What is nicer than buying a spotless, low mile R129, waiting 10 days and then you dare push the spotless button on the spotless dash to see what happens?

I'll tell you what is better, the roof mechanism worked perfectly and a shiny new 17 year old silver top pops out.

I was prepared to be a little upset if it had been black, only triple silvers I have seen are the silver arrows.

YeeeeeeeeeHaaaawwwww

jlbsam

this is meaningless without pictures

Real Silver Arrows are not triple silver - they have black soft tops.

Chain, check
Pulled, check

A silver rag top would probably incapacitate me, if I looked at it for more than a few seconds at a time.

Well hello Ghana,

Previous rag tops, black top Z11 (google Z11) with hugger orange delete black stripes/interior and a white rag top 95 T/A limited showroom white on white with blood red leather and black trim on the interior. Parties on wheels.

Silver blows them away

Would not trade the 129 for both of them

Merc Mania

Ernest I must confess that I am on a self-assigned quest to push for global legislation that would outlaw ALL chrome, and silver canvas tops on convertibles, but I concede that this is an uphill battle with no victory assured.

That said, a picture of this silver top convertible cover on your car MAY cause me to abandon my crusade and grudgingly accept defeat.

Let no man ever accuse Merc Mania of not mastering ironic literature.

After I clean 17 years of home garage dust, pictures you will get.
