300 SL was known for being a horribly handling and lousy braking car, only good on the straights. Oh and had cool doors and fancy matching luggage.<span></span><br><br>On Friday, April 10, 2015, Bob Spidell <<a href="mailto:bspidell@comcast.net">bspidell@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

My folks' neighbor has an unrestored 300SL in better shape--at
least, the interior is--but it was painted black over the original
silver (a better color, IMO, esp. with red interior). I got a ride
in it the other day; it's (relatively) big, heavy and solid, but not
nearly as nimble or as much fun as our BN2.<br>
