Helga's twin - a 1997 R129, but this one's a V8 SL500. The owner had done some complicated man maths and recently taken it to Stuttgart to get the soft top replaced at the original trimmers who did them in the first place when the cars were made. Apparently it was almost the same cost as having it done here :^o :lol:

An impressive Bentley. Apparently the Jeep beside it is a 'two owner car', the first owner being the Navy in WW2, and they never used it and just put it in storage :shock:

Three Sevens makes 21, but there's a fourth on the end so that makes 28..... and theoretically that could be an Austin 7 right at the end.... so that could make 35.
28 not 21 - own work

And to finish up, a nice little original Marcos.
