I wish i was 'handy' (or had a family member who worked on these) as it would be a great project for the money. Good luck!March 28th, 2025 at 1:26pm ESTIampwk (1) 0As it's a UK car, you can check it's annual health check (MOT) just Google UK MOT Gov check then enter the registration number.

And with no carfax do we know if the frame and structural is good?

The Smog official will have the actual truth. I know that everything that is on the Internet is true, but asking the guy that will pass the car in California is the sensitive thing to to.March 24th, 2025 at 2:04pm ESTfredtga (0) 0@Jgrey86: the car should pass smog if all the components are there (from the pictures, it looks all stock), but that's the least of the problems. Does the VIN sticker say: "This vehicle conforms to all applicable US federal motor vehicle safety, bumper and theft prevention standards in effect on the date of manufacture shown above." ? If not, and you want to do it right, then buckle up, get your deep pockets ready, it's a long and costly process to get an import in compliance with CA. Search on youtube for "Mr India 500E", he's got several videos explaining everything he had to do to register legally an imported w124 500E in CA. If i'm not mistaken, it took over 1 year and well into 5-digits with costs.March 23rd, 2025 at 3:36pm EST$2,000 bid placed by @Leslieanne0221March 23rd, 2025 at 10:12am ESTPatinaCollective (27) Seller 0@Jgrey86 we are in Florida, don’t know about California. You will need to talk to your Smog guy. Car seems to be all stock. We haven’t performed any service prior to listing, we are giving it away to the winner of the auction to help the fundraiser of the charity.March 23rd, 2025 at 9:43am EST$1,750 bid placed by @joeman100March 23rd, 2025 at 6:47am ESTJgrey86 (5) 0Will this car pass smog in California, and has there been any service or work done on the engine or transmission.
