Karl’s 1958 Mercedes Ponton 220S was a showstopper that exceeded all expectations. Mr Koos, the driver, was humble, kind, and made the experience truly special. He treated my daughter like royalty on her matric dance night, 2nd October 2025. A flawless service that added timeless elegance to the day
