1971 Mercedes 280 SE (1)
Built in South Africa, Will imported this 1971 Merc five years ago, having found it in a supermarket car park near Johannesburg, where it was someone’s daily driver. It was dented and tatty but rust free. A Romano LPG injection kit was Will’s first investment (fitted by Jess Court 01303 230055) – allowing him to use the car every day. But after 18 months it was clear that, having lived in an area where it rains for around six weeks a year, the poor old Merc wasn’t enjoying the British climate much. PPC regular Mike Coman came to the rescue by arranging for his students at Leeds College of Technology to respray the car.
