“This Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer is a combination of speed, style and power,” saidConcours Chairman Sandra Button. “Somehow these three elements—along with thosefantastic torpedo running boards—become the very definition of elegance.” The car, a sporting tourer, was first delivered to a Captain Miller on behalf of Earl Howe, whofounded the British Racing Drivers’ Club. “We’ve had the car for several years,” said McCaw, of Bellevue, Washington. “The questionwas whether or not to restore it. I always hate to restore something that doesn’t need it. But wefinally found enough pictures that we knew the car needed to be restored.” The car retains its original Marchal lighting equipment and chrome-plated wheels; these arecomplemented by low-cut doors and unusual torpedo-style running boards containing tools andother ancillary equipment. The rich blue color was a dress inspired by a dress made of peacockfeathers in the 1850s. In the final circle, Bruce was up against his brother John McCaw who, with wife GwenMcCaw, competed for Best of Show with their 1957 Ferrari 315 S Scaglietti Spyder. Also inthe Winner's Circle was a 1932 Packard 906 Twin Six Dietrich Convertible Victoria owned byWilliam E. (Chip) Connor of Reno, Nevada.
