Good Points

Power, space and looks. Presence is second to none for a classic car and they attract an admiring audience when out and about. Still great value!


Bad Points

Thirst when using the power! It also takes quite a lot of parking space, so dinks and dents are likely if you use shopping centre car-parks, (so don't!).


General Comments

I have only owned my high-milage Mercedes Benz 500SE 5.0 V8 example for a month or two but depite having travelled to the moon (238K), the V8 is lusty, smooth and clean.
The body is solidly built and reflects the car's ability and purpose.
The interior is comfortable but the seats are a little soft.
A true classic and destined for proper recognition in the future.
