What Makes the 1988 Mercedes 560SL and BMW M5 Special with Paul Broughton

Why on earth did Paul Broughton buy two 1988 model cars? Sure these cars are a ton of fun to drive, and their rare, limited production makes them highly sought after, but as our guest this episode shares, they can have some cool stories attached to them. Paul tells how he acquired his collectables (one of which wasn’t even for sale!), why his wedding date plays a role in choosing the 1988 models, and his time in California on a five miles stretch of highway with other Bimmer owners testing the max speed limits of these iconic machines. Listen in to hear these stories and much more!
