I was about 7 months into full restore on a 1986 560SEL before the car was rear ended by a driver that was wasted. Just picked up a replacement ride, a 2009 C300. I miss the old car but the good news is, this doesn't need any restoring. It's got a pano roof and the multimedia package, which beats the crap out of the Becker 780 tape deck in the 1986
Last picture shows the C300 next to the 2001 SL500
