Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing - Recommissioning an Automotive Icon | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop
In this episode, Iain introduces us to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, a car that has every right to be considered an automotive icon and considered by many to be one of if not the first examples of a 'Supercar'. Iain delves into the history of how this car came to be, a true race car for the road. This particular fine example is in for recommissioning after a few years off the road, so after undergoing the necessary work, it's time to gently bring the car back to life on the road before seeing if that legendary performance is still there.
Note: @04:20, Iain's third point was meant to be that it allowed the engine to be mounted lower, rather than repeating the first point. Such are the perils of filming in one take and from memory!
Thank you once again to everyone for the overwhelming reception of these videos and for all the support of likes, subscribes and wonderful comments.
