R129 Official Picture thread!

We used to have one. It was wiped out when the forum went down.

Just pictures and short acknowledgment comments.

If you agree then post your favorite pictures.

Unfortunately, I need to figure out how to post pictures again.

Maybe the monitors could “sticky” the thread.

ulysses brown.

Your chrome wheels pick up the curves of the AMG Sport body trim and relate nicely to the vents behind the front wheels.

What a great looking car. Congratualtions.

Just got this car last summer, in storage all winter now.
40,000 miles all original except 18" rims, 8.0 frt, 9.5 rear,
clear side lamps.
I am starting to see some small cracks in the rear soft top
panels. Will replace this spring, hoping to put tinted poly
to replace clear. Anyone out there done this before?
Seems like a nice addition, and maybe less cost than replacing the whole
top, which looks like new still?

Was It Planned or...?

Hi B4MMY/Chris:

You have a beautiful car and family. I just have to ask if you planned the "Drive Slowly" sign in your photo or was it coincidence? Pretty neat either way.

Thanks, Will
