Mercedes 190D Ponton
Another blast from the past, a Ponton I purchased when 14. I kept the car for over 20 years until sold it in desparate need for cash...
It was the most comfortable car I've ever had...At least that's how I want to remember it.

Hans Baumaster Hah! In retrospective, I probably should have bought that jaguar XK120 my Uncle offered me for 350$ in the early 70’s. It was an original runner with the usual battle scratches and proudly wearing its curb-side paint job.

Hans Baumaster But...I was stupid enough to turn it down due to excessive habit of burning oil and knocking engine…You live you learn they say…

80's Photo Shoot
Putting things into perspective.
It the 80’s it seemed ADs/photographers at classic car magazines, particularly German, were obsessed with photo shoots on autumn fields. To honour the period we went out with our little harvester in attempt to recreate one of those shoots.
