I collected a bunch of 1/18th die-cast scale models of a variety of exotics for my home office...including a Gullwing SL.
I have a little diecast model of a black ML on my desk in my office...along with a Matchbox 67 Beetle.
When we bought our W124, the salesman gave my daughter a 1/18th model of a 95 500SL. A year and a half later, my wife got the real thing...so now she keeps it in her office at work.
Otherwise, needless to say, I have a ton of die-cast FedEx trucks at home and work...AND a Hot Wheels FedEx station to park them in!
