Done in the 70's the audio is that of a Ferrari although the car driven was a Mercedes! Super Cool non the less...

Not any old Mercedes Diesel but a Eurospec 450SEL 6.9 . Truly awesome cars today even . 0-60 in 7 seconds in 1976 was nothing to be sneezed at in a 2.5 ton car and face it ,todays cars are struggling to catch one on the road. Thats why the film maker used his own 6.9 ( a friend now owns the very car) instead of a sluggish unreliable Ferrari. heres some movies where the 6.9 starred.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8YRKmuCfS0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ZxN8MXjGU
And you know these guys had a lot of fun doing this one. ( even if one of them keeps switching cars... ) And this one...
I am real. I own both marques. I won't make a comment like that unless i have been and done it. Besides it wasn't a road going Ferrari he used for the sound track but a Single seater recorded in the early 50's with Fangio Driving. See the little yellow dots on the speedo face,that is the reccomended max speed in that gear in a 6.9.
I bought the film on DVD. Great stuff. There was a website that has the route and the speeds necessary to travel the distance in the time. It's gone now though...
Hahaha...Don't worry Fiddy... you'd have won that battle with 95% on this board. Next time bring your gun to the knife fight!!!!
"Rondezvous in Paris " is a cult classic amongst sports car drivers and enthusiasts . Has been since forever . You can find it on youtube now but twenty years ago if someone could come up with a film copy (rare) and projector there would be a Super Bowl type party to watch it .
I paid $50 for a bootleg VHS in the late 80s, now you can buy in on DVD for $30 from Road & Track: http://shop.roadandtrack.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=272 I always thought it would make an excelent opening scene to a 70's style porno....
