How long have you had it? I’ve had it a year or so.
What attracted you to it in the first place? I was attracted to it as it still encapsulates a Gentlemen’s express; power with grace and just a tad excessive without being too flashy.
What do you like most about it? I waft around perfectly relaxed
What do you like least? I wish it had a proper Mercedes bonnet mascot
What’s the most surprising thing about your car? It can transform from a relaxed cruiser into a guided missile by pressing two buttons, the sport button on the gear box and the sport setting on the active body control.
What was your most memorable drive or ‘special motoring moment’?
Where was it: Paris
When was it: 2002
Why was it special: I had just taken delivery of a brand new BMW 330 convertible and it’s first test was to pick up two Finnish friends in Paris and drive them to San Sebastian in Northern Spain.
What do you remember most : French men looking at the black convertible with two luscious blondes inside.. and a rather smug looking Englishman. How many times did I hear Mon Dieu!
Who was with you: Helga and Eva
What word sums up the moment for you:Lucky
What would make it even better a second time around: Same cities, same girls but a classic Mercedes Cabriolet 280SE 3.5.
