280SL FS in CT
« on: August 23, 2019, 23:57:19 »
Sharing this 280 on offer from Dragone.  I’m sure M. Bracq would be unhappy about the aftermarket side-impact strips.  Perhaps they are just glued on, but I fear not .... Like the vintage hammer in the tool kit!

I have no involvement in this sale.

There is at least one other Pagoda in the world with similar side trim.  See the pictures posted here by fellow member France some time ago taken at a well known European event.  I don't know which is worse on the Blue 280SL, the extra side trim or the fuzzy seat covers. ::)

The BenzWorld R/C107 SL/SLC Forum has a long running thread entitled, "The Official BW107 Hall of Shame," for posting such pictures.  Hopefully we don't have enough examples for such a thread.
