5:22 am
you just get to be human and you're like i'm going crazy on you day you know i just so you start to take calculated risks. stephen can be qantas i returned months ago when they were both fed up with the isolation in the yo ass. in the us between everything with cold and the election and unemployment rates you know we really felt like so you know was a place that we could get away from the cold it. well i'm not sure what it is to be honest i mean. it's been made out to be such a big problem but i don't know that it's worse than the flu and i'm not really to get ready to give up my liberties over a virus the 51 year old only wears a face mask when necessary after all he's among friends. nevertheless he is aware
5:23 am
that he could infect others or be infected himself and won't then i don't want to go to a hospital and. be marked as a cold it person either i don't have insurance years so i think i'd probably try to take care of myself the best i could over the best outcome in the country needs tourists and people feel they have to get out and move around because the solitude makes them sick you know it's more important to live in existence we have in you know buy fish or you might get hit by a bus or you might get called in so you. take so you really need to sire later is reviving tourism with restrictions stores and restaurants are only allowed to be open for 6 hours a day if the hotels are welcoming only one 3rd of bank dance to capacity for when the weekend inside a little begins the streets become fuller more tourists move closer together and
5:24 am
many face masks disappear. he she says is a doctor so she's concerned about the callousness that she often witnesses is simple enough but that it's impossible not to think about the fact that it's a risk and that some of these people will soon be my patients but as a human being i also understand the desire to enjoy the old life style the name of and that the intensive care physicians days always form as a family that wants to be cared for 3 generations under one roof and the time they spend together is very important to them. but who bit into all those apples. here all the years and he always bites all the apples they're still good for a fruit yogurt though that's our fruit situation over there. but they're all watery it looks he says and yvonne have the riskiest job in the country by doctors who treat patients. the last few months have been tough they're looking ideogram even
5:25 am
if you know what to expect but it can always get worse because someone new is suddenly admitted and you don't know how they do it with you and i think. this is been the daily routine of doctors for more than 6 months. it gets incredibly hot in the suit you don't understand what the other person is saying which sometimes makes you desperate and you can't breathe well. eases films a special connection with our fast coated patient because he is also a doctor tourists come to the clinics often with no symptoms but are still in fact in it and that could so easily cost the lives of our colleagues. hello dr how are you. this is how i look but do you think. it's important that patients feel safe they're isolated and have no contact with their families.
5:26 am
the pneumonia was severe but the scan shows marked improvement. soon the ventilator will be removed. he has put himself in danger for other people. he's doing better and for me as a doctor this is the greatest satisfaction that. the number of infections has risen significantly due to tourism say that alters hospitals are becoming overrun time and again yvonne is worried about his country an explosion of coby cases and a new lockdown would be a catastrophe for the people of the region. it's a thin line our country needs the economy but this can only be done with strict security measures and the worst thing now is not so much the virus but people's ignorance. ignorance that could have severe consequences for

maria ho say she works as a hotel concierge and has to get tested. one guest tested positive for kevin. i know i like working with terrorists but the risk is always there. the situation is complicated but we also have to make money. callousness means that the doctors do not know when this will end they have their own families who they do not want to in fact feel. children who are waiting for a welcome home cares and a hug and hope that their parents will remain a healthy and. see other bottom line if they get sick then i can no longer be with them. i'm afraid that they will die. tourism during a pandemic the wire eat of getting sick with the longing for life and the need to
5:28 am
make a living it may not be the easiest challenge to bring all of these together but it's not impossible. if you're meant to win a game by the end of yes our whole village could be overrun by the virus. obviously of them but i think that if we follow the hygiene and social distancing rules then we can live here together that way. the ones that get in the middle we will stand for if you want to get ahead you just have to remain optimistic but i guess it appears this.

5:31 am
movie divas and playboys alike. even if it left something to be desired on the comfort front the legendary reputation of this car opened the doors for the flamboyant kulwin construction. today the cars a highly coveted rarity each model is worth some fortune player. plays the lead. the village of calling in southern germany as a kind of the web site for those fascinated by the mercedes 300 s.l. . condes klein sold runs a specialized workshop on the grounds of a former monastery he restores and services $300.00 s.

cells for the wealthy owners from around the world. for clients all it's a labor of love he's restored more cells than anyone else. when the car 1st hit the market in 1954 there was simply nothing like it although i am in the car was from a different planet and 954 v.w. bug could only just hit the 100 kilometers per hour and opel maybe $110.00 a porsche $160.00 and this carded $25050.00. 6 tech killer door design earned the 300 s.l. the nickname of gold wing. just 1400 units were produced with the signature doors they were followed by more than 1800 s.l. mode stories the convertible version. of the make
5:33 am
up of the hive always been fascinated by the contouring on the design i still remember the 1st time i saw one but something happened to me that defined my later life. best bet is a little distance. intriguingly the gullwing doors were not the result of some ingenious futuristic design concept they were actually more of a stopgap solution in order to allow the racing chassis to be forced for a sports car. as it is it to these doors were born out of necessity this body part here is so high because it has a very special lightweight frame construction on grid in order to allow people to get in and out relatively comfortably the door opening had to be enlarged all the way up to the roof with them and this is just so it wasn't a design idea as such but
5:34 am
a constructional necessity almost but think. it's greatest the car may luck getting into it requires a minor feat of acrobatics that only those in the know have mastered. the 1st to sit on the sill then you put one leg again and then the other. for men it's kind of doable for women it can be difficult. the cars are now around 70 years old they're in such demand that their market value increases on average by 500 euros a day. the specialists a closed workshop do everything they can to preserve the unique aura of the stunning sports cars. so how did it all begin. the story behind mercedes decision to design such a futuristic model in the 1950 s.
5:35 am
can be pieced together at the car makers archives in felt not far from company headquarters in chicago right. before the 300 s.l. went into production there were a series of prototypes racing cars that over 70 years ago dominated motor sports events all over the world refining the tradition of the mercedes silver arabs. employed they quickly build up a legendary reputation as archive director yoke and that man explains. their own for their reputation was founded in the early fifty's especially in 1952 by the prototypes they clocked up a series of big when i was at le mans for example and the career of pan americana in mexico. and of course there was plenty of media coverage will be almost replied in the media in between. the thick of it the 3rd career of pan americana the road race that takes place all across mexico in 8 stages over 5 days been taking part in
5:36 am
this challenging race for the 1st time with its new 300 f l. riders have to draw on all their skills on these mountain road given the continental tires are subjected to extremely demanding test. in the rain 100 f.l. compete with incredible persuasion here cooling races around the bend of. the ocean on the german wonder cars are now that center of attention. now calling an am on long score a wonderful double victory for germany and for mercedes benz kling is the celebrated victor of the 3rd corrupt an americano across mexico if you go. it was a victory that ignited enthusiasm for mercedes racing cars in the us and led to a completely new kind of production car the most on here with our cities drew up
5:37 am
its 1st plans for the 300 s. sound including a construction drawing on a $1.00 to $1.00 scale. the original blueprint for the design of the body used to detain was developed above all for the u.s. market to build. community. and new york based car importer named max hoffman had urged mercedes to prepare the car for volume production it returned pump man promise to purchase at least 1000 units for the american market. he was in town so when did you know you all go to go eat more or less convinced the management to go on the presentation at the motor show in new york to. of the rest. it was simply an ingenious blueprint it had such an aura that it stood out from everything else on the market at the time. i as a result most of the $300.00 s.
5:38 am
ounds ended up in the us the bald styling was a sensation as was the construction the teeth in their space for it held the car together on the inside just as an interesting car. it was the super light frame that gave the current designation so. this chaotic looking at family is actually a carefully thought out and practical construction the frame of the sports car frame welded together from then wall steel tubing which translates into low weight and high stability. production $300.00 f.l. is based on the same principle it bears the hallmarks of its bigger and faster brother its gullet and weighs just 80 kilos. back to restoration workshop the mechanics roll out one such skeleton chassis.
5:39 am
the team of more than 30 specialists have repaired or rebuilt almost every part of the car. some jobs can take several months even gears you know the objective is to restore each car actually wood's original condition as accurately as possible . this one was in pretty bad shape. we had to replace 3 quarters of the bodywork it now has a new out a door panel and a new fender. the more parts you replace the tougher it becomes to get everything to fit together smoothly. featherstone and this. is all with a roadster it's vital that the roof connects exactly with the window frame without any gaps so this i wouldn't pass it up and getting a 300 s.l. restored can easily cost several 100000 euros and we could but it's an investment that usually pays off seeing that well restored models are worth
5:40 am
a 1000000 or more but to cases where the majority of the original parts have been retained the value is well beyond that. it is time we can replace any part we're missing in the past we've had jobs where the body was completely burnt out and no longer usable it well it's a given that was why the way in those cases you have to construct a new body but then you're obliged to tell a potential buyer that the car has largely been rebuilt and the focus. of the work is done by hand often using hard to find materials. the upholstery work alone can be extremely complicated. that's why 200 hours or more.
5:41 am
after all that work is done the car will look like the original version again. the 300 s.l. gold wing was built from 954 to 57 incidental thing in the cart then between 57 and 63 the roadster was produced in both models the steering wheel could tilt to make getting out of the cockpit easier. many of the 3. judith cells from this area have been restored to pristine condition and hardly any have been left to rust away. but sometimes just sometimes. is a motive to such a find. hold up and was told to want to be standing around in a scrap yard in the us for the last 45 years i got in touch immediately booked my
5:42 am
plane ticket and went over there and it was a pretty bizarre place to get. the so-called scrap yard was in fact run by artists who built sculptures and recreational vehicles from old car parts. is the shastri of a 300 s.l. i'm behind it all the artists who have no appreciation of what they actually have their. tools clumsily bought the chassis for $450.00. i look from here you can see parts of the body that are still attached this is the bald head they cut away the rest and threw it away because they wanted to turn it into a halt rob. but those plans were soon forgotten when klein still paid more than $300000.00 to the bewildered sellers and took the chassis hope. that they can use the money to buy a house or fulfill a lifelong dream so everybody's happy. in addition to restoring
5:43 am
$300.00 s. ounds comes close also biased and sells them and provides a garage for his clientele when billionaires come to munich he takes their car out of this hall and brings it to the airport ready to drive and in mint condition. in the 1950s it didn't take long for the rich and famous to discover the 300 s.l. . movie stars for example the $300.00 s.l. was considered one of the top cars of its time which is why so many celebrities wanted to have one sophia loren had her own gullwing edition and there are lots of nice photos of her with it. so then we have a need to act bergen rome while she was shooting
5:44 am
a dog civita the. this is jewel bryna problem for carson who had one of the cars despite not having a driver's license filled us in the women. and then there was for field movie hosa a diplomat and one of europe's best known playboys of the fifty's he was married several times including to the woman worth heiress barbara hutton. but she also enjoyed the company of the likes of sasha born and marilyn monroe. but also who some compare to james bond also loved fast cars and was the owner of this 300 s.l. . a 6 cylinder 215 horsepower engine made in 300 s.l. extremely fast and thirsty its fuel consumption was more than 20 leaders from 100 kilometers. not an environmental concerns were given much thought back
5:45 am
then but it didn't feel injection which at the time was quite a sensation. it was ordered by the fuel ephedra to transfer power into the injection from there it is distributed evenly and injected directly into the individual cylinder like. and then in an. eager to buy one that every $300.00 s.l. engine is subjected to hours of testing its torque and output are measured across a range of engines commit. even by today's standards it's an ingeniously designed and robust unit says every mile in the engine workshop. almost 70 years to take control overhauling one of these engines can mean up to 160 hours of work. one of the more time consuming
5:46 am
tasks involves boring intoning all 6 cylinders of the 3 liter engine. for many parts spares are no longer available. these components have to be manufactured according to the original designs. team's ambition is to deliver a car that will run for another 70 years. these engines produce such a lovely sound i've always been fascinated by the car although sadly i don't have one myself and i had always heard. this were saving his workshop also restores vintage cars in meticulous detail for museums and wealthy private clients they're joined by a modern classic which looks like a reinvention of the old 300 s. out of. the mercedes and seles m.g. has gone way indoors this edition boasts almost 600 horsepower.
5:47 am
an awesome automobile but in terms of charisma miles behind its predecessor from the 1950 s. . former racing driver hans harriman followed the development of the 300 s.l. 1st hand from behind the wheel lock on wheels you don't recall if you're going to be at least fascinated by the classic car in all its restored glory and just love to take it back out on the road again even in his ninety's for him it's a unique creation you know or you will be with a new feature in the room of 70 years ago mercedes dominated motor sports worldwide with the racing versions of the $300.00 s.l. and hans hammond was lucky enough to be a part of it all being colored visible. here put it all began with a call from mercedes racing manager alfred nor about inviting him on to take
5:48 am
a test drive to go while the other guy. iverson volved were established stars was a 19 year old rookie. that are more on the shark i wonder what annoyed our said they would be going to the new ball gring with 3 other drivers as well from the quickest of the 4 would get a place on the team. i was speechless. he then shouted down the phone in this characteristic manner so are you and are not of course i said and one week later we were at the newer bordering i was the quickest driver and was then recruited to the team and you were in trouble. for hans hammond it would be the beginning of a meteoric rise in the motor sports world. and he clearly still has what it takes behind the wheel.
5:49 am
instead of the norm boyd the thing or at the mall here he's maneuvering the $300.00 s.l. around winding country brothers outside stuttgart has plenty of fun even at moderate speeds. recalls how the car turned heads back in the 1950 s. . i'll be home to know your basically people gave you funny looks at traffic lights perhaps they were envious of courage forcing you to italy they chopped. mock you know. what a beautiful car they were just delighted. at the mercedes museum benchtop cart the 300 s. owls are still very much stars of the show.
5:50 am
and they're also why thomas pollock visits the museum. he co-wrote a book about the man who dreamt up the now legendary gullwing to carve it all fool analogy engineer and designer at mercedes it was blue and how to incorporate in the special skeleton and retrieval of frames from aircraft construction into the 300 s. our. own mark was especially struck by one exhibit here brooklyn how to play one of 2 cars created by the visionary designer in 155. both are now owned by mercedes. didn't learn how to pay his insured for a princely $30000000.00 euros. sot so it is.
5:51 am
this what makes this automobile special is that to lay people it looks like a gold wing. but its heart is an unadulterated racing engine. it was taken from a formula one car from 1954 modified to result in a road going version with a slightly larger displacement and reduced engine speed. it looks like a production car but it's really a thoroughbred racing car. the bull in college was the mild mannered head of mercedes car testing department but out on the track he took on a 6 like cancer among a team used both full and how to pace for company and family business. team a consequence restoration workshop have to take a car to out of the show there's always movement in this market. so let's say 1st if those are years the 300 s.l. has been in huge demand in class all those fires and sellers all over the world and
5:52 am
is in constant contact with many of them with the public who have the car he has photos and precise facts on practically every surviving model of the sports group a. has taken the only production data from mercedes and continually updated it over the decades after all he has personally overhauled hundreds of the cars. nothing much happens in the gulf weighing officiant out of scene that counts closely doesn't get wind of. this so nice is a delivery document that you get from a sadie's for every vehicle it includes the vehicle identification number plus the original color the equipment line and the optional extras which of course comes in handy. for its and here it says delivery destination

madagascar we restored that 110 years ago. these days you see a lot of swindlers trying their luck on the vintage market they claim to have found a car in europe who are indonesia with an extremely cheap price but they offer $10000.00 euros in advance to reserve it. it's almost and sadly people keep falling for it thought it was. but some give me a call and when i look i can see that the car is not in europe why but in my gary joran a customers. now and then customers part by with less dramatic problems it might be a break lights or loose contact or a little nick at the costly paint job we're going to be. here akim carphone thinking stein is a cosmetic surgeon who lives close by he loves his 300 s.l.
