I was recently sent two photos of my Grandfather with cars he confiscated and drove himself whilst serving in post-war Germany. The first is a Mercedes Benz 290K Cabriolet, formerly used by a member of Hitler's general staff, and the second is a BMW 326 about which he wrote, "I didn't have this for very long. The brakes failed and I rolled it three times through a hedge. I walked back to the officers' mess, consumed a stiff scotch and went to bed. No idea what happened to the car. I never went back to find out, and nobody contacted me."





There must be some pretty incredible vehicles owned and stories handed down through the generations amongst all the PHers out there. What're some of yours?
