Back in the 70s, I had a 190SK, 230SL, 250SL, 280SL, 300SL Gullwing and a 300 SLR. Lots of maintenance and difficulty getting original parts, and the mechanical fuel injection was a nightmare. I flipped them all to a collector on Key Biscayne, and made a small fortune. Glad to get rid of them.

Wow, you sold the Gullwing? Or the collector wouldn’t take the package without it?

Jay Leno has a car collection. I have a small gun collection. Takes up far less space but unlike Jay I’m sure I’m on some gubmint s***list.

A friend wants my old 450SE. He can have it if he moves it & promises not to part it out.
