I was at the grocery store the other day, and I spotted this silver SL in the parking lot. Well, the lady that drove it was just coming out to her car at that time, and I had a chance to ask her about her car, it was a model I had never seen before - a 1980 R107, 500SL imported from Germany. She was an interesting German lady, and I got to speak the little German I learned in college with her as she told me about her car. She said she would rather have my 1989 420SEL, because she really liked S-Class Mercedes. Anyway, this model was new to me, and I thought I had seen most MB years and cars! I know you don't see many of these around...
