That's JG Francis's car. It was in my driveway when he crammed one of my W123 wagon 3rd row seat setups into it. Nice coupe, pretty paint and pinstripe. Personally I think that having a Euro-spec car (meaning no options at all) without the Euro lights and asking $30,000 is kind of silly, but it is a very attractive car. Also, the 15" wheels are 15 x 5.5" so if you are thinking of fat performance tires, think again. I much prefer the 5.5 x 14 aluminum wheels with hubcaps that I have on my 1971 250 C.

I checked prices a couple years ago, both the wheels and the hubcaps were available through Mercedes:

1234001002 - wheel part number 5 1/2 J x 15 H 2 - I think $75 per wheel
1154010424 - Hubcap part number - I don't remember the price, I think more than the wheel.
