Hans Baumaster I'm speechless. -
Andreas I absolutely love the flaming part! the pinstripes, interior mods and the grill guard not so much. -
American Racer Ha, This one!! Von Dutch and Earl managed to piss off quite a few Benz Boys and sports car enthusiasts with the little ol' SL. -
American Racer Remember in those days hot rodders used to work on cheap ol' Ford and other domestic vehicles not foreign state of he art sports cars!

Secret Mercedes Collection
Lucky me, I was invited to take a peak at a private Mercedes collection in an undisclosed location. This collection is the real mc coy, all the cars have been restored single-handedly by the owner –a true old school enthusiast.

BMW 2002 Alpina
BMW 2002 was a pretty quick little car to begin with in its day. However that did not stop from Alpina in Buchloe from offering an extensive go-faster kit for amateur racers as well as aspiring professional teams.

Adam Nice kit...wonder how much it would be to source all these parts today, if even possible?
-
Andreas would cost an arm and a leg and take ages. I have some Alpina parts in my E9 but have never seen those for sale separately.
-
Hans Baumaster Although not a BMW guy, I used to drive one of these in the 80's. A lot of rust though and decided to sell it for a song...regretted ever since.

Hans Baumaster Very interesting design. You could almost say it makes this unique and rare car even more so. Do you know which company built the body?
-
Andreas The body was made in Finland on a chassis delivered by BMW. 328 chassis used to come with the wings, cowl, bonnet and grill. As "Carrozzeria"s were few and between in Finland those days it is likely the body was by a company specializing commercial vehicl

Abandoned Silver Cloud curb sided
Our reader in Northern Finland -Cheers to all the Finns out there!- emailed us these photos of an abandoned Silver Cloud curb sided. By the looks of it the poor Roller had some TLC before it was abandoned for what ever the reason.

Rehabbing a 220Sb w111
Strictly speaking, I wasn't in the market for another classic car, quite the opposite. In fact, trying to down size and focus... However, when the opportunity knocked my door in form of a 220Sb stored in an old industrial building for a decade or two, I couldn't resist...
