6 months later you buy yet another.
then you lose one to a dipstick p-plater who rear ends you, but you get the salvage and the insurance payout and part out the good bits, and send the chassis to the scrappie.

then 12 months later you embark on an ambitious project, only to see it stall when you get posted overseas. You come home to a pile of cobwebs and a lack of ambition, and a mate makes you an offer you can't refuse...

then you go and buy another one.

yeah, I know how it works. I'm sure the deux chevaux is just as endearing as the goddess. I always wanted a ds21. I have a couple of friends who have a pair of immaculate DS's and a friend of mine in Mannheim who has a black DS cabriolet.

Tell me about it.

I have a W109 300SEL 3.5. Beautiful car. They tell me the 3.5 is better balanced than the 6.3. Mind you, I wouldn't mind a 6.3 as well.

I've been noticing the old Benzes too ... the interior in some of them are absolutely unbelievable for what are very old cars .... and there worth nothing given the quality of car they are.

for a very modern classic check this pre-2000 BMWs too .. ...

1996 BMW 750iL E38

there was a long wheel base version like this for sale for ages for next to nothing. twin AFMs, V12, auto, immaculate inside and out .... stunning. it would have been a $200,000 car when new.

I don't have any SM's here Way out of my price reach. I've driven them though. An amazing vehicle to drive. I have an '85 CX2500 GTi Turbo which is a remarkable car given it was already a 10year old car when it was designed. If feels much the same at 220km/h (++) as it does at 100km/h..... only the white lines and trees are bluring past a lot faster ( I've heard ).

I actually wanted an E38 to givemy wife lol
