I suppose two photos should be fine; one of the interior, one of the exterior..

Not my cars, but for me the most evocative picture ever taken of the 300 SL and perhaps one of the best advertising efforts ever.  This is the picture that kindled my lifelong interest in the 300 SL, my mother's purchase of a new Roadster in 1961, and my purchases of a Coupe in 1964 and an additional one in 1971.  I still have all three.  The picture is taken from an advertisement by Mercedes-Benz Sales, Inc. (A Subsidiary of Studebaker-Packard Corporation) which appeared on page 10 of the May, 1960 issue of ROAD & TRACK.

The picture is fantastic ....but ...
You are one automotively blessed individual.
I sat in a 300 SL roadster once, not while moving.
Someday I hope to get a ride in one.
Take care and enjoy the ride.

After too many years, I finally finished our '68 280SL. I couldn't find old posts showing my protracted efforts to complete it, but here's the finished product. My wife was extremely patient about other cars and a vintage racing itch that interfered during the final stretch, and is very happy to have her car back!

Not sure it's my favourite, but took her for a drive recently on a nice winter's morning to place called 'Emerald' in Victoria - about 1hr drive from Melbourne. Plan on doing the same tomorrow - possibly top down as I recently took off the hard top.

Nice Photo Rob.  If the weather clears up here at the Rock, I may get Bella out for a spin.  You going to the German Auto Fest 28 August?  Was going and trying to get a few other Pagodas.

Thanks for the heads up Garry, I'll try make it.

I see the day is sponsored by VW - will you take your Pagoda or Kombi?

Are you sure the venue is large enough? The Alfa Club has their day at Wesley also and they comfortable fill the place. I would have thought VW or Porsche could fill the place alone, without the likes of MB / other Germans.

Am taking my Pagoda.  The kombi is in for a full resto at the moment and will not finish until November.  Has been going 1 1/2 years now with November the aim date. You know what its like, I had hoped to have finished in December last year!!!!!

Not sure  of the size of the place but I think it is similar to Wesley College.

I think there a couple of the local Pagoda guys going like Mark, Michael and Jimmy.

Here's my 1970SL, USA version, out for a run near Prague, CZ. I have removed (but kept) the ugly side lights.
