Mark Bailey bought a new unregistered one along with two unregistered E30 Evo Sport M3's and a low miles RS200 only a few years ago as a package deal from the original purchaser. he sold the Merc for about Ł70k from what I recall to the states, and the E30s for a bit less each to Ireland, dread to think what they are all worth these days

Most likely belongs to someone with a lot of money and a collection of cars and it's on loan there to display. I think the old gul wing merc there belongs to James Martin

I agree there was some cool cars in the 80s 90s.

I also think its a shame not to drive them.

Don't know if it's my age but I do agree that the 80s/90s gave us some seriously cool cars, too many models/options now and the way you can finance/lease has made cars disposable.

Wasn't aware quite how much they were worth, great pics of an awesome car op
