250 SL Getting No Love - Hagerty
« on: June 30, 2018, 17:24:35 »
For what it is worth, Hagerty's latest list of the 25 cars getting no love from classic buyers, the 250SL was at the top of the list.

Unfortunately they can not rate the love they are getting from their present owners!

They fail to mention that there are only 1/10th the amount of 250's compared  to 280's so their own research is flawed. The car was only made for 1 year. Their research is based on their own insured so with less cars out there of course they are going to have a low count in their system. One could argue "straight from the horses mouth" but I call Bull
 FAKE NEWS!
