450SEL estate!

Interesting: Mercedes-Benz : S-Class : eBay Motors (item 270521820113 end time Jan-31-10 20:56:08 PST)

In the US though. Interesting colour too, and the word "ESTATE" on the tailgate.

Very interesting car - looks like a coachbuilt special rather than a MB product?

Clearly been done to a very high standard, as evidenced by the 'estate' boot badge, though the lines of the estate conversion just don't quite flow with the rest of the car IMO

Looks nice, wouldn't mind having something like that, unique...

Will be interesting to see what it fetches.

Is it a Crayford? Would like that in my stable, but those U.S federal bumbers would have to go, just how ugly do they make it?

 

[CE230]

Monstrous, ugly pile of poo IMO

Without the US bumpers I reckon that would very cool to have. Like the Porsche 928 Estate they've got in Zuffenhausen. I've seen a DB5 estate and a Ferrari 456 Estate before.

Couple of issues as far as I can see:

#1 Looks like a hearse
#2 Impractical high boot sill

i like that - would make a great towcar :bannana:

I reckon this is cooler!

I bet even the current owner has no clue what "ESTATE" means

Beleive it is a Crayford.

However, in a strange way I kind of like the retro US bumpers. They don't work on something like a 911 but on this and something like the Volvo's of that age it sort of works.

I'll get my coat...

Ad copy says Crayford, yes.

Built for dealer principal at "Harpers" which appears to have been the US agent for Crayford conversions.

I'd still prefer a 60TE though...

Its Huge...and must be fab for towing
