This is a really good point, and I agree.  I just
wish they would tell me that!  "We are writing
about a driver, and of course, for a 280SL, there
is a whole world of really nice cars that sell
at far higher prices and get all the details right."

They seem to act like their little world of 
semi-beaters is all that exists and that it is
special, and while I understand and feel most
of my cars are just drivers, I don't see anything
interesting or exceptional about partially
restored cars done by amateurs with almost all 
the important stuff screwed up.  There is nothing
wrong with that, I just don't find it worthy
of a magazine, nor do I find it instructive.

But maybe that's just me.

Best regards, Jim Schrager

They recently had an article on the Mercedes 280SL as well and had the
prices pegged somewhere in the $40000 range. I just put way over $100,000
into a 1969 280SL. They are not far for a nice used car, but don't they
cater to the "collector"?

I'm of a different opinion on the Hemmings Sports Car magazine, having
subscribed from day one.
Whenever they write about a car I know really well, like a Porsche 356 or
911, I can't believe how many mistakes they publish.  I haven't seen the
latest issue on the CS, and I am not that knowledgable on the CS myself, but
I can't imagine they do much of a good job on anything.
I far prefer Sports Car Market magazine (but of course that may be because I
write for it).  In SCM, we really sweat the details and make sure the info
we provide is correct.  Just my 3.0 cents.
Best regards, Jim Schrager
