I hear you, Jack. There would be two of us on the hunt for the 300 SL.
I'd be in on one too. :-D

In the world of super cars it’s a masterpiece of aero dynamic beauty and mechanical mayhem 1750 hp, oh my! Never to be confused with a performance sports car like the 300SL.

What a shame they didn't open the hood? trunk? to get a shot of the twin V8s.

Interesting vehicle. But don't see much purpose for it other than to look at it.

Looks like I misinterpreted his description. My initial reaction was...wow! I've got to see that!

Interesting car Tom, you captured it well. I agree with Barbara its ugly. If I had the money for that, I would go shopping for a restored 300 SL 
I agree except I’d like a Jag XKSS (altho a D Type would do). Unfortunately the current auction estimate on the XKSS is $16-18mil.

Exotic looking car, but we all know there are quicker and faster cars than this one, just ask John Force 😎😎😎

Well done in capturing this road rocket. Personally, if I ever encountered one (doubtful), I’d be exiting the road and getting out of its way. WTWTCH….

Nice shots of interesting car. I am going to stick with my 560 SL. It's fast enough for this 81-year-old.
