1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing

Completed in September 1954, this early production 300 SL Gullwing has a history unlike any other. The car left the factory in Stuttgart and was driven straight to London for display at Earls Court for the 39th International Motor show where it served as a demonstrator — being filmed by British Pathé. Privateer Formula 1 and sportscar team boss Rob Walker purchased the car directly off the stand, but would never take delivery — the car was taken to Hatfield by Mercedes engineers for a shakedown drive, where it spun and rear-ended a tree. Returned to the factory for repairs, the 300 SL would be bought by Carr & Co's Noel Carr, before moving on seven months later to Mr. Charles Gardner, in whose family it would remain until the present day. Wearing its original silver and blue plaid interior, the car goes to auction in London.

Toys made for her often vibrate. The male anatomy only vibrates as much as we can move our body. The Trojan Dual Pleasure Vibrating Ring splits the difference. It's made with a soft-touch ring that helps extend the sessions for him, connected to a ribbed vibrating to stimulate her. Crafted from soft-touch silicone, it's water-resistant to survive wet play, offers eight different intensities for personalized pleasure, and is USB rechargeable so it's good for multiple sessions, no matter how long they last.
