Default Could Mercedes be next on the tribute line up?....

Mercedes 190SL 'ish'







I really like the look of this however the doors really do need attention! They just scream Z3!



Some company are making them in Japan.

Would be good to see a classic Mercedes on the tribute production line.....

If you want a Merc, Mad About Kit Cars publicised this one 18 months ago
http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/index.php?shownews=138



I much prefer it.

Yeah, I remember these replicas a few years back.

This car was called the Duesen Bayern Mystar and it was built by a japanese company that also built Fiat 500 replicas on Nissan Micras. I don´t know if they still build the Mystar or anything about the price but I believe they were quite popular.

It wouldn´t be a bad idea if it was on the Tribute line up.

Possibly might cause upset if Mercedes get hold of it : http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/23/d...z-300-sl-body/

I don´t think MB would say much about a Z3 SL as you can see its more of a lookalike, but the 300SL that WCA mentions is clearly in another league as it looks more like a forgery of the real thing.

Building something that looks like a modified SL "might" not give problems.

I wonder why they didn't carry the fluting/styling onto the doors as per the original?

Damn, and I was hoping you'd build me a modernised 356 Speedster on a Mercedes Sprinter donor. At least that would probably sell well in the Fatherland.
