Only one choice for me...
She's 50 years old this week.
Used to be my daily driver in London. Unfortunately I rarely get to visit - but as it happens we are about to embark on a little holiday and will be taking a decent road trip.
Cabriolet vs Coupé? The comeback! 🥊 (with a special guest 😉)
Hi all, I saw three special cars today and I would like to know which one do you prefer? After a victory by KO between the BMW 3.0 CSI and the Jeep recently (link to the thread below), what is your new favourite cars among the three following beauties? ww...
I liked the Golf.
Hi, I really think to buy some Golf Clubsport in next Future. But the Opel launch the Insignia GSi and I loved this, in really I think to purchase some Corsa OPC or used Insignia GSi after studies. Best Regards. EJR.
Yes i want.
Today I view the for know about used cars market in CH, have each good choices really! And I want to stay yes, as same to do many could, I believe which CH is my really place. Best Regards. EJR.
Great choice my friend. So we have 3-0-0
3-0 reminds me something but it was almost 20 years ago LOL 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Oh my friend.
In excuse me, what to mean the 3-0-0? In Sorry for me don't know. Best Regards. EJR.
No worries my friend
3-0-0 = 3 for the SL and 0 for the other ones but I was referring to the soccer World Cup in France in 1998 between France and Brazil (we won 3-0) 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
LOL :D
Alkiro, in 1998 I was one child and don't remember of this. But I am laughing with your fun. I noticed that when the Germans were sending e-mail calling me to study there in Karlsruhe. The 7x1 but we won they in 2002 on 2-0 Ronaldo vs Kahn, but in clear I...
Really?
Oh, I won't to guess as you are Français, for me you were born in Switzerland. 21 years in 1998, 40 today, I could guess this. Best Regards. EJR.
Yes, I'm a always complaining French 😂
I've been living in Switzerland for one year and half. And may be for ever. Who knows 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
LOL, why would anyone in Switzerland
of all countries want that Golf with a speed camera every 50m ??? Highly puzzled. CC PS: oh yeah, I'll take both, the SL and the CE
Only one my friend only one. The "both" only works for watches LOL 😂
You're true about speed cameras but, you know, Swiss people love paradoxes too 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
They have even sent me a speeding ticket to Germany for 1 (one!) km/h over the limit.
Bang, 30 CHF. Ok, then I'll take the CE because everyone else wants the Pagode, then I will be a sure winner while others fight for the one car
Well played with the CE 😉
Regarding fines, you're lucky my friend. I paid twice 220 CHF for only 5 km above the limit in Geneva 😩 I would have preferred to dine with my wife in a nice restaurant or buy a vintage GP 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
I kept my Skoda Superb 😁
In Switzerland, if you don't pay your fines, they can make an attachement on earnings. Very different from France 😱 Best wishes Alkiro
I've had a Pagoda and they are complicated, frustrating cars in many ways
In my opinion, it's a beautiful indestructable car with no low-end torque, bad gearing for motorways, heavy though removeable hardtop which one never removes (but once), and sky-high parts prices. so I think I will grab one of those Golf estates instead. ...
Many thanks Mike for your input. Always very interesting to know the pros and cons of an owner.
This burgundy 250 SL is really nice too. A lot of charm. Regarding the Golf, come here and we'll find the Estate for you 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Pfff ! Why do you ask me ? You know my answer...
...and sorry not to be original, 280 SL with no hesitation, not one second !!!
I found great contenders 😉
300 SL 190 SL And another German beauty in my baby 300 SL 😁 Best wishes Alkiro ...
Well... you play in another League here my friend! But as I feel most will go for the 300 Gulf Wing now...
... I´ll go for that old Bentley behind for much less money! Lol! Great shots and cars!! Cheers! Abel
I know, I know! You say well last time when speaking of the Type E: some dreams better stay just dreams! ;) ...
... an elusive dream for me too: the type E and the Mercedes 300SL GW!! All the best my friend! Abel
The 280 ce cabriolet would be fine for me.
There's room to smouch at the back as a preliminary for a hot date. The 280 sl would be 2nd , it really is a sexy car. A chicks magnet. Cheers Alkiro , for sharing this three nice cars. Geross.
I don´t hesitate for a second! The first car: convertible 280SL Mercedes for me Alkiro? Do you need my address for shipping? ...
... Lol! Thank you for sharing these beauties my friend!! Hagwe! Abel
My pleasure dear Abel
Regarding the shipping, I thought that was difficult to send something in Argentina 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
SL
And I'm not a Merc fan at all!! But I need to put my wife in a red one. She would look extra hot.
The Pagoda for me! :-)
The Mercedes Coupe came a close second and the Golf not quite in the same league
I have been looking
For one here in Cairo for the last couple of years but it's so difficult,Only have seen a couple and they are not for sale. Best, Ahmed.
Because I remember being a passenger in one when a child
the CE (albeit the SL is a far cooler, if less practical ride) - it was in the days before compulsory seatbelt law and we would stand on the passenger seat with our heads out of the sunroof - and it was much fun but in retrospect makes me shudder if there...
With such a shape and elegance that's quite easy to understand why
Best wishes Alkiro
WOW ! Big big congrats !
Maybe a 280 SL (that I love too) is easier to drive in modern cities, but if I had to choose I would not hesitate and take the 190 SL. Beauty and love are the criteria for me, not practicity. Would you prefer any quartz watch because practical more than a...
None of them sadly because they are too small, much more expensive to restore than any american made vintage road car and they don't offer much room
Like the other time, I will rather choose a good old big barge from the 1968-1970 powered by +400cubi inch of displacement motor V8 (so over 6.6 litre) and which has serious torque at low rpm. The answer for me is the chrysler 300 hurst, despite its sheer...
Well at least ot for me because the 300 hurst is much more rare, desirable and valueable car, less than 1000 were built.
Also I like cars with big block v8 engines with over 400cid but also enough room. The vintage mercedes like the 560 sel, 560sec, 600sec and the 600sel are nice and great handling cars. Their predecessors like the ones posted here, need to have their engin...

SL
I live in a building and a neighbor owns a fire engine red version. It's a timeless classic and a joy to look at, and I assume, to drive.
