Formula One racing is the theme, and visitors are treated Ito entering a super-modern garage. These photos were taken on Sunday, before SIHH opened and show the staff getting things ready.
First the view as you enter:
And the Bar:
A Petronas-AMG Formula One car being disassembled:
Another view:
A cut-away engine, showing the incredible engineering:
The actual Mercedes 300 SLR driven in the 1955 Mille Miglia by Juan Fangio of Argentina to 2nd place, behind Stirling Moss. It was based on a Formula One design:
Another view. The back shade was done for aerodynamic reasons: Displayed near it is the new IWC limited edition Silberpfiel watch, an homage to the classic Silver Arrow cars from the late 1930s to the mid 50s.
