Very nice choice, I want to own one as well. It's MB's best designed four seater coupe ever.

Nothing can touch a 126, imo...

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!
