Beauty.

Guessing the 3.0 is going to be working pretty hard in a vehicle of this size though. Wonder why on earth they didn't go for a V8?

...this high specification 300SE was sent straight to Germany, to have a 40inch extension fitted by Maybach.

Huh? I thought Maybach wasn't revived until 1997, how could they have done the extension...

I believe 1000SEL conversions were done by Trasco.

Gold plated grille and badge. So tacky. Though the colour scheme of this car lends itself well to wedding/stag night limo jobs so will probably end up with a limo company of that sort. Bling, bling and all that.

Parking could be a bit of an issue in most places.

Dodgy!

Why didn't they start with an SEL?

The 1000SEL Story

Love that site. Some utterly mental examples of 80s excess. The 300ce gull wing and the zender w123 estate with blue faux seude interior and 80s hi fi shop bolted to the dash are stand outs. Awesome stuff. Takes me back to looking at pictures of flat nose ruf 911s in classic and sportscar as a kid.
