Walking Juno a few weeks ago, I spotted this car just around the corner from the sharp Volvo P1800ES that
was previously profiled.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Nmgfntxq_aoz45jeUa9XBj9-umaCW8tYBXmH7vDgiuWb-_PqO9t5CWukWWR-qvs-KbZH8iNpnX0aj5Pq_i9VAKfItsibz9HeKyTF8k1cNLhdQcjIszXtvu-CrClJCHRKPyU0h7KMEVvC/s320/IMG_4488.jpg)
From the front, no big deal, just a ten-plus year-old Mercedes SL-class roadster. But check it out in profile.

Clean, elegant and simple. I approve. Especially when outfitted with these AMG 5-spoke wheels and propelled by a sensationally-smooth V12 engine.

Quite the boulevard cruiser. And while it may not have as much character as the R-107 body style that preceded it (one of
the ten cars I'll own before I'm dead), I still wouldn't kick it out of the garage...

...provided someone else is picking up the tab for repair and maintenance.
