That's funny you mentioned that. I know two guys who visits my mechanic here in LA every so often and shops around for pre 81 cars and ships them back. A beautiful 220SE cabrio was found in a warehouse was brought into the shop for inspection, repaired and was shipped in time for Christmas last year back "home". The other guy is from the Netherlands....which is where he got the OM616 Unimog in my sig which was there for some fix it stuff.

As for the taxi, I have no idea how many REAL miles are on my W115 so i guess I have only 4,6 million KM to go to be certain
