Yeah, I know -- only the very young, who think my 280 SE is a Royce, and the one friend I have who had one (sold it as too expensive to maintain, then regretted it) really appreciate my W108. Mine's pretty rough from neglect -- seat covers in rags, need front subframe bushings, left exhaust manifold split so it roars, etc.

Still prefer it to anything but the 300D!

They truely don't make them like the used to.
