230/250SL in Sonoma CA
« on: December 13, 2013, 16:21:21 »
My wife and daughter took a trip over to the wine country yesterday and spotted this very nice 230/250SL parked in front of the El Dorado Hotel in Sonoma. Look familiar to any members?

Hi John,
the car belongs to Art "1979speedster". After visiting the Pat Matthew collections - together with Larry "lurtch" -  we had lunch here and then he kindly got me back to the Santa Rosa airport.
We did not see your Pagoda, where were you hiding!

Hello Alfred,
 How about that! My wife also captured a very short video (only a couple of seconds) of the two of you driving down 1st street. My daughter was driving her Scion and our SL was safely tucked away in our nice warm garage up here in the frigid foothills. They did bring me home a slice of Pizza from Sonoma's very own "Mary's Pizza Shack":-)
