It's funny your choice in cars mate. 6/7 years ago you could have picked up a 300SL for relatively reasonable money. If I remember correctly 70/80K would have picked up a decent example. Then (think it was) AutoCar did a piece (not that this was the trigger) on them and virtually overnight the prices went sky-rocketting and last year they were selling anywhere up to £650K. I'd take the roadster version over the gull-wing every day of the week though. Far more beautiful lines in my opinion.
