Post by: Rodolfo on March 25, 2014, 20:00:12

Hi,

last year I saw some people at Essen, I was there together with Erik Van der Cruysse.
This Saturday I will go to Essen with Natasha.

Somebody else attending the show on Saturday?

best regards, Rudy

I notice I mentioned Natasha. So I think I should show who is Natasha. It is the person next to the 230 sl.

regards, Rudy

"Bratwurst mit senf" is part of the couleur locale. You cannot go to a fair in Germany without that. Maybe with a weissbier next to it, of course.

There is one in Barn type shape ... I for one would not attempt to restore it :D

Below is the translation of the opening text (by Google translator not always perfect)

Europe's largest trade fair for classic automobiles was opened on Wednesday by 14 clock .
In a tour of the exhibition on 28 March is me noticed the rather high price level of dealer booths.

For around 100,000 each , - € I had a top -looking Mercedes -Benz W100 or VW T1Bus can buy. I bought the event, none of the two: The Mercedes 600 would not fit in our garage that had not got a Volkswagen Bus Automatic for all the money ;-)

Mercedes -Benz had presented in Hall 2, more than 30 racing cars on a high shelf. It was after all, to celebrate 120 years Mercedes motorsport history .

Of course, the Mercedes -Benz SL PAGODA Club Club stand was to be found in Hall 2 . After the two gems in the last year , the pagodas No . 1 and No.14 , was a strongly entrained by a garage fire 230SL the focus of numerous audience this time .
Also our club shop was very busy again this year. Parts, tools , Winschott very many of our technical maintenance and repair manuals sold over the counter .

The technical documentation we sell for years for 5, - € , buyers have reported that these articles on the internet for 15, - € and more are sold. Well, he prefers equal to the SL Club Pagoda.
