>From the price checker at http://www.hemmings.com:
    Among 22 ad(s) found that list prices:
    The average asking price is: $162,332
    The highest asking price is: $326,000
    The lowest asking price is: $16,500

With the 18 TR4's in Hemmings carrying an average asking price of $8,163, that
means... hmm... you can buy ALL of those TR4's for an average 300SL! And you
wouldn't "risk" your investment much by driving some of them, either.
