Interesting choice of wheels.

Don't suit at all in my opinion.

There's some motors in that auction, even a barn find by the looks of it

Chav tastic. Sad really. Modern steering wheel? Why?

Can live with the steering wheel but not the Alloys

 

[renault12ts]

It has modern mechanicals...so much better than the original.

I remember this being auctioned 4/5 years back, all the work was done by AMG. It's guide figure back then was circa £300k. It was good investment by the looks of it.

I am all for modern mechanicals, but the alloys and steering wheel just look so wrong..... :S

 

[Grey Area]

Second that, I would change both straight away.

 

[Howard]

Thought it was built by HWA , same people who built the A32K.

 

[neilrr]

Criminal to do that to genuine W198s.

They're quite rare.

 

[C240Sport97]

didn't the build this for the Sultan of Brunei?

 

[Rob77]

Presumably the modern steering wheel has an airbag and the wheels are needed so better brakes and tyres can be used.

 

[h17n dj]

Isn't this the one thats on display at Brooklands?

 

[Howard]

There has been one at brooklands in the past , but as this one is from a collection in Hong Kong it's unlikely to be this one.

I'm sure there must be a way of getting some more suitable wheels over the brakes, maybe some modern steel wheels banded for wide rubber.
It is also crying out for a Moto-Lita steering wheel or something similar.

I think if it was mine a slight retrim so the seats are half leather with the centres in the old check cloth!
