The prices on tdfs are bonkers tbh. I’m pretty sure a couple sold for over a mil last year.

Nah, there's no need for the rest of those changes - just spacers!

I'll allow it.

Restomods normally do my head in and IMO the 355 is the prettiest car ever (sorry @Jobbo), but I like almost everything about that.

The 355 didn’t deserve that
The back end looks like it’s pointing upwards - like those women who have Botox/fillers in their arse.

It’s got 288GTO-esque triple cut-outs.

With restomods everything has to be inspired by the evocative nod to the lineage of the harking back to the design cues, sympathetically updated iconic ubiquitous dicknose.

It is a pretty car. Just misses out because in profile the rear wheels aren’t central in the arches. And because it already looks a bit like a Max Power bodykit on a 348

If you drive that around how many people will ask if it’s an mr2?

Love this - designo paint and interior Merc CLS55 AMG: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/16903609

That's berry, berry cool.

Paging @Sundayjumper

Got me looking at the AMG Shooting Brake versions of the newer shape - there's a 2013 one for £18k. That's probably where I'd put my money to use it rather than simply look at it and rev it on the drive

Any with anything like as good a colour combo?

No - I think designo Mercs are much rarer than Individual BMWs. And usually only SLs or just black leather so not particularly interesting. That CLS is pretty restrained, even.

Yes, far less common, and as you say, usually far more restrained/boring.

This is a similar price to that CLS but I could afford the running costs*; https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 32aad6ff31



*Doesn't include getting a garage to keep i in.

That looks like one for Johnny Smith

They’re pretty rare with the motocompo iirc.
