I have a rust free 1985 280SE with almost 200,000 on it and my father's 1980 450SL with 90,000 also rust free. I know it's hard to keep cars rust free in the northeast. Unfortunate for keeping things up. Out here we can get lifetime plates for $25 and insurance for them both is less than $300 a year. I can do all normal maintenance and some work like brakes, belts , etc .

A person can get another and keep it for good weather , would give you something to drive to the Southern SxS .

My 31st and 32nd Land Rovers, along with one of my son's, are way out back, on the edge of the woods. I have reframed and rebuilt several of these over the years, but not in a long while. I had a '61 Jaguar MK 2 that sat on a trailer from the day I brought it home, and a '52 MG-TD and Mini Cooper (a real one) that got mangled when the barn they were stored in collapse with 3 feet of snow on the roof. In 2000, I bought a Land Rover Defender 110, that had an engine fire, thinking I could make some good money, but ended up bringing it back to new, and drove it for 13 years. Paid $6K, sold it for $38K. I swore I would never do another collector car, until I swapped the crushed Mini, for a new Land Rover frame from Rovers North. on and on it goes.

I don't know what it is but I do love the old Land Rovers.

I do also, Eric. I bought my first one in 1964 and there's been so many since then I can't remember them all.

Someday I would like to own one. I remember the first time riding in one going to the Snake River I was 16 and I thought this was "cool"
