The Mercedes-Benz Blue Wonder + Dirty Hero 300 SLR is a highly detailed scale model sold by Racing Heroes, a small family run business based out of Santa Barbara, California.
Each model is intricately detailed with a strong focus on accuracy and authenticity by Classic Model Cars, a German/Chinese company that are known for staggering attention to detail. At 1:18 scale, they measure approximately 10 inches long, and whilst many of us may never be able to afford putting an original Mercedes Benz 300 SLR in our garage – we can at least afford to put one on our desks.
