Not mine of course but it's interesting when something like this comes up.

Lookss pretty nice. I would want ironclad documentation of the mileage though with a euro if I were paying a big price for it.

It's almost impossible to validate mileage on Euro cars. Even if they have full history during their ownership in this country, you need to factor in that many have had their speedo changed during the federalization process and the clock was probably reset to zero.

That said, it does look like a very nice car but way out of my price range for an R107 SL.
