Michael Hiles Posted September 6, 2021 Share #15947 Posted September 6, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would guess a 300SL roadster. I also have no worthy shots to submit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 6, 2021 Share #15948 Posted September 6, 2021 Michael, Correct. I have never really understood the hype over these cars, although this 1962 factory disc brake car is a whole lot nicer to drive than any of the Gull Wings I have driven. I personally would far rather have had in period, an Aston Martin DB4 convertible, 250GT California or Maserati 3500 GT Cab. Anyone got a puzzle car they can post? Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

They look a bit like a 1950's Telefunken gramophone inside, with all the cream coloured knobs, controls and weird instruments. The pagodas are much nicer to drive and probably my favourite Mercedes, which admittedly is not saying a lot. I have never owned a Mercedes and doubt if I ever will, although my wife has been muttering about leasing an A250e PHEV. Wilson 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I have never driven any 300SL, and likely never will. But I have spent my whole long driving life owning/driving their garden variety sedans, all of which have been very impressive. Always much more competent than me. I have always been impressed by Mercedes Benz engineering - design has been directed by engineers (not accountants). They have always (to me) been much more attractive than their close competitors (BMW, Audi). Jaguars come close (but they are not so reliable).

Wilson Ah yes, the Nash Metropolitan. When I was refurbishing my then new house in 2011 as a 45 year old I saw one in a car park at B&Q in Slough. I had a close up look and the owner returned, a lady in her 80s. She said to me how nice to see someone admiring it, as it was only people of "our" generation who could appreciate it! The cheek of it! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
