Wow, thats at least 3/8ths more of a trip than the average old British car completes

I don't know if Targa wold affect values on the Supra. To me it doesn't make a difference.

Italian car show in Vancouver by boomchek

Went to an Italian car show on the weekend. There was a bunch of newer Ferraris and Lambos, but I took photos of mostly the old stuff.
 
The show only had about 40 cars, but it was free and fun.
 
You can see the photos here: Italian Car Show
 
The first two photos with me in it are from a different show n shine 2 weeks ago.
 
Enjoy.

Do I see an Alfa 1900 SS there? I've always liked those.

Yeah... when he told me he was making the trip for the 2nd time, I replied that he was really sticking his tongue out at the car gods...
 
Pretty good traveling cars, if you didn't have to carry all the spare parts..

I just had to show you this:

What a waste of a final-run W126 300SE. Just curious, how much would a good, clean, mint 300SE or SEL, with average miles, from 1991 run today? I know you once owned one, and loved it. What was yours, an SE or SEL?

Yeah a 91 300SE is pretty unusual, most you see are 89-90. That one has really been tackified, the chrome wheel lips, wheels, tint, and grille kill the simple elegance of the W126.
 
Mine was an 89 300SE. It was pretty miled up by the time I sold it, but it was still a beautiful car, and I would have kept it if I could. I think those cars are just so good looking, when stock anyway. I wouldn't mind having another sometime, I would especially like to to find a diamond blue (same color as mine) with a creme interior. 4 place seating in a SEL would be very cool too. I also wouldn't mind finding an unmolested period AMG example.
 
A very clean 100K mile late W126 with documented maintenance and no deferred issues should run maybe 5K. Prices are pretty equal no matter which model. Only the very special cars will go significantly higher than that.
