Very nice. Along with the SEC, it's one of the best looking Mercedes ever.

Your lovely W111

Your car is simply beautiful! I cannot even imagine the amount of work, expense and time that you have invested. I do hope that you keep the car in the family, as an heirloom... Otherwise, give us a line!

Magnificent

That's simply magnificent. I believe that Bruno Sacco once called that vehicle the most beautiful car ever made. Seeing that I'm beginning to agree with him. Now I have to get me one.

Holy crap-that 3.5 had an unbelievable amount of rust! Do you have any after pics?

I would be interested in the fenders if there is no rust, dents or bondo?

111 cabriolet

Nice job on your coupe. I like the practicallity of a coupe versus my 63 cabriolet. I hardly ever put the top down except for show as the sun is too intense and hot. View my yahoo slide show in the signature.
