Erik,

My 450SEL has the 4.5L motor. A co-worker bought it and loved it so much that he immediately went out and bought a beautiful dark blue 6.9 with cream leather in mint condition (cosmetically, but not mechanically). He didn't want/need two, so I got the 450 for a song and have driven the heck out of it with no real issues, meanwhile he's barely driven his any due to cost of repairs and mechanical issues with the much more complex 6.9L version.....

But his sure is purty! :-)

Mine isn't bad, here are some pics from when I was detailing it in 2011:

A well sorted one is a fun, old school, heavy car to drive.  A not so well sorted one to turn into a sorted one is a $25k fun house ride.  Maintaining one is not for the faint of heart nor for someone that didn't pass circuits in college...

 

@ Matt, which motor does the 450SEL have in it?

 

Regards,

Erik - another sucker, but one that has fewer children than Matt...

What are your driving impressions of the Turbo R?  I was offered one a long time ago, and wondered what a big Bentley would have been like in my garage.....

First off, the Ferrari content of this message is that I am not selling my 85 Euro 308 GTS/QV, and if you ever see me selling it, then either I am in financial dire straits or I have seriously changed my priorities in a way I don't see happening anytime soon. I've had my 308 for about 17 years so far and likely will have it until time T (where T=death).

 

That said, I'm not a wealthy car collector, however I'm about to acquire my 11th car (thanks to George Parker, listmember friend, for selling me his great 2004 Jetta TDI manual wagon). And my wife is itching for a Tesla Model S, and if she's looking to me to say "No, we shouldn't buy a Tesla Model S," well she might not hear me try to talk her out of it.

 

So I've got a few cars for sale. I post this just for fun as I doubt anyone here is interested, but who knows:

 

1994 Toyota 4Runner: $3k

1978 Mercedes Benz 450SEL: $3k

1991 Bentley Turbo R: $TBD but less than $15k

 

So at least in the end we'll go from the present 10 cars to 9 cars.....

 

-Matt
