Greetings from Finland (again...)

Last weekend our club's "Historic Race Finland" stand in a local car
show presented a real rarity, Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3 Waxenberger.

please have a look at: http://personal.inet.fi/cool/hrf/INFOE.HTM

It was a MB works effort for racing in 60's and only 3 of them was built
and this is the only one surviving example. Rumour has that the tyres of
that era didn't last under it well enough, which made it a bit
uncompetitive in longer races. It would be nice to hear if someone knows
something about the international history of these cars.
