Jay Leno has given us a cute little Christmas present with this discussion, review and test drive of the oldest 300 SL Gullwing which is visiting the States.
Extraordinary vehicle. Beyond imagination that post-war Germany could have designed and built something like this just after the reconstruction was completed.
It says a lot about the people and their commitment to perfection, effectively regardless of cost.
Just one of many things that can be seen at the MB Classic centre in Fellbach, which is where this car and its "curator," Michael Pluck, is based.
And Jay's expertise and fluidity around his love of cars is unique
