During my trip to the Mercedes Benz Musuem in Stuttgart, I came across a particular 280E (33) which caught my attention. I had no clue about the history of this car, or why it was even there and passed it off as "another on display". Couple of days ago during a random search on the internet about driving London to Beijing, I came across this car and its history... All I could think was wow!
I thought it would be nice to share it with you all.
Here is the car well preserved in MB Museum...
And its history...
Then there is also this video as well about the Mercedes cars which had taken part in this rally...

There are some really amazing stories about this rally, how it all took place, the planning of it and everything else!
Enjoy!
PS - this 280E was the car that won the Rally!
