Happy Aneversary to my Blue Tornado
« on: December 18, 2018, 17:10:30 »
All I know is that my 280 SL rolled off the assembly line in December 1968. So since it was impossible to actually find out on what date I simply picked a mid week day from the 1968 December Calender :)

So Happy Aneversary (December 18, 1968) to you my Blue Tornado ... and many more

50 years young. Your SL looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Congratulations to you (and your Pagoda) for this great milestone.
