How to ruin a 124....

[EDZ649]

MERCEDES 230CE AUTO GREY (1 off car) got to be sold on eBay (end time 27-Oct-09 19:44:33 GMT)

Check out the steering wheel!

Why would one do such a thing?

 

[AMG-Al]

and that's what happens when you drive through Halfords with the windows open.......

 

[Lugy]

What happened to the front end? Surely it wasn't done on purpose.

The standard early 124 front end looks really good IMO.

a true dog's breakfast...

210 bonnet and front, plus 210 wings.

129 (early version) front bumper and spoiler.

I don't get those "update-front-end" conversions.
I've seen them for W202 to W203 conversions, too. They look awful! All out of proportion.
The, on this car, there's the awful interior "upgrades" - YUCK!

The ONLY saving grace is that the car appears to have AMG Aero 1s. If these are genuine, then that's a rare extra!

To quote the seller "you will niver find a car like this"

I don't like that at all but at least it looks like it's been well done and maybe someone else will share the seller's taste

oh my GOD! that guy should be arrested!!

oh my GOD! that guy should be arrested!!

Shot more like!

Some skill went into that I'd say, as the transition from doors to wings can't have been easy. Notice the swage line along the top of the door is carried into the 210 wing? That's got to be hard to do well.

Not to my taste, as I like standard cars, but I can appreciate the work.

Nah - I love it: every C124 like that adds another fiver to the value of mine.:bannana:

 

[Frank O' Phile]

There is one good photo, the rear - side 3\4 shot but would benefit from blacked out windows as you can still see the steering.

As for the rest... EEEUGH!!!!

 

[HR17]

He should offer it for scrap - would be worth a hell of a lot more. It makes you wonder what sort of people have such bad taste, and are willing to spend thousands of pounds demonstrating it. 'There one born every minute' as they say.

 

[Baron_Samedi]

Nice apart from that day he had a fit and bought the steering wheel.

Unless it was a gift from his girlfriend and he couldn't get away with not fitting it....

Like the colour.

I would rather put toothpicks under my toenails and kick a wall than drive that car. if i had the spare money i would buy it and lock it away forever to save the general public from seeing it ever again.

 

[BlackC55]

We should all club together and buy it and then watch it being being scrapped.

 

[The Boss]

i feel sick at just the sight of the car.. poor thing..

And how can this be a 0 owner car?? either he didnt add details like the rest of the details missing, but no sane original purchaser would do this... surely??

 

[cammy]

Something i quite like about it can't quite put my finger on it.
Not sure i would buy it though.
