Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

A Sultan of Brunei car, which largely explains what follows. 6.0 380hp M B V 8, 4 speed automatic, 5 spoke AMG alloy wheels with low profile tires, power mirrors, tinted glass, modern M B independent rear suspension, power disc brakes, P S, Recaro seats, A C, CD changer stereo. One of eleven built, four lefthand drive coupes like this. Astoundingly stupid.

Market commentary

A three quarter million dollar hot rod that destroyed a perfectly good 54 Gullwing. Bizarre.
