Here’s hoping that Doug will break “Only post 80’s cars” rule again and review Aston Martin DB5
-
What a beauty. I definitely plan on buying one of these after the lease is up on my Corolla.
-
I love the way Doug DeMuro can "borrow" a million dollar Mercedes from a preservation society like a normal person borrows books from the library. When I borrow cars from the museum, I end up in court.

The reason it has Stirling Moss' name on it is because he used to own it. He sold it through Bonhams auction house in 2015 and you'll note there's a 2015 UK tax disc on the windscreen. Those tags for the Mille Miglia were Moss' when he won the race shortly after signing for Mercedes in 1955. Read up on him, he was a fantastic racing driver and his ownership would elevate the value of this car even more
-
Gull-wing doors by engineering necessity has to be one of the most German things of all time
-
Doug: Frankly if I crash this, I rather not survive lol 😂

My first ride in a 300SL was when I was a kid in the early 60’s. My dad was in the passenger seat, his friend was the driver and I was curled up on the rear luggage shelf behind the seats. The engine sounded good but lacked power down low, but it cornered incredibly well. For safety reasons, we never exceeded 100 MPH.
-
Anyone else playing this at 0.75x so doug sounds normal.. I think he had too much coffee before the intro
-
this particular 300sl, with the mille miglia medallions and stirling moss' signature, might be the coolest car doug has ever reviewed
-
“Frankly if I crash this car, I rather not survive” yes exactly lol that car is beautiful
-
It's crazy to think that the Germans were able to make something like this in less than 10 years after the WWII, in which their manpower, economy and infrastructure were devastated. Huge respect. 🙌🏼
-
As an Australian seeing those two open holes in the back of the cabin seems absolutely insane to me. I wonder if there’s any Gullwings down here that has mesh on that. It’d give me so much more piece of mind haha
-
The level of trust Doug has these days: "This is the James Webb Telescope, easily one of the greatest achievements of mankind and today, I'm going to review it."
-
Honestly Doug reviewing old cars like that is pure joy I wish we would see more
-
In the last few weeks I have watched many, and I mean many of your videos. I have never seen anyone love what they do more than you do. I love cars and I really love super cars, so thank you for all that you do. I get to geek out while watching you geek out. Keep em coming.
-
Definitely one of the most beautiful cars ever.
-
He finally got his hands on one. The absolute legend.
-
Doug…watched this video before, but I love the 300SL. Definitely a dream car. I’m happy that you got to experience driving it and spending time with it. Good job, man. Thank you for making these videos.
-
You can tell this is a dream come true for Doug. The authentic amazement really shines through especially as he's driving and talking about the vehicle's mannerisms and some history. Glad to see you got to drive an automotive icon that you looked up to for years. Great work Doug!

MB Classic Center : How many 300SL do you want? Doug : Yes
