Three-Pointed Unicorn: This Is The One-Of-One Mercedes-Benz C124-Based 'Boschert B300 Gullwing'
As kids most of us had a poster of our dream car on our bedroom wall. A Ferrari F40, a Lamborghini Countach, cars that belong to the enthusiast realm as well as amongst common denominator pop culture. Although at one time it might have been a life ambition, few of us actually ever managed to own the car on that proverbial poster. But Tino Zovko owns not just the same make and model of car, but the actual one that hung above his childhood bed. This feat is even more impressive seeing as this Boschert B300 Gullwing was the only one of its kind ever made.
The story begins at a magazine stand when Tino was nine years old. On the cover of the September 1989 issue of Auto Motor und Sport was a car that looked like little else he’d seen. Tino was instantly besotted. But the magazine cost 5DM, much more than the 1.50DM his father usually paid for the lesser Auto Bild, so Tino had to earn an A on a maths test to be able to get it. Inside, he poured over how Hartmut Boschert was going to make 200 of these amazing looking cars that came with twin turbos and self-adjusting suspension and wondered how soon it would be until he saw one for himself…
