What is your dream Benz?

I think mine is a w128 in red with some combination red and white interior if poss, maybe even with black accents. Would also settle for a w180 I just think the interiors of those older cars are gorgeous.

Same here. Now it were a list if several then I could try to narrow it down. I don't think that there would be any after 2000 and most would be from 1955-mid 1990's.

However...I wouldn't mind getting the wife a 560SEL. I'd love to be driven around in one of those.

155 mph in silence...



But a 500SEC AMG is a more obtainable dream.
