When it was first launched, at the 1954 New York Auto Show, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL captured the hearts of car lovers around the planet.
At the time it was the fastest production car in the world and the first ever road going vehicle with an all-so-common now direct injection engine.
The distinctive opening of the doors gave its Gullwing nickname and created one of the most recognizable car design legends in history.
Nowadays, an original 1954 model can easily fetch seven figures during classic car sales, and the model featured in the photo gallery down below is exactly that (note the round headlights).
This silver arrow was recently spotted by Auto Gespot member NLBUURMAN on a scenic road in the Austrian Alps, somewhere near the beautiful Grossglockner Mountain.
We have no idea what the yellow McLaren P1 with dealer plates is doing there, but the 300 SL is surely something beautiful and rare to look at, despite the not-yet-for-sale supercar and the eeriness of the surrounding scenery.
