Very nice.

I personally prefer dry garages for my cars, too. Can’t imagine what a wet 
garage would do to them

2018-02-14 Thread Dimitri via Mercedes
Bought new by my parents in 1971 at Helms Brothers dealership in NY. They 
picked it up in Germany via European delivery and drove it to Greece where they 
were living. The car is a US spec model- probably the only 220/8 in Greece with 
US specs. Ironically, it’s never been in the US but has been driven throughout 
Europe. We keep it in Greece for when we visit. The car was driven on a daily 
basis by my father from 1971-1986. In 1986 it received a complete repaint with 
the exception of the roof. The car is and always has been completely rust free 
and has 128,000 original miles. It is in pristine condition- not a show car but 
a very high quality driver. I was last in Greece in 2008 for 3 months. I worked 
on the cosmetics of that car almost every day- mostly detailing. It has 
remained under cover in a dry garage ever since.
