May 6th 2009:
Spanning Three Centuries

view map

I didn't realise after I took this picture today that both Mercedes-Benz and Royal Enfield are brands that started out in the 19th Century and continue in production in the 21st.


The Mercedes is usually parked in this spot and I photographed it back in 2006 HERE. And if you want to swat up on motor bikes, check out the Royal Enfield page on Wikipedia HERE.

Ripley, Surrey, 6th May 2009.

Oh nice! Modern switch gear and disk brake give the (lack of) age of the Royal Enfield away. Still nice tho. And I love those Merc SLs!
