Thanks for the post Bryce, some very nice cars were at the day.

I see you took a couple of pics of my 1972 280SE 3.5, the white one with the blue roof.

Kind Regards

Bill

I remember this car when Ron had it in Brisbane. Nice colour combo and quite unusual.

Not only was it a good day for the concours, it was also a good day to take the W111 out for a drive after - up around the old Northern Road towards wisemans ferry then back out towards scheyville tends to provide low traffic volumes and less motorbikes than the putty road. 150 miles goes quickly.

New foam insulation pad arrived today in a large brown box.

I have never seen so much packaging inside the box just for a foam pad.

Foam pad has a MB Classic Centre USA sticker on the side and the W126 part numbers.

300SE is booked in next Thursday to have the new foam pad installed.

you will get there it just takes money.

Yes I know might have to regrow another money tree if such a thing exists?

Anyhow the 300SE is my pride and joy so I am going to look after the car and enjoying driving the car.

Spend about 30 to 40 thousand should get you a trophy but might not be good enough. That's the sad fact Benzboy pointed out. Some people are willing to buy trophies what ever it cost. So enjoy your car its yours to enjoy.
