I like the 190SL:

I did shop around for a Mercedes SL but I prefer the 190SL, the one with the sloping back. Checked out two units with my mechanic but their chassis were badly corroded and both had a lot of Japanese parts as replacements. Worse was when my wife asked me "What do you want to do with that old car?" :? :(

Anyway, I still like it. :)

My previous car number was WCW 33...until it got stolen! :( Couldn't get the car number back. Anyhow I think the market value of this car is between RM100-200k...I may be wrong. :)

That must be the SL300 Gullwing. It must have a racing history, otherwise it will never fetch that kind of price. Yes the 300SL Gull wing have won the Millimelia ( a very famous race in Italy) driven by Stirling Moss. But that car is in the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart.

Here it is. The price is between USD150-200K unless it's got a racing history.

yeah.. the classic look much much better than what we have now.
Do hope they will produce a car that have the classic look but with current engine.
