Great and astounding. If produced by MB, I am sure it would become a legend car from start… The article says that the work for the resulting car is called the 300 SLC was "Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe". I would be curious to know who that could be. So far nobody around here gives any sign where the happy and taste-aware client is located.

If I had a truck load of gold bars I would try to stop her being made  :-[
It's bad enough seeing women having their faces changed with cosmetic surgery, for the worst  :'(

We are what we are, the Pagoda is what it is, a classic from the 60s, it doesn't neeeeeeed cosmetic surgery  ;)
Neither should a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC.

Yikes! But destroying new cars is still preferable to altering classics like we've also seen here...
