Solido ~ Mercedes Benz 220 SE ~ # 126

  A super Solido model this week !  How can you have a collection without a 220 SE ?  This particular model looks to have been used once to often in a bank job getaway !  The rear suspension is collapsed and the windshield has a bullet hole right in the 
middle !    Perhaps it's been driven just a little too much like this photo !
