Those are gorgeous and a common sight here. Not necessarily the 3.5 V8, but the 6-cylinder models, which are also beautiful.
I'd be happy with a simple 250S Coupe. :wub:
When I was 11 my dad drove my brother & I to Italy via Germany. He has a Rover 3 Litre (P5) - 6-cylinder 130hp. He was pretty proud of it. So he got up to 100mph on the autobahns and had Mercedes like this one up his tail - flashing to get him out of the way - they went past like we were standing still. Quite an education for him.

And even back then those cars could cruise at high speed all day long without overheating issues. True GT cars.
Leno was once a mechanic at an MB dealer.

The Rover was primitive by comparison. Boat anchor straight-6 with side exhaust valves.
(The journey had its upside though - girls in Portofino - hmm - intriguing.)

Yep, he always mentions this when reviewing a car from his Mercedes' collection.

Sounds like the journey wasn't so bad in the end! :praise:
