I do love the idea of a high speed (90mph) waft down through France in something like that. I would have to ponder what might be kept in the garage at the destination.
I really like this car, which is in a similar vein. Aircon, more modern engine with additional power. I can't make up my mind whether the price is too strong.

And being a tart, I would have to lower it a bit.

Good value too compared to the 280 3.5 coupes.
And then...
If you're going to fit an S class shifter, bunging it in still attached to most of the '126 centre console (and missing any sort of surround to the shift gate) is not the way to do it. It's not even the right colour. Bah.

Followed this the other day. It turns out there is indeed some kind of link between the Brabus name and the Chrysler Grand Voyager. I find the two Brabus badges quite funny. I can't imagine it's got the 900hp Rocket engine in it, but would be cool if it did.
Maybe he's a market trader and uses it to shift large quantities of female underwear?Bra-bus?

Needs some wood/chrome around the airvent section and a trim of some description to cover the gearlever gaiter. Good value too compared to the 280 3.5 coupes.

Then get a Becker head unit to replace that f**king awful modern one. If they did that, it'd probably cost another £1000 to have done by someone and it'd sell for £5k more. Bizarre.

Indeed, that totally ruins a gorgeous car. Needs a new centre console, which wouldn't be hard to do. MDF, wrapped in leather, foam backed, same for the aircon box, job done.

Not sure it totally ruins the car, but yes, pondering the precise solutions would certainly be done whilst bombing down the autoroute.

In fairness, there are a lot of shades of brown in the interior and getting a precise match to one of the existing shades would be tricky. Some custom chrome trim might do the trick.

. Pwoar. Steed's motor from the New Avengers. Always lusted after this. Looks like it needs a bit of attention though.

Who doesn't love a Defender. Good work!

Obviously it's a lot pricier than it was a few years back an you'll all have stores of how you almost bought one for £920, but this is magnificent at any money.
