Back in 1985 when I was a little bit younger and had a fascination with BMW's (god only knows why), i always used to turn my nose up to Mercs. For me, they were an 'old mans car' and there was no way i could have liked them.
Then I remember buying a car mag and seeing an advert for a company called Village. From memory they were based around NW London somewhere and their specialty was converting 190E's to have a front end like a SEC.
I guess this was the turning point when i started like a proper marque, and to top it off, there were 2 brothers who lived around the corner from me, and one year they each bought one of these conversions.. one in black, and the other in blue. :bannana: :bannana:
Anyone else remember them? and what on earth happened to the company?
