[QUOTE="mafioso, post: 33291, member: 572"] Agreed! A Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing with Bosch mechanical 'einspritzen' sure is drop-dead beautiful. In the hands of Stirling Moss and other race drivers of yore, they were unbeatable until a catastrophic Grand Prix crash. Long ago, I had the great privilege to work in close proximity to a black one with red leather seats. This car is still around, I think - and in those days, often visited the then HQ of a Mercedes Benz dealer on Riebeeck Square in Cape Town. My own wheels at the time was a Triumph TR3A in British Racing Green and a newish Renault (R8) Gordini in French Racing Blue. Dinky toys compared to the Merc., which regularly lifted floor tiles or paint when moved under power. I can still smell the carnauba'ed leather and feel the spindly little floorshift with its round knob... ;D mafioso [/QUOTE]
