I don't know what model it is (I guess a predecessor to an E class cab?) but that is lovely.

It’s the W111 model. The ‘fintail’. They ran for around 11-12 years from the late 50’s on.
The model it equivalents to now would be an S500 coupe/cab.

The W111 > W108 > W116 (the “Ronin” S-Class) > W126 (staple of many Hollywood films, like “Beverly Hills Cop”) > W140 (Diana, Paris etc...)...

Same model Merc as The Hangover film.

It's lovely, although it does look like a candidate for the bad parking thread.

Likewise - how much do these things go for?

Managed to spot my first Zagato Shooting Brake in Newcastle earlier today. This one's recently went to a local collector who's known for commuting in some rather special cars

About 3 time spent the price of a good Pagoda 280 SL...about £300k+

Although actually less than half of that.

One of 35 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed collections (as helpfully pointed out by Moneymakestheworldgoaround)

[boobles]

Pretty rare these days especially the coupe. Both for sale as well....

[Its Just Adz]

Lovely, I bet the coupe is great fun.

[boobles]

I had a blue Z3 m & it was mental. The guy selling them is open to offers. Might put in a cheeky offer on the coupe. 😁

I can remember getting a ride in a Blue Z3M coupe exactly like that from a friends late dad back when I was a kid as a birthday present from my mate and him.

He absolutely caned it and it was fantastic. Loved them ever since.

[boobles]

They are rather special.

Well, you can get them for less, but concours examples are rather more.

Yes, but that's a (n overpriced) 280 SE 3.5, and those are generally around the £300k mark. The one pictured before is a 220 and thay are worth about half as much.

If I only had the space.... ! The Roadster would add lovely to my little "darker" collection next to my ZMC....
