Some childhood dream cars are more easily attainable than others. At 16 you may want a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or even just anything with wheels. Bill Evans sat in the Blitzen-Benz at 16 and committed himself to that car ever since. With three in existence...
But the restoration of this Blitzen is complete, Bill drives it and in this vid he explains a little more about it. Of course we won't spoil the details but to know a car like this achieved 125mph years before WWI is reason enough to spare a few minutes for it. It's a phenomenal achievement that both Bill and Mercedes are rightly proud of.
