v nice car, i was in paris the other day and went into mercs showroom on the champs elysee, they had the maclaren slr as well as the new s class. i can honestly say they have moved the game on significantly and will result in a flooding of the current shell s class onto the market with 15 months resulting in rapid deflation on pricing.
by the way volvoboy, probably just as well your dads car doesnt have sat nav, the command module was the one weakness of the early cars giving numerous problems. your dad did very well..enjoy:)

Did the previous owner replace the rear lights with the later model ones, or was it your dad?

Yeah S280/S320s aint rockets. Grand for most people buying them, but as your dad, I'd only go for a V8
