I have never seen one before and my Mercedes bible doesn't mention it either, but it sure looks great. It should be a very nice and rare head turner...

Learn to weld and turn your sedan into one. Better yet, Glue the two hondas together to form a push-me-pull-you vehicle with a hot tub in the middle.

Very cool! I thought from your description it might be the "Renn Wagen" MB used to take the 300SL and other racers to the tracks, but its not. If you haven't seen a picture of this I'll upload it. I found it in a set of books from the MB Museum.
