    Like but with reservations. Michelotti like styling with those huge rear fins a la Austins and Morrises, but not all that attractive even given its "classic" status. There would have to be better around. Regards Styria Given Patrick's penchant for "perfection" at all times, this car...

    Bryce, exactly my thoughts. The ML is just too much to handle, and it is not cheap. Regards Styria

    Hi Geoff, for a change, this is one Mercedes Benz that I DO like - nicely kept, well maintained, hopefully with an up to date service record and a fantastically low mileage - if someone like Helmet would inspect a car like this and give it the thumbs up sign, it would constitute an excellent...

    You'd need deep pockets to afford the running costs of this car. All the specs. are obviously spot on, but it would frighten me the moment I'd drive it out of the dealer's yard. See my previous comments in relation to a NEW ML500 that would wear out front tyres as soon as you'd drive it out of...

    Hi Patrick, just not quite sure if indeed this Bentley Mulsanne is all that attractive - as a rule, one could be forgiven by being influenced by the name Bentley, and one is inclined to overlook some styling deficiencies simply because it is a Bentley or Rolls Royce. The car featured here just...

    Michel, we need young Brian and ever so young Patrick contribute to this thread. Furthermore, whipper snipper Sean who was responsible for the threa in the first place, needs to put in an appearance. Old Codgers like you and I - we know what constitutes brilliant Music, even to dance to...

    A big WOW on the way home...

    With that amount of coin, I would rather buy a nice Bentley or Rolls Royce, and spend the left overs on a Honda Jazz. There ! :LOL: Regards Styria N.B. Love that little Honda - it just goes and goes and goes - last eight years.

    If we talk about Music and great entertainers, has anyone ever heard of BZN ? Yes, BZN a Dutch Band consisting of Male/Female Duo and some of their Music is also quite breathtaking. I'll see if I can find you a couple of renditions. Regards Styria There is just another one from many:

    Yes well.....you're listening to some of the most beautiful music ever written. Sarah Brightman - wonderful songstress. I did go to see her at the Entertainment Centre a number of years ago, and who could forget the Barcelona Closing Ceremony when they sang this song. I am pretty sure that...

    I have had this website in my Computer favourites for close on two years. I have always enjoyed my somewhat clumsy style of dancing, but my year is good enough to transfer to my feet if the Band makes a mistake. In other words, my ear tells my feet to take that into account. Confused - don't...

    Spotted this 450 SE/SEL on Benz World, posted about May of last year. At Auction it sold for $5700.00 with a well worn interior. Exterior appeared to be in nice condition, and it is good to know that even the model sold for that price. Augurs well for GOOD quality 116s. Regards Styria...

    Thank you BenzBoy and Patrick, there is of course the third video to assess. Again, commentary would be helpful, but we don't have it, so it is what it is (great use of English language !). I have picked about nine cars that took my fancy, including a magnificent Gullwing, one or two...

    No Patrick, not necessarily - I know the section you are referring to looks a bit odd, but it is not clear what it actually is. No, I am referring to the rearmost stainless strip that's at the rear end of the sill mould. It may only be an optical illusion, or perhaps the "angle" of the bottom...

    This time it is 2017 - again the same venue. The quality is never ending. In due course, I will have a more thorough look and offer my unqualified opinion. Regards Styria

    Villa D'Este - Lago Como

    The same event held the following year, viz. 2015. Again, the choice of cars leaves nothing to be desired.

    Wanted to Buy: 350 or 450SLC Feb/March 2022

    Just spotted the car on Facebook - great looking car, perhaps somewhat on the pricey side. Mileage is okay, check colour of oil, Oil Pressure reading and check engagement of gears engaging forward and reverse, primarily when hot. Let car idle for five to ten minutes, and then have the vendor...

    Wanted to Buy: 350 or 450SLC Feb/March 2022

    There is a lot to like about this car. Lovely condition of [paint although I can't be sure about its colour. Seats appear to be in faultless condition although I think the upholstery is probably new. I would not be put off by the car having been fitted with the six cylinder engine - in fact...
