The 300 SL is easily up there as being one of the most beautiful cars ever built, especially in red 🤩👍

[@natbarron]

I’d never seen one in red till now. Stunning!! P.S I’m actually a Nathan B as well 😂

[@mortenlaursen1179]

Thanks for sharing Sam😀 I've drove in a 1955 Gullwing back in 2003, as my Billionaire employee was a classic car collector, well, he gave me a short drive as a passanger, but I surely all of a sutton remember the sounds🤩

Very cool!

[@WillSatchwell]

Was so far ahead of its time when you compare what else was on the road in 1956. One of the easiest classics to drive.

[@bispal]

That is so amazing, such a beautiful car! I would love to drive one. Nicely done 👍🏻

[@YOC5]

Classic 👊

[@BangAverageRider]

Epic thumbnail photo!

[@sammooresphoto]

Yeah it was a good day haha

[@henryhol8538]

What a brilliant drive! If I had to get one, It will be the roadster as it had (from what I'm told) a better suspension. When? Probably when my numbers come up or in my next lifetime!🤣

[@sammooresphoto]

Roadster for me as well!

[@natbarron]

Wow what a dream! Did you take the little one with you? We just traveled from Australia to the Uk (Surrey) with our 18month old. Certainly challenging 😂

[@sammooresphoto]

Haha, no baby is at home I suspect a flight like that is…interesting 😂

[@natbarron]

@@sammooresphoto It was tough to say the least 😂

[@myotherusername9224]

When that car was new, no one who dresses like him would do anything but look at it.
