With reference to the Mercedes W100 Grosser on the last page, this was at Goodwood on Sunday. Registration plate 5OUP
Owned by a really nice young guy who had a bit of a thing for these, explained that everything is activated by hydraulics, such as windows, locks, seats etc.
I remember seeing some program on these and things like the hydraulic window controls were something insane like £30k to fix.Owned by a really nice young guy who had a bit of a thing for these, explained that everything is activated by hydraulics, such as windows, locks, seats etc.

I just posted this on the Goodwood page but thought I'd put it here too... it seemed to divide opinion like nothing else!
Apparently it's a Wekfest Nagoya demo car (look it up on Google...)

It’s quite a significant nod to the GT500 car by the look of it. It’ll upset NSX purists but I like it Apparently it's a Wekfest Nagoya demo car (look it up on Google...)

This thing is straight out of the fevered mind of Leepu if someone described the GT500 to him over the phone!
(Closest I'll get to a NSX is my model one of these

Lennon's white lwb 4 door is up for sale at Tom Hartley Jnr. These are expensive cars in the first place - wonder what the famous owner tax will add to it. Comes with a period Phillips record player and Radiomobile 8 track.

Bloody hell that's a blast from the past... I remember going in George Harrison's when it was in for a service at his local garage in Henley where a friend of mine worked, it was in the workshop overnight so obviously we borrowed it to go 'clubbing' in. Seeing the picture of the stacked record and 8-track players in the rear, not sure if it was this exact car or one to identical spec but it was definitely the same layout - funny seeing it again some 50+ years later...CKY said:

Harrison bought the car off Lennon.

George bought the one above from the Lennon's but he also had his own white standard wheelbase one

Ringo had one first - a full fat 6 door. Apparently Lennon fell for it and went and bought his immediately afterwards
