Mercedes Benz 230 SL (1964)
Can you spot the Pininfarina details?
Here comes the bad part: Tom Tjaarda, the (re)designer of this gorgeous shape, met with Mercedes’ executives after the debut of this 230 at the Paris Motorshow, and they were not impressed at all with this design. Therefore, this never went into production.
If I were Clarkson right now, I would say something very cold and emotionless in german accent about Mercedes.
