1938 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A by Sindelfingen
$1,132,500 USD | Sold
From Sotheby's:
One of the third series of 540 K Cabriolet As, the example offered here, chassis number 189391, is especially desirable for having been ordered without sidemounted spares, an unusual feature for this generation of the style. The result had an especially clean, tailored air, with smooth, rounded lines that hint at French coachbuilding and, more pointedly, the famed fastback Autobahnkurier on the same model.
According to its Kommission sheet, a copy of which is on file, this car was ordered by the British Mercedes-Benz agency; their records indicate that the order was on behalf of a Mr. Manson, and registered as FLC 217. From early photos, it appears that this may have been one of the rare examples built without the spare tires mounted in the fenders. Historian Ronald Johnson noted that the car, having apparently remained in England through the war, was then acquired in 1951 by Peter Ustinov, the multiple award-winning British actor, filmmaker, writer, and renowned raconteur. When not working with the camera or socializing, Mr. Ustinov an avid motoring enthusiast who enjoyed many fine and unusual performance automobiles, including examples of Alfa Romeo, Delage, and an S-series Mercedes-Benz. According to the Johnson records, Mr. Ustinov sold his 540 K in 1953. The transaction was likely through the dealers Simmons of Mayfair, which advertised the car around this time in Motor Sport magazine.
In July 1953 the 540 K was acquired from Simmons by Ralph Buckley of Absecon, New Jersey. Mr. Buckley was one of the pioneers of the American antique automobile hobby, maintaining a highly respected restoration shop that made a specialty of Brass automobiles and worked on them for some of the earliest, most prominent collectors. His name appears frequently in the books of Ralph Stein, one of his clients, and he is still especially well-remembered as an expert in the famed T-head Mercer. A photograph on file, courtesy of the Simeone Foundation Automobile Museum, shows the 540 K in the US in 1953, wearing an early New Jersey license plate and thus likely in Mr. Buckley’s ownership.
From Mr. Buckley the Cabriolet A made its way to California and into the ownership of John Bond, the longtime publisher of Road & Track magazine and an immensely influential figure in the American automotive press. He was one of the first automotive magazine editors to institute strenuous long-term road tests of new models and was famed for his strongly held, occasionally controversial viewpoints. Mr. Bond maintained a small, well-chosen collection of his own cars at his clifftop home in Fallbrook. In 1977 he met fellow enthusiast Jim Wilson of Hermosa Beach, who visited the Bond residence and, smitten with the 540 K, soon arranged its acquisition. In a letter on file, Mr. Wilson recalled the car as being very complete, with no indication of restoration work aside from a repaint.
Mr. Wilson spent the next five years undertaking a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration, with several photographs on file showing progression of the work. In 1983, he and his wife exhibited the finished Cabriolet A at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, winning 3rd in Class. Several years later he sold the car, along with a second 540 K, to Richard Wesselink, who passed both to Manfredo Lippmann of Guatemala. A passionate automobile enthusiast, Mr. Lippmann’s love of Mercedes-Benzes led him to become probably South America’s greatest and most avid collector of the company’s products—as well as, at one point, the Guatemalan importer! He would eventually acquire numerous important examples, including several significant supercharged cars.
As presented today, the Wilson restoration remains largely well-preserved, with the deep claret finish in very good overall condition, and the tan leather interior showing only minor stretching and age. The original late-style skirting of the front fenders seen in early photos appears to have been lightly modified to have more of a subtle curve, similar to earlier 540 K styles, and sidemounted spares were fitted. The restoration boasts several satisfyingly authentic touches throughout, such as the original body number suffix “205” stamped into the hood hinge, and the original chassis and engine number stampings are still present as well. Overall, the restoration is still highly appealing, and the car would make an excellent 540 K to drive and enjoy following servicing.
Boasting a fine history with highly interesting, notable figures and a restoration still in largely good order, this is a wonderful example of the third-series Cabriolet A, offering superb engineering and streamlined beauty in equally abundant measure.

We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
Something will always be, just the same, like a dog walker walking in the changeable weather on the beach
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Eastern Whipbird (pretty sure this is the female. Male and female were together and this one's call was as per the female below. It did not have a long tail as per the field guides. ...unless it's an immature?)
Scientific Name: Psophodes olivaceus
Description: Adult Eastern Whipbirds are mostly dark olive-green above, with a long tail, and a grey-white belly. The head and breast are black, with a broad white patch on the side of the face and a black crest. The eye is pale cream and the bill is black. Young whip birds are generally duller, with a smaller crest. The white cheek patch is absent in very young birds, and increases in size as the birds mature.
Similar species: Eastern Whipbirds are hard to confuse with any other Australian bird. The much rarer Western Whipbird, Psophodes nigrogularis, of southern and south-western Australia, has an olive-brown crest and a smaller white face patch. It is also smaller, measuring 22 to 24 cm.
Distribution: The range of the Eastern Whipbird is from northern Queensland to Victoria along the coastal band of eastern Australia.
Habitat: Eastern Whipbirds live in wet habitats, including rainforest, eucalypt forest and dense scrub near watercourses, in dense vegetation near the ground. The birds are secretive, but can be curious, and will be seen if the observer remains patient.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary; The birds remain in the same area all year round.
Feeding: The Eastern Whipbird feeds on insects and other small invertebrates, which are caught on the ground by bill. Feeding takes place alone, in pairs or in small family groups.
Breeding: A breeding pair of Eastern Whipbirds occupies a territory, which is defended year round, with the mates staying together for many years. The female makes a cup nest of sticks and bark, which is lined with finer grasses, and placed in dense vegetation near the ground. The female also incubates the eggs. The young birds are fed by both parents. Sometimes two broods are raised in a single season.
Calls: The Whipbirds' long whip call, one of the most characteristic sounds of the Australian bush, is performed as a duet. The male makes the drawn out whip crack and the female usually follows quickly with a sharp "choo-choo".
Minimum Size: 26cm
Maximum Size: 30cm
Average size: 28cm
Average weight: 56g
Breeding season: July to December
Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 12 days

New motherboard on left, old motherboard on right. The new one is narrower, that's for sure. I wish I could have gotten my same motherboard again, but Asus is now out of business. The foundation of every PC I've built in the past 15 yrs is now built on the questionable new ground of a company I'd never heard of before basing my whole computing livelihood on them: ASRock. Name sounds like "Ass Rock". But this was the ONE "normal"-priced motherboard that had what I needed (specifically, optical digital output on the motherboard, 6 SATA ports; I lost my 3rd feature of multiple built-in ethernet jacks, which will suck next time somebody drives into our telephone pole).
I like how boards aren't all green nowadays. I have green, red, blue, and now this dark brown, almost black motherboard.
By the way, my cooling fan is an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, which is the 3rd fan employed on my old motherboard after the cat hair took out the first two fans. Do NOT buy the Scythe Shurican SCSK-1100 100mm CPU cooler fan. It is a waste of $40 and only survived 30 days with the cat hair. (It was fan #2. The one that came with our old motherboard lasted several years.)

BACKSTORY: Clint's motherboard from October of 2007 died, as well as his power supply, so he had to buy a new one (and new memory). About $300. Major pain in the ass. Carolyn's computer served as a suitable backup, however: It had an HDMI port for us to watch video on the big TV, and an optical-digital output for *clean* music playing on the stereo.

3D Cross view- To view, sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. It should pop into 3D depth. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Roughly the same principal as viewing Magic Eye. Stop if it's uncomfortable.

"Every Day Is Exactly The Same"
I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around
Oh, no
[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end
[Chorus]
I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do
[Chorus x2]

The is a photograph from the third running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") which was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 13th September 2014 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The event has grown from just over 600 in 2012, to over 900 in 2013 with around the same number finishing in 2014. Entry to the race closed weeks in advance.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the start and finish of "The Flatline" 2014. The URL of the main set is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647516503901. This photoset contains photographs of the start (at the 600 meter mark) and then of the finish (at the 400 meter mark to go) up to a finish time of about 1:45.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 850 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost too warm for running which is a very rare complaint in Ireland. The runners were bathed in hot September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a cooling.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
With the recent increase in the water level at Summer Leys the great white egret(s) have had to investigate new feeding areas. Having seen a great white egret fishing close to one of the hides the day before (unfortunately whilst I was in a different hide) when I saw it fly to the same place again the following day that I knew I had to move to that hide. I waited patiently as the egret moved closer and closer along the reedbed towards the hide hoping that no one would come into the hide and disturb the bird. Thankfully nothing disturbed it and I was able to take lots of photos.
