[steven f]

i think alan davis might have a logbook for this

How do you forget about a car like that for so long

[Graham Robson]

No it's not a replica and no, it wasn't 'abandoned'.

See the Piston Heads Nostalgia Forum for the whole gory story.

The only controversy, it seems, is why this Mercedes-Benz W196 was stored for so long ....

Have you got a link Graham? I can't find it on PH

[Graham Robson]

Sorry - Senior Moment !

It's not Piston Heads.

Dig in to the AUTOSPORT website. Go to Forums. Choose The Nostalgia Forum. It's in there ....

Yes, I know, I'm an idiot.
