Greetings!

It's pouring rain today as I look up from the computer and out over the lake that is currently our parking lot. Road testing our latest project, a spectacular "survivor" 300SEL 6.3 will have to wait until the weather clears Sunday.

Meanwhile, we have prepared a great read for you.

You'll find out what some of your fellow Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts drive and we give you a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of many of the extraordinary cars housed within the Mercedes Classic Center in Fellbach, Germany. This is a must read.

And we answer the question whether or not the ungainly SLC was successfully raced in Europe. You might be surprised by the answer.

Read on to learn about these topics and to view two unique videos furthering the mystique of the new Gullwing.

Please enjoy our 58th newsletter.
