“Hello… yes, send it down. SLSHOP just called. 42 miles, Unregistered 500SL. Never seen a set of number plates. And they thought it deserved a holiday. I can’t argue with that.”
Neither can we.
In 1982, Mr Hough ordered a brand new 500SL, every optional extra, and never registered it. Never drove it. Just kept it, obsessively and perfectly, in a heated garage in Staffordshire for forty years. When it came to us, we kept the promise he started.
Now it’s on The Brentford Riviera. Four weeks at go and see it.
