Perhaps a tad early seeing as we haven't really broken up yet but here we are. As proffered in the Real Estate Pawn thread, a property seller has a number of cars under cover in his basement-garage-affair. Being the nosy buggers diligent car spotters we are, let's waste some time trying to figure out what they are!

Entry conditions:

1) no prizes
2) just for fun
3) please list your guesses one per line, numbered accordingly to the car you are hoping to ID
4) no stalking of the owner to get them to confess

Original images can be viewed here until the property is sold: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/116132201#/...

Good luck!

1). Rolls Royce Phantom
2). E30 convertible or SL?
3). Merc SL R129 (roll bar visible?)
4). Merc SL R230 (could be Mondial?)
5). Mustang??
6). Merc SL R107 (or a earlier Pagoda )
7). Merc G Wagon
8). Ferrari 458


Steering wheel on rear wall an early Mercedes one?

Changed my mind, number 4 is a SL R129 as well (the aerial and flat rear)

Is it just me or are none of the framed posters on the wall lined up properly?

One for the itchy teeth thread.

He used to have a Mercedes W126 SEC, but I can't see it in there.

Are we going to get an actual answer or are these all guesses?

I'm getting a feel of a passionate collector, this is what I imagine it could be:

1 - Mercedes 600SEL (W140)
2 - Mercedes 400E Convertible (A124)
3 - Mercedes 350SL (R107)
4 - Mercedes 500E Convertible (A124)
5 - Mercedes 420SL (R107)
6 - Mercedes 280SL (W113)
7 - Mercedes 230G (W460)
8 - Mercedes C111 (my first guess would be a Corvette C4 but I like an all Mercedes collection better)

Unless you contact the estate agent and manage to persuade them to contact the owner then I suspect these guesses will remain forever unanswered.

Doofus said "he used to have x", so I wonder if anyone knows the seller and has an actual list perhaps? Otherwise I suspect the same smile

All I know is there used to be, among others, an SEC, a Beetle and an R107. We are pretty sure one of the cars in the picture is an R107, and I'm confident none of them is a Beetle.
