I've got a '91 with approx. 148K miles. Smoke silver with creme beige interior, 3 pc. 17" AMG monoblocs w/ 245/45/17WR. I'm not sure what the car is worth, but I'm lusting for Bruce's black 560 Euro.

Sorry, only my 1988 on ebay which ends tonight:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=150037117576
There is one on ebay here though:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=280030714427
I have not seen the car and do not know the seller, but might be worth
checking out.
Bruce
