There is nothing cool than the loaded Renntransporter

It must be a very odd sensation driving the transporter, front suspension and steering behind the driver.

A little like driving certain fork lift trucks

 

[slade1]

Like a fork lift trucks. I don't think so, usually driven on smooth warehouse concrete floors and no suspension.
Many many decades ago I used a type 1 VW pickup, sitting on top of front wheels and suspension
travel of around 6 to 8 inches on undulating dirt roads you bounce around a lot.

Jay Leno's Mercedes race transporter might be the coolest truck ever - Autoblog

Yeah, it's a replica, but it's still one of the coolest machines in Leno's garage.

Jay Leno's one is based off a 1980s Merc truck according to his video. He also added a couple of custom vents and openings which werent on the original.

The Racecar on its back at Goodwood was a fake wooden one (for obvious reasons)

It’s a lovely vehicle.

I believe the original was destroyed by MB

Yep, as mentioned in my video. They considered it a waste of space. Like we would an 15 year old Transit van
