Title: PLAYBOY 1969 - 280 SL Test
Post by: ZwoachtzigSL on July 08, 2005, 01:18:15

Hello Pagodinos.


A test report on the 280 SL has been published in the playboy in 1969.

Who can say to me, in which number or month? I will complete my press-achive so soon as possible.


Detlef,

I came across this on Ebay a few years ago and bought the complete issue. Actually there are a lot of ads in that magazine for all kinds of sporty cars, it's a lot of fun to browse through for that reason (...)

Hello Cees.

In the June-No. there is only a article over the 24 Hours Race in Le Mans. Is it possible that you give me a wrong issue?

Well I am not sure! I took out the pages about the SL and put these in my separate SL file, I was wondering about this myself. At least I am sure there is the two-page color ad, showing the red Pagoda and a 300 SL in the background, sunset time I believe.
