Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,
Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues

They started my interest in MB's many years ago. My in-laws neighbor have one locked up in their garage. Only brings it out in the summer it looks and sounds fantastic.

Could this be Wobbly's old car?

Nope a forum member has that and is currently restoring it..

I wondered if it had suddenly had a "price makeover", like...

All that has happened is that this one is now up for sale by a London trader instead of a usually overly expensive Dutch trader.

Possibly, but you've got to say, this is rather special.

And it's put on £23,000 just over Christmas...what an investment...

Totally marvellous, but I am not sure about that price. I used to drool at Hexagon until I moved away this year, but watch if it hasn't sold at that price - they will consign it to auction pronto. Makes an SM extraordinary value!

only if someone actually buys it!

We had a classic car dealer here this morning, bought my CLK55 AMG... he says his margins are huge but his average turnaround time is measured in years not weeks!

Mine had a lot more miles than this one, which is a absolute beauty.

Not quite restoring it, he has had it resprayed.

I'm going to see the finished product at Easter, when I next head north.
