Great points everyone. I think the styling is a solid evolution, but I understand the skepticism. The maintenance concern is real though – we need to see how parts pricing compares to standard Expeditions.
Euro spec 280SL is the way to go if you’re serious about authenticity. The bumper design, the lighting, all the details are just right. This is exactly what I’d be looking for if I were in the market. Fantastic find Alba!
The 2001 Boxster S is underrated. Check the timing chain tensioners carefully though – those are known to wear. If the previous owner did the recall work, that’s a good sign.
