    I too admire the craftsmanship and the interior shots comply with the spirit of this thread's title - whilst an awful lot of what is posted here does not - but what's been created is something so pristine I just would not be able to bring myself to step in and drive it for fear of spoiling it. (I suspect that many porno model are like this - untouchable in reality!)

    However, an SL always looks sexy, even when not dressed up in her best:

    "The Mercury Outboard 300SL!"

    Somehow that's just not right... like "fresh frozen" or "jumbo shrimp"

    Or putting a touring fairing, top box and saddle bags on a 70s Ducati 900SS.

    Or a snowsuit on Sofia Loren

    Ugh I wish I could like more than once.
    If I ever came into a bunch of money an F40 is the first car on the list hands-down.

    Gah that interior is great.
    I'd take that over any modern Benz interior any day of the week.

    Not exactly “pornography” but pretty humorous.

    I was staying in Steamboat Springs, Colorado a couple weeks ago when 140 race cars from the years up to 1960 arrived at the hotel I was staying at. Turns out the Colorado Grand 1000 Rally drivers were staying the night there too. There were roughy $35 to $40 million dollars worth of cars in the hotel parking garage that night.

    Here are a few pictures from my stroll through the garage starting with a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

    Here are a few more cars. I have an affinity towards Mercedes and Jaguars of this period which was over represented in the images of the previous post.

    So here is a Bugatti with bugs squished on the front from the day’s race leg:

    And a Bocar (made in CO between 1957-61):

    And there were Astons, Ferraris, Bristols and so much more!

    Ok, and one more Mercedes, this convertible sibling of the Gullwing. There were 5 of these convertible 300SL models in the group.
