Red Mercedes

I think that the car featured in the photographs today is a Mercedes Benz 190 SL. I have worked this out by my usual detective pathway of looking at pictures online until I find one that appears t match. This means that I could be wrong about the model – sometimes there are subtle differences only apparent to an enthusiast (something which I am not). But, while not a car enthusiast, I do think they can make fine subjects for a picture of two, as usually becomes apparent around this time each year when I visit vintage rallies on the hunt for such things and subsequently flood my blog with the results.

  1. I’m also not a car enthusiast, but do like taking pics of old cars from time to time. There’s a guy down the street who restores old Studebakers (American maker active until the mid-60s) and they always make good subjects, esp. for testing new-to-me cameraas.

    1. Just down the street from where I now live there used to be a big Trans-Am parked. It was there for years and, living in the UK, something of an unusual sight. Of course, now I’m interested in photographing such things it’s no longer there… 😀
