I didn't know M-B supplied the first power windows in 1948?

Didn't MB also offer air conditioning and double glazing first too, or am I imagining this?

 

[PJH]

I believe the double glazing was a joint first with BMW who fitted it to the 7 series that was launched at the same time as the relevant S class.

 

[Will]

Surely one of them must have been 5 minutes quicker at launching it or something

Well that's a relief! If that's nonsense I wish I was clever enough to get paid for writing it

Rich is a state of mind isn't it? Me, I'm just a fifty-bob millionaire - but at least a happy one

reminds me of something Clarkson once wrote ' If you had one lira for every hydrogen atom in the Atlantic ocean, you would have just enough to buy a double quilt from M&S '

A: super-rich geeks who want to stay super-rich (and they probably lease the cars anyway...and claim against their super-tax for them)
