I have just had a cloned MB in the workshop

As the title suggests.

I had a cloned MB in the garage last week.

It had a chassis number for a LHD car and some interesting chassis stickers.

Ordering parts for it became a nightmare. I use the chassis number from the car the cd player came out of in the end.

I informed the customer (after the bill was paid)

He is going to investigate it further as he has only just bought it from "some bloke in London". Did he know?

The car did not seem right as soon as I got in it and it drove very badly. I am glad to see the back of it TBH.

Hope you got paid cash.

I hope for the owners sake it's not a cut 'n' shut...

 

[BlackC55]

It was not a cut and shut. Just a clone. Yes DM.

 

[Inkyskin]

Thats good then

Has this happened before with you? Just wondering how "popular" these cars are for cloning.

What sort of a Merc was it and how old ?

 

[jaymanek]

SLR 722?

 

[jaymanek]

Maybach?
T55 AMG?

 

[BlackC55]

It was a blue SEC with AMG's blacked windows and smoked rear lights......Can't quite put my finger on where I saw it before?

 

[Dieselman]

T55 AMG?

I'd heard one of those had just been sold by some dodgy bloke..
