Nicolas, at least I kept one much longer than the Gullwing

This is 1989 : it is a "Alloy"-engine car, one of the last 260 built. I consider it to be superior to the GW. Disc brakes, a functional ventilation and better weight distribution due to the lighter engine. Observe the socks and the 3970 on the wrist... Those were the good times then! Too bad they faded away. I subsequently learnt that I can fit many more watches into the garage than cars though.




Cheers

Richard

Thank you for the snapshot. Still, the Sonderklasse is the vehicle which has always represented M-B foremost. If I ever get one for myself there is no doubt which one it shall be . Cheers, Filip
