Yes and it was very special to see one if the flesh and to see 3 x 300SL including the factory build racer + a 1 family owner car that was displayed right at the back - Gullwings down on that one - I think I got some pics of that car too - it was found in a shed by the grandson after the passing of the grandfather - he took it on and did a full restore on the car.
I recall a pub crawl along the Champs Elysee (excuse the spelling) many years ago, Renault had a cafe/showroom with a couple of former F1 cars including the Rene Arnoux turbo example on display.
