Hiring a 1960s Mercedes 190sl for my dad

[MPETT]

Hi,
Does anyone know a company who has and hires a 1960s/early 19070s Merc 190sl for a half day/day? (in the Midlands ideally)

I'm looking to get my day a birthday treat/experience.

My dad once owned a 190sl but sold it to have me and my sister. I'd like to offer him the chance to experience his youth again and drive his dream car again.

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome!

Cheers,
Martin

Might be worthwhile contacting the SL Shop, especially as they are also Midlands based?

Don't believe the SL Shop go earlier than Pagoda.

190SL is the 50s/60s model right? Imagine the days of hiring one (like a Dino) are long gone but worth a shout.

BTW - its my favorite car of all time. Red over Cream simply stunning.

I’ve seen a couple of the 190SLs in there whilst my car was being recommissioned. Agree they are a wonderful looking car.

(BUMP)

Any owners out there feeling charitable? Unfortunately my dad's health has taken a turn for the worse and is undergoing chemo. Would be great to find someone with a 190sl and a few hours spare to take him for a quick spin!?

Cheers,

Martin
