Red 230 SL - Acorn Series Madame Blanc
« on: March 06, 2023, 16:43:33 »
Spotted a nice 230 SL on the Acorn TV series "The Madame Blanc Mysteries" Series 2 Episode 4. The series supposedly takes place in southern France but is actually filmed in Malta. And Members in Malta that might own this car?

The car has a French plate. May not be correct and not mean anything.

It is a sponge mop.  (You can see the top of it in the first photo.)

The wealthy car owners are going to do some cleaning...

The blue pole is a paint roller. The wealthy car owner is going to do some painting….I hope the paint tray is not full of paint and sitting on the back deck…..
