Rarity? Absolutely. This 1932 MG F-Type Magna was originally built as a four-seater F1 and later converted to two-seater F2 specification. Conversions from F1 to F2 were not uncommon, and this particular example was transformed during its restoration in the 1980s.

The two-seater F-Type models are especially rare. Of approximately 1200 F-Type cars produced in total, only around 40 were genuine factory-built two-seaters, making this example all the more noteworthy. And the color doesn't leave you indifferent, does it?

If you’re a fan of GS models, some might say the Holy Grail is the GSA X3 with the 1300cc engine, the special Basalte, or the Birotor with the twin-rotor Wankel engine. Maybe.

But for others, it’s the rare commercial versions, like this GS station wagon with windows (break service vitré), essentially the same as the panel van (break service tôlé) but fitted with two huge windows on each side.

The windowed version is especially rare, as it was produced only between 1972 and 1975. And in orange? That makes it even rarer.

What a pleasure to see this one at Retro Classics in Stuttgart.

There’s really only one question: should this barn find be restored, or preserved exactly as it sits in your garage? It’s a tough call, isn’t it?

Here’s something to consider: how many Citroën DS Cabriolet are still tucked away in barns? Does that make the decision any easier? Not really.

Either way, it was an incredible sight, spotted at Retro Classics Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

If you're passing through Stuttgart, stop by the Mercedes-Benz Museum, it's well worth a visit. It's a real trip back in time.

Want an example? 1955. The 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé: more than 300 HP and a top speed of 290 km/h. In 1955.

Daimler-Benz developed this closed version of the 300 SLR racing sports car for the 1956 season. Two cars were built. However, they never competed, as the company decided to withdraw from motorsport at the end of the 1955 season (year of the Le Mans crash).

Instead, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, head of the test department, frequently used them for business trips—hence the nickname.
