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 just sitting on a random industrial street

You're kicking a Pagoda out of bed? WTF?!!!

[J. Barron DeJong]

Gullwing or gtfo

Seriously. How is this even up for debate?

[Art Shirk]

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.

Nah they tried too hard with that. The 280 is clean and simple, no gimmicks with a lot less chrome and stainless trim.

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

We've been over this before... in this thread.

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.

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.

Possibly the most beautiful sounding cars ever.

I think it helps to go over things a few times as folks here have the memory of a goldfish.

[J. Barron DeJong]

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

[dunfree]

The Porsche designed SSK, this one with a body by touring


second place is the 300sl convertible with a ski rack

That’s fucking rad. I have got to get to Goodwood one year.

We’re not known for staying on topic or accurately indexing things either.

I blame all the marijuana use.

meh, technically a Swiss car.

[gravitylover]

Meh, whatever. I also prefer the E Type FHC over the convertible.

the early e-type fhc was gorgeous, the 2+2 was a Christina ricci affair

[BmillsSkier]

Motorsport still banned in CH? This might make a lot of sense now.

[PNWbrit]

I think you're possibly confusing the flipping CLRs with the earlier Sauber Mercedes sports cars
