W116's ?
M-B's are in my genes starting as a ten year old in 1962 when my dad bought a 220Sb. In college he had a 250SE. I was ELECTRIFIED by a 1972 Road & Track magazine issue covering the Frankfurt Auto Show where the W116's were unveiled. Damn, they managed to top the W108's. have loved it ever since. To me the W126 was not an aesthetic improvement. Am about to buy a 350SE. We shall see how good it is to live with as an easy daily driver.

I think that the ball is a little behind on 116's, the economy may not be helping. Seems like 108/109's are starting to climb again, so these shouldn't be far behind.
