Very hard decision on next toy: 2002 Silver Arrow or 96 S600

2 fantastic cars. I sold a silver arrow 5 years ago and thought it was the most beautiful modern car I had ever seen. On the other hand I've been having withdraws since selling my 1997 S500 and have been thirsting for a V12.

The Silver Arrow has 70,000 miles and the seller is awaiting my offer; he is asking $14500. He purchased it two years ago from the estate of the original owner. Has all records from new and has spent $4,000 since he owned it bringing it out of mothballs and up to snuff for daily driver duty. It was an Arizona car, now in Park City Utah. He does not want to endure another winter with it.

The 1996 S600 is very interesting. It was purchased new in Germany and imported in 2001. He spent $30,000 federalizing it, and ever since every hiccup sent to MB of Miami. He service history is super impressive. At 90,000 miles it's just high enough to have most of the major service items like suspension and coils out of the way. His employee is selling it, says the price if firm at $7000 and he has made an appointment for a full inspection to be done at the local Mercedes dealer for my benefit.

So two dream cars falling into my lap, both at great prices, and I cannot buy both. Which one would you want and why?
