A pretty Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 roadster, seen in 2014 in Beijing, capital of China. The coolest thing first: the 京E·60000 license plate. I can’t remember ever seeing another car in China with four zero’s behind the first number. truly unique plate on a relatively rare car.

A brilliantly beautiful W140 Mercedes-Benz S600 SEL sedan, seen on a car market in east Beijing in 2017. The most striking element of the big Mercedes was its light green color, a very unusual shade for the S-Class. It also had very old black 京A·01688 license plates.

On a cold and snowy day in late December 2019 I drove into Hebei Province, to the east of the Chinese capital Beijing. I was looking for a shop with all sorts of cool cars. Sadly, that shop was closed and gone. This happens all the time in China so I walked around the area. Just a little further down the road I found a fantastic collection of 1990’s Mercedes-Benz cars, all painted in the same shade of black.

A very pretty McLaren 650S 3.8T Coupe, seen in the Sanlitun area in Beijing in 2022 by Friend of the Site Joachim, thank you for the picture! The good McLaren is wrapped, from head to toe, in a pink wrap, and further sexed up with darkened windows and black alloy wheels. The wrap appears to be of top quality and contrasts nicely with the black bits.
There are Hello Kitty ears on the roof and a bunch of stuffed animals on the dash top, including a panda. And check the hand on the wheel, that’s a little lady driving! No surprise, really, considering the car’s color and details.
The McLaren 650S super car was made from 2014 until 2017. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8 liter V8 engine with an output of 650 hp and 678 Nm. The motor was mated to a 7-speed DCT, sending horses to the rear wheels. Top speed is 333 kilometers per hour and 0-100 takes only three pink seconds. Price in China (2014) started at 3.75 million yuan. A wrap of this quality costs at least another 10.000. Well, if it makes her happy…
