Some spots from over the years


Recommended Posts

This is brillaint, all your spost are great PC. The grafting on a front end of one car to another seems quite common place in ARab/North African countries. When I was in Syria quite some time back I remember seeing Mercedes W123 front ends grafted onto seom 3-wheeler trucks and BMW 3-series front ends grafted omtp Skoda Pick-ups.

 

Seems quite strange to see a BMW with a badly grafted front end of a Merc/whatever on it, Arabs/North Africans tend to be quite proud of owning Mercs/BMWs.

Thanks for the kind comments, your Lordship.

 

As for the bonnet graft, this motor was sat there or thereabouts the whole time we were in Marrakesh. Does that look like a Merc bonnet and grille? I'm just not sure...

 

MERCEDESBENZ190-W201--medium-936_2.jpg

 

...and isn't it great the owner has gone to the trouble of colour-matching?

Maybe he is trying to make it look like a Gaz Volga:

Its definiately a Merc grille, maybe he is trying to make a 'hybrid' even?

You do get around a bit! The Marrakesh batch is particularly epic - thanks for posting them all up.
