wlaidlaw Posted October 13, 2022 Share #18603  Posted October 13, 2022 The other folk who did/do Mercedes conversions are Mecatechnic, as my brother has just had them make a C126 Coupé for him with a 5.5L AMG V8 and 5 speed auto in it plus loads of other updates to make it drive like a modern car. However I think they may have only started in 1983, which I am fairly sure this car pre-dates. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted October 13, 2022 Share #18604  Posted October 13, 2022 There were  Crayford estate versions I think - certainly some 1970’s W116 450SELs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming closer with 450 but when you look at the car it has damaged shocks OR ..... 😉 Not Crayford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted October 13, 2022 Share #18606 Â Posted October 13, 2022 There's something a little bit crude about it that doesn't chime with European coachbuilders in my eyes. Is it Chinese? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 13, 2022 Share #18607  Posted October 13, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) The "damaged shocks" clue might suggest a US conversion since so many US car customizers lowered their cars. Alternatively, a European "speed shop," making what we call a "sleeper" - a car much faster than it looks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed one of two made Pollmann 450 SEL 6.9 made in Bremen. It has the hydropneumatic level regulation on both axles, hence it looks so low when not driving. A similar system was later used on the rear axle of the better equipped works W124 T models. My dad sometimes had a new 6.9 of a client in our garage when he visited our town. Was fun to be chauffeured in it as a kid. So your turn! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Morgan Posted October 15, 2022 Share #18617  Posted October 15, 2022 Spot on a.j.z. The Ferrari specialist I bought my Mondial T from, Nick Cartwright, is a Dino specialist. He has bought his first in 1971, and including sale stock, in for repair and restoration, plus his own, he has about 20.   Welcome, dear visitor!
