Have you driven or owned an older merc? The quality is unbelievable. Not the fastest, even in its day, but very well engineered, even the ones right up until they merged with Chrysler. My dad had a 420 SEL and I loved driving that car even with its crazy expensive maintenance bills (Dad was OCD about getting it serviced only at stealerships). I'm thinking about a 190E 2.3 16V as a next car... or a regular 190 with a Brabus kit and Brabus 3.5 motor wayyy down the road though.

I believe soggynoonoos is commenting in response to fizay's post, not your post about your pagoda SL.

Thank god the cover was placed safely in the trunk to keep it from getting dirty over the years!

Wiring looks to be safe from mice, so its just a matter of dealing with the fluids and gas.
