A familiar face - THAT C126 Gemballa AGAIN
Don't like the lights
Don't like the wheels (expensive doesn't mean nice)
What's with the £50 private?
Thats been patched up, blown over and rushed out. Obviously without seeing it thats imho...
Why no interior pictures?
Looking at the pictures of of Jays and the work going into that, the rust that shows up, has this been dealt with?
If they can provide photographiv evidence of the work, back to bare metal, sorted the rust etc etc then ok hands up.
Is it at a dealer, anyone dare to go and see in person?....

I'm hoping to go and see this car on Friday, nope not a cats chance in hell of me buying it, just to get a first hand view of this rare piece....i'm more interested in the history, but also keen to see how well (or not) dealer has restored it.
If it's not sold and if i'm not otherwise occupied, i'll sneak a look.

Sorry, that just looks to me like another widebody SEC. Gemballa or whatever, don't get me wrong it looks a very nice and looked after vehicle, but alas your enthusiasm and somewhat snobbishness (smugness??) is wasted on some of us who think of that as nothing more than an SEC with a nice bodykit.

Agree, hate the rear lights, front lights (US versions) would work well if the surrounds were color coded. The US lights had crap lighting characteristics but great to look at on the car when done right....

from the seller:
Hi, your right , it was an absolute gift and i still cant believe it, the car had to be stripped and the body pannels refitted then repainted , i had to source a new headlight from the states [ i found the only one ] then i bought a blue leather interior and fitted that, the wheels at great cost were sent back to gotti and everything else as in the advert, i have spent a small fortune as you can imagine but think its worth it, i hope you like it, thanks phil.
Although the wheels are expensive, i think that combined with the rear lights they ruin the car.
I think wheels make or break a car and they are breaking it!
15" will never be enough to fill them arches.
