I bought my first Mercedes, an immaculate Signal Red 350SE with 16 inch AMG wheels at 23 years old. I loved the car and sold it when I bought my first house - a silly move, because the car I replaced it with was a dog. I always wanted a Mercedes coupe, but back in 1990 they were well out of my price range. Fast forward nearly twenty years and this one came up... a past students' father was selling it and I grabbed it. I didn't photograph much of the work I did on this car and only have a few pictures of it. My original Mercedes was sluggish to say the least and this was no different when it first arrived, but when all was sorted the revs didn't stop... the front would lift at about 3500 RPM and off she went! Another car that I sold then regretted.
