We’ve decided on the 6 cylinders Mercedes 250 SL which is extremely reliable and superb to look it. (It’s actually a 280 …) Very stylish and a head turner; no not me, the car …

Heading off …

Taking it easy along the Promennade des Anglais, Nice. Feeling a million dollars right now.

Purrs like a kitten.

Stopped for a quick view back over the French Riviera, Cote d’Azur

Specifications : White/cream “Mercedes 050” color, “Hellroth” red leather interior, 2 seater, 1360 kilos, 6 cylinders in line 2,8 l engine (7 main bearings), 170 Bhp, 4 speed manual gearbox, assisted disc brakes all round, maximum speed : 200 km/h, “Pagoda” hard-top available on request…

Not too far before we reach Eze and other locations where films such as ‘To Catch a Thief’ with Grace Kelly (my idol) and Carry Grant were made with the fantastic car chase sequence.

Worthy of a stop and look around the magnificent gardens and coastal view.

Eze, France

Coming into Monaco, there’s a few tunnels along the way as Mont Agel is a mountain located on the border between France and Monaco

Monaco, known for its Formula One car racing.

We went for a ‘spin’ (shh don’t tell Fabrice) around the famous hair-pin bend which is right in front of the Fairmont Hotel which has absolute prime viewing.
