Mercedes musuem Stuttgart

This is a early road test vehicle full of monitoring equipment it seems it had an umbilical cord of cables between it and the test vehicle both set off with only feet between them to record data  used in development . As far as I can make out this was done on public roads . it's what in my youth would have been described as "neat". 








You can see i n the picture below the cable from the test vehicle to the recording vehicle 













A very few of the hundreds of pictures I took at the Mercedes museum stuttgart. If you like cars or even if you just like sculpture there are some exquisite motors here and it worth going if you get a chance . there is I was told a Merceded Muaeum at Brooklands so whichever is closer . The glass topped estate was used in road testing and they seemed to tether the estate to the vehicle under test and feed the data into an early computer, They must have been going bumper to bumper, The blue truck was for transporting the race car but the transporter does 105mph , well it may go faster it says dont exceed 105 mph. The yellow van is a post office. There are so many many cars .
