Hi all.

I know it's been a while since I've posted. I used to frequent here for knowledge for my '75 280S. That car is long gone since the project went stagnant because college. But I've moved on and now have a '74 450SEL!

I'm a freelance auto journalist and photographer now post-college undergraduate and wanted to share my W116 Buyer's Guide with all of you that I wrote up for Hagerty. I hope you enjoy it!

Mods, feel free to pin it for future and prospective W116 buyers. I also mentioned this site as a grand location for all things W116 and a great resource, as you all provide.

I had read this before. Small world! That's a pretty extensive write-up, and a nice example in the pictures.
