When you're in Essen, Germany you can be sure to stumble over one or two products of Daimler A.G. They always try - and often succeed - in creating some downforce in your jaws. This year they presented
a most compact 100 years of GP/F1 show case, starting with the 1914 4,5 litre GP car. No way to check all cars individually as they had been stacked in three layers but the effect is immense. They even were kind enough to bring our recently presented
post-war mystery Merc,....
the W196R Stromlinie.
And if you were still not sure if this is Mercedes country just a few steps form there you found the very 'rare' 300SL in a field
of thirteen pieces of Gullwing and Roadster. Scattered over the show there were another 10 or so. So even if you were interested in a specific color combination there was no need for despair.
