Motoring

Made in honour of legendary race driver Stirling Moss, the latest creation from Mercedes is a shattering crossbreed between the old and the new. It'll set you back a thoroughly modern £672,000.

Designed to evoke memories of the 1950s glory days of automotive exploration, this two-seater doesn't have a windscreen but instead uses wind deflectors to keep your face from becoming too chiselled. For those easily carried away, it even has an airbrake.

It's 5.4 litre V8 engine purrs all the way up to its unrestricted top speed of 217mph - sure to drive the ladies wild in the passenger seat. However with a strict run of only 75 units, why not dream of some slightly more accessible babe magnets like one of these instead?
