If you need an AMG shift knob, Digitaldrew can hook you up. I think his is the same vintage.

IMO the best looking Benz ever Attachment 476432 just sitting on a random industrial street
Gullwing or gtfo
Not the priciest but I’m a fan of the 220SE/280SE

I always liked the look of this Merc, but it was prone to leaving the ground a lot.

Maybe the ‘Uhlenhaut’ version does it for you then?

Look at those fucking pipes.
I bet that thing was loud.
We've been over this before... in this thread.
I've seen 300SLRs run a couple of times at Goodwood and stood next to 722 in the paddock as Stirling Moss got onboard and fired it into life.Quote:
In spite of its name and strong resemblance to both the streamlined 1952 W194 Le Mans racer, and the iconic 1954 300SL Gullwing road car it spawned, 1955 300 SLR was not derived from either. Instead, it was based on the wildly successful 2.5-litre straight-eight-powered 1954–1955 Mercedes-Benz W196 Formula One champion, with the engine, enlarged to 3.0 litres for the sports car racing circuit and designated "SL-R" for Sport Leicht-Rennen (eng: Sport Light-Racing). All were the work of Daimler-Benz's design chief Rudolf Uhlenhaut.
Possibly the most beautiful sounding cars ever.

Fair enough. SLR is not actually a version of the SL. It still looks way better than a Pagoda.

second place is the 300sl convertible with a ski rack
Meh, whatever. I also prefer the E Type FHC over the convertible.
I think you're possibly confusing the flipping CLRs with the earlier Sauber Mercedes sports cars
