Sold the 280SL and the 300D
Well guys, the W113 and my recent W123 acquisition have both been sold. The 280SL is going to it's new home in Pensacola, FL and will be undergoing a thorough restoration, which pleases me greatly. The W123 my uncle bought from me to use as his winter beater. In replacement of the 280SL, I have purchased a '75 Triumph TR6. My father had one many years ago and I owned one a few years back but it needed constant work (I do mean constant!!) so I have decided that a fully restored TR6 was the way to go. In all honesty, a British roadster is more of a "sports car" to me than an SL, even the W113. Although the SL is indeed a gorgeous automobile, a roadster should not need air conditioning and an automatic transmission!! So in the name of all out sports cars, I give lead to the Brits. I'll be heading to Michican shortly to pick up the new TR. Can't wait to hear those hairy-chested exhaust notes once again!!
