My List

[TylerH860]

While I can still keep track I thought I'd list all the Mercedes I've owned, mostly for my benefit. It has taken multiple attempts to get them all. I thought I was around 30, but the 1995 S420 officially puts it at 30.

Hey dont complain, that make one for every day of the month no matter what month.
Pity you didnt own them all at the same time. That would have made you one heck of a collection !!

Ahhh !


You and I actually met, when you drove the '80 300D out to the MB Classic Center in Irvine, CA....

I remember the Kansas plate on it!!!

Fun times!!

(this pic from another, later visit, for reference)

Jim,

we also had dinner together with the group of guys (6 or so) the night before the GTG at the hotel you were staying at.

That's easy; the first one.

Hard to beat the solid tank like experience of the vintage MB combined with top down motoring. Nice choice

I remember that. First time I met you was the night before, and also the first time I met Ol' Turbo. Fun times.

The photo Jim posted was taken at the same meet, at the Classic Center on January 2009.

Here with Gary's coupe

What's the purpose of this list? I thought, you were long gone, somewhere on the Highway with a trailer ...?

Hey,
Lets just enjoy the pics that Tyler has had the wisdom to take & share.
I for one dont care how they came into his possession, they are a nice set of MB pics.
If his chosen occupation results in him being able to drive cars like these, good luck to him !!! We can all be envious !!

Thanks for sharing, Tyler!

This is a lovely collection of pictures of cars. I think it would be instructive if you would also post a before picture so we all could appreciate what you did with them.

I am fairly certain they all were not pristine when you got them.

The concept of taking an older car and making it basically show worthy for the purpose of selling it at the best price is an excellent one. I like to do it that way too. Make it look sharp and sell it with no apologies. I have never quite reached the level of perfection that you seem to do regularly though. I am especially envious of your picture taking.

[Air&Road]

Don't be so shy about buying MB's Tyler!

Seriously though, a bunch of beautiful cars in those pictures!

The first you owned or the first one listed here.?

[SwampYankee]

That's quite an extensive list, Tyler! I see several missing models though...

I'm just guessing this one given the family provenance.
