Distinguished Gentlemen in their 230SL
« on: October 12, 2022, 17:22:41 »
This is my son and I, driving out at 7:20am to take part in the Distinguished Gentleman's Drive for charity on 25th September.  And then parked up at the start near Waterloo, London.

Oooh
Didn’t know there was a drive. I’ve a mate done the Distinguished Gents Ride but the car could be fun.
Also a decent coffee in The Cut

Glad to see you’ve got a youngster engaged in the sport!   If collecting/preserving/restoring cars is ever going to survive, it’ll be through the interest of the next generation of stewardship.

I'll post the date of next year's drive when it gets announced.  The London Drive was hosted by Waterloo Classics https://waterlooclassics.com/
