It would be interesting to know what is going on under the bonnet. In terms of styling, it’s not my cup of tea but still looks better than most of the modern eyesore crap manufacturers design.

Yes, I’m wondering what’s under bonnet too! Those riveted panels look ominous.

Unfortunately it looks hideous from the side view, not so great from the front, back looks superb if you vocas on the chrome tips, but the sound is :cool:

The Ponton was never a looker IMHO. It was the German version of the British "Spud Car" styling of the fifties and sixties. Still, the owner seems pleased with it.

Interesting. How do the headlamps work to make it road legal?
As I remember most cars in the 60's were 6 volt. I could be wrong.
Thus anything would be an improvement but I do wonder if cars that age are exempt lots of things?

If it has an AMG63 engine the electrics will have to been upgraded to 12v to run the control modules and ECU

Yes I searched there as a first port of call!...not sure what's happening there, certainly didn't sound like diesel!...not so much straight outa Compton, more straight outa Gotham.
