It is a sad sad day in the automotive world as one of the most iconic cars in the history of the automobile, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, got wrecked in an accident yesterday in Italy.
During the reenactment of the legendary Mille Miglia endurance race, a black Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing taking part in the event collided with an BMW 1-Series that was heading to Rome.
Both Mercedes and BMW drivers sustained minor injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital. However, the 300SL was heavily damaged and will probably cost a fortune to repair.
