Vehicle Modified 1965 Fintail V8 AMG

£8000
This car has been transformed into an AMG V8 automatic.
Modifications include -
5.5 V8 engine + autobox
Brakes
Suspension
Power steering
Dashboard
Door cards
Seats 2 tone black & grey leather
Alloys
Elec windows
Central locking
New discrete roll cage
New period spotlamps
New bumpers
Parts came from a 1999 E55 AMG which I also have the log book for.
Just had a service, new battery, window wiring sorted, new electronic throttle linkage and other small jobs all done by local Merc specialist Klasse Automotive, East Calder, Scotland.
The bodyshell is 54 years old, a few dents but overall rust free. Needless to say it's quite fast and looks the business. A pleasure to drive and a total crowd puller.
Certainly not a car for a Mercedes purist.
Friends of mine have several names for it including Mafia Staff Car, Gestapo Car and Von Ryans Express. May swop or px an automatic SL or SLK, no junk please. Car is in Livingston.

Pictures help

 

Haven’t kept it very long...

 

Pictures coming shortly. In the meantime its on page 3 of the newbie section.
If I can make a few quid with it then it's gone.

 

Sorry everyone either camera, laptop or brain not working correctly. I cant get the pictures to load.
Plenty of pics and info about this Merc on the classic car section of www.freeads.co.uk

Thanks very much for loading the link Rob76. I'm as useless with links as I am with loading photographs!

 

really don't know what to make of that pal , kind of reminds me of retro Cuban cars , my uncle had a white fintail as a wedding hire car 40 years ago , wish I knew the reg number , could possible be it ?

 

It certainly wont be mot exempt, it is modified!!

 

Frankenstein springs to mind

 

An old lady crashed into me today. Car is no longer for sale due to the fact it's probably a write off. She admitted full liability to the police and her insurer. I'm totally gutted.

 

How was it insured?

 

Everything kosher at my end.

 

Not saying it’s not, just interested in what kind of policy you had to cover the modified car and was it agreed value or the like?

 

Hi Bc. I have recently been offered by a chap in Wakefield a 2004 (M9 XXB) Silver E500 Automatic Saloon with 98,000 miles on board as a swap for my 2004 (53 plate) R170 Facelift SLK 230 Automatic !!

 

I would be too - but no doubt someone will be able to resurrect it, given enough skill and parts availability.
