“The Cobra in the Barn: Great Stories of Automotive Archeology” was a book published in 2005 by Tom Cotter, which met with moderate success among classic car enthusiasts: it would certainly have included this 300SL if it had been resurrected 15 years before. Seeing the photos of the ad surprised us: first of all because… Read More Vintage dust: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster

The film shows an eight-minute drive through Paris in the early hours of the morning (05:30 hrs) in August 1976, accompanied by sounds of a high-revving engine, gear changes and squealing tires. It starts in a tunnel of the Paris Périphérique at Porte Dauphine, with an on-board view from an unseen car exiting up on… Read More C’était un rendez-vous
This Mercedes was, back then, the top notch car that money could buy, if you were looking for a four door car. Indeed it was extremely expensive: it wa sone of the favourite car of the Formula one drivers of the late sixties: a 6.3 litre V8 engine producing 250 hp and a ton of torque… Read More Muscles in disguise: 1969 Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3
