Who knows the company that is responsible for this 1980´s tuning apocalypse?

Is it one of Willy Koenig's children?

grobmotorix · April 11, 2013, 04:55:07 PM

That would be too easy...

ValkyrieGT · April 11, 2013, 05:27:00 PM

Hans Heyer 350 SL.

grobmotorix · April 11, 2013, 05:34:57 PM

No, sorry.

richard cuyler · April 12, 2013, 07:15:41 AM

Gemballa?

WayneB · April 12, 2013, 10:59:45 AM

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

grobmotorix · April 12, 2013, 11:13:42 AM

Both Gemballa and Strosek would be faaar too easy...

WayneB · April 12, 2013, 04:37:01 PM

Did you scan that photo from a book or magazine Mr.Grob?

grobmotorix · April 13, 2013, 10:22:21 AM

Obviously yes.

But why did you ask?

This information will not help you..

WayneB · April 13, 2013, 11:01:11 AM

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)

grobmotorix · April 13, 2013, 11:25:08 AM

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... $:-\$

WayneB · April 18, 2013, 01:16:56 PM

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

grobmotorix · April 19, 2013, 11:42:32 AM

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

Vestatec?

grobmotorix · May 03, 2013, 01:27:51 PM

No.

Wendax · May 03, 2013, 01:34:22 PM

Leinwather & Blazek?

grobmotorix · May 03, 2013, 01:48:17 PM

You see me rather speechless - YES!

1062 points and counting...

Wendax · May 03, 2013, 01:49:50 PM

The Recklinghausen licence plate was a big help!

grobmotorix · May 03, 2013, 02:00:12 PM

I really forgot to photoshop this detail...

Now I must say yu were a lucky guy with getting that point...

Wendax · May 03, 2013, 02:20:57 PM

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

grobmotorix · May 03, 2013, 02:22:23 PM

Right. I´ve mistyped it. Thank you.

WayneB · May 05, 2013, 02:34:40 PM

My hats off to Wendax.

Even though I now know who made the car I still cant find out anything about it.
