    2017 Goodwood, I met Sir Sterling Moss and saw that car! All the cars are amazing but that blue Ferrari was sexy as hell.

    722 - 1,000 miles around Italian streets averaged 100mph. Dennis Jenkins co pilot story of how Stirling put it into a slide at over 160mph because it lost brakes. Incredible driver, drive and car. Stirling Moss, driving God!

    i liked the bit where the mercedes guys from Stuttgart spoke in their broad swabian accent......they know what they're doing...... these cars are usually exhibited at the mecedes benz museum in Stuttgart Untertürkheim....well worth a visit.

    Mercedes recently sold one of their 300 SLR’s from its private collection for $142 million,The estimated value of the one Sterling Moss raced is nearer to $400million so there was a lot of money parked right there on the streets of London….

    lol, the Mercedes W 194 shapes comes partly from Ferdinand Porsche office and the silver was never a Aston Martin color. Before Porsche founded his own car company in 1948, he had a construction design company that developed cars for Daimler/Mercedes, Audi/Wanderer, Volkswagen, Zündapp, etc. Before WW2 each country have a color for there cars. French blue, British green, German white, Italian red, etc. Silver becomes Mercedes color because of a race series from 1934. Was the "750kg series" and the Mercedes W25 (Porsche development) weight 751kg with the white painting. Then they sanded off the white paint and it only weighed 750kg. The Silberpfeil was born and also the color from Mercedes.
