At least there is some discussion. What a shame that some people are more stupid as a peanutshell.
When I bought my orange Racing a lot of people told me to bring it to the scrapyard, it had rust and above that, that horrible colour
As I can believe the stories a MB Gullwing was completely out in the mid 60s and almost impossible to even give away.
The W116 isn't up to everybodies taste, not even up to mine to be honest, but this car is so truly nice, unmolested and original that I just had to take it. I hope to find another lover who understands what is a nice car. And with nice I don't mean the make but the perfect condition of it. And yes that can be a Lada, a Toyota or a Rolls Royce. That doesn't matter at all.
