I wonder if that 300 SL Gullwing wreck is real?

It's really not all that - it has admittedly been a few years since I have been, but, while there are cool old (mostly 40's & 50's American iron) the island was really full of Lada's & Nissans. One of the curious things about the island is that almost every multi national already does business there - and has for years. we were drinking coke from Cancun & Miller from Holland.
What is interesting is David Soul has been leading a process to have Ernest Hemingway's New Yorker - interesting because everything has to go through the UK

Given the value of the Gullwing, I'm surprised it hasn't already found its way out of Cuba or been "appropriated" by some government official.

Interesting racing history there. I can remember seeing magazine articles about Casner's Camarodi team racing there in the late fifties w/ Moss driving a Birdcage Maserati. Also, does anyone else remember the Fangio kidnapping? I'm sure Google would dredge up plenty on interesting material.
