Tech Session Wrap-Up;
Fifty-Six people attended the session over the two day period. A total of ten very nice and different W113 cars showed up. Many other W113 owners traveled long distances and left the SL's at home due to weather or time considerations. Some additional Vintage
Mercedes SL's and such were displayed also (190-SL's, 450-SLC, 300-SEL 6.3, 250-SE Cabro, 280 W114) . The weather cooperated for the most part. Some early birds (Michael, Tom, Klaus, Bob, Cees) showed up
Friday Night for refreshments and an advance preview.
