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.
