60th celebration of the 190SL at Mercedes-Benz World, Brooklands

On the 24th May the Mercedes-Benz Club in the UK held a great celebration of the 190SL at Mercedes-Benz World.  Unfortunately our car, whilst MOT'd, still isn't through the registration process in the UK so didn't make it.  It was great to be there and see 41 190SLs lined up and then taking to the track for display driving. (plus one inside the building).
There were some great cars there including a fantastic one from Switzerland which had unfortunately met with an accident.  Additionally there were owners from France and Singapore present with their cars as well.
Laurent Nay, who has recently started producing excellent copies of the Karl Baisch style 3 or 5 piece luggage sets for the 190SL was over from France demonstrating his cases which were absolutely great.  I will ask the 60th Birthday present fairy to start saving up for a set!

Here are a few photos from the event.
