That's a nice looking one too.

These cars are the best bang for the buck that I have ever known. Some nice ones can be had for under $15,000 from the right buyer.

I plan to just keep mine. See how long it can go.

The two names we go by are "parchment" (cream beige) or "palomino" which is saddle or tan. Palomino, tan, saddle are the colors of a horse "saddle" which is darker than the interior of my 560SL. Thanks. The car is beautiful, it's the nicest one we've seen in awhile and we see quite a few of them!

1) Parchment (cream beige)
2) Palomino (tan or saddle)

I'm kind of glad Florida is to far for traveling at the moment. That one looks like a nice and well kept.

The one thing I've noticed each decade has models that get a following with Mercs. They buy those models no matter how much money they have.

Maybe you can tell me?
