That is not the only Mercedes looking good in red,
but it is surely the best looking one.

Saw long, long time ago the coupe version in red
That looked devine! But yes, most of them are in silver.
I still think it is one of the all time greatest cars - fond memories...
a view into our back yard / garage... Those were the days... Those glorious 70s and 80s when these were still affordable.. Cheers from Zurich Richard ...
Hi Richard...
Thanks for posting a reply with the superb photos. Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to buy one from a dear friend that decided to dispose of his including the fitted luggage. We all make mistakes !
Hi Cpt Scarlet
What makes the 300 SLs so special today is that all parts are easily accessible and a good selection of specialists around. So they would even make an uncomplicated daily driver... There were others that I regret and dearly miss today... ...
That’s a great lineup Richard...
Did you ever finish the restoration of the Ferrari ? I must find a few old photos of my own to post. Thanks for sharing them with me.
Unfortunately - financially - I chickened out after 7 years of ownership of the 250 SWBC and stuck to the 300 SL.
As mentioned: In the end the 300SL is the better car to really use. Where would you park an alloy 250 GT on a trip to your favorite coffee shop or on a weekend out? The real bummet was the 904. It had barely more than delivery miles on the clock in 1976. ...
The Porsche looked spectacular...
I have a friend that raced one back in the 70s. Watches and cars are a great combination.
