I was amazed to see a 300SLR in the collection. Its extremely rare to see any of these outside of Daimler-Benz captivity. I don't fully understand how this car came to be in the collection, but it is apparently on permanent loan. From who? I'm not sure, but the Schlumpf's were close friends with Alfred Neubauer, and acquired a selection of pre-war Grand Prix racing Mercedes-Benz' during the 1950s, including a pair of W163s, which I don't recall seeing during my visit. M-B did acquire at least one car from the brothers for their own museum, so perhaps they were loaned this car as part of the deal? Perhaps someone knows more.
