A thing of beauty

a thing of beuty indeed, not a huge fan of the de-chroming on the grill though. The mini headlamp wash wipers also need adjusting to the original park position. Overall really nice though
 
Spot on Darrell !

If i had it , i'd buy a white suit , blue T shirt and some espadrilles !! ;)
 
I think there was a video on youtube of this car like an a video advert...

It is a quality looking car I love it...:rock:
 
Agree about the grille, other than that ... stunning.

Seller should have got a grownup to help with the spelling though:

"3 pies wheels" :D
"breaks"

etc.
 
Wow. I could see me in that. £15k is a bargain if it's as good as it looks.
 
Evil.

Nice to see an SEC done well.

Again, the alterations of the front were an error.

Do any of those AMG engine bits mentioned give it any more horses?

My SEC looks like a pussy next to that - and mine has the AMG suspension and er, that's it!
 
Am I the only one that doesn't like the look of that car at all? In its modified state that is.

Well the engine is enlarged from 5.0 to 5.4, so it must have more than a standard 500. Not sure how it would compare to a 560 though.
 
Love it and love the dechromed grill
