Was noticeable to you, which does not tune something with the side
windows. The side windows would have to be nevertheless in the back
straight, or?    

Photoshoped?

Detlef,
You are right with the very straight back window on the hardtop.  The top line looks to be too long in the straight and slightly moving up.  Looking at the hood reflection, looks like a street sign post was erased.  Possibly to protect the address of Kate Moss?

Last night in the UK, a documentary of the making of the ''TAKE THAT'' Circus tour was televised .....
My daughter shouted out, daddy look it's Jason Orange ( Of Take That ) with his 280SL Pagoda, telling us how he had it restored it after 10 years of being locked in a garage, and showing it off.

Last year there was a red '63 Pagoda on eBay with all the documentation, including the bill of sale,  made out to to Ricky Nelson of Beverly Hills. Here in the USA he gained fame and fortune at a young age via the '60's TV series "Ozzie and Harriet". His career success declined in the late '70's and he was eventually killed in a plane crash sometime in the early '90's. Another Rock-n-Roll Hero who died too young.

FYI: Hardy Krueger,young, blond German actor very famous during '50 and 60'. Passioned small plane pilot which led to his own TV show " Hardy's Bordbuch" depicting his flying adventures.
Came to Hollywood, I rememebr only two of his movies: "Flight of the Phoenix", with James Steward, he played the young german engeneer overseing the repair of that grounded plane, not telling anyone that he is actually building "model planes" for a living,not the full size ones.
" Hatari" is the other one with John Wayne and Red Buttons, catching wild animals for zoos around the world.
So, there.......

CHEERS !
WITT !

Thanks Richard - I knew I saw it somewhere but could not remember where. I did run a search but this 'only' searches the discussion forum I suppose:

John Lennon of the Beatles
Colin Powell, US Secretary of State
Tina Turner (US entertainer, reported in Vanity Fair Magazine
Charlton Heston (movie star, car was in an auction
Audrey Hepburn (Used her own car in a film)
John Travolta (reported in Entertainment Magazine)
Sir Stirling Moss, Race Driver (Photo of his car)
John Glenn, US Astronaut (Photo of his car)
Juan Fangio, Race Driver (Photo of his car)
David Coulthard, F-1 Driver (Published photo)
Peter Ustinov, (Reported in a book by Heilig)
Priscilla Presley (widow of "The King", the car is on view at Graceland)

King Hussein of Jordan
Jennifer Aniston
Kate Moss
Sophia Loren

Could you add these last four (from 'my' list) to the list on the website Richard? Kate Moss was mentioned in the recent Top Gear program, Sophia Loren is on a photo in one of our Authoritative Books (can't find that photo now @!#$) Jennifer Aniston mentioned in a recent Jay Leno show that she "bought an antique car, a 1968 280 sl" with her first big paycheck (now here's someone with the right priorities in life) and King Jordan is featured in the new book from the Classic Center "Faszination SL W 113" on page 55 (where also photos of Stirling Moss, Peter Ustinov, Fangio, as well as two other "stars" that I am not familiar with: a Hardy Kruger and Ewy Rosqvist-von Korff)

I missed the Labor Day vintage race car weekend this year at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut but a friend snapped these two pics for me. Supposedly this Pagoda belongs to track owner and retired race car driver Skip Barber! Looks like the one that had been pictured in the MB Classic Center not long ago. You don't see this color often.

comedian dawn french had a white 230 that lenny henry bought for her  and bobby moore england football legend had one

[floatinghat]

Watching Top Gear "baby spice" has one or two, I think it was one in the UK and one in France.

ESPN just had a profile of Martina and Chrissy, it opens and closes with the two ladies in Martina's white SL driving down the road.

a couple of years ago a 230SL was sold on eBay with registration documentation indicating the original owner was pop singer Ricky Nelson.
