There would have to be an 1987/88 500 SEL W126 in there... I LOVE them to bits!

You can pick them up for pocket money, but beware rust under the rear window. A nice bad W126 560 SEC would be good along with a 600 Grosser...

I like both Citroen and Mercedes for different reasons, but partially because they've both been innovators and trend-setters.
Between them they have brought nearly every car related invention to the general marketplace.

I'm invariably a series 1 fan, never more so than with the CX and XM which IMHO look beautifully sharp, and shame their blunted S2 counterparts. Both cars are essentially ageless designs, and look as wonderful now as they ever did. I never tire of looking at my car; every angle is a delight!

The colour is rather unkind though - it shows up all the minor imperfections.
This one has a few along it's length that'd be hidden in another colour.
