Follow us onWhat are you driving/riding and why?
I drive a beautiful 1984 Mercedes-Benz SEC 500 that I call ‘Nightfury”. It’s elegant, drives effortlessly and has airmatic suspension so I use it daily. I’ve also got a 1936 Mercedes 170V that was showcased at MBCCR 2022. I also ride a 1975 BMW R75/6. It’s got a boxer twin engine that’s been upgraded with forged pistons and connecting rods and is a hoot to ride.
What’s next on your wish list?
A 1968 Porsche 911.
