The future of "classic" Mercs

[Calcifer]

Morning all,

Been lurking around on the forum for a long time prior to joining.

I have just received news of a new deployment and now considering whether to pay for long term storage for the cars (3-5 years) or sell.

In particular the 1994 E500 Limited, 1995 E500 Limited and the 1987 500SL.

I think the others (W210 E55 and W211 E500) will probably end up going but the above. What are peoples thoughts on the future of these cars?

Thanks

Advertise them for top money and see how you get on. Plus I presume five years storage would add up to a tidy sum and no matter how good the storage conditions are it's still not ideal for twenty and thirty year old cars.

Nice collection btw. Hope you are keeping the NSX?

I'd sell, cars don't like being left standing, and good storage facilities can be expensive.

did someone say Honda NSX........

You haven't said how much storage costs?

Thanks for the input.

Quite right, storage is going to add to a sizeable amount. Storage is £75 + VAT per car a month in a temperature controlled garage.

Z3M is going next week. The NSX is definitely staying, love it. Its probably the only sports car which is going to be straight forward turn key.
