Octane Magazine, Europe’s premier collectors' car magazine, recently published its “Smart Buys” for 2010 list. The list was intended to alert astute buyers of currently undervalued classics. Number one position was occupied by Ferrari’s 550 Maranello (no quibbling on this choice). The list went on and covered among others, Aston Martin’s V8 Virage, Porsche’s early 911 Turbos, but squeaking in at number 10 was the R107 SL. Hooray!
Including the often overlooked 1971-1989 SLs in this privileged group is long overdue. We’ve been touting this era of SL’s virtues for some years. These cars have caught the eye of Laurence Sayers Gillan of Barons auctions in UK: “Pagoda SLs have gone through the roof, but the next generation SLs bear a family kinship at very affordable prices.”Gillan likes the 300SL for its low cost of operation and capable handling.
What an interesting development; the old 107 SL taking its place among Europe’s exotica as the most affordable “Smart Buy” of the bunch. Don’t rush out and buy the first shiny one you see. Do your home work. Most of the cars offered for sale are horrible old cars with massive reconditioning costs looming. Do your homework and you won’t regret it.

We are gradually managing to replenish our depleted stock with some lovely cars now arriving, but the torrential rain lately has made it difficult to photograph them for the website. Of course it rained on St Swithin's Day, which legendarily portends 40 days of more rain, and we are a week into the North West hosepipe ban, so the chances of a fine spell look slim! If the photos of the newly arrived cars are a bit sparse for a short while we hope you will understand and bear with us.

July 2010
Regular visitors to this site will have noticed that we are very short of stock at the moment. After our best ever sales month in March we have been trying to regroup ever since, but sales have carried on at a very high level with many cars being sold even before they reach the website. Rest assured however that we have been very busy behind the scenes sourcing some lovely cars which will appear soon, so watch this space.

June 2010
We enjoyed taking our 1965 220SEb coupe on the Lancashire Automobile Club Manchester to Blackpool run on Sunday 13th June. This is an annual event which ran for the 48th time this year, and is a loosely pacenoted scenic route around the rural byways of Lancashire and a very pleasant way to get to Blackpool. Over 60 cars made the trip, including around 10 Mercedes, and one car which has made the trip every year for the last 48 years with the same driver! On arrival we were met by the Mayor of Blackpool and the cars were displayed in the newly rebuilt St Johns Square while we had a wander around the town. A great day out and highly recommended for next year. See more details at http://www.lancsautoclub.talktalk.net/vv.htm

We have just returned from our annual trip to the Techno Classica car show at Essen, where we travelled with the Mercedes-Benz Club and stayed at the hotel where the club has a block booking of all available rooms. As well as all the old faces we enjoyed meeting some new ones, and for anybody who has not visited this premier show, the largest in Europe, we can highly recommend it. The 1960s and 70s Mercedes cars which are considered quite rare in the UK are in abundance, and there are many 1930s, 40s and 50s cars which we just never see over here. Most are in better than new condition and the prices of those for sale bring a tear to the eye!

March 2010
March 2010 has been our best month ever, with some cars being sold before they even made it onto the website. The result is that we currently have very little stock left. Please be assured however that we have some superb cars in the pipeline, and as we have so few cars ready for sale it gives us more time to spend on sourcing and preparing new arrivals. Thank you to the customers who made March such a fantastic month.

March 2010
We had conclusive evidence recently, if any were needed, that the R107 SL (1971-1989) has now moved firmly into the uber-cool style icon territory previously occupied by its W113 Pagoda SL predecessor. Last week we had a very specific request from the publicity department of Diesel Aftershave to provide a black one for a filmshoot for their new TV commercial.
A crew of 35 descended on an area near the North Circular Road/M1 junction and spent 7 hours shooting what will probably result in about 10 seconds of film, with the car occupying centre stage.
The shots were dark and moody, taken at night under railway arches with a gorgeous actress behind the wheel wearing handcuffs and not much else, while an American Police car cruised past. This was one of a series of location shots which we won't see pieced together until the advert hits our screens, but the car was certainly the star and the actress wanted to take it home!

We are currently under five inches of snow here with everything iced up, so we can't valet cars or photograph them. Website updates will therefore be a bit sparse for the next few days. For the same reasons we are not able to offer viewings or test drives just now, so please bear with us until the weather improves. We are still manning the phones and email however, so do continue to contact us with your enquiries.

We're back from the show, buzzing but absolutely exhausted, after talking ourselves hoarse with so many of you who came to see us. Thanks to all of you who turned out, and especially to those who bought our cars. We must also say a special thank you to Mercedes-Benz Club members Mike Powell, Alan Cross, Janet Earnshaw, Chris and Gaynor Murphy, who all helped us ferry cars to and from the show, but especially Janet who proved a star performer with the polishing cloth as well. Having increased our stand size by almost 100% over last year we couldn't have managed without them.

May 2009
The weekend of 30/31st May saw the Mercedes-Benz Club stand appearing at the annual Tatton Park Classic Car Show near Knutsford, Cheshire. This is the flagship event of the North West region of the club and is one of the biggest shows in the country, with a vast turnout of old vehicles of all descriptions. The club stand alone had over fifty cars booked in each day (we know because Pete was "volunteered" for the task of marshalling them all on the stand as usual) and the weather was hot and sunny all weekend, with a great time enjoyed by all.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
April 2009
We're back from Essen where we have been making our annual pilgrimage to the Techno Classica Classic Motor Show, the biggest in Europe. It was great to catch up with old friends from the Mercedes-Benz Club and meet many new ones.
As usual the show was fantastic, with little or no sign of any recessionary slowdown. In fact the most noticeable thing was that asking prices for cars seem to have increased by around 15% from last year, even before any Pound/Euro fluctuations are considered. Price levels of classic Mercedes are around 33% higher than in the UK, so we must be thankful that our cars have the steering wheel on the other side or they would probably all have returned home by now!
One thing which is always apparent is the huge variety of Mercedes vehicles on display and for sale; much more than are ever seen in the UK. Most notable are the huge 1920s and 1930s roadsters which are absolutely magnificent of course, but also the more humble vehicles which are just as interesting in their own way. One which caught our eye in the outdoor sales enclosure was the beautifully restored early 1960s minibus shown below. We would surely have brought it home if it weren't for the asking price of 149,000 Euros!

December 2008
We are a little short of stock at the moment after a busy period over recent months and several cars sold at the Classic Motor Show, however we have some lovely cars on the way. As well as the ones listed as arriving shortly on the Cars for Sale page, we have in the pipeline a W123 280CE Coupe in Blue/Black metallic, a 190E 2.5 Cosworth in Smoke Silver, a 33,000 mile one owner 190E 2.0 in Silver, a brace of E220 cabriolets in Midnight Blue and Blue/Black, a 2000 low mileage SL280 in Obsidian Black and two superb W124 saloons; an E320 in Blue/Black and a 300E in Pine Green. Watch this space for details, or if you would like to be notified when any of them arrive just drop us an email to info@ccbenz.co.uk.
The 190E 2.5 Cosworth has been borrowed by AutoExpress Magazine to be the subject of an article in their 7 January issue, where it is being compared head to head with its current equivalent, the C63 AMG. We don't think there will be much competition in the outright performance stakes, but in the smiles per mile ratings we think the Cosworth will win hands down! Whenever we drive one of these beautifully balanced little racers we find ourselves beaming from ear to ear.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
November 2008
 We had a fantastically busy three days at the Classic Motor Show, and we thank all of you who came to see us; especially those who bought our cars! It seems that the effects of the credit crunch are quite variable as we sold more cars at this year's show than ever before, and most other dealers seemed to be achieving good sales as well.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
October 2008
We have exported classic Mercedes cars to several countries over the years, but we never thought we would be sending one to Germany! However this is exactly what has happened, as we have just returned from delivering a left hand drive 300SL-24 to Frau Gisele Putzier at her home near Berlin. Frau Putzier had been searching for a low mileage Mercedes SL for some time, and had been unable to find one with exactly the right specification in Germany. She viewed the car on our website, saw that it was exactly what she wanted, and is absolutely delighted with her purchase. The current Euro/Sterling exchange rate made the deal especially attractive.
We delivered the car personally and took the opportunity to spend a couple of days in Berlin, where Frau Putzier and her partner insisted that we stay with them and even showed us the city sights. We thank them for their great hospitality and wish Gisele many years of happy motoring.

No, we're not offering cheap air fares, we're talking about the economists' term for what to do with your money when 'paper' investments are looking shaky. At least two of our customers in recent weeks have invested in a classic Mercedes because they don't like the idea of leaving their money in a bank which may not be there next week, but they do like the idea of owning something which will not lose value and which they can enjoy.
Gold Eagle investment website (www.gold-eagle.com) puts it like this: "Tangibles owe nothing to anyone, as they are valuable in themselves, and require no faith in any government. Currently, silver is far below production cost, and gold at about cost, making them both outstanding flights to safety, thanks to the outrageous manipulations of governments and various financial houses. If you need things of interest, try antiques of all kinds, stamps, old cars, rare art, or whatever strikes your fancy, but anything in short supply and which is a literal tangible will do."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
September 2008
Apologies for the lack of updates during the last week or so, but we have just returned from holiday on the East Neuk of Fife in Scotland, highly recommended for a relaxing break and one of our favourite places in the UK.
We went in Ann's 1994 SL500, which took the 600 mile high speed return trip by storm and, with another 200 miles of pootling about when we got there, returned an average of 25mpg for the whole trip. We really love the style and pace of that car, and travelling in it made the holiday that bit more special.
It got us thinking about the practical side of fuel economy and motoring costs in general, and how we can sometimes unthinkingly stint ourselves to no good effect. We used £159 worth of fuel in total, and if we had taken a boring modern Eurobox instead, returning say 35mpg, it would have cost us £45 less, the price of a decent pub lunch for two. If we then factor in the crippling depreciation and higher road tax of the newer car we think the balance of overall economy is easily with the SL. We know which one we would prefer to be in! Don't take our word for it - do the sums yourself.
We are a bit low on stock at the moment, having had very good sales in the last couple of months. However we have some lovely cars coming in soon (see "Arriving Shortly" on the Cars for Sale page), so keep checking the website. If you would like to be notified when a particular model comes in, just drop us an email.

We love it when our customers use their classic Mercs as they were meant to be, and we couldn't resist showing you some pictures that Jonathan Morton sent us of him and his wife Deborah's recent 2,000 mile trip around France, Switzerland and Italy.
 At the top of the Grimsel Pass (2165m)
 Looking down from the Grimsel at Gletsch
 At the top of the Furka Pass (2431m)
Jonathan emailed enthusiastically: "I know you like to keep tabs on your ducklings, so you might be interested to see some photographs of the beast in action, now that we have at last got the hard top stored. My wife Deborah and I have just returned from a week's trip to the Italian lakes via France and Switzerland. You will not be surprised to know that the car did not miss a beat in 2,000 miles - or lose/use a drop of oil or water. We sailed over the Grimsel, Furka, St Gotthard and Simplon Passes as though they were not there, and kept up nicely with the moderns on the Autoroutes - where the cruise control really comes into its own. Even Deborah was impressed! The journey home wasn't quite so nice - we had the hood up all the way from the Simplon Pass home. But at least I can confirm that the hood is completely watertight."

June 2008
Several people have mentioned to us the new UK government proposals for increasing road tax (VED) on older larger engined cars, due to be implemented in 2009, and some are worried that it might affect their cherished classic Mercedes. Rest assured that it doesn't. The proposals only extend the highest rate of VED (until now applicable only to post 2006 cars) back to cars first registered from March 2001 onwards, so all of the classic Mercedes cars we love to own and drive are totally unaffected.
This makes a pre 2001 Mercedes even more of a sensible buy than it already was, as it is very unlikely that the CO2 based VED could ever be extended to pre 2001 cars. It was not a requirement for manufacturers to provide CO2 output figures for new cars until 2001, so if the government wanted to tax pre 2001 cars on CO2 emissions it would face an impossible task in collecting the required data. Furthermore, as time goes on, there will be less and less cars on the road from pre 2001, thus making it even less worthwhile to tighten the net.
Any pre March 2001 car with an engine over 1549cc (yes, that includes your 6 litre V12!) is currently taxed at £185 p.a. A comparable post March 2001 car is £400. From March 2009 these rates will be £200 and £440 respectively.

We made our annual trip to the Tatton Park Classic Car Show on Saturday and Sunday 31 May/1 June, where it was good to meet up with so many old friends on the Mercedes-Benz Club stand, and also several of our customers displaying their cars. The show gets more popular every year, and Pete was given the unenviable task of arranging the parking of around 50 members' cars each day in some sort of order.
Keith Girling was delighted to win the prize for Best Convertible on his first show with the E220 Cabriolet he purchased from us last year.

We ourselves showed our latest project for the first time. It is the first W123 ambulance ever built for the UK, delivered new to Guernsey in 1980. We purchased it from its original owners in February and have been having it restored since then. Many thanks are due to Chris and Gaynor Murphy and their team at Gratt Motor Company for pulling out all the stops to get it finished at 7pm on the night before the show. It is complete with all its original fittings and equipment and raised a few eyebrows when we arrived with blue light flashing and siren blaring!

April 2008 has already been our best month ever, and we're only half way through it! From the comments of our customers it seems that they are sitting tight on their property investment plans and awarding themselves smaller treats instead - and what treat could be more pleasurable than a classic Mercedes?
The increased sales do mean that our stock levels are a bit low just now, but rest assured that we have some lovely cars on the horizon, among them two W123s (coupe and estate), a timewarp one owner W115 saloon with tiny mileage, a W124 230TE estate, a W124 E320 Coupe and an R129 SL320. We also have three exceptional R107 300/420SL's on the way, including one with a very rare and desirable specification. Watch this space!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
March 2008
We will be making our customary pilgrimage to the Techno Classica Car Show at Essen, Germany from 26 to 30 March, so will be closed for business between those dates. As usual we are going with the Mercedes-Benz Club on their organised trip, and we hope to see many of you there.
This is a fantastic event, reputed to be the largest classic car show in Europe, and it naturally has a high Mercedes-Benz content. If you can't make it this time we strongly suggest you put it in the diary for next year.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
March 2008
For the second year in succession the 2008 budget has widened the taxation gap between older and newer large cars, and consolidated the benefits already given to users of larger engined older cars. Pre 2001 cars of over 1549cc have had their vehicle exise duty increased by a very modest £5 to £185, whereas comparable newer cars now pay anything upto £400, rising to £455 in 2009, dependent on their CO2 emission rating. An extra hammer blow for new car buyers is a swingeing £950 first year tax bill for the most polluting cars from 2010.
We like to think that the Chancellor is giving users of older cars credit for the fact that their cars cover less miles per annum on average than newer cars, and also that the longer a car lasts, the lower is the environmental cost per mile of the processes involved in its manufacture. In reality however the CO2 figures are not universally available for pre 2001 cars, and their reducing numbers on the road makes it simply not worthwhile having them calculated. It is most likely therefore that the flat rate for pre 2001 cars of over 1549cc will continue for many years to come, and will remain relatively low as it also applies to many smaller engined cars.
More than ever, drivers of classic Mercedes cars can couple their pleasure in driving something different from the herd with the certain knowledge that it is also a cost-effective option.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
January 2008
We're just back from a well earned week break in sunny Madeira after an extremely busy pre and post Christmas period. Of course we couldn't switch off completely and just had to chat to the taxi drivers in Funchal about their lovely W123 saloons, of which around 10 remain amongst a fleet which is about 90% Mercedes, also including many W124s and W201s.
The 300D pictured above (yes, that is yours truly at the wheel) is a 1983 model, still with its first owner, and has done 661,000 Km on its original engine and running gear, with everything looking remarkably straight and not a mark on the MB Tex interior. They truly do not make them like this any more!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
December 2007
When we started this business we expected it to be largely seasonal, with not much happening between November and February. How wrong we were! Each year you have amazed and delighted us by continuing to purchase cars at the same rate as in the Summer months, and we thank you for your enthusiasm for the three pointed star.
This December has been no exception, with cars rolling out of the door at a rapid rate despite the sub-zero temperatures; sometimes bought unseen and in many cases before they have even hit the website! We guess this is because most of you view classic Mercedes ownership as a long term thing, and when the right car comes up you will buy it, regardless of season.
Despite the hectic pace we have been out and about sourcing the very best cars from all over the UK, including the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. We have a mouthwatering selection of R107 and R129 SLs, W124 coupes and cabriolets and W123 coupes ready to show you in January, just as soon as we can find time to prepare them for sale and the weather is kind enough to let us photograph them. Several are ultra-low mileage and all are totally gorgeous. Please bear with us and watch this space.
We are open by appointment from 27 to 31 December, and as normal from 2 January onwards. The hosepipe may be frozen and the polish solid in its tin, but the kettle is always on!
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

November 2007
It hardly seems any time at all since we increased the size of our premises in March 2006, but we've outgrown them again! As a result we have taken on a new building in Mottram St Andrew about a mile from our existing site to display our cars for sale, but have retained our existing buildings for car storage and preparation. We are easier to find now, but you will still need to call for directions.
One effect of this expansion is that we are unlikely to fill all the newly available space for the forseeable future, so we can once again offer secure covered storage for your classic or prestige car (or boat, caravan, truck, bus, horsebox etc) at very competitive rates. See our Car Storage page for details.

15th August 2007
Many of our customers trade in recent model Mercedes and other makes to go back to the solid durability of the W124 E Class cars. Unfortunately in recent years they have become used to their cars having air conditioning, and the sad fact is that the majority of W124s left the factory without it.
To solve this problem we have recently secured from the original manufacturer a limited supply of the air conditioning kits which were regularly fitted by Mercedes-Benz dealers to the W124 models when they were new. We can therefore now offer a brand new air conditioning system on any of our W124 saloons, estates, coupes and cabriolets, fully fitted, for the much reduced price of £1,500 + VAT in addition to the purchase price.
The installation is almost indistinguishable from the factory fitted system, and has the bonus of all components (compressor, condensor, receiver/dryer, expansion valve, evaporator core, switches, brackets, valves and piping) being brand new and operating at peak efficiency.
Please ask for details.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
August 2007
Have you noticed that for the last year or so most of the car manufacturers, including Mercedes, have been painting their show cars and new release models white? See the front cover of the August issue of Mercedes Enthusiast magazine for proof. Sales of white cars have increased, and we too have noticed an increased demand. Let's face it; Mercedes cars look good in white. It shows the lines in crisp relief and provides a great background to the chrome. We currently have a shortage of white cars, so if you have a white one of the types that we supply and you would like to sell it, please get in touch.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
July 2007
This was the heading to a recent article in AutoCar Magazine. It went on to say: "The interior of the next Mercedes E Class will dump the curves of the current car in favour of a much more angular look similar to classic Mercedes saloons from the late 1980s." It showed exclusive spy shots which looked curiously familiar to us. We've always known that the 80s Mercs have style, but it seems that they're now the height of fashion too!

20th June 2007
We're just back from 10 days holiday in France, refreshed and looking forward to showing you several gorgeous cars we have coming in during the next week or so, particularly as we had record sales in May and early June, and many of the cars on the site are currently sold.
Apologies to anyone who tried to call us while we were away, after our answering machine decided it was full and stopped taking messages.
En route to the Sud Vendée region we stopped for a night at Chateau de Vauloge near Le Mans, where the only other guests were a trio of motoring journalists and photographer doing an article for Top Gear magazine based around the Le Mans 24 Hours circuit. As soon as introductions had been made around the large dining table it was obvious that a busman's holiday was to follow, especially when it transpired that one of them had not only been on our website, but had recently corresponded with us about a particular Mercedes he wants to buy!

Tatton Park Classic Car Show - 2nd & 3rd June 2007
We had a great couple of days with The Mercedes-Benz Club on the stand at Tatton on the weekend of 2nd and 3rd June. Pete was conscripted by Alan Cross to plan the parking layout and marshall approximately 40 cars on each day into some semblance of order, aided in his attempt to keep the members in line by a very authoritative-looking peaked cap and fluorescent jacket!
Two of our recent customers won concours prizes with their new cars. Brian Cross scooped best car on stand with his E220 cabriolet on Saturday and Geoff Keeling took best post-1990 car on Sunday with his E320 coupe. Well done both.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once again we will be hosting a visit by the North West section of the Mercedes-Benz Club, this Sunday the 20th May. After refreshments and a look round our cars, the assembled members will leave on a late morning tour of the Cheshire lanes in their cars, finishing up at the Windmill Hotel at Whiteley Green for lunch. Any members wishing to attend who have not already booked should contact regional organiser Alan Cross on 01204 363954. This will be the third such event we have hosted (twice for the NW region and once for the N Midlands), and we thank the members of the club for their interest in our operation.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We will be attending this enormous classic car show with the trip organised by the Mercedes-Benz Club from 29 March to 1 April. We look forward to meeting many friends there, old and new, and chatting about all things Mercedes.

Gordon Brown in his 21 March budget has given unexpected relief to users of large engined older cars. Pre 2001 cars of over 1549cc have had their vehicle exise duty increased by a very modest £5 to £180, whereas comparable post 2001 cars now pay anything upto £300, rising to £400 in 2008, dependent on their CO2 emission rating.
This means that (for example) a 2007 Mercedes CLK350 Coupe with a 3.5 litre engine will pay £300, whereas a 1996 Mercedes E320 Coupe with a 3.2 litre engine will only pay £180. Even more satisfying is that those of us with a penchant for 5 and 6 litre V8/V12 power in older Mercedes will still pay only £180!
We like to think that the Chancellor is giving users of older cars credit for the fact that their cars cover less miles per annum on average than newer cars, and also that the longer a car lasts, the lower is the environmental cost per mile of the processes involved in its manufacture. Maybe we're pushing his fiscal logic a bit far here - but thanks anyway Gordon!

Tim Slade from Mercedes Enthusiast magazine visited us recently to do a photo feature on our "as new" 1973 350SL roadster and our gorgeous S600 Coupe. Look out for the articles in the October 2006 issue.

On 3 September we hosted a gathering of the North-West section of the Mercedes-Benz Club. Members and their cars gathered at our premises from 10.00am for coffee, pastries and a wander around our cars. At about 11.30am we all departed for a pace-noted mystery tour and observation quiz around the Cheshire lanes, ending at the Sutton Hall Country House Hotel for a sumptuous lunch, where we presented a modest prize for the winners of the quiz. The weather stayed fine, despite threatening rain, and over 30 members attended, in around 17 cars. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it.

The April 2006 edition of Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine contains an informative article comparing the practicalities and costs of owning either a 5 year old current shape C Class saloon or an 11 year old E Class cabriolet as a main car. With both cars costing around the same money to buy, the laurels go to the cabriolet, principally because it is a thoroughly satisfying drive, well able to stand up to the stresses of present day motoring, whilst achieving near zero or even negative depreciation.
If you agree with their findings (needless to say we do) you will find a mouthwatering selection of no less than five E Class cabriolets on our Cars for Sale page.

We are pleased to announce that we have recently moved to larger premises near Prestbury, Macclesfield, where we can display even more lovely cars to our customers. Look on our Cars for Sale page to see them. Call us on 01625 260913 or 07980 241177 if you would like to view them.

Those of you who take the Telegraph on Saturdays will be familiar with motoring guru "Honest John" and his forthright views based on many years in the motor trade. He is a long term fan of the E Class cabriolet, and came out firmly behind it again in his January 28th column.
Faced with the problem of recommending a "car to enjoy" for a Mini Cooper and Motorbike driving enthusiast, he came up with a shortlist of a 2000 Mercedes SLK 320, 1997-1999 Porsche Boxster 2.5, 2000/2001 BMW Z3 3.0 and 1993-1996 Mercedes 320CE/E320 cabriolet. Needless to say, the cabriolet was the top choice. In his words: "A previous recommendation now holding its price very well. Stunning looking car….."
Have a look on our Cars for Sale page, where we have several of these fine cars available for immediate delivery.

Errr.... yes she looks (and sounds) like Tina Turner, but she's no lady! Crossdressing was the order of the day, for the entertainment at least, at the 13th annual MB Club Ball, held at Oulton Hall near Leeds.
