Wow reggie it really does look in great nick! Sold unseen and a good price - incredible.
Just out of interest why did you want a left hooker?
-
i have a place in tenerife so driving down-portsmouth to bilbou then drive to portimao portugal to santa cruz tenerife-blast along tf1 to los christianos-was booked on ferries aug 2nd but its taken so long for car to get here i want some tinkering time so il take it next year or i might not ha -it dosnt bother me which side of the road ime on anyway - i have a left hand drive hymer- merc of course so ime used to it-i had a rhd 113 in 1990 rotten as a tin can so lhd is good & cheaper
Reg

Reggie,
great car, excellent price. You're one lucky S.O.B.... ;)
Now for something different. One reason some people find your posts hard to read is the absence of Capital letters. Try using the SHIFT key occasionally, at the start of sentences. You might want to experiment with .,? and ! if you're feeling brave! ;D
And, there's a SPELL CHECK button before you post a message... that also works pretty well.
Again.... I'm really jealous of your car!

Reggie, looks like you ended up with a very nice ride. To bring in the other thread on this color growing on you, it didn't have to grow on me, I think it's an awesome color. Congrats!!
Rolland

naj

thanks rolland - its nice to get good comments
Reg

thanks naj out of intrest how would you spell colour -color - and does it matter ? if you know what there on about -see me after school dixon ???
Reg

Hi, Reg,
I went to high school in the African colonies and Uni in the other colonies, so I know both of them ;D ;D
naj

Hey Naj - I couldnt wait to get out of school which is why i bunked off the last year- i come from a poor background you know first up best dressed - i didnt have the privelige of a good education-i type with one finger so i dont bother with capitals - i know to use them with names etc ime also dyslexic if thats how you spell it ha- so if you have trouble with my spelling try to work me out. It took me 4 hours to take and put them photos on here-I get great pleasure looking at other peoples photos so i was determined to do it-We must try to meet up one day seeing your on the same island as me
Reg

Hello Reggie,
Nice car and colour,
Is it a Californian ie no soft top?
-
Reg,
I think we are all drooling with a little envy ;)
Enjoy
-
Congrats!! Looks like you got yourself a winner!
Just curious about the interior color? What is it called? If there is a punch list I would add a passenger side mirror to it. Otherwise the car is an absolute stunner!
-
Colour, or color, it truly doesn't matter. The International nature of this group is what makes it so enjoyable.

Hi, Reg,
Join the MB UK Club and come to the national SL Day at Sandringham on August 8.
There are also regional get togethers and local events that you can enjoy.
http://www.mercedes-benz-club.co.uk/public/home.htm
Happy to have you here sharing your car and thoughts with us.
The group is International and most people understand what others are talking about. If in doubt, they ask, as you found out. ::) ::)
No worries?

It's a beautiful car, and the photos are very good indeed.
-
You are indeed one very lucky man to get a car like that sight unseen!
Please ignore the Grammar Police, anyone with a little patience can decipher your messages just fine.

THANKS STICK wind me right up some priveliged folk who pick holes in every thing like it matters - its the cars that are important - So ime working class but proud - Cant say too much either mr mod will pull the plug ;)
Reg

Congrats Reggie.
Beautiful specimen indeed. Good to see such a fine example in the hands of a true enthusiast.
May you have many pleasant km's in the years to come.

Reg

Reg,
You should be pleased. Great car. Welcome to the club.
Over time, you'll find many a "working man" in the group...I think the comments were only in jest.
Nice color - our...whatever.
Enjoy!

Not the comments by a certain mod-who pulled my reply off here.-one line about the car and a few lines about punctuation.
makes you want to not bother-but plenty of other people enjoyed the photos-so who cares ::)

Hauser int colour is 141 beige-only just found time to look at data card-I have 4 ? 2 pink 2 beige is that usual ?
Reg

Hi Reg,
Congratulations to your excellent purchase.
...-only just found time to look at data card-I have 4 ? 2 pink 2 beige is that usual ?
Reg
I am a great admirer of such kind of data and knowledge ... but I am unaware of 4 datacards. I have never seen that before.
I know of three (for the 250&280 SL) but four?
On your picture it appears as if the two pink ones are fully identical. Is this true?
Then - by accident - your car (delivery) was perhaps fitted with two identical ones. :D
Why not? ;)
Best,
Achim
-
HI Achim
You are correct both pink are the same- one of the beige ones has perforations almost like a bar code but not if you know what i mean ??? You have a keen eye

Reg
Reggie,
I'm sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way. I made the comment about punctuation in jest... as in another thread people had difficulty understanding your enthusiastic - stream of consciousness - posts.
I have not pulled any of your posts... I have reorganised and combined some of your different topic posts into one thread, so that they are easier to follow for you and others.
Keep posting. Keep sharing your enthusiasm.

Thank you Peter
It just reminded of school where i put in a lot of effort only to be told off for not trying. Being dyslexic is like watching a digital television that keeps breaking up-its there but you cant see it. I hated school and its made me try harder in life though. I got my revenge on the english teacher one day i was out in my Rolls Royce aged 27 when i saw said teacher at the bus stop so i stopped and said would you like a lift sir and drove off- il never forget the look on his face. See Yorkshire Evening Post front page - May 26th 1983. Anyway thats why my grammer is poor.I will try harder peter-it amazes me how people from another manage it
Reg

Reg,
I'm pleased we can put this behind us. I'm also pleased with your success. My daughter is dyslexic and I know how tough that can be.
About 25% of our readership/membership are not native English speakers and will appreciate everything we all do to make our posts more easily understood.
Peter
PS: I did look up the Yorkshire Evening Post but their website archive only goes back to 1990. You clearly started having succes too soon! :D

succes
;D
Sorry, couldn't resist!!

:-[ ... it is however the correct spelling in Dutch...

It will end when all of us have mastered Esperanto. 8)

Reg,
how is your lovely new motor?
Do you have any more pics whilst out and about?
It really is a beauty.

Hi Andy
I just got back off holiday yesterday morning-so ive had to talk to the wife for 2 weeks instead of my car-i keep nipping out in it since i got back- i love it-i read about peoples problems on here and think oh i must check this that and the other-but i believe my car is 100% spot on so ime going to drive it not dismantle it every 10 mins-i must say the gear change is a bit harsh sometimes but i remember my last one in 1990 was the same so il ignore that too. Ive joined the MB club so i can take it to meets but every thing is miles away-but i got a nice window sticker-so we may meet one day and compare notes.

Congratulations Reg on purchasing an exceptional LHD Pagoda, we did something similar 12 months ago from California which we will eventually use in my wife's country Switzerland.
You may not have graduated from high school but I have a sense you are an honours graduate from the "University of Hard Knocks", I had a similar upbringing, being from the wrong side of the track and blanket.
So you owned a "Roller" at 27, took me till 36 to own a Mercedes 600 see attached images, my English Teacher rode a 125 CC BSA Motor Cycle
Enjoy your Pagoda
