Yes...
The W113 Mercedes is a truly wonderful car.
I've looked into getting one. If I did... It would ONLY be a weekend car.

Many trim and bodywork pieces are next to impossible to find.
One reason is that they did not build that many...

230 SL ---- 1963 to 1966 ---- 19,831 cars
250 SL ---- 1966 to 1968 ---- 5,196 cars
280 SL ---- 1967 to 1971 ---- 23,885 cars

Truly a classic regardless of how many were made.
I'd love to have a later 280SL.
