I am writing a historical story about it. I haven't read much owner history before Weston Hook other than the German publishing executive, Mr. Springer. Was there ever a time when this car sold through a classified ad for an "oprdinary" amount , back when its historical importance was not realized yet? I have seen the car in black and in red and in silver, I was wondering what the original color was or did Mercedes change it once when they were still showing it?
\Incidentally found on a Pininfarina site a picture of a "sister" car, a huge Mercedes sedan by Pininfarina which I did not know of before, now I can't find that site again but it bears certain resemblance to the 230SL based car.
