[V8] re SLC

[Buchholz, Steven]

... funny Ed, the longer I know you the more I realize that we're cut from very similar cloth ... 

I have to admit, a '74 450 SLC was the first (and only) MBZ I ever drove.  In fact it was very likely the first non-murkin car I drove.  There were three things that hooked me on the SLC ... I loved how flat the car stayed in hard cornering (compared to what I was used to) ... I appreciated the slushbox that would also downshift on deceleration ... and I really like the lines and scale of the car.  To some respects the SL with the hard top installed (how often do you see that?) is a bit short and abrupt for my taste ... although I like the concave top ... 

... and if I'm going for an "SL" ... I'll take it as an ur-300SL thank you very much!
