Yes it was.
Spent a great evening got so carried away I thought I was still at the PCS GTG with the familiar faces so ordered a drink and promptly walked away hastily followed by bar staff explaining you had to pay for the drinks
I explained to them that I couldn't make Ollie's GTG and asked them to send him the bill, but that didn't work either! Hope to catch you next time.
You know it's a good meet when you feel a bit of a wimp in standard SL500!!

Some lovely vintage cars there. Nice to see the oldies out and about. Never seen one up here.

Looks like it was a great meet! Some familiar faces from Olly's GTG too.
Is "WTF" the S124 we were being treated to little teasing glimpses of at Olly's the other week? (Sorry to say I don't know the guy's name, but he was giving us little peeps of the work in progress on his mobile.)

I believe it started life as a W111 coupé and the owner did the conversion himself.

I wouldn't be able to tell if it was original or not, having never been that close to one before, but it looks pretty good for a home conversion to me.
is it built on a chassy or would he have had to strengthen the floor?

it was indeed, towards the end of the evening.
I didnt know who was who
, but recognised billy's car from the pictures of his rims you posted on your thread from the MB club meet earlier this month. I then just hung around it until the owner appeared and accused him of being Billy.

Dinoy, a forum member here spotted that straight away. Mentioned that it didn't look original, makes sense now.

Yes he did and there was me thinking it was original
I didn't really have a good look at it, but the rear view is a giveaway with the
window and external hinges on the boot. I did think that the roof had a deeper appearance from the front, but well done, nonetheless.
Dash, I'll get me a chauffeur next time!
