130rapid ◊ 2014-02-22 11:35	I'd say 1964 only with these headlights.

130rapid ◊ 2014-02-22 16:12	1964 was also first season with 'Neue Klasse'.
dsl ◊ 2014-02-23 14:02	Could be 1964 Brands Hatch 6 hours which was an ETCC round - http://touringcarracing.net/Races/1964%20Brands%20Hatch.html which would make the Merc the works 300 SE for Böhringer/Linge, finished 3rd - see picture with double headlamps - http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1964%20Cars.html . This race also gives the BMMW as 1800 Ti Schneider/Hahne, retired - again pictured at http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1964%20Cars.html .
