I like that next series of roadsters (W107) mostly because I drive one of them, but they are also quite elegant on their own merit.

Those W111 coupes are glorious.

I used to own a Volvo 1800e (which is basically a 122 with a different body). My father and I briefly contemplated dropping a Ford 289 into it, a la this guy. My mechanics at the time were keen on the project but then I went to university out of province and didn't have time to do it.

Indeed, the coupes are glorious. I love that model and that era.

Here's more.

The suicide doors are a nice touch.

This is my favorite iteration of the convertible.

+1. What a lovely car. Much nicer than my ungainly Ford Explorer.

Never much cared for this model.

But this!

And saving the best for last . . . the 600.

That 600 is out of this world.
