Nice stable joe,
That should be ,what,over 800 ponnies?
Lot of feeding there..
It's funny how,once you're hooked on MB,you don't tend to buy anything else.
I have:
1-1993 300SL 24
2-Vito 114...probably unheard of in the states..It's a mini van as you call it.
3-1989 500 SEC..just acquired..
Looking at a 380 SLC R107 for restoration,to add to the stable...

I really like the Silver Arrow. Not a fan of the others though. Even though, it is a nice stable!

Lets see who gets the fourth Mercedes first, you or me. I am looking for a 96-98 SL 600. Good luck in your search. Later, JOE

Are those after-market rims on your SL? Or did you replace them with AMG wheels? I really like them, as I know the standard 98' rims are a lot different!

dafi, good to hear from you. Black is a good color if it is maintained properly. I MEAN HAND WASH AND POLISH AND NO BUFFERS TO MAKE SWIRLS. Swirls are more noticeable on black than any other color. Good luck on your search, I am still looking. Later, JOE
