Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)

9 20" options is a lot I'd have thought and nearly all the other rims are nicer than those in fairness

I would have thought for €350k, they'd look a bit more unique and less like a lot of stuff that's already out there!
None of them jump out at you and say wow!

Cool but there's better ways to spend €350k IMO

Here's a weird one (to me). I thought the B10 was only a 1990's thing...

Is vignale the new top spec?

Yeah, it’s been around for a few years now.

Don't forget you get a relationship manager as well!

They’d want to be pretty open-minded for that sort of money.

I agree but the selection isn'#t great.
See here for more info:

They're 20", any bigger and you're looking at truck rims

It would look better with 21" or 22" wheels

Out of curiosity, how would someone finance a €350k S65. It is still just an S class and the depreciation would be eye watering. I am guessing a €350k Ferrari (although not as practical) would hold better values. Owner is not stuck for money obviously but surely they look at that. PCP would be interesting 😀

Probably find some way to do it tax efficiently depending on what they do. Logically a Ferrari would make more sense finance wise as it`d hold more of a residual but everyone knows what a Ferrari is and what they cost so it would be endless attention everywhere you go. I`d say maybe 1/10 people who see that merc will be able to tell what it is so the owner would avoid a lot of (likely unwanted) attention.

Chances are he probably has a Ferrari too

Merc is a usable everyday car though whereas a Ferrari isn't.

A video review of that Merc was suggested on my YouTube feed. When it's in sport mode it sounds mental. I thought it would all be about wafting and cruising in comfort. Which it can obviously do, but when it's in sport the exhaust sounds like an ak47.

Anything 65 Merc do is a ridiculous animal pretending to be a comfort car.

I was looking at that and have to say it was one ugly beast . Couldn't find an attractive angle on it . Might be owned by the guy who has Sodablast .ie

No photos but a steady stream of, French I think , exotics passed through Molls Gap down into Kenmare yesterday . These inc. couple of DB5 converts, AR Montreal, BMW 503,Chinese eyes Bentley, Iso Grifo, Lancia Flamina touring, MB 350 Gullwing plus a convert plus many more.
I was sitting in Avoca at the gap and couldn't take photos but they were stunning.

Definitely a WTF moment, DB11 with deliveroo on it


Very well looked after car:

A 92 Micra on Griffith Avenue loaded down with 3 OAP's. It looks like a daily.

Meet all those Belgium cars heading in on the N59 to Gawlay on Saturday morning, some lovely Ferrari's and sounds!

Passed a foreign reg Z8 on the way out to Connemara this morning, first time to see one in the flesh.

Obviously no pics or any of the cars mentioned above.
