Owner of:

1977 Mercedes 280E
1984 Mercedes 500 SEC AMG
1984 Mercedes 500 SEC Lorinser minus front spoiler which is Zender until I find a Lorinser. Fat chance! Wish me luck!

Wonderful collection you have their Leroy. The car I posted is far too nice for a sixteen year old; I secretly want it for myself. I think it's the legendary W111 chassis. I'm sure she hums like a sewing machine!

Yes, the W111 is a beautiful car but probably not daily driver material these days. However, the W123 280E gasser I have is great. I put 100 miles a day on it. it's like a Caddy.

I don't collect them, I drive them. Great value and fairly easy to maintain if you pay attention to PM of the timing chain and guides.
