Greetings!
What have we been doing during California's torrential rains? Buying cars. Oldtimers purchased include a barn find Gullwing, three 190SLs, half a dozen Pagodas and a few 111 convertibles. Youngtimers weren't neglected and we found two superb 560SLs and a museum quality '84 300D-T.
Inspecting cars in filthy, dark garages prevented me from attending the season's first great concours - Amelia Island. Thanks to our contributors we can all tour the glorious Mercedes-Benz that were displayed.
Do you remember the brilliant orange Wankel engine C111s? Arturo Alonso does and has decided to build his own. We report on his ambitious V12 Ciento Once project.
We begin our Learning Series with an in depth look at the eternally elegant 111 coupe/cabriolet range. For those of us attracted to these eminently usable two doors, this is a must read.
I've neglected to mention our massive new Video Collection. This month's sample allows you to sit next to Bruno Spengler for a ride in an SLR Speedster. There are over 100 more videos to enjoy.
Please enjoy this month's newsletter.
