Unfortunately, I don't think I can help you with your problem, but I wonder if you can give me an update on Tony. When I was with IBM my office was in a nearby building, and I regularly had lunch at the cafe out front from the late eighties to early nineties. After lunch I always took a walk to the back to check out progress on the cars and the totaled 300Es he collected. I was pretty much a regular and even gave tours of co-workers and customers. Neat place!

A few weeks ago I was in the area on Vermont and could not find the shop. In fact, it looked like the entire building was replaced. Did Tony move, and is he still building the 300SL replicas, or is he out of business?
