You could travel up the Blue Nile
with your finger, tracing the route
while Mrs Tilscher chanted the scenery.
Tana. Ethiopia. Khartoum. Aswân.
That for an hour, then a skittle of milk
and the chalky Pyramids rubbed into dust.
A window opened with a long pole.
The laugh of a bell swung by a running child.
This was better than home. Enthralling books.
The classroom glowed like a sweet shop.
Sugar paper. Coloured shapes. Brady and Hindley
faded, like the faint, uneasy smudge of a mistake.
Mrs Tilscher loved you. Some mornings, you found
she’d left a good gold star by your name.
The scent of a pencil slowly, carefully, shaved.
A xylophone’s nonsense heard from another form.
Over the Easter term, the inky tadpoles changed
from commas into exclamation marks. Three frogs
hopped in the playground, freed by a dunce,
followed by a line of kids, jumping and croaking
away from the lunch queue. A rough boy
told you how you were born. You kicked him, but stared
at your parents, appalled, when you got back home.
That feverish July, the air tasted of electricity.
A tangible alarm made you always untidy, hot,
fractious under the heavy, sexy sky. You asked her
how you were born and Mrs Tilscher smiled,
then turned away. Reports were handed out.
You ran through the gates, impatient to be grown,
as the sky split open into a thunderstorm.

Car and Driver remarked that the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 was ‘the greatest Mercedes ever built, deified because it struck a valiant blow in the name of performance’, and this particular car is perhaps one of the finest examples available.
Its odometer shows just 10,200 miles, believed to be original, and it presents in wonderful condition. Its hand-built M100 6.9-litre V-8 engine is devoid of any signs of prolonged use, and its unused spare wheel still with its label attached remains in the trunk. Options include a Becker Mexico AM/FM radio with cassette player, automatic climate control, heat-insulating glass, and an electric sunroof.
Delivered new to the United States and in particular California, as indicated by the ‘494’ option code, the car spent time in Massachusetts and New Mexico, as well as California, covering minimal mileage. More recently it was imported into the Netherlands in December 2015 by a Mr W Van Hamersveld before being acquired by its current owner in Switzerland in late 2016.
Truly one of Mercedes-Benz’s most remarkable sedans, any W116 450 SEL 6.9 is a joy to drive and enjoy, and this example would be no exception to the rule.

Arguably AMG’s most iconic vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL ‘Red Pig’ jump-started the small company’s rise to fame, leading to Mercedes-Benz’s eventual takeover of the tuning house roughly twenty years ago.
Modified at a customer’s request, AMG started with a damaged 300 SEL and turned it into an all-out racing machine. Boring the engine out to 6.8 litres, which produced 420 bhp, AMG fitted aluminium doors, widened the track, fitted larger tyres, and flared the wheel arches. Due to its ungainly proportions and red paintwork, the car was quickly nicknamed the ‘Red Pig’, but soon enough the car proved itself in the crucible of motorsport. At the 1971 24 Hours of Spa, the car won its class and finished 2nd overall, having started 5th on the grid.
While the original ‘Red Pig’ was eventually used in aircraft testing leading to its destruction, a handful of faithful replicas have been built, including one by Mercedes-Benz. This example started as an accident-free, 1969 model year 300 SEL 6.3 and was restored to a ‘Red Pig’ replica by the Mercedes-Benz specialists at Arthur Bechtel Classic Motors in Böblingen, Germany. Purchased by James Goo Kim, CEO of D.Parts of South Korea, directly from Arthur Bechtel, it has travelled less than 800 km since its conversion.
Location: Berlin - 176km from home.
This car can be frequently seen in Berlin, you can spot the emission sticker, too. Although the plate is indivualized, it doesn't give away any transparent meaning.

1991 - 1998
Die S-Klasse der Baureihe 140 ist 1991 der neue Mercedes der Superlative. Bei seiner Entwicklung haben die Ingenieure und Techniker auf maximalen Komfort gesetzt - unter anderem durch grosszügige Abmessungen und Doppelverglasung für eine optimierte akustische Dämmung. Auch diese Generation der S-Klasse führt eine bahnbrechende Sicherheits-Innovation in den Automobilbau ein : das seit 1995 verfügbare Elektronische Stabilitäts-Programm ESP. Das innovative System verringert durch gezielten Bremseingriff an einzelnen Rädern die Schleudergefahr in kritischen Fahrsituationen. Ende 1996 wird der Brems-Assistent BAS eingeführt, der bei Notbremsungen automatisch die maximale Bremskraftverstärkung aufbaut.
