Possibly a replica if it was being treated like that, as real ones are fetching well into six figures, but you never know!

I think there's a few people about who bought them cheap a few years back and don't quite know what they're worth these days!

Or people who know what they're worth but don't care as they have no intention of selling. Money only applies when you sell!

There was a (proper!) 300sl Gullwing Merc at the classic car show at Elvedon on Saturday. I overheard the owner mention it was insured for seven figures and that he could never afford to buy one now. As he already has one before they shot up in value though, he uses it as he always did!

As I said, you never know and it's refreshing to see people put their classics to use, so we all get to enjoy looking at them. smile

Sorry Mark, didn't see you! Went for a hoon following Elliott in his 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL, through the lanes towards Debenham / Eye sort of direction.
