Whitlam's 450SEL

This car has been mentioned in other threads , but some might like to see this cutting of the "let them eat cake" genre beloved of many pollies.

Where is the big fella's ride now I wonder? Probably flipped for a profit , given the generous purchase discount!

I can tell you I once did Chauffeur work with W126's.
We did some government work when the "White Taxis" were busy or unavailable.

Some of mr whitlams comrades refused to get into my Benz - they would rather wait in the rain for a Turd LTD.
Many of these comrades were very high profile.
As a corollary it was very informative on who was playing the game of hide the sausage.

I think you will find John Green pulled these cars apart - under the watchful eyes of some spooks.

One Canberra club member has the radiator in his car.
