Re: For the car lovers
Beautiful, George, but I think it’s a custom build.
Mercedes never built anything like that.

Re: For the car lovers
There must be a lot of heat to get out of the engine bay, the bonnet is double louvred and 3 vents up each side of the engine cowl. Nice looking machine, I wonder what the blue thing is under the drivers side front and the door emblems are .... Not a pure custom house build, the exhaust being visible but not polished is a give away, but still a nice machine all the same

Re: For the car lovers
My immediate reaction was a stretched Morgan Plus-8 with a Merc transplant.
However that boot behind the rear wheels is very un-Morgan!
It also has what appears to be a ‘proper’ rear seat… also very un-Morgan.
The Morgans I have seen close-up have what can only be described as an upholstered suitcase shelf. Leg-room: zero.
Note: no ‘tombstone’ seats & the VW parking lights on the front guards… going 100% for the Pommy Sports Car look.
So I reckon it’s a Morgan-inspired custom body… and given the $$$ those Arab bigwigs have to spend somehow, probably a custom chassis as well.
