It sounds like something straight out of a dream. Drive from the Mercedes-Benz Centre in Brooklands, outside London, to the Goodwood Festival of Speed; meet up with the Mercedes-Benz Heritage transporter; pull the 300 SL out; climb in through the gull-wing doors and take it for a nice, long, leaf-scattering howl along some traffic-free English country roads.In fact, so surreal is the plan, I fully expect to be woken up at any moment, crows cawing outside my window in Mumbai. Then it gets even worse, even more dream-like. No special instructions are issued about driving the car, no restrictions are imposed; we just pull open the gull-wing doors and are helped in. Are they mad?
