This car looks awesome.



from the article:
This 1988 Mercedes Benz 300CE was converted to AMG Hammer spec from new, and though it’s not clear which of the model’s two “base” V8’s it was originally equipped with, it is known that the Affalterbach firm swapped in a range-topping 6.0 version of their 32V M117 in 1990, upping displacement by either 1,000 or 600cc as the case may be. Described as one of roughly 12 Hammer coupes made, the car looks absolutely fantastic and further benefits from an extremely rare manual transmission.

now THAT is one seriously nice motor. even better if the steering wheel had been on the 'correct' side, but thats about the only thing id change in a perfect world.

HUGE power and a manual gearbox. just proves it CAN be done. its almost like they knew i would be along at some point, when this car was designed and built.

I do not like the extension to the drivers door mirror, it spoils it.
