Some people shouldn't be allowed to even touch a benz!......let alone own one.

And whats worse still.........there was a person or company that actually designed that and built that body kit! They should be sent to Siberia also!

These body kits were very "80s". I remember seeing similar ones for VW Bugs in Europe. Same style: big bumpers and low spoilers. Some German kit makers supplied them. To top it off, it should have had a big spoiler in the back (usually also an option).

That car would do well in certain neighborhoods in Atlanta

It is supposed to look like a DTM racing car.




At least it does not have racing stripes!

In the UK no MOT means don't buy it!

No MOT would raise an eye brow because they are very stringent about rust, the UK salts roads like crazy and W116 rust like nothing you would believe.

no, seriously, death is too kind a punishment for the person that did this.
