Pre transport pictures

Here are a couple of shots of the car before shipping and also in the covered transporter on the way to Houston.  It is wearing its hardtop for the first time in 10 years.  Currently the hardtop is unrestored and in the silver finish that the whole car was sprayed in when I bought it.  I will eventually restore the hardtop and return it to black.  It needs totally stripping, repaint, re-chrome, new rubbers and headlining plus some work to straighten out its alignment to the body.  No rush to do this at present. The car has cleared customs and is now waiting to be containerised and shipped.

On the way home to the UK

The car left Dallas today on its way to be shipped home to the UK via Houston. Should be home and registered well in time for the 60th celebrations at Mercedes-Benz World, Brooklands.  More updates to follow.
