Finally, I hope hundreds of you will buy the Paul Finn model of the 1955 Mille Miglia-winning 300SLR Mercedes-Benz, to help the very deserving BEN Benevolent Fund.

Not true of the Mille Miglia, unless the chap with his hands resting on the ramp wall at the start of the race had been there for ten hours without moving!
