Frighteningly expensive when new, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE cabriolet has seen better days.

The convertible roof has its original stuffing pocking out through the tears in the fabric, and paint and interior are sights to behold. It would also tempting to keep this 220 SE in its unloved condition, but judging by the large crowds around the car, that seems somewhat unlikely!
