Help needed in finding CRAYFORD converted Mercedes estates

[chalda]

In the 70s, Crayford (based in Westerham, Kent) not only chopped the roofs of Minis but also converted Mercedes-Benz cars into estates.

There is a fine club that covers the Crayford history (Crayford Convertible Car Club) and the former owner, David McMullan, is very much involved in the club. However, they did not keep much information about their conversion when they did them.

I am particulary interested in the "Stroke-Eight" W114/W115 model range, of which approximately 400 or so have been converted into estates between 1970 and 1976. At least two of them still exist today, and I own both.

Now I am looking for the other 398. If you ever in your life spotted something like this:

Hi, sure ;-). Met the owner last year and checked the car over. He spent a huge amount (time and money) on restoring it. The only LWB as far as we know. Thanks!
