The real thing.

In its later forms (10V MB and 20V) probably the most serious driving 
instrument ever built.  Equally at home on a 400-mile stretch or pushing it 
really hard down a country lane.  The early ones aren't _bad_, but they're not 
the same.
 
Also a money pit.
 
US imports (effectively) ran from 1983 to 1985.  The rest of the world was 
luckier.
