Good question. At first it seemed to be some kind of tach, but isn't. This guy has been attempting to sell this "Landaulet" for at least two years with no success.

That's my guess. I disagree on the cool looking part though, I think they ruined a 109 .

Wow, the roof actually works, too! Kinda cool, in my opinion. I had the temptation to install a ragtop kit in my W110 200D fintail, but now it is up for sale.

I'm strangely attracted to this car.

I'd like to see some shots of the interior of the soft top.

I don't care for the idea of having snaps across the forward edge of the fabric top, that implies the soft top is only for emergency use, not general driving.

Still, rather an interesting idea.....
