One of the best cars ever made. I always wanted a C126 500SEC, it's a gorgeous creation.
I however chose to go for something a bit more rare, more "special" in a way... Its not so well-known predecessor, the C107. I love it, it's an extraordinary car. I just put 350kms to it, it's a dream!!
I love your other cars aswell, very very wisely chosen, all of them are really splendid!
