Now in the bright lights of NYC!

550-08 - the original MM Spyder. I only have one photo of it now - would love to know where it is!

Yep---have fun in NYC. What happens in NYC stays in NYC.

550-08 is not MIA.

...just a stone's throw away...

[Type550]

I know 550-08 is alive and well, just don't know who currently owns it!

[Type550]

Today comes from sunny Sweden, the home of 550-09. Bought for a bargain price back in 2011, this Sebring prototype was on display at the PRCC event for the first time under new ownership, before it was shipped to its new home.

[Steve Heinrichs]

Yes, great car and great current owner. And----before the Sebring photo---it was the bucklewagen that did the dealer visits with '351' number (but not 351 MM 550-0. Driven to the shows by Buckler---who later came to California and had a Mercedes dealershi. Bucker raced Speedster 80003 at Torrey Pines---first Speedster to race in the US.

550-10 - still used as a historic track car today in the UK. Great to see a spyder used for its purpose...

550-11 was one of those Spyders that was burnt to a crisp at a meet. Obviously soon it will be resurrected from the remains of the frame. I know the person who has the door with a few singe marks in the paintwork...
