Chassis:
Chassis 00004/55 is by far the most successful and famous 300 SLR constructed. It was used by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson to take the legendary win in the 1955 Mille Miglia. Moss subsequently drove the car to victory in the Tourist Trophy and Targa Florio with John Fitch and Peter Collins as co-drivers respectively. It was retained by the factory and has since been regularly demonstrated. Chassis 00004/55 is seen here during the 2005 Monterey Historic Races and Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance at two of its final public outings. On the 50th anniversary, Moss drove talk-show host and prominent car-collector Jay Leno around Laguna Seca. When the new Mercedes-Benz museum was opened, there was talk of the car being retired from public use but it has since been regularly shown and displayed at events all around the world.
