Automotif CCCLIX...

Photographed with a similarly-colored Nikon 1 V2 & 1 Nikkor 18.5mm f/1.8

Looking like the ride belonging to a heavy in Miami Vice, here's a nicely-kept early-'80s Mercedes-Benz 500SEC. 

The Arktikweiss pre-facelift C126 coupe has a fuel-injected 304 cubic inch SOHC 2V V-8 rated at 184 SAE net horsepower in its EPA-compliant form. (The Euro version packed 228bhp, since they hadn't instituted strict emissions controls over there yet.)

Those fat BBS rims are peak Eighties and make my heart go pitter pat.
