It's a [W186] - I guess it wasn't a common sight on British roads by then. |

It was never a common sight on German roads at any time, too. .gif ";)") The "Big 300" was a car for presidents. In Germany it's, still today, known as "Adenauer-Benz", because the first chancellor after the war had such a car in use. There was one try to present him a BMW 501 - it failed, because Adenauer has lost his hat by entering the BMW. |

I should have thought the later 300d ('Dora') would be even less dangerous to Der Alte's hat ...  |
