Those Traffic Wardens at the back ought to slap a ticket on it just for being hideous.

The front is like a snow plough as well.

You can actually make the sun roof out from that pic.
Thought vinyl roofs went out of style in the 1970s?

Not exactly understated is it :)

I suppose the one benefit is that it is LHD and what looks like a foreign plate. So with any luck it won't be over here very long.

These fake convertible roof trestments were quite popular in the US when I lived there in the late 80s and early 90s. Mostly seen on late model Cadillacs, Buick, Mercurys and the like, driven by aging hipsters. The kind of car where the chrome trim has been gold plated.

Weird, but understandable, what type of women do they pull:rolleyes: poor taste all the same. Caddilac or otherwise.

Looks like the driver's fiddling with his hair, making sure he still looks real cooool - yea man!

Shame the front wing is a different colour.



What an oil tanker;)

Strange thing is that the owner hasn't 'Presidential Tinted' the windows so he obviously wants to be seen in it.

Knowing our luck the owner will now join the forum, asking for advice on soft top cleaning.

Here's a guy that really couldn't make up his mind whether he/she wanted a Merc, BMW or Audi.

So he tried an amalgamation of all three cars into one.

A Merc CLS shape.

The roof of the BMW 6 convertible.

The front grill style of the new Audis.

Perhaps the owner has been watching 'Life on Mars' ?

He really wants a gold Mk I Granada or a Mk III Cortina for the roof to go on .

In the 70s when vinyl roofs were all the rage,one company made a vinyl effect paint,you just sprayed it on and as it dried gave a very good effect.

With all of the Ex police cars I bought I had to fit a vinyl roof to hide all of the holes in the cars roofs.

leave this forum immediately and never darken our virtual doorstep again !!!! :D

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I really like the CLS but I do seem to be in a minority on this forum
It has an Audi grill you should love it :twisted:
