Coming home from Goodwood FoS the other week we passed a classic Mercedes, I'm going to guess at late 60's early 70's but could be miles out. It was a two door four seater and it had big rear fins.

It was bloody gorgeous in an imperialistic imposing way. Any idea what it might have been?

I thought they were bigger fins, but might be wrong.

In my mind it was more rounded around the C pillars, but that's along the right lines (and gorgeous!)
