'Birthday' today ... sort of
« on: September 14, 2018, 20:17:34 »
Today is my beloved 114 015's "birthday"...; well, sort of. ;)

On 14 September 1971 car was registered for the street for the first time under my uncle's registry.
Datacard says '15 September 1971' which was the delivery date "Übernahmetag"  (to my uncle).

My parents took over the 158H-colored car from him in Nov 1973...,
and I have been taken care since Feb '74 of my beloved sheetmetal buddy.

Was the entry into my real Mercedes world
and door opener to the Pagoda world and away from the 190 SL world.  ;)

Never regreted these decisions !!
Congratulations to you 114015 for 45 exciting years of car-human companionship !


Achim

 Achim, Happy Birthday to you and your beloved Pagoda. Great that it has been in the family all of it's life too. My car will be having a Birthday also next week. It will officially become a "Senior Citizen" ;D

Oooops, I mis read "114" for "113". It's even in your screen name for crying out loud!  Old age is no excuse but please forgive me for my Faux Pas. :-[
