[Portfolio] Driving Classic Cars in England
« on: March 31, 2016, 12:44:27 »
Recently I had the opportunity to drive the English countryside in a classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL. A wonderful experience. Herewith an impression. Converted in Silver Efex.

"... except for the phones that did not exist ;-)"

My sentiment exactly when looking at these nice pictures. Fifty years ago, we hadn't yet been exposed to the Selfie-hysteria.

Flat-cap country so must be northern parts of the UK?

No, it was west-sussex in the south near the Goodwood Estate. I was there for the Goodwood Member Meeting at a comapny's invitation to report about it. I will post about it later

I stand corrected. Flat-caps immediately direct my thought to Yorkshire. Hence my suggestion.

This is such a wonderful series, Peter. I like each one of them. Odometer shot, wheel close up shots are classic!

What a beautiful series.

I just luv the Merc 300/SL and in order not to pollute your thread, I will start with a separate one for my collection of Classic Cars photos and include my Gullwing Merc pics.

Really nice shots.  I notice that all of the Mercs are left hand drive models.  Were they imported from the continent or were they visiting?

BTW, which car is the 300SL?

I can see 190SL and 230SL but not sure which is the 300SL?
