As the thread title suggests . I am after your biased opinions, based on your own experiences - that should exclude things like a DB601 or a DB605 !🙂

It as taken 21 years for my (now venerable) E55 to pass the 100,000 kilometer mark. Probably not the lowest distance covered for a W210, but maybe in the lowest 10 percentile. Condition commensurate with distance covered.

I bought my 6.9 on a whim in 1999. I sold it on a whim for a small profit, to Mark Hertz (MB Club NSW Events Director), in 2014. I told my daughter and boy, was she disappointed. :( She had it in mind to use it as a wedding car. I HAD to borrow the car of him about a year later, to be used as...

I have found a website that is called "Fastest Laps", and has some w116 discussion on it: it includes all cars. I typed "fastest laps w116 6.9"

I have some interesting images that I had scanned off colour slides. The first is of a Lamborghini Mirura in a rather used state. It hit a bridge parapet at about 90 MPH, sideways, not far from where the picture was taken in Manchester, in 1970. The driver survived, with serious injuries. The...
