I really like the SL63. Nice color!

There is a picture of Jumpy Guy in the SL floating around here somewhere. Patty probably has it.

I don't know what models Maury's cars were.

Maybe its the relatively high mileage on the SL. Maybe its the Jimmy Durante nose. Or maybe bidders are discounting the cost of maintenance on the Benz.
But before drawing conclusions, lets see what the selling prices are on the SL and the Sprite, assuming both auctions are successful. I expect the Benz will end up going for a good bit more. The Sprite is already up to the typical healthy BaT premium value, IMHO.

Patricia. I think that is an SLK350, similar to number 2, but with a V6 and not the V8

That sounds about right. Maury looked cool in it.

Really? I was pretty sure he had a 55.
But alas he had two square exhausts and not a pair on each side.
SLK350 it was.
