00:02Yes, it's the sandals, but it's not the one driving the car today.
00:11Michael and Luisa Greb are showing the car on behalf of Alex Birkenstock.
00:17This was the convertible version of the 300SL by Ali Di Gabbiano that we saw first.
00:24Mercedes built Ali Di Gabbiano from 54 to 57.
00:30But then he realized that sales were going well and he wanted a car that could still sell better in America.
00:39And this is a silly thing for the two of them.
00:42They wanted a convertible, or rather a roadster, as we say in English.
00:48Create the Gabbiano Roadster version, which is still more successful than the coupe version.
00:53Think of it as the only one of these colors, it has been in constant use for about 43 years.
01:08He was the head of the restaurant service on a cruise ship that sailed from Olanda to America.
01:13This was a car, even though it says that this car, at the beginning of the 70s, had been a little less bright than today.
01:27It was a grandiose, grandiose, and I've been driving this car for over 40 years.
01:33During the party, the red-colored shoes were painted and then in recent times,
01:45after his family sold the machine and Alex Birkenstock bought the shoes,
01:49they were greeted with a few hours of work to remove the layer of red paint
01:53to then remove the original anthracite gray underneath and even all the inside.
01:57The other thing is,
01:58This two-tone interior, which is very incongruous, remains its original.
02:09Thank you very much.
