Perhaps this car is the basis for a tale I always took for an urban 
legend.

A gentleman was cruising on the continent at high speed in his 
Mercedes and noticed in his rear view mirror a speck getting rapidly 
larger.  Just before it went past at an obscene speed he caught a glimpse 
of a distinctive RR grill in front of a very long bonet.  He pulled over 
at the next phone box and had a very frustrating time trying to order one.
