I had a 240. My mechanic called it the "Swedish brick". Aptly named. Amazing car that I drove for 10+ years and then sold for the same price I bought it for.
A regular thought (not plan) would be to reproduce the 240 SL using lightweight materials on an appropriate EV skateboard with modern ADAS systems and not many other changes.
The 144, 164, 240, and 244 were beautiful. I just don’t think that asthetic would sell to enough people anymore. It is vastly different style than what is on the road today. Fashion changes and people move on.
