Unexpected Surprise Meeting

Just thought I would share some feel good pics.

Sunday last week, sunny blue sky day, thought I would take the roadster for a spin.
drove along the foreshore to say gaday to my mate Locky ( another Benz nutter)
I parked my red 380SL on the grass strip and asked Locky to bring his (Red 380SL) out to say hello.
The next thing we see is another (Red 380SL) driving past,
well this was just too much, what are the odds of this happening. so we took the opportunity and snapped some photos and got to know some new found enthusiasts.

cheers

Very nice.  You're making me miss the red 450SL I sold now.  I have a silver 500SL now, but red remains an excellent choice for these cars.

Hey Ryan,

I remember you had the 450, nice car, these 107's tend to grow on you the longer you own them.

is your silver SL a 107 or 129?

The silver one is an early pre-facelift 107.  1981 model.   Black leather.  Its a bit rough, my dad used it as a daily for about 15 years, so it needs bascially everything done now.

it would probably be worth a resto as good 107's are finally starting to appreciate in value here in Oz

my  1985, 380 is in original condition, i purchased it from the first owner 15 years ago with 83,000km on it.

and it finally is worth what i paid for it back then.! Ha Ha, not a good investment but a lot of good times.

cheers

That is a fortunate coincidence, Great photos!

thats phenomenal. it makes my once in 30 year occurrence look weak. one day i stopped at the lights in the red LWB gwagen, and another red LWB gwagen pulled up beside me. with only 100 in the country originally i thought that was pretty good. but I'm going to pay three red SLs!
