Thanks Paul, fantastic.
Lots to draw the eye, but a TR6 shooting brake....amazing, never seen anything like it. Assume a post production coach built?

Now I'd never dream of competing with Paul on pictures of cars.... but a Currywurst in the museum cafe is a different matter!
cheers, Mike.

It was very well executed and looked perfect. Could have been factory styled. Nice - and unique - car.

Re: Stuttgart Trip (with photos)
Caught my eye too, a well balanced design, did that predate the Scimitar GTE?
Jenson made a very similar car, appealing classic.
Great pics from both, great to see.
Oddly, some time ago wife suggested we went!

Re: Stuttgart Trip (with photos)
Great pictures Paul, thanks for posting. Good to see plenty of fourteens. The Mercedes museum is amazing, still for me, the best motor museum I have ever been to.

Re: Stuttgart Trip (with photos)
Paul, you didn't post a picture of the 'car' you spent most of your time looking at.....
interesting to see what they put next to it though, obviously needed the hot rod there to attract people to the stand

Re: Stuttgart Trip (with photos)
Thanks for sharing your photos. I too admire the TR6; I'd like a DP 944 shooting brake.

Re: Stuttgart Trip (with photos)

Re: Stuttgart Trip (with photos)
I took a wee trip to Germany this week and spent Tuesday whizzing around the public transport system of Stuttgart.
Started at the Mercedes Classic Centre in Fellbach - not much to see as the restoration work goes on behind closed doors, and the cars they have finished/for sale are largely covered up and all "price on request"
Then popped across to Zuffenhausen and managed to get off at the wrong stop resulting in me walking through the factory (well, one of the roads that goes through it) to the museum. I'd not been before as the last time I was in Stuttgart was in 2007. Very impressive building and some lovely exhibits.
Then I whizzed to the MB museum but realised I didn't have the time to see very much so had a beer and a sandwich before heading back to Munich. Where yesterday I went to the BMW museum, which was excellent. The temporary exhibition in the "bowl" was all about the i3/i8 stuff and changing transport/emissions etc. That was very impressive (albeit an advertorial) and the then the actual museum is largely underground. A bit of a rabbit warren comparatively in terms of the number of "side rooms" rather than the big exhibition spaes of the Stuttgart museums. But I really enjoyed it.
I took some pictures too.
