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 engine valves seat modified in order to run on unleaded 91 octane gas, also you don't find high performance spare parts for vintage mercedes engines at a reasonable cost unlike for an american v8 engine whether it be high performance parts for a mopar, a gm crate engine or a fomoco engine. Plus back in the 60's-70's, very few if almost none european car brand could offer something similar to American muscle cars or big block powered luxury full sizes.
