensively on mercs and his poem went like this.
If the gearsticks on the floor, look around and buy some more
But if the gearstick's on the dash, get outa there in a flash.
After 2000 they are a pile of crap he used to shout.
The one we chose is in lovely condition, 1998 Starline 640, full service history, underfloor exterior in pristine condition, a host of extras. Fully winterised.
We finally decided that with the way things are progressing with motorhomes and looking into the future that a cheap, quality one was required within our £17000 budget, get in there. What a beauty for cheap as chips price. Bone dry, new tyres, rear mudflaps, dirt skirt, 2 solar, new tyres, cab air con, cruise control, water filter, underfloor Truma saphir air con(it works great but will we use it?), brand new fridge freezer, sat dish, rear ladder, chequer plate roof, underslung gas tank, fully upholstered 2 years ago, silver screens exterior, sat dish but not sure if it works, its a manual adjust one, it goes up and down but after that I,m lost, Warranty, local dealer, it is getting polished, they were doing it today when I called.
Shower tray needs repairing, they are removing it and getting it fibre glassed underneath, apart from that and a little alufrass on the skirts its beautiful.
And guess where the bloody gearstick is

) £1250 (ish) on a complete overhaul of the front and rear suspension, brakes (including new brake pipes throughout), and the cab Air Con condenser, on our tandem axle Hymer. The ride quality is better than it has been for years, and we get to keep the build quality. Money well spent.................................we think anyway.
