Not only did stainless mean no rusting, but it made the V8 sound the way it always should have done.

Silent, I assume?

The colours on your car are marvellous, especially the interior. It looks superb. I've never understood why light brown was not more frequently specified in the UK as to my eye it is simply gorgeous, especially with blue black metallic paint. Perhaps if MBUK had called it "palomino", as did MBUSA, it would have been more popular.

Great car.

This one's mine (rather less menacing-looking than yours):



There's an SEC thread here too:

Do chip-in with your experiences and tips, and I'll be picking your brains if I may.

That's a thing of beauty. Would love one of these to pootle about in.

I agree, lovely motor! How I would want mine to look if I was lucky enough to own one!

Ever been pulled over for the plate?

[layercake]

love it !

[bmthnick1981]

Very nice indeed. I think the first set of wheels are my favorite. I have a set of staggered Lorinser LOs on mine. Love the exterior color.

Fantastic car OP, how good does that front end look? Proper 80's Benz.

Unlikely it'll be sold anytime soon, I reckon at the current rate of progress it'll take me another year or 3 to get it on the road! Hopefully by then, and with the way values are going, it'll be worth about £8 million.

That's just lovely. Proper Yakuza spec that.

[6cylGolf]

Lovely
I've also been the victim of great looking but st set of wheels. Replica wheels are just wk.
Also a serial car changer but not settled on something as brave as yourself. Pat yourself on the back!
