Central Florida Mercedes GTG
November 18, 2007

By The Numbers

Interesting turnout of cars at the CF GTG. W123 cars dominated the event, spearheaded by 5 W123 coupes including one gasser. To my surprise, there were no W124 or W201 cars. The oldest car was a beautiful 1970 280SL , the newest, a sharp 2006 C230.

It was a terrific event made successful by the strong turnout, the planning by “The Don”, the generosity of “Surf and Turf”, The mechanical advice offered by Pierre and the terrific weather. Thanks also to Schuman Automotive for the great door prizes.

Here is the breakdown of cars:

W115 Chassis cars: 1
W123 Chassis cars: 12
W126 Chassis cars: 5
W107 Chassis cars: 3
W113 Chassis cars: 1
W203 Chassis cars: 1
L508 Truck: 1
Smart Car: 1
Total: 25*
*Plus an `06 Jetta TDI
