Not really my spot but while watching Supercar YouTube videos, I happened to see an elegant couple arriving at the Monte-Carlo Casino in a beautiful black 280SL with tan upholstery. I did three screen captures but didn’t post them because of copyright laws, to remain discrete for the benefit of the occupants of the car (in case they weren’t a couple) and because the plate numbers were legible on both ends of the car. It reminded me of the evening my wife and I spent at that venue for dinner at the sidewalk cafe beside the Casino, watching high rollers gamble after dinner and watching the elegant gamblers arrive in their supercars. That was in 2000.
I don’t know when the video was filmed. I wish we had had our Pagoda with us at that time. I always wanted to tour Europe in it, but never did.
If the occupants of that black 280SL want to save their memories of the evening, if they are members of the Pagoda group, then searching the title of this post is the same as the name of the video for searching YouTube. They will find their arrival about two minutes from the video’s end. At that point in the video, the screen’s caption is MonocoLuxury 13 and the video time marker will be 17:37 out of a total length of 20:00.

PS: I just realized that the car is registered in Italy. It has the little orange front side markers like mine does, and after checking the plates in my photo files, I see an. « I » on the rear plate.
