Thanks - I certainly flipped and flopped over the white walls.
The first set l bought had a white band that was too wide and didn’t look right. I managed to find a set of Sumitomo’s that looked better.

I’m also considering putting a mint set of Bundts on it with Black Wall
Tyres. I think it might look better but my friends talked me out of it. It had the Bundts when l bought it but per the datacard was painted Hubcaps.

Haha, I considered Bundt too!
Your car is beautiful, mine is not a concours car as i have made it how I like with central locking, electric windows, headrests, the wrong radio and a W108 front roll bar 😀
I hope to spot a few W113 when we are in Aus next year.

Sounds like you set yours up for driving - which is the best we can do for these cars. Let me know if you make it to Melbourne. Cheers. Rob

I note your car list, my 62 E Type made way for comfort and automatic of the SL.  Its now living in Hong Kong.
It would be nice to catch up, we have a wedding to attend and maybe Lord Howe Island but other than a return to Bathurst we don’t have a plan.

Thats a great group of cars. E-type looks stunning in Metallic Grey. Pagoda is a peach, but I am biased :)
