How about a vintage roll call (pictures please)
I would start but my dad drove my SD to Wisconsin and then to Minneapolis. He chose mine over his '87 300E. hmmm. Makes you wonder?
Thanks David

Well, I suppose I will start this out, so David doesn't feel bad anymore.

Nice Fintail, fintail. Where abouts are you? (I like that MB farm in the background too)
Is that a 64 or 65?

Fintail, you also seem to have the European fog lights? Or are they Euro? Anyways, it looks NICE. By far my favorite model, 220SE.

It's a 64. I am in the northwest, north of Seattle. The cars in the background aren't mine...just various orphaned parts cars that hang around where the fintail is stored most of the time (I have a bad parking situation at my place, one good spot).
The fog lights are period aftermarket, and are actually made in Japan, so not fancy European maker ones. I forget the maker...the car isn't here physically right now, it lives a few miles away. I have the original recepit for them too...purchased in 1970 I think. The car is US spec. And I too like the 220SE. FI is awesome, I never want to play with carbs again. The car isn't mint or anything...it is a decently solid original. I bought it about 10 years ago now (a long time for me, as 10 years ago was high school days for me), and used it as a daily driver for about 8 years. I then decided she needed a break, and bought a nice 126. The fintail is now a sunny day driver...and with the weather here, that means I haven't driven it in weeks. |

Not really vintage, like the fintail (which is quite beautifiul) but here is what my two kids call "the 'ol crate"!

Antony, glad to see a 115 in the mix.
fintail, I bought my 220S from a guy in Bellingham. I talked to him a while afterwards and he said something about seeing a blue fintail. You perhaps?

That is a nice looking 115
"I talked to him a while afterwards and he said something about seeing a blue fintail. You perhaps?" Heh...maybe so. I know there are 2 other fintails in this general area in DB334...both plain jane 220 models. One is pretty nice and was on the market last year, the other was not so nice and could have been had for almost nothing. There used to be a grey 220S around here up until a couple years ago...but I think it was a 65, as it had the "automatic" badge. When did you buy yours? |

Hey fintail, I really like your car. It is very beautiful. Can we have a picture of the 126? I also like the black 1970 280SE. I wanted a black one also, but in the Indiana weather, it is very hard to keep even my silver one clean.
