Title: Proper Merc.
Post by: BazaJT on 11 September 2017, 19:11:55
On the way home tonight saw a bit of a rarity[for round here anyway]it was a "Pagoda roof" Merc. Seemed to be in very good nick-although it was going in the opposite direction to me-don't know what engine size this one had for the same reason.But still nice to see such a thing on the road.

Sound like the one Sophia Loren drove in the film Arabesque (1966) :y

My first employer back in 1969 had one of these ,white with a black hardtop fell in love with it when I first clapped eyes on it, just put the registration into the DVLA MOT site ( ELR 432C ) & it's still around & legal wonder if it's still in South London ?
