The Mercedes-Benz W194 300 SL | The Big Thing with Magnus Walker – Ep. 01

In the series premiere of Magnus Walker’s all-new show “The Big Thing,” Magnus is back and he’s here to tell you about cars that are, in his opinion, The Big Thing. For this episode, Magnus spends some time in the hills of Malibu, California, with the Mercedes-Benz W194, also known as the 300 SL. One of only ten ever made and the precursor to the more well-known W198 Gullwing, it’s considered to be one of the most significant cars Mercedes-Benz has ever made—a perfect candidate for The Big Thing.
