The WOW (Wizard on Wheels) SHOW

The WOW (Wizard on Wheels) SHOW

By Rudi le Roux

The Ronnies Motors Wizard on Wheels Show, or better known as the “WOW SHOW”, was held on the 2nd of July on a beautiful warm winter’s day in East London.

As per usual, the threepointed star dominated the show with more than 40 examples in attendance. The title sponsor was Ronnies Motors, our local Mercedes-Benz dealership, as such there was a strong mix of modern Mercs to add to all the older beauties on show.

The event was well supported by the local community as well as Eastern Cape club members and their families.

The oldest car from the threepointed star was Erald Hohls’ 1951 170Da, while the newest was a (locally built) W206 C-Class.

There was a lovely mix of coupes and roadsters, from beautiful W113 Pagodas through various examples of SL, SEC, CL, CLK and E-Class Cabriolet.

S-Classes also featured prominently with examples of the W111, W116, W126 and W220 series alongside a sublime new W223.

Lending some local flavour was a fleet of locally-assembled “Baby Benzes”, C-Classes, Pontons, Finny’s and /8’s.

All in all, one for the books, and a definite must for next year’s calendar. n
