Nice cars gents. Interesting, I notice pin-striping on both cars. A neighbour brought her 420 SEL up here a few years ago, when she moved from the US. I had pin-striping too. Was this a factory thing in the US? I don't think I've even seen a Mercedes in a Canadian showroom, new or older models, with pin-stripes.
Ed 300E no pin stripes.
