Scroggs, fine work. You know I like the MkI Escort and the 3.0 Cs a lot. There are these nice Alfa´s and Capri´s and there is even a Citroen SM at 2:10.
Look at all these cars and you know why we do like em, there was no dictation from wind tunnels and not as many goverment nanny safety rules. This made it possible that the cars then had their own personallity.
I love that 300SEL... it's just a shame it ate tires like popcorn. 400 horsepower and two tons of German schteel has a habit of doing that.
Yesterday, I saw a well-kept '65-'67 230S "fintail" down on my local street. It was white with a red interior, and it had the floor-shifted four-speed. I explained to my girlfriend that I want to get one and turn it into a rally car; she looked at me like I was crazy. I'll have to show her this video.
Whoa, those were the days. The entire pit row looked like tons of random people were just milling around. I don't understand much German, but I did hear the word "gearbox".
To give credit where credit is due, the cinematic undertones were all made possible by the excellent work of editor György Szeljak. See more of his work here:

Also: Minichamps makes a 1:18 scale replica of the Benz, if you (like me) are into that sort of thing.
