Two SL 73's and SL Black sightings

Just got this link from Our SL's editor. Pretty sad thing to see. The Sultan is the epitome of excessive collecting totally devoid of any true reality...or appreciation of these special editions.

The Sultan's Mercedes SL73 "Argento Vivos"

Also some some nice reading about the new SL63 Black series. Certainly a more positive outlook for SL affecionados.

Over 4000 -5000 cars, many one of, started and never finished.
Reminds me when Al Fassi, a Saudi prince living in Beverly Hills wanted to buy a Goodyear Blimp and have "AL Fassi" in blinking lights on the sides.
They wouldn't sell him one though, thank God.

Seems like the first link reference doesn't work.

Another idiot butchering another rare automobile. Just shows that even stupid money can't buy appreciation for such incredible engineering art.
