Mine are as follows:

1. 1979 280SE   2001 - 2003

2. 1974 350SE   2002 (for spares)

3. 1974 280SE   2003

4. 1980 280S    2004 - 2006 (Still regretting the sale)

5. 1974 280SE  2006 - pres.

No. 3 and 5 are not the same cars by the way.

Just the two, which as you know I still have.  I can't imagine though ever giving up one for sale.

73  350SE
75  280S

But how many would I like to own?  Well, as many as possible of course.  Given a sizeable lotto win, I'd start a W116 museum sandwiched between, my 108/109 museum and my "other benzes" annex.

Ahh one can dream ::)
1973 350SE, my first & fave

But we can't help it. Like Nutz says, it is a disease and there is no cure!!

73 350SE Euro spec, Manual windows, MB Tex 4 speed manual
76 450SEL 6.9 Euro spec, Valour , really rough shape, butchered spring conversion.
79 450SEL 6.9 US Spec , almost a daily driver, currently in the shop because the mechanic broke a bolt and an easy out in the head when trying to replace the timing chain tensioner.

I see all you guys with more than one W116 and I wish I too could have more than one but I just don't have the space. The downside of living in an apartment in the city :-\ I know I would have a few more if I had the space!

Mforcer, I also only have one 116. I used to live in an apartment and at one stage had 5 cars!! That was not fun with cars all over the place.

Martin 280s

I just have one, with the added bonus of having the orignal importation docs even down to the name of the ship which it arrived on! I'm the third owner in 31 years!

Just the one so far, looking at buying a W116 280SE from my mechanic for my daily driver.
