Strosek also liked to decorate various cars with fake testarossa strakes.

Obviously yes.

But why did you ask?

This information will not help you.. ;)

I asked because quite a few of the puzzles on this forum are sourced from old magazines and reference books, and If you don't own or have access to the material it tends to be a blind alley trying to find the info on the interweb for those puzzles (unless you get lucky) :)

I´ve got to admit, that many of my puzzles are scans.
The other thing is that the possibility of cheating is much easier with using web-based material, of course. ;)

I try to find photos of cars that are only mentioned in a text somewhere in the internet, but this is also not too easy... :-\

So is there any info about this car on the internet? ???

Not a photo of this specific Mercedes SL, but many others, they have customized.

I think it is Leinwather, not Leinwarther. At least, it written that way in the 1987 auto katalog.
