路Yeah there is an older lady who lives around me who has had one of these since new.
She lives in the neighborhood I grew up in and I remember when she first got it. Back when I was still in high school.
I moved away for 5 years or so and when I moved back I was so happy to see that she still has it and is still driving it.
It is very hard to miss lol.
Not quite the same but a very interesting car choice for a lady who is probably now well into her 60's.

路Is it PTS? I thought maybe it was just a wild color they offered lol.
Could be. I have no idea honestly.

Quick read of MB forums suggests it wasn't PTS necessarily but was custom-ordered. The yellow is similar to some of the "Designo" offerings from the first-gen SLK. So it sorta is PTS in a way, but the sample is from MB's color pallette.

路This version is a bit larger, probably not enough for printing though
Edit: Ah-ha, here y'all go, the "A0" print at 拢45.99 is 47" x 36" (not as the web page says)
https://prints.motorsportimages.com/1965-belgian-grand-prix-18278150.html?prodid=73041
Another edit: I know the photographer! He was chief snapper for London Art Tech (LAT) at that time and covered all the Grands Prix for MotorSport magazine.
Laurie now lives about 6km away and has been a friend for 30 years. Sadly all the photos he took belong to LAT and he doesn't even have copies of them 馃檨

All the professional photographers that are at these races take photos and they are legally owned by Dorna.

It鈥檚 certainly a great photograph, however it鈥檚 odd that the blurb for the poster print says it shows Graham Hill leading Jackie Stewart, which while true fails to mention Jim Clark who is right up Hill鈥檚 exhaust in his Lotus 33! This race was one of Jim Clark鈥檚 most impressive wins. He led at the end of every lap of the race, fastest lap, built up a lead of one and a half minutes before easing off in the latter stages to win by 45 seconds, and on a circuit he did not like.

路Having greatly enjoyed the recent engine-music posts, I thought it time again now for some purely visual stimulation, (but just imagine the noise emitted at 8000 rpm):
