Title: 280SL in Dutch Flower Parade
Post by: Brian in NL on April 20, 2013, 19:44:01

Saw this lovely 280SL today in a short line of classic cars that ended the annual Bulbflower Parade that runs 40 km from Noordwijk to Haarlem in the Netherlands. Anyone know whose it is? All the cars had signs from the Tulpen Rallye.

Sure, I know the owners very well. They are Patrick and Carla, live in Leiden, and I always meet up with them during the Tulpenrally (http://www.tulpenrallye.nl). The start is on the 4th of May in Noordwijk, so you can see all the cars that saturday.

From 11:00 the cars start with a sprint on the boulevard at Noordwijk. Then the rally cars go to the the Rob Slotemakers drift-circuit near Zandvoort, and also do a test on former airfield Valkenburg. From 15:00 cars shall return to Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk. With over 200 cars participating the last car will probably start with the sprint at 12:30 and finish at the Grand Hotel at 16:30.

Patrick and Carla are not members here, but know of our existence...
