Here is some pics of the 1954 Mercedes Benz 300 S class.

Having some trouble. Hope this works.

Sorry, the pics are too big here is a pic of Bond's Bentley.

Now those are two very beautiful cars. Thanks for posting those pictures, Station Domino.

[Station Domino]

Finally, a good look at the dash board. I
have to admitt the folks at Mercedes-Benz really know how to craft a car. I'll try to put together a dossier on Bond's 1930 Bentley 4.5 litre supercharged.
I already gave a preview above. Plus I may add some pics of the
'54 300S Mercedes -Benz to this thread.

Thanks very much Bond 111.
I thought it would be a good treat for the Blades Club.

[Bond111]

Yes, I hadn't actually seen the Mercedes before so it was great to finally see it.

[Qwerty]

Station Domino, all of these pictures, and there's a lot of them are very, very neat! Great stuff!

[Bond111]

Out of curiosity did you take the pictures yourself, and if so where?

[Johnboy007]

They certainly are nice cars!

Seems kind of hard to imagine those cars going at speeds or 100 mph + though.

[Station Domino]

Bond 111,

No I didn't take the pics. I did some online research after finish reading Moonraker. I was very curious as to what the '54 Mercedes Benz 300 S looked liked as well as the '30 Bentley. Here is another full view of the Benz. Probably the best shot.

Now that one is a picture of luzury. Very nice reasearch there, Station Domino.

[Station Domino]

I agree Johnboy007, it is hard to imagine these cars getting up there but remember the Benz S series always had a big powerful engine and as Bond metions in Moonraker the '30 Bentley has its roots as a racing car.

Take a look at the speedodmeter in the '30 Bentley. Max 120 MPH (or maybe kilometers since its British).

Much appreciated Qwerty. I'm glad you enjoyed.

[stromberg]

Great pictures, Sation D.

Always wondered which one is the Drax Benz, but somehow didn't get to the idea of just doing a picture search at Google.

If you're doing research on Bond's Bentley, this article that Mr.Asterix dug out a while ago should be very interesting and helpful to you: http://www.continent...org.uk/bond.htm

Wow, thanks a bunch Stromberg for the tip. A very informative article provided by Mr. Asterix.

As much as Mr.A. would love to have written this article, he didn't. But it was him who found it and posted a link on this forum agood while ago .
