Not disagreeing with you at all - but I fear they are not the only ones. I needed new suspension shocks for my 20 year old (nearly) S2000 Honda - nla (although my Japanese contact could have built them from parts) and, owning a 7 year old rather swift Audi I'm on a seeming civilised Audi forum , and they have the same problem once they are about 12+ years old (I have been tempted to post on that forum - "are you sure it's not a Maserati"!)..........it seems they're not the golden oldieswe all know Maserati needs to do better with its support for old
Definitely not the only one...completely agreed.Not disagreeing with you at all - but I fear they are not the only ones.

Good point. I have a friend who does extreme rallies (cross continent stuff) in his 250 Pagoda and he always brags about parts availability from Merc. Not anymore! I am now finding quite a lot of NLA on my 2004 CL so it does seem to be industry wide and perhps a part of a bigger picture to get us to give up on perfectly serviceable old cars because we cannot maintain them!Not disagreeing with you at all - but I fear they are not the only ones.

bills that were £100k, £150k & £195k
These are all collectors cars from around the world, the £195k one belongs to a barrister in Hong Kong who wants it perfect and doesn't care what it costs.I am absolutely unable to get my head around this. I nearly bought one 25+ years back. They were peanuts (comparatively speaking)
