It\u2019s interesting how emotions kick in with a very interesting car here on BAT!\ud83d\ude01\r\n\r\nI really love these pontoons, whatever the color might be, as they were beautifully designed, and had a flow to the bodies that really stands the test of time. This car has been well sorted, and that wood is really something special. A car that will certainly stand out anywhere you take it and will put a big smile on your face while driving it.\r\n\r\nI actually prefer these over the 190 and 300SL\u2019s, as it\u2019s a much more comfortable car to both drive and ride in\u2026you can bring your friends with you on a lovely outing somewhere, and you generally will get even more comments and thumbs then on an SL.
