davidwilkins, Today, after the long sequence of posts on Dacia, we’re going about as far from Romanian budget motors as it’s possible to get with this beautiful Mercedes W198 300 SL ‘gull-wing” snapped at last year’s Techno Classica. This is a very early car from 1954, the first year of production in the rare (twelve cars) colour 543 strawberry red metallic. I think @richardknott posted a car in the same shade (possibly this actual one) last year.
