We had been discussing recently, just what makes a car stand the test of time and what makes the other age quicker than most buyers would care for. The general consensus was all it takes is passion, a pen and some paper.

Many modern sports cars are designed through the aid of the wind tunnel, fluid dynamics and other such technologies, that of course makes them super slippy and effective with regards to aero, but boy do they grow old in a very ungraceful manner.

Example for you – The stunningly pretty Mercedes Gullwing 300SL – aged, still gorgeous and will be till the end of time.
