A Mercedes-Benz 300SL gullwing was wrecked in a crash at the 2014 Mille Miglia in Italy
Over the weekend. The black 300SL, built in 1956, was being driven at the time by one of the heirs of German rental car giant Sixt.

Saturday, in preparation for an air show, I saw two P-51 Mustangs flying in close formation on their final approach for landing here. Fantastic to see these planes fly and also hear their unique exhaust and propellor noise..especially in formation. But the thought remains, as with the classical MB car, the more you keep flying/driving these historical vehicles, the eventuality is that they are going to be destroyed in an accident.
