Nice aren't they?
I think there's a few styling cues taken from it in the new SLS.

The white retro one is a beaut! Thoguh I think its almost TOO smooth without some minimal bumpers?
The new one nice, but as said someone forgot the door handles and glued them on later!

I like them both alot but i also prefer the second one. Has an almost 'hotrod' look to it
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

...according to Wikipedia, the roadgoing version was built from 1955, so actually 55 years old this year!
