Hello all. I've recently acquired a,beautiful '89 SL420SL -my return to the marque after years of intervening BMW's and the like.
Coincidentally the price I paid was pretty much the same as the '86 SL300 I bought in 1989.
So far the only problem is resisting the urge to pile the miles on whilst my current Range Rover and 5-Series Touring sit unused,albeit depreciating rapidly.
Question is: should the Beemer be replaced with a slightly more practical R129 for less than sunny R107 days?
I don't expect prices will reach the same levels but it does appear that £10k or so would buy a decent example with some chance of retaining its value.
Or is owning two SL's at nearly eighty plain greedy? Or a sign of not so early onset?
Good to hear what others think.
