That work was done in Poland.... I have seen my friend's uncle do some pretty amazing car body work. But this one is super


I know a man here in my town and when he lived in Poland, he was the owner of a "dealership" in some big city. Some of his cars were fakes like those and yes he did get into some lawsuits. I would never buy a car in PL just for safety reasons

When looking for a manufacturing site to build aluminum AC Cobra replica, they went to Poland and hired the factory that used to make MIG fighters to build all the bodywork and jigs. The fit was so perfect, the pieces could be used as replacements for the originals.

So investigated a little more on this car and came on to the polish forum.

http://forum.streetracing.pl/viewtopic.php?t=1879&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

In it someone asks how much was spent. The person said he wasn't sure how much was spent but a guess would be around the same price of an S-Klass. also, it was mentioned that the owner wasn't able to purchase the stock wheels of the SLR because "it wasn't available at the store". The people who performed the work on the car also said that the work done to the car made it better structurally than the original.

edit: apparently its also for sale at 200,000 Euro.

Like I said before. "If that masterpiece is only 200,000 Euro then, I'll give him my soul, If he can take a 1982-1992 sel and transform it into a Maybach. "
